1. Like others, I would pull the switch to divert the trolley to save five people. Not that the one man deserves to die to save the other five, but rather because with the situation at hand saving five is reasonable than saving one. That being said, I think it is morally permissible to divert the trolley to lose one life and gain five lives. The Footbridge Dilemma seems to be complicated than the Switch Dilemma in that you have to consciously kill one person who was not in the picture, to save the six people on the track. Saving six lives sounds great. The problem here is the manner in which they were saved. What if I was that fat man, would I want to be thrown down onto the tracks? The
The Gladiator Bridge is support by both Chambers of Commerce for Compinwood and Eaganville. The two goals of the both Chambers is to promote business in the city. The Gladiator Bridge is a great example of a perfect solution for daily commuters to travel between the two cities. With four lanes going in each direction, it will improve the overall congestion on the SR A. Commercial businesses that line both sides of the route in Eaganville and Compinwood will likely see a growth in revenues. Both Chamber of Commerce for Compinwood and Eaganville are in favor of projects that do not disrupt current or future business and will benefit business in the future. These two Chambers will work together as along as sales are improving and goods are expanding.
The Trolley Dilemma is a scenario where a train heading straight toward five men working on the tracks, have no idea the train is heading toward them, and nowhere to go. It would appear that death is inevitable. On another track, there is another worker all working alone. He too has no idea the train is coming. You are standing next to the lever that can switch the tracks. What would you do? Would you do nothing, resulting in killing five people, who might not know what hit them, or do you pull the lever, diverting the train, killing only one which allows the five to survive?
It is said that “love is worth more than the pain you will go through”, but will this pain lead you to death? Many marriages consist of two partners loving each other and being faithful to each other, however, sometimes a partner will have an affair with another individual which may lead to potential future consequences. The story “The Drawbridge” is about a disobedient Baroness that goes to see her lover with events that ultimately lead to her death. When analyzing the story, the person most guilty for the death of the Baroness is the Baroness’ lover because he had an affair with a married woman, limited their relationship to only a “romantic one”, and did not help the Baroness against the madman.
In the play ‘ A View From The Bridge” The protagonist Eddie, an Italian immigrant, seems to have complex relationship with who seems to be his wife’s orphaned niece Catherine throughout the whole play.

In the midst of corruption sits a Great Bridge towering over the landscape as millions of people commute over it, clueless of how deep the crime beneath it runs. In the midst of immigrants sits a bridge that connects one economic powerhouse to another with the ideas and dreams of a German-born immigrant that never got to see his dream completed. In the midst of the mighty East River stands the East River Bridge as a towering monument of mans' ability to make even nature bend toward its iron-like will. In the midst of all this stands the Brooklyn Bridge in all of its glory as the pinnacle of industrial and engineering mastery of that time period and as a testament to the lives of the people that lived through a time of intense corruption, new
The author wrote about Eddie who has been having it rough lately. He tried to make the best out of his situation living under the circumstances that he does. His family keeps pressuring into avenging his cousin's death. But he still manages to keep his head held high although it seemed like the entire world was against him. He avoids getting into trouble or doing drugs because he knows that he wants a good future and doing those things would not help. He keeps his head down and works for his dollar no matter how hard it can get for him.
Now, answer the following question: Immediately after the switch breaks (rendering it inoperable), and before the trolley has passed, ought Smith throw the switch? Explain your response. Has Smith done anything wrong?
I cannot say whether Smith has done wrong, OR. I said this because she thought only of saving his "utilitarian" friend. I think everyone would choose to save their loved ones. But also wrong that Smith knew that the switch was pretty weak, so she forcefully throws the switch, Causing it to break. As a result five people were killed. Perhaps, Smith acted a little
Another of the orphans would grow up to become G.E.M. Anscombe, while a third would invent the pop-top can. If the brain in the vat chooses the left side of the track, the trolley will definitely hit and kill a railmano n the left side of the track, "Leftie", and will hit and destroy ten beating hearts on the track that could (and would) have been transplanted into ten patients in the local hospital that will die without donor hearts. These are the only hearts available, and the brain is aware of this, for the brain knows hearts. If the railman on the left side of the track lives, he too will kill five men, in fact the same five that the railmano n the right would kill. However, "Leftie" will kill the five as an unintended consequence of saving ten men: he will inadvertently kill the five men rushing the ten hearts to the local hospital for trans-
The bridge we have created is ethical in the sense that it has a dependable purpose relative to its location, and its uses. By implementing a floating bridge, in a non-linear terrain in the city of Champong Chnnang it allows for effective, and efficient commute between two villages. This idea allows for the saving of time and money, by not implementing a less efficient method of transportation and trade between the two villages. THIS ISN’T GOOD ENOUGH, LET EDWARD ADD SHIT TO THIS TOO.
The Trolley Problem is a scenario possessing two similar versions that begs the question of whether or not it is ethical to kill a person in order to save five. In both versions of this problem, there is a trolley approaching a track with people tied down. In the first version there are two tracks; the first with five people tied down and the other with one person tied down, as the train is approaching the five people. Beside the track there is a switch
In the alternative scenario involving the Bystander at the Switch, the actor in question is not the driver but a person who has the ability to pull the lever that will divert the trolley towards one workman, versus the five workmen that will be killed if no action is taken. The dilemma is only slightly different from the original involving the onus on the driver. Either way points to the fundamental ethic of killing one to save five, and whether to do so would be the ethical choice. The difference
