Examples Of Utilitarianism
Utilitarianism.
“The principle of utility as outlined by John Stuart Mill is that one is obligated morally to produce the greatest good for the greatest number of people “ (Bluffton College).in other worlds you have to weight your action and its effects on society as a hole. It is your moral duty to optimize every situation. It could contain human sacrifice (sacrificing one person for the survival of 2 people) by determining that such an action will optimize utility in the situation; this will make the utilitarian point always abjectly correct. Under this systems your personal intentions count just like one vote and your fate can be decided by other people.
As an example of this moral theory in practice you can observe: the human sacrifices …show more content…
Starting with the utilitarian and the libertarian ethical theories, both are similar in ways that provide the freedom for the human beings today. A utilitarian and libertarian both share that common self-interest and caring for one and each other. Knowing that only what you can do and what you should do is effected immediately and that in end, it shapes your path of direction in life. Also affecting others as well, one’s action is to result in the honor of treating yourself and others right and correctly. Want something back in return? Do something for someone or for yourself that can help others or your own self. Yet the differences in these two theories are kind of clearly stated. The utilitarian theory leans more towards the aspect that you, the person or human being, takes and makes the correct decisions that can affect others positively or negatively. Focusing on how you perform, it is a self-ideal personality that you need to create in order to change for the better good of others and yourself. The libertarian theory on the other hand leans towards the nation as a whole. Focusing on how the government should have less interaction in the daily lives of the people, it relies on the greater good of the people to control their lives but in a peaceful and harmonic mindset and attitude as a whole nation …show more content…
It is what you choose to do, period. No matter what the decision is, it can be either wrong or right. Putting to the perspective that it is how you see the situation. Many others may see differently, but it is up to you to do the right thing, even if it’s wrong to. Relying mainly on your decision and your decision alone, you are to choose what brings the greater good and peace for everyone. Yet both theories have their own ways. For one, the utilitarian theory is what is needed to be improved and to continue on as the ground base for all decisions made. Seeing that it is to maximize the balance of pleasure over pain, it seems that there is a broad illustration that only what could’ve been done or what has been done should continue on and should be repeated. For deontological theory, its approach seems like one-at-a-time kind of a view. Although the decisions made, the concerning one is to be made by one’s thought and their views behind it. Not many will get why. Some will impose, some will see the other side to the decision and agree. There is never a right or wrong answer, but there is a right or wrong effect once the decision is made. Overall, there is not a common structure that the deontological theory can base its facts in like the utilitarian
