Tom Regan Argumentative Essay

Utilitarianism, otherwise known as consequentialism, is an ethical framework that considers actions morally correct or right is their outcomes or consequences: A person’s actions are considered moral if the outcome brings out the greatest and most amount of good. Even if a person has good intentions to conduct the action, a utilitarian would not consider this morally significant if the consequences are not positive. Something is “good” if it fulfills an entities base desires but their pleasures are also part of the equation; utilitarianism can become quite complicated when one must consider all the desires of everyone affected, equally considering each one individually. The Animal welfare philosopher Peter Singer, has several ideas regrading

By holding sentience and self-consciousness as key to determining moral status, we are left with a 'moral continuum', upon which there will be cases where some non-human animals will require equal moral status with some humans, and certain circumstances in which they will be deserving of even greater moral status than some humans. I will argue for this continuum view, where species membership is not the factor deciding an animal's moral status, and which removes any moralistic dividing line between humans and non-human

In "Mike Rowe: Learning from Dirty Jobs." The speaker, Mike Rowe, is the host of a television series that looks into the lives of Americans who are said to have undesirable jobs. He begins the speech with a narrative about his experience in the Rocky Mountains, and how he was supposed to castrate a lamb. He continues by describing the scenario, and how he expected the process to be done as according to the humane society. However, the farmer who Mike is learning from has a completely different method than what he was expecting.

In the morning, Polyphemus moves the stone from the door so that his sheep can go out yet feels the sheep as they do, to verify each animal that goes out is four-legged and wooly instead of two-legged and bald. Then again, Odysseus and the rest of his men are hanging upside down under the sheep, and they get away from that way. At that point, pretty much as they are cruising without end, Odysseus has the awful judgment to call, "If

Migration affects countries and the world by the individual who migrate effect on the environment/ society around them. Rushdie’s ideas on migration come from a cultural background, one different from Sanders when it came to the need for migration in one’s life. It is through the use of Irony, Tone, and Symbolism, that Sanders develops his perspective about migration compared to Rushdie’s. Sanders use of Irony is shown when he exclaims that migration has a vicious effect on the world through his hemispheres perspective on its effects on earth and its environment (44-47). The Irony is that America has been, and continues to, use the earth harshly and abuse animals, environments and countries through its overuse of resources.

By this way, humans are getting a benefit for their health even though on the other side the animals are still suffering. In the positive side of animal experiment: animals are also used to check how their intelligences or behaviour works within the different species.

Cohen argues that if we follow the basic principle of equality, we have to assume the following consequences: (1) both humans and animals don’t have rights, (2) animals have the same rights as humans do. Cohen right out states that these two consequences are utterly absurd and therefore the basic principle of equality is false thereby making Singer’s argument unsound. Cohen’s objection [partly] relies on Immanuel Kant’s idea that in order to be able to possess rights, a being must have the moral ability to do i.e. be able to use the right(s) to govern itself and others. Because animals are unable to do this, they do not have rights.

What I think is that Hobbes argument is basically materialistic. His conception about human happiness is that we all humans are animals who can live a good human life, only if we satisfy our appetites by acquiring things we desire and move away from things we have aversions to. One of the philosophers that I would choose is Arendt, because she disagrees with Hobbes views and so do I, as her conception of human happiness is that living a good human life is a matter of cultivating the meaningfulness of your life story through self-expressive speech. I would totally agree with Arendt because a materialistic person is always after non-living things. Monetary things are only intriguing for a certain amount of time after which they tend to get boring.
