Doing this paper will discuss its conceptual basis, its typical educational objectives, strategies for change and criticism of the approach.

The desire satisfaction theory (DST) describes that the good life is one where desires are satisfied. I agree that the desire satisfaction theory provides for a good life because I believe that the good life can only be determined from within, ultimately suggesting my strong agreement with Taylor’s view of the DST, and its ability to provide long-term satisfaction. While critics attempt to expose the ambiguity of DST, I believe their efforts actually strengthen the value of DST by showing how essential

The utilitarianism is common approach to make ethical decisions. The main point of this approach is that you have to make that decision which comes with the most utility.

This essay will reject the utilitarian claim as to always act as to maximize utility. In order to exhibit why this claim fails, this argument will be based on the most refined description of utility, namely, preference satisfaction utilitarianism, an action which is right, because it produces the most of what is intrinsically valuable, which is more than just the ultimate consequence of pleasure as suggested by the hedonistic utilitarian but instead, is the maximization of individual human preferences

In its simplest form, consequentialism requires that one maximizes the overall well being of any situation whenever possible. Consequentialism also promotes impartiality and moral flexibility. In other words, consequentialism treats everyone as equals and allows for more wiggle room when it comes to breaking certain moral rules as long as the means justify the ends. Although there is no exact way to calculate the overall well being, John Stuart Mill suggested that we focus on “the greatest good for

Utilitarianism focuses on maximizing overall happiness. As a result, utilitarians may use people as mere means in order to achieve maximum overall happiness. This could also be interpreted as if the sacrifice of a few leads to the happiness of many, then it shall be done. Onora O’Neill strongly disagrees with this line of thinking.
