Deontological ethics: "in philosophy, ethical theories that place special emphasis on the relationship between duty and the morality of human actions." (Encyclopidia Britannica, 2018).

Kantian ethics: Believed that it was our will to do the right thing. As the phrase goes "The Goodwill" meaning that anything we do can be used for good or bad, the goodwill must be good within itself.

Natural Law Theory: Descended from the theorist Thomas Aquinas, he believed that god pre-loaded us with all the tools we need to know whats right.

Divine command theory: the belief of what is moral and what is immoral is commanded by the divine whether it be some gods or one god. The foundation of this ethical theory is the god. If you need an answer to something, "ask God. This theory believes that morality itself comes from God."

What the similarities between the three schools of thought all have in common is the belief of what is right in our eyes. They all pertain to the specific decisions of what us as humans would consider right from wrong and good from bad. It also relates to one another because they all pertain to the morality of good/ bad or right/wrong.
