Module 4:Utilitarianism Part 1

7.1Read this section to give you historical background to utilitarianism

8.1The Classical Version of the Theory

Utilitarianism:We should always act in such a way to promote the greatest balance of pleasure minus pain for all sentient beings affected by our actions.

A point about sentience: A sentient being is one capable of experiencing pain or pleasure.It is very common to portray utilitarianism as telling us to promote the greatest happiness/pleasure for the greatest number of people, as Rachels sometimes does.But that would misrepresent both Bentham and Mill.Consider, then, the following question:

According to Utilitarianism, we should always act in such a way to promote the greatest balance of pleasure minus pain for all and only people.a. True b. False

The answer is b. False.This should become clearer in Module 6 when we consider whether we have obligations to non-human animals.

Rachel summarizes utilitarianism in three propositions.The remainder of the chapter examines, explains, criticizes, and defends them.

By the end of the module, you should be able to state the definition of utilitarianism, explain Rachels three propositions of utilitarianism, and know the main problems with them and the utilitarian responses to them.

8.2Is Pleasure All That Matters?

The view that pleasure is the only thing valuable in itself (pleasure alone is intrinsically valuable) is called “hedonism”

You should read this section and then read the Nozick piece in The Right Thing.

Does Rachels’ discussion in 8.2 and Nozick’s discussion convince you that hedonism cannot be true?

8.3Are Consequences All That Matter?

The three criticisms discussed in this section (justice, rights, and backward-looking reasons) are thought to be the most serious objections to utilitarianism.You should be able to explain how the utilitarian standard is supposed to conflict with important beliefs we have about justice and rights and to explain why it cannot recognize the importance of backward-looking reasons.Later in the chapter we’ll see utilitarian responses to these charges.

Justice

Rights

Backward-looking reasons

8.4Should We Be Equally Concerned For Everyone?

This objection is raised against proposition c:each person’s happiness counts the same. . .Rachels quotes Mill as saying that this requires we must be “strictly impartial as a disinterested and benevolent spectator”

Is such strict impartiality a good thing or a bad thing morally?

8.5The Defense of Utilitarianism

We are now going to add another level of complexity to the discussion.Don’t lose track of where we are.We are considering the utilitarian standard of morality that says we should always act in such a way to promote the greatest balance of pleasure minus pain for all sentient beings affected by our actions.In 8.2-8.4 we considered objections to the utilitarian standard.In 8.5, Rachels presents important utilitarian responses to three important objections followed by three responses.The defenses are defensive strategies designed to show that the objections to utilitarianism fail.The three responses are offensive strategies designed to present positive considerations in favor of utilitarianism.

First Defense:Denying That the Consequences Would Be Good

Second Defense:The Principle of Utility Is a Guide for Choosing Rules, Not Acts

This point will come up again in Module 5, so you should make sure you understand it.

Third Defense:Common Sense Is Wrong

First Response:All Values Have A Utilitarian Basis

Second Response:Our Gut Reactions Can’t Be Trusted

The Third Response:We Should Focus On All the Consequences

8.6Concluding Thoughts

Utilitarianism has some serious problems, but some have found the defenses satisfactory and the responses compelling.Do you?Choose one and explain your reasons.

Target Canada 

In 2012, Target expanded its business into Canada.  The proximity to the U.S. as well as Canadians’ familiarity with the brand made expansion across the border seem like a natural step for the retail powerhouse.  However, after only two years, Target faced $2 billion in losses and announced plans to close all of its Canadian stores.  Here are some of the reasons the global expansion led to an exit decision:

Target was initially able to minimize its capital costs by purchasing obsolete stores from a former Canadian discount chain.  While this gave Target quick and affordable access to a high number of locations, the stores were not designed for Target’s big box format.  Also, the association created by locating the new Targets in outdated spaces damaged its “Expect More, Pay Less” brand reputation.

Target compromised quality for speed to market. The company opened 124 stores in only two years, and essential parts of the business, such as inventory planning, could not keep up with that pace.  As a result, empty shelves and stock outs were an issue.  This was especially disappointing for Canadian consumers, who were accustomed to seeing abundant merchandise in U.S. stores.

• Target faced stiff competition from Walmart, which has been present in Canada since 1994. Historically, Target’s trendy and more fashionable merchandise had helped the brand distinguish itself.  However, its Canadian assortment lacked these qualities, which put Target in the position of having to compete on price, which is Walmart’s sustainable competitive advantage.  Walmart responded with a price war that they appear to have won.
• Each of these factors put Target’s brand equity, one of its most precious assets, at risk, and ultimately it was left with little choice but to pull out of the market.  While opportunity may still exist in the future for Target to re-enter Canada, its failed first attempt is a good lesson for companies considering expanding operations into new global regions.
• Questions:
• 1) Evaluate the three criteria for divestment for Target Canada.  Did Target Canada meet each criterion? Explain.
• 2) Imagine you were president of Target Canada at the time when Walmart started the price war. How would you respond to the war?  Was there any way to win? Be sure to explain your answer here.  Should they try to win?  Explain why or why not.  Please be specific in your answers.
