Utilitarianism

  Consider the ethical theories we’ve discussed in class across the semester. Choose one that you believe is a representative model for yourself. It can be a blend of a few theories (be specific) or one that fully embodies how you would like to frame your own ethical decisions. Consider the following within your paper: Name of the theory(s) Early adopters/shapers of the theory Principles or rules associated with that theory Modern updates to that theory The challenges of it Why you chose it, how you will apply it to your own life and how will you overcome the challenges associated with it. Examples: Utilitarianism Deontological Ethics Virtue-Based Ethics Egoism Relativism Absolutism
