The Trolley problem is the name given to a thought experiment in philosophy and psychology. It has sprouted a number of variations but is distilled to something like this: you are riding in a trolley without functioning brakes, headed toward a switch in the tracks. On the current track stand five people who stand to be killed if the trolley continues its path. You have access to a switch that would make the trolley change to the other track, but another individual stands there. That person is certain to be killed if the switch is activated. The Joker uses the Trolly Car Dilemma scenario and believes the citizens will fight over who gets to live and who perishes by pressing the button (hopefully at the same time).
Please discuss what moral choice the citizens would choose and explain why? Note: If you are not familiar with the movie then you should respond to the Trolly Car Dilemma–So do you switch tracks or not? Your response should be in the format of a short essay with a minimum of 4 paragraphs or 500 words or more. Of importance, if you use a source from the internet, book, or article cite the source in your text. Also, I discourage students from using artificial intelligence writing aid. Failure to cite sources used or the use of artificial intelligence writing is considered academic dishonesty which the EWU considers a serious violation of school policy.
Trolly Car Dilemma – THEORETICAL DIFFERENCES: JEREMY BENTHAM AND JOHN STUART MILL’S
Bentham advocated that the pleasures and the pains differ in quantity and not in quality. He said that pains and pleasures can be computed mathematically. But Mill said that pain and pleasure can’t be measured arithmetically they differ in quality only.
Bentham recognized only external sanctions. But Mill recognized not only external but internal sanctions also which would constrain the individual to promote general happiness because every individual possesses a feeling for the happiness of mankind.
Bentham’s principle of utility, in a society of wolves, would exalt wolfishness; in a society of saints, it would exalt saintliness. But according to Mill saintliness should be the criterion of utility in any society whatsoever.
Bentham utilitarianism supports the greatest good of the greatest number. But here there is a chance for suppression of minorities rights. So, Mill supported individualism.
Bentham supported the democratic government in any condition, but Mill supported monarchy for primitive man and democratic government for people who are able to understand the value of democratic government. It means Mill supported democracy based on the condition of man.
Bentham purely did not accept the State’s intervention in the individual’s liberty. But Mill supported State control over the institution of private property by holding that it can well impose taxation on the socially created values.
