Do you agree that "The ends justify the means"?

This is the kind of concept a utilitarian would agree on. If the result is positive for a large group of people, we should seriously consider doing it.

However, I would like to comment on this concept. In my opinion (and that's what you're asking for) there are situations in which the ends don't justify the means. You can e.g. think about mass-bombings to fight against terrorism. However, the possibility exists that innocent people will be hit, and will die. Therefore, the end don't always justify the means (in my opinion).

This was done because the Spaniards believed that indigenous people were not evil, but rather ingenious souls that could be purified if forced into Christianity.

True after putting on the mask it does spook the kid and makes him a bit wary only because he is caught off guard. If the kid gets acquainted to the situation and more "used to" wearing the mask this fear my go away. I think the kid will have fun and not worry after getting used to the mask.
