Utilitarianism is Morally WrongIn this article I will explain the ethical theory of Utilitarianism in depth. I will analyze the controversy surrounding the theory, as well as the related themes of consequentialism and the idea of ​​what is intrinsically and extrinsically valuable. Utilitarianism, the idea that the best moral decision is the one that benefits the greatest number of people, is a morally wrong ethical theory because it devalues ​​the rights and freedoms of individuals for the betterment of others. As we examine the consequences of utilitarian actions, we notice an emphasis on the theory of intrinsic value. Intrinsically valuable actions are described as morally good in themselves and in some cases are a means to an end, such as helping the poor after a natural disaster. Extrinsically valuable actions are similar in the sense that one would help the poor anyway, but not because it is the right thing to do, rather because it makes them feel good to help people. Everything we value today is said to have value because of its close relationship to what is intrinsically good. For example, some people, including consequential hedonists, see happiness itself as an emphasis on pleasure before pain, and believe that such emotions are intrinsically priceless and valuable. Furthermore, utilitarians believe that we can compare the intrinsic values ​​created by opposite actions to calculate the least harmful outcomes. An English philosopher, Jeremy Bentham, believed that moral beings could determine the total amount of pleasure and pain and, from this, could determine the amount of good or bad in certain actions. Consequentialism is another crucial component of utilitarian ideals. This theory suggests that morality involves deriving the... center of the card... ts. For example, if ten lives can be saved at the cost of one, utilitarians believe they have achieved a positive outcome. This raises the question of whether or not all people's lives have the same value when we come to choose between those who are worthy and those who are unworthy of living at the expense of others. Supporters of utilitarianism have difficulty refuting their opponents' claims since any moral person cannot disprove the idea that all men are created equal. This movement to benefit the majority of people at the expense of only a few may satisfy some, but dehumanizes others, which ultimately leads me to conclude in favor of the counterarguments that utilitarianism is immoral and should be frowned upon by all moral standards . people.References:1.)
