Egoism tends to receive a bad reputation or negative connotation because it is often confused with selfishness rather than the preservation of self-interest. Ethical egoism is the view that morally right actions are those that are in one's own best interest. Since this is a consequential theory, the outcome is the determining factor. If the outcome is in the person's best interest, then it is the morally right thing to do.Discuss if you feel this situattion fits into the ethical egoism view.

Last march end of April is usually when a girlfriend and I decide to take a vacation to Florida, we usually go for about a week and then stay in KissimmeeFlorida at I believe its called Honeymoon Haven its like a resort type place. We stay there every year that we go. We love it and will keep staying there possibly not sure because my best friend just moved down to Tampa Florida so might have to go stay with her. But before I said I would go again to Florida I warned her about me having to study quite a bit and it will cut into me participating in everything that happens. She had brought her two kids and her sons girlfriend with. My two couldn't go because of school for one of them and the other is knee deep into sports all of the time. We made it down to Florida and the first day we went out to eat and did a little shopping, plus her kids went in the pool that evening. The time came when I had to sit out of a few activities I knew my friend was little disappointed but handled it well but as the week went on and I spent more and more time on my stuff I could really tell she was mad. She was quiet and didn't really talk to me at all. I just let it go because I knew eventually she would get over it but I guess when we got back to work because we work at the same place she was telling people how frustrated she was getting with me having to do schoolwork. Our boss finally spoke up and told her that she was the one that had encouraged me to go back to school and now your getting mad because she is taking seriously when she had told you ahead of time that this was going to happen. When this got back to me I confronted her about her problem that she had with me and she apologized to me. She didn't realize how much it was going to bother her me missing out on somethings that they were doing. I told her that it makes me feel good that she wants me to be there that much but I had to do what I had to do.
