Utilitarian - Utilitarianism is an ethical framework for effective moral action. Fundamentally, it is based quantifying good in terms of utility and attempting to maximize that quantity. Utility is often defined as happiness or pleasure, although there are other variants, such as the satisfaction of preferences, or preference utilitarianism. Utilitarianism is often defined as an effort to achieve the greatest good for the greatest number. There are also numerous sub-strands of utilitarianism with various caveats and footnotes on the basic theme. Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism, where the ends justify the means: if an interim valley of negative utility must be traversed to reach a peak of greater utility, then utilitarianism advocates it.

Absolutist - Absolutism means that the ultimate authority in the state is rested in the hands of a king who claims to rule by divine right. It is a form of government in which the ruler is an absolute dictator and has complete and unrestricted power in government. Since the kings received their power from God, their authority was absolute. Under absolutism the king has the power to make laws, administer justice, control the state's administrative system, and determine foreign policy.

The Golden Rule - The Golden Rule is an ethical code that states one has a right to just treatment, and a responsibility to ensure justice for others. It is also called the ethic of reciprocity. It is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, though it has its critics. A key element of the golden rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people, not just members of his or her in-group, with consideration.
