may lead to discovery of important observations that will help improve people’s live, thus producing more good than harm to humans. Therefore according to Rule Utilitarianism, action B should be chosen and human cloning must be banned worldwide. Kantianism: This is the Kant’s ethical theory and it is based on “doing the moral duty, no matter what the desires might be”. The tools that Kant gave to determine what the right moral duty is, depends on meeting and passing two requirements,…

Universal Moral Rightness Amongst philosophers there is much debate over what makes an act right or wrong and whether or not that act has to be inherently wrong or is circumstantial. For an act to be right, must it be possible to will that everyone acts the same way in similar circumstances? According to Immanuel Kant, an 18th century Prussian philosopher, as well as many other deontological philosophers: yes. However, this moral interpretation can manifest conflicts and discrepancies of duty.…

Qualities of Kantianism that are in my moral theory are: measures intentions, not ends nor consequences, minimal, and to set a good example for everyone that those should follow. Qualities of Existentialism I found in my moral theory are: our lives are a product of random…

For example, Kantianism has a categorical imperative. Kantianism states that, when testing whether or not a rule should be set in place, people need to ask themselves if they would want such a rule (or even a law) to be applied universally; that is, to everyone without exception (Van Camp…

Senior Enlisted Leader, Gunnery Sergeant Abbot, talked about the nature of officer’s relationship with senior enlisted and about the compromises of honor and integrity in that case. She gave insight into the nature of those relationships, like the aspect senior enlisted being a mentor, yet having to let the officer make the ultimate decision. When she first heard the story of the Chief and the inspection she immediately criticized the Chief for his lack of integrity and ensued that he should…

develop. Genetic engineering isn't effecting that. Therefore, the embryo's goals are being achieved regardless of genetic engineering. As long as they are being implanted to develop, the embryo's are receiving their benefit. Genetic engineering, on a Kantianism stance, is not considered immoral and only would be if the scientists didn't implant the embryo’s. By not implanting to embryo’s, the scientists would be preventing the…

I will end by summarizing each mentioned element of Deontology and Consequentialism explaining further the morality of this issue closing with Kantianism that fully supports this argument. To begin, the Ends-in-Themselves and Universal Law imperatives of Deontology, when applied, go hand-in-hand and are almost self-explanatory. First, The Ends-in-Themselves imperative can be understood by imagining…

Golden Rule In Kant and Utilitarianism) where “Utilitarianism’s stress upon maximizing the interests and happiness of the greatest number, clearly seem resonant with the spirit of the golden rule.” (The Golden Rule In Kant and Utilitarianism). Both Kantianism and Utilitarianism have to do with respecting others no matter their religious views, gender, sexual orientation, race and color. This ties into respect and therefore, I believe that AT&T should have their diversity policy altered to where…

nature in life. He was born in Königsberg, east Prussia. Which is now a part of Russia, but back then was known as a part of Germany. Immanuel was a huge influence on all aspects of philosophy especially the different schooling of Kantianism and Idealism. Kantianism is the rightness or wrongness of actions that does not depend on the consequences of those actions, but on if they will fulfill our duties. Idealism is more-or-less the ideas that we hold to be true in our own minds; our…

In my opinion, Batman is morally justified in his reasoning for not committing murder due to the balance he has between Utilitarianism and Kantianism. To Batman, killing is an immoral act that hurts not only the victim but also the killer. Every murder is wrong because it removes one more person from the world and creates another murderer. It’s the consequences that Batman avoids, but he does so because of how he values human life. Many stories involve Batman convincing criminals out of…
