According to the theory of deontology,the intrinsic significance of an act itself is the criterion for determination of good;the motives of the person performing the act are as important as the consequences of that act.The basic concept of this theory is the categorical imperative,which states that a person should act only if the action is based on a universal principle (everyone would act the same way in a similar situation)and that a person should never be treated as the means to an end.
