Utilitarianism is a form of consequentialism created by Jeremy Bentham and expanded by John Stuart Mill (Driver,1). It is defined as an intuitive point of view which focus on the result of an ethical decision causing pleasure or pain. (CITE PROFESSOR). If an action results in the greatest amount of pleasure, for the individual or the society, then it was right. If it results in the greatest amount of pain then it wasn't wrong/bad. Pleasure is measured in “utils”. Utilitarianism however does not support

The reading I chose is Animal Liberation, by Peter Singer. Peter Singer argues against animals cruelty, discrimination, and animals equal rights. Singer uses philosophy to teach and educate others on his point of view. Singer points out that animals have rights too and supports animals just like he does with Black Liberation, Gay Liberation, and Women Liberation.

The other reply that may help utilitarianism avoid injustice in some cases is the ‘Secondary principles’ reply

This paper will object to Sidgwick’s axiom that from the point of view of the universe, the good of one is no more important than the good of another on the ground that it is analytic. I present the purpose and content of the axiom with a further explanation of what I take ‘the point of view of the universe’ to mean. I then consider the response of the Egoist to the axiom and Sidgwick’s counter-response to illustrate the tautology of the argument. The tautology of the argument brings it in line with

two silent-film actors, a pianist, and a chorus girl, tackling the transition from silent films to talking films in 1920’s Hollywood. With talking films on the rise, this group must conjure up a way to save their latest silent film before The Jazz Singer and “talkies” take over and shut them down. This movie is one of the most beloved, classic films of all time.
