While men have the higher ground of work tenure there should be equal pay for women with the same qualifications; I will argue concerns with gender pay while using the utilitarian theory, deontological theory and the objection of moral reasoning to prove the ethical theory. Luckily for women, the American Women’s rights progressed tremendously since the late 1800’s, and the turning point for females was The Equal Pay Act in 1963. Women

Andrew Sponsler 11/4/15 Ethics Considering Ethical Dilemmas through Utilitarianism and Deontology Kant’s theory of deontology and Mill’s theory of utilitarianism provide starkly different approaches to assigning moral value to ethical dilemmas, two modern dilemmas being commercial surrogacy and physician-assisted suicide. This essay will expound upon the process of deciding moral value within each ethical theory and then apply this decision process to the two ethical dilemmas. Arguments will be

Under the deontological perspective, Kant created the idea of the categorical imperative. This is a law that every human has a duty to submit. Kant’s first formulation of the categorical imperative states, “Act only on that maxim whereby thou canst at the same time will that it should become a universal law.” Kant believed that all moral duties can be reasoned from this formulation.

One example of contrast he used in the book is the idea of utilitarian. Utilitarian can be express in the prospect of consequentialist ethics, because it will look at individual situation and create a decision that will benefit the greater people.

However, many people argue this theory. In his essay “The Secret Joke of Kant’s Soul”, Joshua Green, a professor of Psychology at Harvard University, argues the following against deontology: I will argue that deontological judgments tend to be driven by emotional responses, and that deontological philosophy, rather than being grounded in moral reasoning, is to a large extent3 an exercise in moral rationalization. This is in contrast to consequentialism, which, I will argue, arises from rather different

I. Introduction. Philosophy plays an important role not only in modern society, but also in society as a whole. As we know philosophy can be represented as the science of contrast of different views and thoughts. Philosophers present their point of view, concerning for example, ethics, life, world outlook, and the rest of society and must choose the most suitable idea.

The prevalence given to pleasure in moral philosophy is an area shrouded by debate. Fundamentally the argument becomes one of utilitarianism opposed by deontological ethics. Other theories such as egoism and virtue ethics provide examples of how one should live a moral life which, depending on the defined notion of pleasure, could have the value prescribed to their theoretical guides for how to lead the moral life.

A Defense of Utilitarian Ethics Introduction There are many different ways in which ethical decisions can be made many perspectives, criteria, and principles that can be considered to come to a variety of conclusions, and sometimes directly opposing decisions. While almost any rational consistent ethical system is likely to conclude that it is wrong to kill someone simply because you don't like them, but is it ethically acceptable to kill someone who is threatening your life?
