There is no possibility of a human action without moral consequence

I will argue that there is no possibility for human action without moral consequence because it all go back to the relation of an act=an actor=a consequence. Now, we may be able to guarantee a consequence but we have the capacity to predict/foresee what the consequence of our action will be. To emphasize this point I will use Bentham's reading about the Principle of Utility. In his essay he states that what we are control by two maters those two masters are pain and pleasure based on those two masters that will lead to actions we perform causes and effects. So the origin of all our action is based on those two feelings and nothing else otherwise why else would we do things or should I say how else can we perform our actions if not based on emothions or interest for what we desire/want and so on. 1. We are governed by two emotions(128.1) 2. Action are approved or disapproved based on person's happiness target (128.3) 3. When we perform an act we look to satisfy our happiness/desire (128.3) 4. Therefore, we think about the consequence of our action to see if they will increase or decrease our happiness (128.3-4) Bentham writes about the principle of utility and give a relationship scale that is called the hedonistic calculus. The hedonistic calculus represent a person whose life is devoted to pursue pleasure and self gratification. So again we do act in a way to seek a consequence do what we are looking to satisfy our emotions. The chart establishes seven stages that a person will go through or/and consider if some then not all but still the person will consider those stages in order to reach their ultimate pleasure or pain. The chart goes in such order: 1- The intensity that one will experience,how intense will their action be 2- how does the pleasure or the pain will last 3- the certaintity meaning how certain will the pleasure or pain will occur 4- the remoteness of this pleasure or pain how far in the future is the pleasure or pain 5- the fecundity what is the certainty that this pleasure will lead to other desire pleasures 6- the purity meaning what is the probability that this pain will lead to other pain and lastly 7- the extent how many person will be affected by this pleasure. So, based on this chart above by author Bentham if all our actions have a moral consequence whether we conciously know about it or unconciously do not know about it. Once an action take place a consequence will follow the question of right and wrong at this point is incorporated in the person's moral assessment either consciously or not but regardless that person will go through one or all if not some of the stages that Bentham explain in his essay. So therefore all human action have moral consequences. To further explain this concept Bentham goes in the motives part of our action that lead to consequences that can be either right or wrong nonetheless they have moral consequences to them. The interest of the person is what will lead the consequence to be either right or wrong but morality will be considered eventhough the person may not realize it. The first goal in human action is to satisy their own feelings and interest nothing else. As an example that we discussed in class taking the case of abortion if a woman chooses to have an abortion whether she knows it or not she already made that an assessment of what will be the moral consequence whether right or wrong is not the question what is to be considered is that she already assess that ultimately there is a consequence to her action and that whether it is to happen right away or in the future once she perform that action of either keeping the baby or aborting the baby she morally made a decision that will lead to a consequence in the present or future whether she knows it or not at this time is not important what is important is that she performed that action and that is all. No longer can she take it back and reneg since she already performed it. Another example that we discussed in class is that of a case relating to murder unlawful taking of another person life. A murderer will definitely go through Bentham stages of the hedonistic calculus whether that murderer knows it or not is not important what is important is that that murderer performed an action that is murder and then to that action there is a consequence. In the mind of a murder that consequence may be morally right but whether he/she thinks it is right or wrong is not our concern what we need to be concerned about is that that murderer the minute they took someone life made a moral decision to take someone's life to him/her at this time and place it was morally right to take someone's life but in no way shape and form did they perform the act of murder and did not consider their feelings and how to best satisfy their emotions because they did by murdering this person they satisfied their happiness/interest and whether it is right or wrong is not the concern the act itself
