ESSAY ON: Utilitarianism: For The Greater Good

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Engineer Bill, who understands the essence of greater good, is faced with the most difficult decision of his life: does he rescue a single little girl who is caught upon the railroad tracks at the expense of one hundred people who are headed for certain death, or does he spare those hundred people in exchange for one little girl's life? When adopting the utilitarian perspective in relation to this quandary, the student will find that the primary motivation is what impacts the most people and reflects an outcome for the greater good; as such, Engineer Bill will save the trainload of passengers and forfeit Sarah's life. No bibliography.
