Monetized Utilitarianism

No, because it has been proven that major lottery winners are not happier than before winning. Also I believe that everyone in life has something missing in their life that makes them unhappy; and when one has large amounts of excess money, they tend to have something else missing in their life that leads to unhappiness. Thus they’re unhappy and money doesn’t always lead to happiness. The advantages of being more wealthy include having access to resources that could make you happy, but the actual, physical money won’t necessarily lead to happiness.

Lotteries generally bring riches to the winner however that’s not the case in Shirley Jackson’s Short Story, “The Lottery,” published June, 1948. The story starts out very pleasant and calm with a tiny flinch of nervousness from the lottery participants. It seems at first that the winner of the lottery would get a somewhat significant prize considering all the build up to the big prize reveal, however, the winner, Tessie Hutchinson, ends up getting stoned to death by the kids and adults alike. Instead of a big happy prize Jackson wrote the story to point out meaningless victimization and inhumane activities that have taken place throughout history. Some violent and dark events of that time that highlight Jackson’s viewpoint of inhumanity

First off, winning the lottery may not be a blessing because you can lose your money quicker than you think. After winning the lottery, the government takes almost a quarter of your winnings in taxes to help cover the United States’ debt. If you won about 10 million dollars, the government would take around 2.5 million in taxes. Another way you can

Happiness has many different meanings however, happiness does not always come the way people expect it to, sometimes the things that we think will bring us joy really causes stress and unhappiness. Many people always say how “if they won the lottery everything would be perfect” or “I can't wait till I get a real job”. Studies have shown that people who actually win the lottery are not as happy as they were before or have a high on happiness and then it's gone.After reading both article from this week I see now that money is not everything.

Is winning the lottery meant to be fortunate and cherishing? Most would have said of course! However, sadly it is not the reality in this case scenario. In the movies “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson and The Hunger Games by Gary Ross having your name being drawn is most likely one of the worst things that could happen in their small town or district. These two movies do have comparisons and differences. Both of these movies have sacrifice and tradition, on the other hand they have two extremely different protagonists known as Katniss and Tessie; which make their stories more on a distinctive perspective. “The Lottery” and The Hunger Games are similar in regards to sacrificing and traditional beliefs, although they differ by the main characters

Utilitarianism is a theory in normative ethics supporting the idea that the morally correct course of action is the one that maximizes utility, usually defined as maximizing totally benefit and minimizing suffering. By ‘utility’ in this sense we mean ‘happiness’ or ‘pleasure, or similar. Although there are many varieties,

During Adolf Hitler’s conquer over the Jews, a long-term brain washing effect named propaganda, monopolized Germany. Propaganda was what Hitler loved to use because it worked so well for him! He controlled everyone’s lives by: what they did, how they did it, whom they could be with, and what jobs they could have. It got so bad to the point where he had cameras everywhere and could see what people were doing in their private lives—they did not have private lives. While Hitler had many obstacles and accomplishments, his biggest and most successful of them all was the promotion of Anti-Semitism.

I have always been one to side with a utilitarian’s point of view, such as Mill and Bentham. The greatest happiness of the greatest number, or as cold as it may be, sacrificing the few for the good of the many. Utilitarian moral theories evaluate the moral worth of action on the basis of happiness that is produced by an action. Whatever produces the most happiness in the most people is the moral course of action. I will give the best arguments against Utilitarianism, and show in my own opinion, why I think they are wrong.

In Shirley Jackson's, "The Lottery", human morals and values are thrown away all for the pride of winning something. What is it that they really win? When you win the lottery in this story, you actually win death by stoning. Isn't that ironic, people actually being competitive and getting excited about death in public. What morals or values do these people really have, and how are they different from what common society is thought today?

The idea of winning a lottery is associated with luck, happiness and anticipation of good things. In Shirley Jackson's story, " The Lottery", this is not the case. The irony of the story is that the winner of the lottery gets stoned to death by everyone else in the town. The story is very effective because it examines certain aspects of human nature.

The lottery is usually associated with beating the odds and winning something extravagant. In Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery”, the reader is led to believe the story is about something cheerful and happy given the setting of a warm summer day and children out of school for the summer. Jackson turns winning the lottery into a bad thing. Of 300 villagers Tessie Hutchinson shows up late, claiming she forgot about the annual lottery drawing, but seems very excited to have made it on time. When Tessie was in no danger she is gossiping with neighbors and encourages her husband to draw for the winner. Jackson curiously builds up the character of Tessie so that it seems she is blinded by tradition until she becomes a victim of it

Lottery is one of the best things that has ever happened to human kind especially those that dream high and but their dreams don’t come to life because they don’t have what it takes to make it happen. Lotteries are in various categories such as sweep stakes, scratch off, the Jackpot and even the green card lottery. The lottery that is being focused in this argument is the jackpot one. When individuals or people in general buy the lottery ticket their hopes are high, and they anxiously await with anticipation hoping to win. If they don’t win, they never give up, for they know that there is always next time and they keep playing. Some people urge that playing lottery is a bad idea because people end up getting

Utilitarianism can be generally defined as a way of thinking where one chooses an action based on the amount of happiness that it would produce. In the book Ethics: Theory and Contemporary Issues, by Barbara MacKinnon and Andrew Fiala, the authors state “Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism,” and that “John Stuart Mill explained it as ‘actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.’” (MacKinnon 95). This means that utilitarianism focuses on result of an action based on happiness and that decisions can be taken made by looking at possible outcomes of that decision. What Mill stated would be defined as “ the principle of utility or the greatest happiness principle.”( MacKinnon, 95). This principle is one in which could be
