Of the three approaches to determining a valid guideline for human behavior, utilitarianism, deontological, and virtue ethics, I feel that an individual should take all three approaches into consideration because I believe people, in general, can't live their lives dedicated to just one type of ethics. There are too many possible situations and outcomes that can occur. If one were to decide to live and dedicate their life around any of these three types of ethics previously mentioned I believe that
