Utilitarianism is making decisions that will bring out the most delight in the majority of people. Consequentialist and utility are the two fundamental principles that utilitarianism is based on. The consequentialist principle is what decides what is correct or incorrect based on the consequences. The utility principle is decided on which consequence is the best decided by the amount of satisfied or unsatisfied people. These principles introduce two formulations: act- and rule-utilitarianism.…

Also, Socrates will try to argue that a city is necessary because humans need to rely on one another in order to accomplish tasks. Socrates begins his argument when he states, “So if you approve, why don’t we start by finding out what sort of thing it is in cities? After that we can make a similar inquiry into the individual, trying to find the likeness of the larger version in the form the smaller takes” (line 369). He first proposes the dissection of a city. First, you must look for justice in…

When considering this process of ethics, it is important to keep in mind that it is one thing to have ethics (everyone has ethics), but it is another thing to develop good ethics. This statement reflects on current ethical standards. The practice and relaxed punishment of poor ethics is currently being imitated. Society’s acceptance of poor ethics has followed Skinner’s automatic process stage. Consistent practice of good ethics today is no longer considered automatic, but uncommon. Due to the…

Empiric Knowing From a traditional standpoint, empiric implies an objective, non-theoretic observation, which implies that the meaning exists in what is observed apart from the interpretations of the observer (Chinn & Kramer, 2011, p. 154). Chinn & Kramer (2011) further describe empiric knowledge as that which is developed from controlled experimental studies as well as naturalistic methods that rely on interacting with and understanding the nature of experience as it is perceived (p. 154).…

In his essay, Peter Singer argues that humans have the skills and resources necessary to end suffering in the world. He says that to do this we are each morally obligated to give as much as we are able without negative consequences on ourselves. He also states that in order for this to be achieved as a moral code, our structure of society must be changed. In this paper, I will argue that Peter Singer adequately presents his argument. I will also raise an objection to his argument and state his…

Ethical conflicts are inescapable in today’s healthcare setting. There are ethical implications in every aspect of the systems that affect healthcare and the way clinicians, patients and family members interact with it. Healthcare systems have a wide range of stakeholders, all with differing interests that can conflict. Political systems, economic factors, demographic changes, the influence of a culturally diverse world, and the clinical transformation that regulatory changes such as the…

Advertisements, or ads, on a webpage are affected by who’s viewing it and other content on the page, causing ads to be tailored to users.

Third Party Ad servers are used so that each individual web domain host can focus on the actual content of their page instead of the ads to be displayed. Google can manage and track the performance of advertisers on their site. Publishers…

Modern culture has established a social order in which ideals, opinions, and advice are constantly imposed upon society. Peers, teachers, trainers, etc. offer guidance and advocacy for different behavior; but how do those in our inner circle determine what actions are right or wrong themselves? In order to help us understand the structure behind moral philosophy, many theories of morality have been developed. I have elected to argue the Principle of Humanity as the most valid moral theory due…

1. What is the relationship between education and democracy? The understanding of how democracy and education intertwine first starts with learning what democracy actually means. Democracy as stated by Dewey is how we work within our community, how people come together and make decisions that affect the community as a whole. This requires education. Educated individuals are whom you should want to make the decisions needed to keep the community on the right path, but how do you gain information?…
