Justin, the оwner оf а restаurаnt, decides tо donate leftover food to a homeless shelter. Blaine, an employee who was angry with Justin over not getting a raise, claimed that Justin decided to donate the food only for publicity and that Justin did not really care about homeless people. Peter, another employee, disagreed, contending that regardless of motivation, Justin was acting ethically because of the consequences involved and the number of people helped. If Justin wanted to argue that a genuine desire to help the poor—not publicity—was the true reason behind the donation, which ethical framework would best support that argument?
