UTILITARIANISM

Greatest happiness

  • happiness results when people experience pleasure

  • The 'greatest happiness' part is a maximising principle: it enjoins people to act so as to maximise human happiness produced.

  • if others are happy because of what you did.

  • genuine interest to help others

  • EX. when you graduate and achieved your goals

Moral right- Moral rights also require that your work is not treated in any way that hurts your reputation. This is called right of integrity. For example, it means that: no one can change your work without your permission.

Intent- Moral intent is the desire to act ethically when facing a decision and overcome the rationalization to not be ethical.

  • “Moral Intent is the third step in being your best self. Most people wish to think of themselves as good people, but they also desire the benefits that can come with acting unethically.

  • EX. “I know this is wrong, but my boss has ordered me to do it.” A little alarm should go off in your head warning you that you are about to go off the ethical rails.

Justice- Justice is about right relation to others as measured against the mores of society. and particular behavior that will not be tolerated.

  • fairness

Legal law- also called positive law

EX. For example, a society that makes an example of a corrupt politician with a harsh sentence designed to prevent corruption.

Utility- refers to the capacity of decisions and actions to provide the greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. In utilitarian theory, this is known as "the greatest happiness principle." An action is understood to be good when it promotes happiness rather than unhappiness.

Highest pleasure

  • These might include art and culture, an appreciation for the beauty of nature, rewarding work -- pleasures that (presumably) only humans experience, above and beyond their animalistic needs. Higher pleasures in utilitarian thought are broadly conceived: they include feelings such as contentment, delight, gratitude, and love.

  • "higher" pleasures, available only to humans, derive from art, culture, and higher feelings, such as gratitude and love

HEDONISM

HEDONISM- pleasure and pain can motivate a person

  1. The principle of utility - states that actions or behaviors are right in so far as they promote happiness or pleasure, wrong as they tend to produce unhappiness or pain.
  • right and wrong are to be judged by the degree to which the action judged achieves the greatest happiness of the greatest number

  • is about our subjection to these sovereign masters: pleasure and pain.

  • This means that it is not enough to experience pleasure, but also inquire whether the things we do make us happy.

  1. The principle of the greatest number
  • But the 'of the greatest number' part is a principle of distribution: it enjoins people to act so as to spread happiness around as equally as possible.

  • the pleasure of the greatest number affected by the consequences of our actions.

  • For example, as what a comedian is doing. They know that it’s their duty to give happiness to many people.

  • kinakalimutan yung legal right at ginagawa yung moral right

  1. Justice and moral Rights- Justice is about living with other people, while morality is about living with yourself. Justice is about right relation to others as measured against the mores of society, while morality is about right relation to right itself, as measured against your own beliefs.

Whether or not justice exists objectively or is entirely a social construct, it has an unmistakable universality.

  • justice as a respect for rights directed toward society's pursuit for the greatest happiness of the greater number. legal law/positive law

-moral rights are a valid claim on society and are justified by utility. divine command law

  • EX. tokhang
  1. Do you agree that even animals have rights?
  • I agree that animals have the right to live a life free of pain and suffering.

  • A healthy ecosystem is made up of all living creatures, and in this ecosystem, everything has its proper place and is treated with the respect it deserves.

  • Since they are voiceless, it is up to us as humans to speak up for them and defend them. This is the basis for the idea of animal rights.

Like us, they also have the rights. Without legally protected rights, people may be hurt and taken advantage of in no way. Animals may suffer, just like people, and they too have emotions and interests, as well as a desire to avoid suffering.

  1. Do you agree with the utilitarians that animals should NOT be used for the development of household products but can be used to experiment in the cure of terminal illnesses?

-Yes I agree, legally, all drugs have to be tested on animals for safety before they can be used in humans.

  • they have the intention to use it in terminal illnesses.

GENDER AND SEXUALITY ACROSS TIME

  1. Patriarchy
  • Patriarchy refers to the male domination both in public and private spheres. Feminists mainly use the term 'patriarchy' to describe the power relationship between men and women.

  • In a system in which men have more power than women, men have some level of privilege to which women are not entitled.

  • For example, Men make all decisions in both society and also in family units. They also hold all positions of power and authority and are considered superior.

  • For example MCI, they show that women in our country have been denied opportunities for growth in the name of religion and socio-cultural practices. Thus, those women have few freedoms even in their homes, hold an unequal and inferior status in society, and are subject to the rule of male heads of household.

  1. Patrilineal society- This is the system of organization in which the clan heritage was based on the father’s line and all children bared the name of the father.
  • A patrilineal society is a society that bases lineage or ancestry off a male line, rather than a female line.

-FOR EX. mas nade-determine yung surname ng lalaki kesa sa babae base through male relatives, : his father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and so on.

  1. Egalitarian - is a philosophy based on equality, namely that all people are equal and deserve equal treatment in all things. As an idea, it can be looked at in terms of its implications for individuals in both an economic and legal capacity.
  • EX,. It does not support the idea that there is "women's work" and "men's work" or gender-specific roles in business and the home. In a society where there is gender egalitarianism in families, parents play equal parts within the family structure. equal lahat kumbaga kung anong kaya gawin ng isang lalaki e kaya din gawin ng babae. (work, household chores)
  1. Suffrage - the right to vote for all adult persons regardless of race, religion, or gender.
  • for ex. including the right to vote, run for public office, work, earn equal pay, own property, receive education, enter contracts, have equal rights within marriage, and maternity leave.
  1. Sexism
  • Sexism is prejudice or discrimination based on a person’s sex or gender. It can lead to a wide range of harmful behaviors, from acts of violence to subtle comments that reinforce stereotypes.

-EX. believing that some victims of sexual assault “ask for it” due to their behavior or clothing

  • using sexist language or insults

-making threatening or aggressive comments based on a person’s gender or sex

  1. Reproductive rights

Reproductive rights include your legal ability to make decisions about when and if you have a child. You might also hear this called reproductive autonomy. It means you have the power of the law to protect you and allow you the right to make your own choices about birth control, pregnancy, and having children.

Abortion, including access to legal, safe procedures to end a pregnancy, is one reproductive right, but there are others. Your reproductive rights include access to:

Sex education, Family planning, Birth control, Reproductive rights matter because they give all people access to safe reproductive health care.

If your rights are restricted, you may not be able to make your own decisions about pregnancy or birth control. This could lead to:

Unwanted pregnancies, often due to rape or incest, Pregnancy complications that could result in the mother’s death, HIV

Reproductive rights advocates work to help pass laws that allow equal access to all of these health care services for people of all genders, races, ethnicities, religious beliefs, income levels, and legal status
