Q1. What is Confirmation Bias? Group of answer choices a. When you ignore relevant information because you already had an idea of what the answer should be b. When you ignore new information when it doesn't support or agree with your existing beliefs or understanding c. When you ignore relevant information from outside in favor of your own experience Q2. Utilitarianism is often said to involve a 'hedonistic calculus', where the ethicist must assign units of good or happiness, often called 'hedons', to various outcomes and then add up these hedons to make choices. There are benefits to this, such as objectivity and conflict resolution mentioned by Shafer-Landau. However, there are also downsides. Which of the following is not a potential downside of this theory? Group of answer choices a. There are no actions that are intrinsically wrong - the ends can justify any means b. This doesn't account for free will c. We don't know what the outcomes of our actions will be - if I try to do good but the effects are bad I am still immoral. Q3. Kant writes about a pseudo-thought experiment known as the 'Kingdom of Ends'. This is an imaginary place where, among other features, every action you take becomes a law that everyone in the world must follow. What principle discussed by Shafer-Landau does this embody? Group of answer choices a. Principle of Rationality b. Principle of Universalizability c. Critique of Pure Reason Q4. Fill in the blanks with the correct terms or phrases: Consequentialism and Deontology are very different. The first looks at [______] ["Intentions", "Character", "Outcomes", "Duties"] , while the second is concerned with [ _____] ["Rationality", "Actions", "Personal Character", "Outcomes"] . These differ in a number of respects but, importantly, one happens after the action and is very objective while the other is important before the action and is primarily private, or only known to the person taking the action. However, these two positions are similar in that they both look at and assess [ _____] ["Rationality", "Actions", "Personal Character", "Outcomes"] .
