Introduction Ross is of the view that people do not undertake tasks because they are aware of the consequences of their actions; rather, the decision to undertake such tasks is propelled by a promise that they have made to themselves. Proponents of this theory suggest that a right or wrong act is obvious to us since the ability to distinguish right or wrong is innate. It is impossible for human beings to fully understand why a given act is right but they can distinguish between good and evil. Moral senses are in born hence they are not modified by the environment. This theory contradicts with the relativism theory which argues that moral senses are not inborn; rather, the environment shapes human beings. Since utilitarianism suggests that the moral value of an act is recognized by its benefits, Ross argues that it is through this that human beings prefer actions that bring them satisfaction (Ross and Stratton-Lake, 2-6). Strengths of Utilitarianism Utilitarianism holds a logic position that makes it applicable to daily life. It dictates the modern day society since its principles are applicable. Utilitarians attempted to come up with a way of settling for an objective way of improving the welfare of the people by equipping them with the necessary skills needed to distinguish things that are of benefit from those that are not. This theory is sometimes referred to as “the supreme happiness theory”. It provides an empirical method of calculating happiness. Goodness has the purpose of making one to feel satisfied. Once a person feels happy with the act undertaken, then we can comfortably conclude that the act is good. If little or no satisfaction is attained; we conclude that the action is not good. The theory therefore provides us with a measurable way to determine whether a given act is good or bad. The theory can also be used to establish the extent or the degree of goodness; this can be exemplified by making use of words such as satisfied, very satisfied, or not satisfied. This theory observes benevolence as it seeks to endorse the idea of people’s happiness and that of the society. Something is regarded as good if it maximizes happiness. The theory emphasizes on the importance of undertaking actions that have a promise of bringing happiness of the greatest degree (Mill, 23). Although people are never sure of the consequences of an act, they should weigh their options and settle for those things that are likely to make them feel that they are high achievers. It is the good things in life that motivate people to continue undertaking tasks as well as taking risks. The theory considers the outcomes of an action and luckily most people judge the usability of an action by looking at the end result. Thus this theory can be used since its basic principles can be applied in the society. Proponents of the motivation theory suggest that when we are reinforced after undertaking an act, then we get the psyche to undertake more actions since we become hopeful of being reinforced again. If we fail to attain good results, we may become discouraged since we do not feel happy. This is the same case with this theory; good outcomes signify that something is good
