Ethical_Judgments

Ethical Judgments Over the years ethical judgments have been justified by numerous mediums. A few of the more popular foundations are consequences, religion, and feelings, just to name a few. Each of these has strong points as well as weak ones. One acceptable one basis of ethical judgments is the consequences of our actions. Some would argue that it is possible to make an ethical decision by examining the different possible results that will occur from different courses of action. The “right” choice in a decision like this would be one that benefits the greatest number of people to the biggest magnitude. The idea behind this is that we can understand good and bad through states of pleasure and pain. A good act will produce more net pleasure than pain on the other hand a bad act will cause more net pain. This view is an attempt to preserve the meaningfulness of ethics by keeping it objectionable. Problems arise when we must mix pleasure and pain. In this model we must assume that pleasure and pain are both measurable, also that every aspect of the decision is taken into account.
