Mill's Utilitarianism
John Stuart Mill’s Utilitarianism predominates in the world of computing nowadays. The happiness and pleasure we feel is encouraging us to do more even if it’s against the law. Hacking, pornography, violation of privacy, software piracy and other computer crimes are increasing even users already knew that it is immoral and unethical. Violators think only the benefits they can get. Users are benefited also in a way that they can buy cheaper software, but what about programmer(s) who created the software? Put your feet on their shoes and you will feel if somebody steals something that you have worked hard for.
Sometimes, we should be stoic so that we’ll not commit crimes and to avoid harming other users. Law should be governed by everybody. Implementation is needed to stop violations. Computers were created not only for the users. Since they are benefited, USERS should help in preventing computer abused.
we should know the limitations in every actions that we are doing so that we can prevent computer abused... you have a good conclusion kath.. :)
ReplyDeleteyeah, she's really right. but i don't really agree on the very last part. COMPUTERS weren't really created to prevent computer abused. BUT COMPUTER ABUSE was created because of so many things that we can do with the help of COMPUTERS.
Deleteagree??
we have different perceptions on every theory so i respect your choice
ReplyDeletedefinitely true! we should strictly implement laws in order to mitigate computer crimes/abuse.hence, there are still those person who is not really aware to have laws and still continuing to abuse such activities.
ReplyDeleteproper way of implementing law leads us a peaceful and well rounded community;)
yeah right.. too soon to say this but i congratulate you sis
ReplyDeletewell done, so we should pursue it to stop computer crimes.....
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that pleasure is happiness. in order to attain it, we even forget to consider other people. we become selfish and think only of ourselves.it's not easy to prevent computer crimes to happen but we can atleast lessen it starting with ourselves.
ReplyDeleteit seems that most of my friends have chosen utilitarianism huh? hehe. nice post kath. and i really like this line. "Sometimes, we should be stoic so that we’ll not commit crimes and to avoid harming other users." =)
ReplyDeleteWe have the same choice of what theory predominates in this world.... You are right.. Implementing the law is better than just making the law.
ReplyDeletei like your principle on this matter. you really have a great idea
Deletei cannot say what theory predominate is the world of computing. but with such explanation you spread some thoughts of how we live of life.
ReplyDeletebut sometimes happiness can be good or bad. happiness in playing games and in hacking.
it defend on how we use the word HAPPINESS. in good way or bad way.
happiness can be in a good or bad way.
ReplyDeletetoo much happiness is not good. ahehe:)
It's definitely true that we have all happiness and pleasure and sometimes we forget the fact that is our deed is moral or immoral...^^
ReplyDeleteYou have defended both sides. You explained why they're doing such thing is just clear and understandable. ^_^
ReplyDeleteyou explained it well ... nice one
ReplyDeleteI have chosen that theory too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree with you that users should help prevent computer abuse. But we must start in ourselves.
