Presentation transcript:

According to the Principle of Utility…

 Yes, according to the Principle of Utility, U.S intervention in Libya is morally right!

 Due to current political turmoil in the Middle East… ◦ Rebels in Libya are fighting against the dictator Gaddafi, for their freedom. ◦ Gaddafi is using brutal force when fighting them, killing many.

 According to John Stuart Mill’s text, Utilitarianism, The Principle of Utility states… ◦ Maximize benefits ◦ Minimize harms ◦ Allow the greatest amount of pleasure

 Send troops to help Libya’s rebels OR  Do nothing

HarmsBenefits Libyan rebel lives saved Libyan rebel lives lost Libyan Army lives lost American soldiers lives lost **BOLD NOTES INEVITABLE**

HarmsBenefits American soldiers lives savedLibyan rebels lives lost Libyan Army lives lost **BOLD NOTES INEVITABLE**

 Operation Iraqi Freedom… ◦ Deployed 466,985 total personnel ◦ $917,744, spent in a 9 months ◦ 4,421 total deaths, 3,491 KIA  Was it worth it?

 The numbers do not support the Principle of Utility… ◦ A lot of life being lost ◦ Appears to be more harm than benefit

 Though the numbers do not support, the entire idea is morally right.  Overall will bring more happiness to Libya, the Middle East, and the world.  Lives lost are a small price to pay for freedom

 Starting another foreign conflict is a bad idea… ◦ Aid, in any form, is expensive. ◦ Helping another country instead of helping our own. ◦ Taking more soldiers away from home. ◦ A lot of death involved, on both sides.

 Helping another country fight for freedom  Saving lives in the process  Gaining allies  Money spent can be refunded in oil…

 Helping Libya in their current situation would be a morally right decision.  Produces more benefits than harms.
