Value Of Weighting Options

Decent Essays
Weighing options before you decide something is very useful. Like many things it has its values and its challenges. A value is is that you have more of a probability of choosing the right decision than not carefully thinking about your situation. A challenge is that if you choose the wrong thing then it could affect your life in many different ways.
A value that weighing options has is that you could have a better chance at choosing the right decision. For example, if you have the choice to go to a party or stay at home then you should think about the effects that both choices could have on your life. If you go to the party, you could endanger your life and/or somebody else’s. If you don’t go to the party then you could endanger your social

    Humans decisions are in the hands of each own. Their opportunity to make use of each decision expresses our free will. In life, humans determine whether their freedom of making their decision is too extreme, and if they should make that decision or not. Sometimes that pushes us to our limit and forces us to do things we are not usually accustomed to doing. While we express the opportunity to showcase free will, there are limits that can stop the idea of it, for example laws.…

    Both Protagoras and Republic IV explore the nature of desire and its relation to reason and will, and whether or not desire can overcome the will. Both have similarities to each other, however, their conclusions are distinctly different: In Protagoras, Socrates argues that akrasia is impossible, as a man making a bad choice stems from ignorance rather than weakness, while Republic IV presented a different conception, in which our appetites can lead us to make bad decisions if these appetites are not ruled by reason and spirit, implying that we can, in fact, be overcome by pleasure, and thus be akratic I find this idea to be more compelling, as I believe it appeals more to actual human behavior, and the possibility for a weak will that comes…

    1) The word impact is very ambiguous here because it doesn't mention to what extent the impact has to be, does the impact have to be life changing for a person, or can it be an impact so small that the other person doesn’t even know that their freedom is being impeached. For this I will look at the example of a man that lives by himself with no people living close to him and no responsibilities he also lives within Canada with all of our laws. His freedom to stay at him has no direct impact on anybodies else's freedoms because this action doesn't involve anybody else so how could it directly impact them. You could try and take the counterexample that staying at home impacts another person's freedom to sit in that first man’s house by himself.…

    Utilitarianism is considered as one of the most prominent philosophical concepts. This model's core perspective emphasizes that actions are ethically acceptable or unacceptable depending on their consequences. Based on this understanding, it can be argued that utilitarians hold that the goal of morality is to improve life by enhancing some favorable things such as happiness in the world while minimizing undesirable aspects such as grief (Urmson, 33). Consequently, the core objective of this essay is to define and critique both Act and Rule Utilitarianism, as well as determine the most practical kind of utilitarianism.…
