Jack Ma once said, “Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.” In the story Hatchet written by Gary Paulsen, thirteen- year-old Brian Robeson related to this quote. Brian was on his way to Canada to see his dad because his parents are divorced. On the way, he crash landed because the pilot of the plane had a heart attack. He crash landed into a lake in the Canadian wilderness with only a hatchet and a windbreaker. Brian showed to be scared

There are two classical types of utilitarianism: act utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarianism evaluates actions one at a time, saying that an action is good if it produces the greatest happiness for the greatest number, and if it produces unhappiness. Pojman defines act utilitarianism as an act is right if and only if it results in as much good as any available alternative(Cahn 126). According to Act utilitarianism the principle is implied directly to the selection of actions

The Circle is a Panopticon According to Dalai Lama, a lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity. The novel The Circle by Dave Eggers displays an example of full transparency with the company the Circle. A panopticon is full transparency without the other person knowing. The company, Circle, is a panopticon because the Circle is a transparent company, the Circlers work are taking over their lives like a prisoner, and the Circle uses oppressive behavior towards the Circlers

In “Panopticism”, Michel Foucault proposes an explanation for how power and discipline are instilled and function within society. These ideas were created based on the purification and partitioning systems introduced during the seventeenth century plague. Families were confined to their households and failure to comply with daily roll calls, limited food rations, and immobility resulted in death. The Panopticon created by Bentham provides further support for the concept of constant visibility. This

Utilitarianism has been defined as a philosophy which supports the view that the actions of every person are motivated by the desire to maximize utility. In this paper I seek to answer questions based on the understanding of utilitarianism as discussed by John Stuart Mill in chapter four. In my opinion Mill is successful in proving utilitarianism. Mill makes a very compelling argument that from my point of view is developed in a philosophical way and leads to deductions which are highly probable

Henry Forester, a co-pilot in the U.S. Air Force, and his flight crew took off on a flight to bomb southern Germany. Out of nowhere, a Luftwaffe squadron of Fw-190 attacked them, only a portion of his crew make it out together, he was not one of them. Before Henry’s b-24 crashes he manages to parachute into a small province in France called Alsace. He meets an old man who is willing to hide and protect him from any Nazi soldiers.

‘ultimate appeal on all ethical questions; but it must be utility in the largest sense, grounded on the permanent interests of man as a progressive being’ (Mill, 114). His definition of utility and his understanding of utilitarianism are in line with Jeremy Bentham’s ‘greatest happiness principle’, in which Bentham’s ‘greatest happiness’ corresponds to Mill’s ‘utility in the largest sense’. In Mill’s opinion, liberty, as the best means to promote utility in the largest sense, ought to be performed

Modern Utilitarianism was founded by philosophers Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill in the 19th Century. Utilitarianism is the moral theory that focuses on the results and consequences of our actions and views intentions as irrelevant. In John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism, he emphasizes the idea that happiness is the superior basis for moral decisions. Mill bases this argument on two large contentions: the greatest happiness principle legitimizes that happiness as moral, and the ambitions of
