To start off, the readings are similar because of the strong core values…

There are many opinions and perspectives on these topics but within utilitarianism is a kind of consequentialism, which states that the best action is the one that maximizes utility and its actions are solely judged by its consequences.

to be completely bored. I thought that since it was a silent film with music, I would not be able to understand what was going on and for a while I was right but as I continued to view the film, I completely understood what was going on. The Jazz Singer sparked a revolution by the film industry to have synchronized speech, singing, and music using the vitaphone.

The article describes five levels of ethical programming. Level 0 is where ethics in not part of the programming of a device or software. The idea behind level 0 is the devices must perform as described,…

Humans attribute value to objects. Bentham tries to find what humans value fundamentally in a manner similar to the first cause argument. Through this process he deduces that humans fundamentally value pleasure, along with the avoidance of pain. The reason pleasure was the ultimate conclusion is that pleasure cannot be traded away. Bentham is a utilitarian, so he believes in the meaning of the consequences rather than the meaning of the actions. These trades adding up have a net consequence.…
