LO: to know how Act & Rule Utilitarianism can be applied H/W: In bullet point format, plan a part a essay: ‘Explain the main differences between Act and Rule Utilitarianism’ DUE THURSDAY Revise for Assessment on Utilitarianism for NEXT MONDAY (10 th )

Imagine Mill went to go see a Shakespearean play with Wayne Rooney. They both go to watch the play, but Mill enjoys watching it far more than Rooney. Rooney says that he would much rather watch Happy Gilmore on dvd. In this situation, how can you judge that going to see Shakespeare is a better quality pleasure than watching Happy Gilmore? Mill’s answer would be that Rooney simply is not educated/clever enough to be able to appreciate and enjoy all that Shakespeare has too offer. Mill on the other hand is, therefore, he is a competent judge!

 “The notion of higher and lower pleasures is not valid. It is simply the view of an old man and a spoil sport at that!”

 A commuter travels every day from Northwick Park to Liverpool Street.  One day he does not have enough money to pay for his journey in to work, so he dodges his fair. Is it ok to cause pleasure? How would Bentham react here? How would Mill react here?

 Write your own definitions of act and rule utilitarianism  Create two imaginary scenarios that represent act & rule utilitarianism  What is meant by Strong and Weak Utilitarianism? (See pg 114 of your textbooks)

 Rule Utilitarianism  a way that made it practical to use when creating rules for society.  This could mean individual pleasure is sacrificed for society.  RULE ULTILTARIANISM  Agree to general rule  apply to specific case. E.g. Community gets pleasure from public transport system. Therefore, everyone should pay transport fair.  Act Utilitarianism  Use the principle of Utility to judge every situation individually, in isolation from the community.  ACT UTILTARIANISM  Apply to specific case  Deduce general rule. E.g. Today, I don’t have train fair, but need to get into work. Therefore, dodge the train fair.

Get ready to evaluate Utilitarianism Use your textbooks, and work produced in the debate last lesson before half term to help! You get 5 minutes to prepare… TIP – Write everything down, points both for and against as you will need this for an essay!

If there is more than one person who wishes to speak, you should pick the person who has said the least so far (NAME)  A new speaker first has to offer a critical comment and EVALUATE what the previous person has said e.g. I agree because…., I think that is wrong because…., I disagree about this aspect….  The speaker must then say something substantial to drive the discussion forwards (BUILD) NAME EVALUATE BUILD NAME EVALUATE BUILD ‘Everyone should use Utilitarian ethics when making moral decisions.’
