Do you prefer Mill or divine command? Why one or the other

/in /by

Utilitarians do not just look at the happiness of one person.

Egoism is not about each person making things up. That is relativism.

Something has to be truly in one’s own interests.

If some sees heroin as in their own interests, that does not make it so.

Mill is going to first look at the actual outcome. The actual outcome can be contrasted with possible ones, but the actual outcome has the ultimate moral weight.

Thus, it is more so judging the actual outcome as to whether it is the best possible. Then working prior to something for that outcome. Utilitarianism does not count intentions. It counts results.

The British philosophers Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873) are the most famous teleological ethicists. Bentham and Mill’s ethical theory gave rise to the term ‘utilitarianism,’ and they suggested that the most ethical action is always one from which the greatest number of people benefit and the least are harmed. The ethical objective of utilitarianism can thus be stated as “the greatest happiness for the greatest number.” If we make decisions on principles of utility or consequence, we would carefully consider everyone effected by the decision, and weigh the harms and benefits of every action. Within this system, not every harm is evaluated the same way. Utilitarians also determine the relative impacts of benefits and harms. This also includes evaluating the likelihood of particular consequences occurring rather than other consequences. There is a lot to think about when making decisions according to this ethical framework!

We should be able to contrast, then, teleological ethics with deontological ethics such as divine command. Ethical decisions made based on rules or principles do not necessarily take consequences into account. We will see this contrast demonstrated in the example in the next section.

Do you prefer Mill or divine command? Why one or the other

proposal for review by the hospital leadership team.

/in /by

You will develop a proposal for review by the hospital leadership team. This proposal should contain the following (at minimum):

  • Executive summary detailing the need for collaborative care teams (CCT) and why they will benefit the hospital.
  • At least one paragraph to summarize each of the following components, citing relevant research as applicable. Assume fictional information to formulate your rationale:
    • Benefits of CCT to patients
    • Benefits of CCT to clinical staff
    • Structure of CCT (what providers are involved, and to what degree)
    • Oversight and assessment (who is responsible for tracking the success or failure)
    • Operational/Financial risks or areas of concern
    • Timeline for implementation
    • Conclusion: summarize key points to “sell” this proposal. Ideally, this will become a standardized model of care in your hospital, if a pilot is successful.
  • APA style
    • Include a cover and reference page
    • Include a minimum of three references. In-text citations should be used to cite relevant research supporting your rationale for using CCT.

Part B Unit II Case Study

Instructions (ONE PAGE ESSAY)

Jeremy Dale is a 30-year-old recreational sports enthusiast and likes to play soccer and baseball on his days off from work. He mentions to you, his co-worker, that he thinks he might have sprained his ankle over the weekend while playing soccer with some friends. He says it is swollen and very painful today and asks whether you think he should see a doctor or just wait for it to get better.

What might be some good recommendations for you to give Jeremy about his sports injury?

What could you tell him in general about minor sports injuries? How could he determine that it is a sprain or a strain? Should he apply ice and elevate or compress the injured ankle? Is it too late for that treatment to be helpful?

Your response should be at least one page in length. Include at least one reference to support your work in APA style. You are required to use at least your textbook as source material for your response. All sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations.
