User: The idea that best consequences should always be chosen reflects the ____________________, which guided Bentham’s work in Utilitarianism

Question 1Answer

a.
Principle of Reality



b.
Retributive punishment Principle



c.
Principle of Utility



d.
Classic Principle
Assistant: c. Principle of Utility

The idea that the best consequences should always be chosen reflects the Principle of Utility, which guided Jeremy Bentham’s work in Utilitarianism. This principle suggests that actions or policies should be evaluated based on their capacity to produce the greatest happiness or benefit for the greatest number of people.
User: The Utilitarian argues that:


Question 2Answer

a.
Both human and non-human animals feel pain, so both must be considered equally.


b.
Both human and non-human animals feel pain, but only humans express it so we must only consider human happiness.


c.
Non-human animals are dependent on humans, so we must only consider humans’ happiness.
Assistant: a. Both human and non-human animals feel pain, so both must be considered equally.

Utilitarianism, particularly as argued by philosophers like Jeremy Bentham, posits that the ability to experience pain and pleasure should be the basis for moral consideration. Therefore, if both human and non-human animals can feel pain, their interests should be given equal consideration in evaluating the morality of actions.
User: According to Bentham and the utilitarians:

Question 3Answer

a.
Only humans should be considered because only humans can think and reason.


b.
Humans and non-human animals must both be considered when making moral decisions.


c.
Only humans can truly experience happiness, so only ours must count.


d.
human and non-human animals are important, but only humans can feel pain.
Assistant: b. Humans and non-human animals must both be considered when making moral decisions.

According to Bentham and other utilitarians, moral decisions should take into account the capacity to experience pain and pleasure. Since both humans and non-human animals have this capacity, they must both be considered when making moral decisions, reflecting the principle of utility that seeks to maximize happiness and minimize suffering.
User: On Monday, you promise your mom to clean the house Friday night.  But as you get started on Friday night, your friend calls and says “best party ever!!! Come over”.  Now, all your friends and you will be happy if you go.  Only your mom will unhappy if you go. The problem here is:


Question 4Answer

a.
Utilitarianism allows this, and allows ignoring the past.


b.
Utilitarianism allows this, since it is fair to make the decision maker happy.


c.
These are all problems with the theory.


d.
Utilitarianism does not allow this because promises matter.
Assistant: a. Utilitarianism allows this, and allows ignoring the past.

In classical utilitarianism, the focus is on maximizing overall happiness or utility in the present and future, not necessarily honoring commitments made in the past. This means that if going to the party results in greater overall happiness compared to cleaning the house, a strict utilitarian could argue that it's permissible to break the promise to your mom, although this could be seen as a flaw or ethical concern within the theory.
User: In act utilitarianism, things like lying and steal are sometimes acceptable.  Why is this a problem?


Question 5Answer

a.
If we allow these, then we can’t have trust in society and it might even lead to harm against other people.



b.
If we allow these sometimes, we won’t know when it is moral to do or immoral to do.


c.
It’s a problem because that isn’t the principle that utilitarianism is built on.



d.
All of the above are reasons why it is a problem
Assistant: d. All of the above are reasons why it is a problem

In act utilitarianism, actions like lying and stealing can sometimes be justified if they maximize overall happiness or utility. However, this can be problematic for several reasons: it can undermine trust in society and potentially lead to harm; it creates uncertainty about when such actions are considered moral or immoral; and it can seem to contradict the foundational principles and intuitions about fairness and justice. All these reasons highlight the complexities and potential ethical issues associated with this approach.
User: The boss has four (4) vacant posts.  He schedules interviews with ten (10) people and four (4) are related to him.  Which of the below is correct using Act Utilitarianism?


Question 6Answer

a.
He knows hiring based only on family relationship is wrong generally, so he does not hire only based on that for any of the vacancies.



b.
He decides to ask someone else to decide for him.



c.
He knows that hiring based on family is sometimes ok, so for each post, he calculates the happiness if he hires based on family relationship.
Assistant: c. He knows that hiring based on family is sometimes ok, so for each post, he calculates the happiness if he hires based on family relationship.

