chosen Act-Utilitarianism to analyze in this paper. My assertion is that Act-Utilitarianism is not a viable solution to the problem of punishment. I believe this because Act-Utilitarianism‚ while attempting to maximize overall utility‚ often leads to situations where the wrong answers are given to moral questions. This results in Act-Utilitarianism finding justification for punishment in bad moral theories‚ thus invalidating any justification given. While I do not believe that Act-Utilitarianism is an

Introduction Much like the idea of utilitarianism‚ my view on morality and ethics has to do with happiness‚ but not my personal happiness nor the happiness of others. My idea of morality is doing what makes God happy. I am a Christian‚ and my “moral compass” comes right from the Bible. Right and wrong are not subjective‚ they are not grey areas‚ and they are not up for debate. What God says is right is right‚ and what God says is wrong is wrong. This is why I absolutely detest the idea of Cultural

“Utilitarianism works” Asses this view Bentham created utilitarianism and Mill improved it. It main points are that human society exists to create happiness‚ that happiness is the highest goal and that everything needs to fit a purpose. The advantages of Bentham’s theory include a reasonable link between moralities‚ the pursuit of happiness and the avoidance of pain. According to Bowie it seems natural to consider the consequences when deciding our actions. He stated that “Utilitarianism offers

EXPLAIN PLATO’S CONCEPT OF THE “FORMS” (25 marks) Plato theorised that beyond the material world there was a “realm of ideas and concepts”; he calls these the Forms. A Form can be described as the “essence” of something‚ the very attributes and characteristics that make something what it is. For example‚ in the realm of the Forms there can be found a form which outlines all that a cat should be. All cats found on earth are in fact imitating this basic form‚ making them dim replications of true “catness”

Through looking at advertising we can learn not only how the most simple narratives are constructed (a print ad is simpler than a magazine article‚ a TVC is simpler than a feature film‚ although they use the same narrative techniques)‚ but how ideas can be communicated at great speed‚ through the use of single images and words.

It uses objectification since the theory argues that certain things are always wrong or always right with no exceptions. The time‚ place or culture have no power as it does in relativism which is more subjective (Moore). And in comparison to utilitarianism‚ absolutism targets the act and not the outcome. Since absolutism theory believes and focuses on opposite principles than relativism and utilitarianism‚ it would be fair to say that absolutism would strongly disagree

So far‚ it seems to be the best moral theory we have talked about because it seems to take parts from both Kantianism and Utilitarianism; neither of which seemed like the “correct” moral theory. Virtue ethics is more concerned with the aim of humans. On the other hand‚ Kantianism dealt with intent‚ and Utilitarianism was about maximizing happiness for the greatest number. Virtue ethics seems to be more practical than theoretical like the previous moral theories we talked about in class. Aristotle

Utilitarianism says that the moral and ethical thing to do is that which provides the most happiness or the least unhappiness to society. Sitting in class listening to the lecture on the moral theory of Utilitarianism it first sounded like the best moral theory ever. However as the classes continued and we learned more and more about this theory my opinion quickly changed. In this paper I will defend the idea that Utilitarianism is a failed moral theory. As stated in James Rachels‚ The Elements
