I’m working on a philosophy question and need a sample draft to help me understand better.

1. What is the matter with the following claim: The good is good because of what it does for you.

2. What is the matter with the following claim: “Doing the right thing depends on what you are thinking when you do it.”

3. What is the matter with the following claim: The good depends on the results of what you do.

4. When
you think of the place of reason in ethics, is this utilitarian picture
what you have in mind? Are there any other ways that reason can
function in ethical decisions?

5. It
should be clear that utilitarianism focuses upon the ends, the goals of
actions. There is no action that is wrong in and of itself. Do you
agree with this position? Or do you believe that there are actions that,
regardless of the beneficial consequences, ought not be done?

6. If achieving happiness is not the goal of moral behavior …
what IS?

7.
Utilitarianism uses the idea of “pleasure=good”. How would you define
pleasure and is your definition of “good” equivalent or different from
“pleasure”?
