good of the many. Utilitarian moral theories evaluate the moral worth of action on the basis of happiness that is produced by an action. Whatever produces the most happiness in the most people is the moral course of action. I will give the best arguments against Utilitarianism‚ and show in my own opinion‚ why I think they are wrong. The strongest counterargument against Utilitarianism would have to be Sterling Harwood’s eleven objections to the theory. Sterling Harwood states that even he does

As nature gas is more economic sustainable than other energy sources‚ we can see a remarkable consumption increase in nature gas since 2000. Also‚ the demand for nature gas always exceeds the outputs produced. The short of supply in nature gas market was mainly because of conventional technology since large

Energy is needed by the body to stay alive‚ grow‚ keep warm and move around. Energy is provided by food and drink. It comes from the fat‚ carbohydrate‚ protein and alcohol the diet contains. Energy requirements vary from one individual to the next‚ depending on factors such as age‚ sex‚ body composition and physical activity level. Energy expenditure is the sum of the basal metabolic rate (the amount of energy expended while at complete rest)‚ the thermic effect of food (TEF‚ the energy required

Proposal Energy Audit: An energy audit is an inspection‚ survey and analysis of energy‚ flows for energy conservation in a building‚ process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output(s). Energy audit identifies opportunities for financial savings by elimination of wasteful use of electricity‚ coal and fuel oil‚ without affecting the process or quality of product. Need for Energy Audit: It has been established that Energy savings

to have an ever-increasing need for more energy. Both households and industries require large amounts of power. At the same time our means of production face new problems. International treaties aim to limit the levels of pollution‚ global warming prompts action to reduce the output of carbon dioxide and several countries have decided to decommission old nuclear power plants and not build new ones. Such development brings about the need to replace old energy production methods with new ones. While

Energy crisis is a major challenge that should be overcome in modern times when people have embraced the use of electric devices in performing various activities. Consequently‚ the use of these electric devices leads to heavy consumption of electric power that calls for the adoption of energy efficient appliances. Energy efficiency refers to reduced use of energy in a given service (Dorsi & Krigger‚ 2008). The reduced consumption of energy is as a result of technological advancement as well as from

Energy in food lab report Aim: How much energy there is in food. Hypothesis: If I work out how much the water temperature has risen by burning food underneath water‚ the mass of the water and the mass of food I can work out how much energy was in the food. Introduction: This experiment is about how much energy there is in food. There are a few different types of energy‚ the one we are looking at is chemical energy. Some other types of energy are: thermal energy which is heat‚ magnetic energy which
