� What are goal based ethics?

�  A goal is the sum of many actions to accomplish one overall thing.

�  Do the actions we are taking to achieve this overall goal justify the end result or our goal?

�  Ethically are we doing what is best for all involved and not just whatever it takes to reach that goal.

�  Are our actions ethical?

�  Does the end justify the means?
