On morals/ethics are you a utilitarian, a deontologist; or a virtue ethicist

Suppose it is obvious that someone in need should be helped. 
  • 1. A utilitarian will point to the fact that the consequences of doing so will maximize well-being, 
  • 2. a deontologist to the fact that, in doing so the agent will be acting in accordance with a moral rule such as “Do unto others as you would be done by” 
  • 3. and a virtue ethicist to the fact that helping the person would be charitable or benevolent.


So if you choose 1 does that make the other 2 wrong, or juggle then  about like a three card trick
to determine which one is right.

Or, are they all wrong, and 1,2 and 3 are not facts but opinions?
My personal view is that they are all wrong...but that is not a fact it is an opinion.
