The different forms of ethics are:
(1) Utilitarianism (that things should be done to improve the happiness of the greater majority) e.g. torture to one person will increase the happiness of many is a Utilitarianism way of thinking.
(2) Consequentialist (that the consequences of an action defines whether it was an ethical action or not, though this is not absolute) e.g. 2 of the same situations handled in different ways but with the same consequences, both are most likely to be right. However in extreme cases the means in which the result is achieved can effect its ethical standing (see non-consequentialist)
(3) Non-Consequentialist (that the consequences do not always dictate whether an action was ethically and morally correct, though this is not absolute) e.g. torture of a person is never ethically correct even if the consequences are good. However in extreme cases the result could dictate its ethical standing (see consequentialist)
(4) Kantian Theory, born from Immanuel Kant in the 18th century, the notion that actions are considered ethically wrong / right depending on their intrinsic values and principles according to society and forms of creation. So everyone believes that breaking a promise is morally wrong, so Kantian Theory sees this a being ethically wrong!
(5) Deontological Theory, This is what the Kantian Theory is based on, the notion of socially and economically created principles of morals and right or wrong, e.g., breaking a promise, punishing the innocent, murder and many forms of lying.
