A common theme in literature is that of good versus evil. This proves to be true in Alice Sebold’s novel, The Lovely Bones. While it might be hard to imagine any good coming from the story of a brutal rape and murder of a fourteen year old girl, there are moments in the novel that illustrate this battle between good and evil. From the very beginning of the story, we are introduced to good in a young Susie and also to evil in Mr. Harvey. The cruelty with which Mr. Harvey treats this young…

Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that says morality is related to the amount of happiness moral acts produce. Although there are many forms of Utilitarianism, in this paper I am concerned only with Act Utilitarianism, a form of Utilitarianism that places moral emphasis on particular acts. For purposes of simplicity, I will be referring to Act Utilitarianism short-hand as Utilitarianism. Further, Act Utilitarianism can be interpreted through a lens of either practical or theoretical ethics.…

What is the great happiness? According to John Mills, the greatest happiness is when “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness; wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” The greatest happiness principle is the most fundamental claim that he discusses. So, what exactly is happiness itself? Mills defines happiness as pleasure in the absence of pain. Therefore, to be unhappy is to be in the presence of pain and “the privation of pleasure.” Mills believes that…

Final Essay Questions- “The Art of Letting Go” “Introduction to My View” Are humans innately good or bad? I believe humans are innately good, as Jean-Jacques Rousseau believed.

As a counselor in training, this is my view of human nature and our society. I truly believe that people want to move in a positive direction in their lives and careers.…

Introduction: John Stuart Mill, although accepts the Radicals legacy in the utilitarian domain, he adds to and supplements their points of views, especially in the areas of human motivation and the true nature of happiness. When we read through Mill’s approach on happiness, we see how a lot of Radicals’ assumptions are modified, this can be seen in the second chapter of his essay: Utilitarianism. The Proportionality Doctrine is one of the most prominent concepts that emerge from his writing…

John 17:14; “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” This scripture has impressed my mind when the stresses of the world apply their chokeholds and temptations. Never has it filled my mind as often, or sent more solace and strengthened reassurance than since I have been feasting on the teachings and examples of Christ in these four New Testament Gospels. My sister is an atheist. She is in "satan 's power" and…

Finding Neverland is the story of J. M. Barrie, a playwright, who finds inspiration for the play Peter Pan through the four Davies boys and their mother Sylvia. Besides the fact that Johnny Depp is possibly one of the greatest actors of our time, this is a splendid film. Barrie needs inspiration for his next play and finds it while playing with all four of the Davies boys as they use their imagination. The editing in this movie helps show the viewer not only the reality of their pretending but…

In addition to the dwarfs, Susan Pevensie is notably absent. Peter refers to Susan as “no longer a friend of Narnia” (). The absence of one of the greatest heroes of Narnia affirms that the Catholic understanding of salvation as a process. Despite Susan’s presence and participation in the greatest events of…

“The creed which accepts as the foundations of morals, Utility, or the Greatest-Happiness Principle, holds that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. By happiness is intended pleasure, and the absence of pain; by unhappiness, pain, and the privation of pleasure.” This quote, by John Stuart Mill, about Utilitarianism embodies my ethical decision making process in a way that Relativism, Deontology or any other…
