Elijah Levario Anthony Buenning Composition II (23SP.ENGL.1302.W31C) 27 March 2023 Who was the author for Twinkle Twinkle Little Star What were the principal elements that led up to a misconception in the world? I truly believed when I was young that Mozart created this song. Although he was a famous man for composing piano sheets, he did not create all the popular songs you know about in the 1700s era. When understanding songs made by people, we often like to assume the composer of the song

The song starts with her walking home the morning after a party and her mom begins yelling at her for not living her life in a proper, wholesome way, to which Cyndi replies that girls would rather have fun than sit around doing nothing all day. The next stage of the song has Cyndi’s father berating her for receiving calls
“I am good, but not an angel. I do sin, but I am not the devil. I am just a small girl in a big world trying to find someone to love” (Marilyn Monroe). Joyce Carol Oates is the author of the realistic allegory story, “Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?”. The story is about a young girl named Connie, who likes seeking attention from men, as a distraction from her problems at home.

In The Glass Castle, Jeannette overcame the obstacles with her parents, poverty, and getting bullied. First, Jeannette moved to the city because she needed to take matters into her own hands. Jeannette could not handle "[moving] around like [a] [nomad]" (Walls, 19) any longer, so she bought a one way ticket to New York City. Jeannette was relieved that she had a chance to start new and get away from the instability of her past. Not only did Jeannette want to get away from her parents, but her siblings
“You’re not. You mentioned you had skill at washing clothes. Well, as I am sure you can smell, the men are not keen on keeping up with the washing of their clothes and bedding, which means head house and fleas abound. We could use a reliable washerwoman.” “The Knight Commander might let me work? Fer food and shelter in exchange?” “And coin,” added Perceval, though he was not sure if that would actually be the case. Regardless, he’d hand over his own money, if necessary. “But don’t get too excited
In the focus of the concept of self-esteem, which is one of the oldest concepts in the field of psychology due to being first used by William James in 1890. Self-esteem is defined as how worthy one feels, also known as self-worth, with the etymology of the term esteem from the French language estimer and Latin aestimare meaning ‘to estimate’ or ‘appraise’. James described the idea with a focus on the connection between the self-worth and the success of the individual in achieving their expected outcome
1. Utilitarianism Philosopher View (Jeremy Bentham & John Mill) Utilitarianism theory was founded by Jeremy Bentham and then got expanded by John Mill who came up with the 2 types or forms of Utilitarianism which are Act Utilitarianism and Rule Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism says an action is right if it tends to promote happiness, and wrong if it tends to produce the reverse of happiness and doesn’t just involve the happiness of the performer of the action but also that of everyone affected by
Hedonism and the desire-satisfaction theory of welfare are typically seen as archrivals in the contest over identifying what makes one’s life better. It is surprising, then, that the most plausible form of hedonism is desire satisfactionism. The hedonism theory focuses on pleasure/happiness while the desire-satisfaction theory elucidates the relevance of fulfilling our desires. Pleasure, in some points of view is the subjective satisfaction of desire. I will explain the similarities and the differences
Peter Singer is a well-known Australian moral philosopher whose work in applied ethics for example abortion, animal liberation and infanticide has led to controversy. Singer’s willingness to work through the controversial topics made him became so famous around the world. When Singer’s paper about abortion and infanticide was publicised, Singer has proven to be a popular target especially among the pro-life activists. Singer exclaimed that membership of Homo-Sapiens is not sufficient to confer a
Altruism, is defined as ‘a philosophy and social movement which applies evidence and reason to working out the most effective ways to improve the world’ (Singer, 2015). Since for the utilitarian only the best is good enough and hence there is no room for doing less good than you possibly can. If one fails to do what is best in terms of total well-being, one is simply doing it wrong (Bykvist, 2009). In Jacques
Utilitarianism is the theory that we should always try to bring about as much happiness as possible. It is hard to argue against the value of being happy, but critics are quick to point out that we value many other things as well. (Sir Bernard Williams, Rachels, 2010, p. 40) For me, this subject can be quite a tough one, and I will be honest, it is seriously causing me to think. The best way I can think of is this. I think of tv shows like the Walking Dead, and certain movies, where a person is
1. Utilitarianism states that the right action brings about the greatest good over evil (Mill). Similarly, Consequentialism judges the rightness or wrongness of an action based on the action’s consequences. The driving force for Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing rationality. Maximizing rationality states that it is rational to bring about the maximum amount of something when it is good and irrational not to (Mill). Utilitarianism focuses heavily on doing anything possible to bring about a greater
Utilitarianism ethics falls in the under the consequentialism approach which determines an action is wrong or right by its consequences. Utilitarianism is an ethics principle which advocates that actions are either good or bad by the results they produce. If the action brings pleasure to the greatest number of people then it is good, if the result causes pain and grief, it is bad. Therefore, the end justifies the means – if the act will in due course bring happiness and pleasure, “the greater
John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher during the during the 1800s. His main contribution was the idea of utilitarianism. In short utilitarianism is a theory in normative ethics holding that the best moral action is the one that maximizes utility. Utility is defined in various ways, but is usually related to the well-being of sentient existence. One of the main essential parts of utilitarianism is the principle of utility. The principle of utility states that actions or behaviors are right
The year was 1927, and Warner Brothers came out with The Jazz Singer, the first motion picture with a sound track. Film has now officially begun; it took thirty years for film to include sound. And from here on out, it’s only gotten better, and a whole lot better. In the early days of cinema, it was always the ideal plan to combine sound and moving pictures together. Thomas Edison and Eadweard Muybridge were working with this concept since 1889 (Lethem, 2010). Star Wars, Jaws, Grease, all these
Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that insist that the best action is one that generates the most happiness/good. There are two subcategories of utilitarianism, which are act-utilitarianism and rule utilitarianism. Both subcategories of unitarianism theory has led to many debates over its effectiveness in our modern society due to many believing it has too many flaws. Supporters of both utilitarianism views believes that it gives a clear and easy to understand guideline and helps with making tough
Rethinking Principle of Utility What is the guideline of your behavior and what does pleasure means to you? In Bentham’s book An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, he gives a detailed explanation of principle of utility, a series of principles of behaviors. He thinks it is pleasure and pain that determine what human beings should do, and the motivation of humans’ behaviors can be attributed to the pursuit of happiness or the evasion of pain. Besides, he states that a good action
In this paper, I will refute Jeremy Bentham’s principle of utility by showing that it overshadows the importance of the courses of action taken when making decisions. Bentham discusses, in “ Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation”, the principle of utility which says that, “By the principle of utility is meant that principle which approves or disapproves of every action whatsoever, according to the tendency which it appears to have to augment or diminish the happiness of the party
