Most people are unaccustomed to considering moral issues, at all, in any sort of systematic, scientific, logical manner, but that is, after all, what the study of #Philosophy entails, and #Politics is merely "Applied #Morality", so the terms "deontology" and "teleology" are unfamiliar to them.

A #deontological morality determines rectitude by logical derivation from axioms and postulates, whereas a #teleological morality is one which determines rectitude by intentions or consequences.

#Emotion words were used less by #Spanish bilinguals that read and wrote about whether to sacrifice someone to save lives (on footbridge #trolleyProblem) in their #secondLanguage (#English).

Using their 2nd #language also led to more #utilitarian #moral decisions and arguments—an effect mediated by using (fewer) high-arousal words.

Support for #dualProcessTheory claims that #emotion can promote #deontological #ethical thinking?
