This is the Do Now that we did in class.
Question: what sources do people rely on to get their information? Do people just trust anything they see or hear? In class we looked at a comic strip. It was clear that most people place their judgement by things on the internet. Its kind of a problem since not everything on the internet is true or reliable. A example is wikipedia, anyone can change the information by the way they think so it might have a bias view towards something or maybe its only in one perspective. We shouldnt believe everything that the internet says and we should get other reasources besides the internet or different websites to see if they agree or disagree and see if its right or wrong.

Utilitarianism views
1. What would the utilitarianist say about my cost-benefit analysis about school? Does it bring more pain or pleasure for me to go to school?
A utilitarianist would say that they need to put a price on the different things i said about school. Looking at the tangible ones that i have posted, it would say its worth it because in the long run, it would give me alot of pleasure for example I could get a job and have a high pay.And its like a investment to work hard now and gain the benefits later on in your life.
2. What would be an objection that the utilitarianist have about placing a $ value on everything?
A utilitarnianist would not place a price on everything because thats not what they do. Instead, they would start to put a price on the intangible things for example our emotions and relationships and friendships. They would say that putting a price on these topics can give us a more wider and more accurate view point of different pleasures and pains.
