Clues

  • (Human-centred) view, traditional view (summed up by Aristotle) that animals have no moral status because, unlike us, they are devoid of reason (15)
  • An alternative view to average utilitarianism and gets around mere addition paradox by stating that it is best to measure happiness/ utility by the total utility/happiness that a society has (5, 14)
  • Concerns itself with general moral rules that you should follow when making decisions (4, 14)
  • Incorporates the motives people have for their actions and gives weight to this when deciding if an action is morally right or wrong (6, 14)
  • It is right to act according to motives of self-interest (6)
  • One person's opinion, especially on a moral issue, cannot be any better than someone else's opinion (10)
  • Put other people's interests before your own (8)
  • The concepts of right and wrong arise from cultural beliefs and that we should be tolerant of differences between cultures (8, 10)
  • We should concentrate not on individual rights, but on the overall importance of diversity and the inter relations of all things on the planet (10, 4)
  • We should treat other people in a away in which we would wish to be treated ourselves ('do as you would be done unto') (6, 4)