In act utilitarianism, decisions are made by evaluating the consequences of each individual action to determine which action will produce the greatest overall happiness or utility. Thus, the boss would consider the potential benefits and harms of hiring each candidate, including the family members, and decide based on which choice maximizes overall happiness for everyone affected by the decision.
User: An example of Act Utilitarianism is:


Question 7Answer

a.
Jax decided it was ok to steal money from his parents grocery fund, but then had to decide if he wanted to steal from the store too.



b.
Nelson decided to tell the truth even though he lost a vacation prize – he usually tells the truth.



c.
Johnny didn’t hurt the innocent dog, he doesn’t even eats beef because hurting animals is generally wrong.
Assistant: a. Jax decided it was ok to steal money from his parents' grocery fund, but then had to decide if he wanted to steal from the store too.

Act utilitarianism evaluates the morality of each action based on its individual consequences rather than following a fixed rule or general principle. Jax's decision involves assessing the consequences of stealing from his parents to determine if it maximizes overall happiness, illustrating how act utilitarianism can justify actions based on specific circumstances.
User: ______________ Utilitarianism would sometimes allow lying or cheating.  But this means society has no trust, or we might even violate the rights of innocent people. So ______________ Utilitarianism was introduced.


Question 8Answer

a.
Act; Classic


b.
Act; Rule


c.
Rule, Act 


d.
Classic; Act
Assistant: b. Act; Rule

Act utilitarianism evaluates each action based on its specific consequences, which can sometimes justify lying or cheating if those actions are thought to maximize happiness. However, this can lead to societal distrust and potential rights violations. As a response, rule utilitarianism was introduced to focus on adherence to rules that generally lead to the greatest good, thereby providing a more stable and predictable moral framework.
User: Which of the following is true of the first formulation of the Categorical Imperative?


Question 9Answer

a.
The maxim is the outcome of the action.



b.
The maxim is the reason for the action.


c.
The maxim is an allowed exception to the moral rule.



d.
The maxim refers to the moral rule that becomes universal.
Assistant: b. The maxim is the reason for the action.

In the first formulation of Kant's Categorical Imperative, the maxim refers to the reason or principle behind an action, which should be such that it can be universally applied as a moral law. Kant's ethical framework emphasizes that one's actions should be guided by principles that could consistently and rationally be willed as a universal law.
User: Which of the following is NOT an example of a hypothetical imperative?


Question 10Answer

a.
Staying up late to finish your homework so you don’t lose points.



b.
Being honest because it’s the morally right thing.


c.
Telling the truth because you want to avoid harsher punishment.


d.
Helping your friend with his work so that he feels better to hang out with you.
Assistant: b. Being honest because it’s the morally right thing.

A hypothetical imperative is conditional and dependent on a desired outcome or goal, such as staying up late to finish homework to avoid losing points or telling the truth to avoid harsher punishment. In contrast, being honest because it is the morally right thing is an example of a categorical imperative, which is unconditional and based on duty rather than personal goals or consequences.
User: For Kant, which of the following is permissible under the Categorical Imperative?


Question 11Answer

a.
Asking your friend for a loan, with the false promise to pay it back.


b.
Stealing money from a friend, but not a stranger.



c.
Asking your friend for a loan, telling them you won't pay them back.



d.
Stealing money for a friend to pay a medical bill to save your child's life.
Assistant: c. Asking your friend for a loan, telling them you won't pay them back.

For Kant, actions are permissible under the Categorical Imperative if they can be universalized without contradiction and are done with honesty and integrity. In this scenario, being truthful about your intentions when asking for a loan aligns with Kant’s emphasis on honesty. Even though the action may not lead to obtaining the loan, it respects the moral law of being truthful and treating others with respect.
User: In the first formulation of the Categorical Imperative, Kant says we can’t choose actions that are self-defeating. Which of the following is NOT an example of a self-defeating act?


Question 12Answer

a.
A pregnant lady asking the hospital to treat her, even though she can't pay the bill.


b.
A pregnant lady tricking her friend into giving her money to pay a hospital bill.


c.
A pregnant, unmarried young lady lying to her parents so that they do not disown her.
Assistant: a. A pregnant lady asking the hospital to treat her, even though she can't pay the bill.

