Moral absolutism is an ethical view that some actions are intrinsically right or wrong. Stealing, for instance, might be considered to be always immoral, even if done for the well-being of others , and even if it does in the end promote such a good. Moral absolutism stands in contrast to other categories of normative ethical theories such as consequentialism, which holds that the morality of an act depends on the consequences or the context of the act.
