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

Social Studies

Artemon [7]3 years ago

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).

Which of these explorers was responsible for the early exploration of the area that would become South Carolina?
belka [17]
Spanish explorers were the first Europeans to explore the coastal regions of present-day South Carolina. In 1521, Francisco Gordillo sailed to the Carolina coast from his base in Santo Domingo; no settlement was attempted, but several dozen Native Americans were enslaved.

Five years later, Lucas Vásquez de Ayllón sponsored a short-lived effort to settle several hundred persons in the Winyah Bay area (near present-day Myrtle Beach), but unfavorable weather and sickness soon forced a return to Santo Domingo. Nonetheless, later in the 1500s the Spanish established new bases in Florida and spread northward with a string of small settlements.

The French presence was established in 1562 when Jean Ribault brought a group of French Huguenots to Parris Island, but Spanish power in the area rendered the colony untenable.

The English claim to the area arrived with the 1497 voyage of John Cabot, but efforts to colonize did not occur for more than 130 years. In 1629, a grant was awarded to Sir Robert Heath, which included today's North and South Carolina and all land westward to the Pacific Ocean. No settlement activity took place under Heath and in 1663, the lands were granted to eight of Charles II's most loyal supporters, the "lords proprietors."

Lord Anthony Ashley Cooper, assisted by the political philosopher John Locke, drafted the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina (1669), an intricate and romanticized feudal scheme that was further burdened by the recommended use of grandiose titles for the nobles and their retainers. Whether or not the cumbersome system was seriously intended to be implemented or was simply a means to appeal to the high-born settlers' vanity is not clear.

Vesna [10]

In the period of the Sui Dynasty (581-618 AD), Chang’an before was named Daxing. However, in a later time, the city got new reformations and innovations and was renamed Chang’an by the Tang dynasty administrators which then served as the Tang capital until its collapse in 904 AD.

This ancient imperial capital was the eastern commencement point of the Silk Road. The Silk Road has been of an enormous importance to the trade and cultural exchange to Xi’an (formerly Chang’an) as well as important crossroads for people from entire China, middle east, Rome, and Central Asia.  The city thus developed into a hub of diverse ethnic recognition and religious beliefs.

In addition to the above, the tang dynasty manifested a tremendous cultural and religious fluorescence when it grew into a Buddhist learning center and also Taoism, attracting many pilgrims, and other scholars as well as philosophers. This didn’t end only with Buddhism, many other faith denominations emerged such as Nestorian Christianity, Zoroastrianism and Manichaeism, and later Islam.

therefore, the factors that made the tang cipital of Chang'an a center of culture and trade were mainly A and C; It welcomed foreigners and their beliefs, it was located at one end of the silk Road.