This scenario is not necessarily self-defeating in the context of Kant's first formulation of the Categorical Imperative. Asking for help or treatment does not inherently involve a contradiction or undermine the principle of seeking assistance. In contrast, lying or deception, as in the other options, involves actions that would be self-defeating if universalized, as they undermine trust and honesty.

According to Kant, the reason a human cannot be treated as a means is because_____________:

Question 15Answer

a.
We can't reason.


b.
Consequences are more important.

c.
We have human dignity
Assistant: **Question 13:**  
c. We all have reason and can think rationally.  

Kant believed that all rational beings possess the ability to reason, which allows them to discern and apply the Categorical Imperative. This capacity for rationality guides individuals to act according to universal moral principles, regardless of personal desires or inclinations.

---

**Question 14:**  
b. A categorical imperative is not dependent on wants, it is a duty.  

Kant's categorical imperative is an absolute moral law that must be followed unconditionally, independent of personal desires or goals. It is based on duty and the universality of moral principles, rather than the specific outcomes of actions.

---

**Question 15:**  
c. We have human dignity.  

Kant argues that humans should not be treated merely as means to an end because they possess intrinsic worth and dignity. This inherent dignity is grounded in their capacity for rationality and moral decision-making, necessitating respect and ethical treatment of individuals.

b.
The theory doesn't provide clarity as to which of the two possible actions makes an absolute moral law


c.
If the smugglers kept the absolute moral law of telling the truth, it directly causes them to break a second moral law.  

Clear my choice
Assistant: **Question 16:**  
b. Sentencing a man who steals a week’s worth of groceries to a short period of jail time OR a fine equal to the amount stolen.  

This option aligns with the principles of retributive punishment, which focus on proportionality. The punishment should fit the crime and be appropriate to the severity of the offense. A short jail time or a fine equivalent to the stolen amount is proportional to the act of stealing a week's worth of groceries.

---

**Question 17:**  
a. ii, iii  

According to Kant, retributive punishment requires that a crime must have been committed (ii) and that the punishment should be proportional to the crime (iii). These guidelines ensure that justice is fairly administered based on the nature and severity of the offense.

---

**Question 18:**  
d. Myke used his best friend as an ends.  

According to the second formulation of the Categorical Imperative, individuals should treat others as ends in themselves and not merely as means to their own ends. Here, Myke’s situation, and his friend’s willingness to help, suggests that Myke is being supported as an end in himself rather than being used merely as a means.

---

**Question 19:**  
c. Shandy is using Danisha as a means.  

If Shandy lies to Danisha to get the answers, she is treating Danisha merely as a means to achieve her own goal (getting the answers), rather than respecting her as an end in herself, which violates the second formulation of the Categorical Imperative.

---

**Question 20:**  
a. If they honor the two absolute moral laws, then they will be forced to break the other law.  

Kant's theory can lead to moral dilemmas, such as the case of the Jewish refugees, where adhering strictly to absolute moral laws, such as always telling the truth, could necessitate breaking another moral law, such as not causing harm to others. This situation highlights potential conflicts between absolute duties in Kantian ethics.
User: In the consequentialist view of Utilitarians an action can be good or bad on its own, not because of consequences.  

Question 21Select one:
True
False
Assistant: False

In the consequentialist view of utilitarianism, the moral value of an action is entirely dependent on its consequences. An action is considered good if it results in the greatest amount of happiness or pleasure for the greatest number of people and bad if it leads to unhappiness or harm. Therefore, actions are not inherently good or bad, but are judged based on the outcomes they produce.
User: Utilitarianism arose when Bentham wanted to create legislative changes to help as many people in society, not only to help a select few.

Question 22Select one:
True
False
Assistant: True

Utilitarianism arose in part from Jeremy Bentham's desire to create legislative and social reforms that would benefit the greatest number of people, rather than just a privileged few. Bentham's focus was on maximizing overall happiness and utility within society, which he saw as a more equitable and just approach to governance and morality.
User: Telling the truth because you want to be viewed as honest is the same as telling the truth as a moral duty.

Question 23Select one:
True
False
Assistant: False

Telling the truth because you want to be viewed as honest is motivated by personal interest and the desire for a particular outcome (being perceived positively), which aligns more with a consequentialist or self-interested perspective.
