Consequences or Principles?

Principle,I list this first not because it is the best moral approach or even because it is the one most frequently used, but because it is the most familiar since most ethics education is based on principles.a principle is a general normative standard of conduct, holding that a particular decision or action is true or right or good for all people in all times and in all places.The Ten Commandments and the Golden Rule are example of principles.They are self-evident, need no explanation, and apply to everyone. For a principle-oriented person, an action or decision is right or wrong regardless of the consequences. People who find it natural to use the principle approach to moral decision making tend to use words like "must," "ought," "duty," "obligation," "always," and "never." People without principles, have no parameters limiting what they will or will not do.On the other hand, one who always uses the principle approach will likely be considered dogmatic and hard to get along with.
