Answer: Esther won’t admit this to anyone, but has reached the age where driving scares her and makes her nervous. She gets particularly overwhelmed in traffic when trying to make a left-hand turn. She is having trouble using her <u>divided</u> attention to make decisions about what to notice at the intersection.
Explanation:
<u>Paying attention</u> to driving is a key factor in maintaining safety because we can cause an <em>accident </em>in a second. Many times we assume that attention should be fixed only on what the road shows us through the front of the vehicle, however, in driving, it is often said that attention must be divided into three types.
- Selective attention ( It increases our brain's ability to react quickly to events that require it).
- Divided attention ( During driving situations arise in which we must pay attention to more than one factor at a time).
- Sustained attention (This attention refers to the need to remain alert to possible stimuli that may occur over time).
Our <u>brain </u>is <u>not designed to perform more than one complex task at a time</u>. Even if it seems that it does, it does not perform at maximum capacity because every time we change activity, the brain disconnects from the previous task to focus on the current one.
That is why it is always important to drive responsibly and without the distraction of a mobile phone or some other device.
A consequentialist approach to ethics is an approach that claims that the morality of an action depends on its outcome. This means that an action is "good" is the consequence it brings is good as well. An example of such a theory is Utilitarianism. Utilitarianism states that an action is morally good if it leads to the most happiness for greatest number of people. However, an objection that can be made to this theory is that utility and happiness are subjective, as well as difficult to measure.
On the other hand, non-consequentialist ethics state that the morality of an action is based on the rightness and wrongness of the actions themselves and not the consequences of those actions. An example of this is the Natural Rights Theory, which states that humans have an inherent right to certain rights, regardless of human behaviour. However, it is unclear who has the right to state what these rights are, which has led to criticism of the theory.
