Question

We live in a democratic and capitalistic society. Our fundamental freedoms include the freedom to pursue happiness, just like the Declaration of Independence says, and that often means pursuing money. No one has the right to take that freedom away from me.Which approach is this?1. Moral rights approach.2. Utilitarian approach3. Individualism approach4. Utilitarian approach

Answer 1

Answer:

1) Moral rights approach.

Explanation:

We live in what is called the western civilization where democracy and individual rights are highly regarded and respected by both the governments and the people. What we consider normal is not normal for 80% of the world's population and we should really be happy and proud that things are that way.

The moral rights approach states that we as individuals have fundamental birth rights that must be respected by everyone else (the same as we must respect other people's rights) and they cannot be taken away from us.

Answer 2

Answer:

3. INDIVIDUALISM APPROACH

Explanation:

While we all have freedom to pursue happiness and individual rights, it is an individualistic approach to define happiness based on a particular source like money. It is dependent on an individual what he chooses to make him happy.

Pursuit of happiness is different for different people. Michael may find happiness in singing as it gives him a sense of fulfillment, Angela might find happiness in modelling, Christie may find happiness in doing drugs, so for someone else, he might find ultimate happiness and satisfaction in money.

It is an individualism approach because the pursuit of happiness is based on different individuals and not a collective, because what makes one person happy may not make the next person happy.
