    My purpose in this paper is to explain and analyze the theory of utilitarianism. I will do this by explaining the differences between the way Bentham and Mill believe utilitarianism should be determined, including their different hedonistic ideas. I am more in favor of Mill’s hedonistic view on utilitarianism because it places more emphasis on the quality of happiness one can create versus Bentham’s quantitative hedonistic view of just the net amount of happiness one can experience.…

    What is realism? According to Peter Brooks, realism can take up various forms: realism as the visual, or realism as the ordinary aspects of life, or realism as the ugliest aspects of life, as long the message is conveyed.

John Stuart Mill (1806-1873), Bentham’s disciple, modified the theory by…

He argued that there is an easy way of calculating human actions, and it is done by considering how intensely pleasure is felt, how long it lasts, how quickly it follows upon the action, and how likely it is to avoid harm. Utilitarianism…
