According to the ideology of Classical Utilitarianism, humans have the moral obligation to choose their actions based off what will result in the most net happiness. Happiness and unhappiness in this ideology is based off subjective experience in terms of emotion and bodily sensation. Therefore, happiness corresponds to a pleasant experience while unhappiness corresponds to an unpleasant experience. Classical Utilitarianism relies on the Greatest Happiness Principle, which states that the right…

In order to understand the position of John Stuart Mill in both of these situations, one must recognize what he advocates. Therefore, it is reasonable to assess the concept of utilitarianism with his work, “Utilitarianism”. The rudimentary perception behind this philosophical notion is that deeds are ethically correct only if they produce the greatest overall amount of good for everyone, or in this case, happiness. This is otherwise known as, “the effects of things upon their happiness, the…

Utilitarianism is the philosophical theory that shows us how we should evaluate a wide range of things that involve choices that people in general face and it is a philosophy which focuses on happiness, pleasure and consequences. Utilitarianism rests on consequentialism which mean that they the consequences of actions that determine whether they are good or bad. Utilitarian reasoning can be used for various ideas and actions. This reasoning can both be used for moral reasoning and even other…

Philosophical theories of well-being can be divided in subjective and objective theories of well-being. Subjective theories of well-being claim that well-being is dependent on the subject’s attitude of favor and disfavor while objective theories deny that. In this paper, I will discuss two subjective theories of well-being: theory of authentic happiness and hedonism. First, I will point out some important differences between these two theories. Then I will try to criticize hedonism from the…

Utilitarianism is a moral doctrine that implies that the right course of action is the one that produces the greatest balance of benefits over harms for everyone affected. Bentham, the founder of Utilitarianism defined happiness is to be anything that causes pleasure and unhappiness is to be anything that causes pain. John Stuart Mill, an English philosopher and economist, took Bentham’s moral theories on Utilitarianism and developed them farther. Mill formed all of his ideas off of Bentham’s…

There is no doubting the fact that animals do not have rights in the conventional sense, or in any other sense for that matter. The reason is because they are not moral agents; they cannot do things out of a sense of right or wrong and cannot reason, as opposed to humans. Without reasoning, they are unable to have rights and therefore, are not responsible. Does that mean humans have the right to treat animals badly? Of course not; but that is for humans to decide, because animals cannot decide…

Utilitarian Consequentialism basically surrounds itself based off the idea that an action can be evaluated in terms of pleasure and pain in causes. With Utilitarian it attempts to weigh out the options, in which they will arrive at a moral decision and the decision will be that will cause the least amount of pain possible but will have the happiest outcome in the end of it all. The utilitarian consequentialist viewpoint on human water is arguable to be valid because to be able to allow human…

Utilitarianism The utilitarianism is a great moral theory that can be applied to solve moral issues such by interrogating a terrorist and violating their human rights. We can take as an example the use of torture such as sleep deprivation in the interrogation to a terrorist or some war prisoner, in utilitarianism that action is being justified because it can help to save a lot of people for a future attack from an enemy, or to help to get in jail more terrorists that are involved in the…

The three music videos I have chosen are “For Everybody” by Juicy J, “All Eyes On You” by Meek Mill, and “Earned It” by The Weeknd. For the first music video, “For Everybody,” the cast is very diverse except for the artists who are all African-American. However, the women in the video are of all different cultures. The video portrays women as objects as they just walk about and flaunt their mostly naked bodies on the screen. Not only does the video portray the women as objects, but the…

Not often does a decision made by a director due to lack of funds create an end result that critics will continue discussing for nearly a century. However German director Fritz Lang, made such a decision for his 1931 film, M. Partly due to monetary constraints, and partly due to feelings that his own artistic vision would be compromised by including sound in his piece, the end result was a film with roughly a third in total silence. No film, as of yet, quite encapsulates the deafening power of…
