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

1 answer:

8 0

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).

Trump's mistakes will have a toll on America and it may take some time to rebuild, but I think Joe Biden wont make the same mistakes he did. I can't put all my trust in him, but i have hope he'll do the right thing.

In a short response, state the two important factors that caused Greeks to leave their homeland to settle in distant lands (crea

dalvyx [7]

The factors were less economic possibility and overpopulation in the homeland.

Explanation:

The Greeks were rarely in favor of leaving their motherland for a foreign land but had to do it multiple time sin the history.

This was because of overpopulation at home which made less resources available for the Greek state and they pushed people out.

Often the people were exiled and asked to settle different lands in the time of such problems so as to keep the population of the mother state as low and as functional as possible.

The Greeks mostly settled regions in Asia minor.
