In utilitarianism, we must always first determine all our possible outcomes of…

final breaths, he mutters “death is over…there is no death,” (134). In the same way, The Death of Ivan Ilyich is a story about the life leading up to death, rather than death itself. Through both Ivan and the rest of the characters, Tolstoy offers moral advice regarding how to handle the ultimate buildup to death. Ivan’s family and colleagues’ grandiose materialism is strikingly contrasted with the servant Gerasim’s selflessness. In fact, Gerasim’s personality is so divergent from the rest of…

The majority believe the agent has a moral duty to sacrifice his sports car to save the child. Even though, the agent endures a greater personal cost that is outweighed by his moral duty to the child. With this in mind, the agent may not believe the damage to the sports car is worth the risk to save the child, as a consequence, he may not feel morally obligated to do so. Thenceforth,…

the “right to happiness” speaks of more than just a legal right. The man and Clare referred the “right to happiness” as more of a moral right.

What will happen when we pursue happiness outside of our moral frame work? The answer to this question is that lives we live and the happiness we pursue are put in harm’s way once we use…
