Answer: Deontological theory of reversibility

Explanation:

What Deontology?

This theory states that an individual must commit to doing the right thing considering the acceptable thing to do in the eyes of the law.

This theory expect someone to play their part at all times in doing the right thing nomatter what others may think.

This theory has two component.

Namely the reversibility principle and the universality principle.

The example above is a reversibility principle

Reversibility principle means that what ever you do to someone else should be the same thing that you may also like them to do to you. This rule enforces that a person need to look at their intended actions from the eyes of the other person who will be affected by that particular action.

So Craig looked at what would he do if he has to give someone else an advice will he allow them to hurt another person.

He then took charge to do the right thing.
