2. A study of three ethical theories 2.1 Utilitarianism a) Concepts of utility, pleasure, hedonism and happiness, influences on the emergence of the theory, including social, political and cultural influences, the significant contribution of Bentham and Mill to a recognised theory. Act and Rule Utilitarianism, the development of the theory, including Preference, Negative and Ideal Utilitarianism, the application of the theory in historical and contemporary ethical situations, including political and social reform, the concept of relativism in ethics. b) Strengths and weaknesses of the theory and its developments, appropriateness of its continuing application and use, assessment of relevant examples, change in the law and social attitudes vis a vis the theory, compatibility or otherwise with religious approaches. With reference to the ideas of J Bentham and J S Mill. This topic, including the ideas of Jeremy Bentham and J S Mill is covered well in a number of Ethics textbooks and anthologies. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/utilitarianism-history/ http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mill/ RE http://www.utilitarianism.com/mill1.htm/ http://www.utilitarianism.com/jsmill.htm Clarify the notions of utility, pleasure, hedonism and happiness. • Explore the significant contribution of Bentham and Mill. • Explore the development of the theory, including Preference, Negative and Ideal Utilitarianism, the application of the theory in historical and contemporary ethical situations, including political and social reform. • Analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the theory and its developments, appropriateness of its continuing application and use. • Evaluate the success of this type of ethical theory. AIM/LO: Clarify the approach to moral decision making in this theory Define key terms and add to glossary. (Act) AIM/LO: Explore Bentham’s or Mill’s form of Utilitarianism. Discuss and note key concepts and stages of Bentham’s or Mill’s approach. (Act) AIM/LO: Analyse the challenges posed to the theory Debate the idea that Utilitarianism is inherently flawed. (Act) AIM/LO: Evaluate the success of Utilitarianism Timed essay response. (A) On completion, and in revision, draw similarities between this and other ethical theories and identify links with other components of study in order to build a portfolio of connections. (E) If you are interested in studying business studies at A-level or having a career in business then I highly recommend that you complete the Seneca course in order to ensure that you have had a recap on the foundation of the subject before you take your next steps.
