The Utilitarian View of My Cost Benefit

The voki asked me to answer the following questions:
1. What would the utilitarianist say about my cost-benefit analysis about school? Does it bring more pain or pleasure for me to go to school?
The utilitrian would question if school would give more pain or pleasure when going to school from K through 12. At first the utilitrian would want to see if he or she can make a cost of the intangible objects or things. Then the utilitarian would see if there is more pain or pleasure in going to school. At first he/she might see the pain in the short run, but in the long term overview, school gives a lot of pleasure to life. It gives friends, money, and more possibilites in life. The utilitrian would like school for the future. 
2. What would be an objection that the utilitarianist have about placing a $ value on everything?
I think that the only objection to the utilitrianist would be setting a $ value on everything. A point of view from one utilitrian could be different from another. At the same time, putting a value on everything is what some utilitrians do. He/she would give many reasons to why putting a $ value on this would give a more wholesome view over the pain-pleasure and cost-benefit point of views.

In the Face of Death

After taking the quiz, I noticed that I am inconsistent when it comes to my opinion of murder. I thought that I was a pacifist, but apparently I find murder right in certain cases. I found out that in Scenario 3, I would rather kill another man, than risk harming my friend's and my own lives. I don't find this result accurate, as I find murder wrong in all cases, according to my own morality. I would have to think about the matter a lot before I do anything to harm myself or someone else. So for me, murder is always wrong.

Think of Another Image or Example of an "Incomplete Thought".

Living on in one country for one's entire life is an example, of a so called "incomplete thought" that could hide the whole truth from us. This is a great example in many ways. This person, who has only lived in this one country, might only understand the concepts and thoughts of a certain people or society. This person might not understand wars that are raging on in neighboring countries, or how another culture and way of life would work. When I moved back to Sweden in 2007, there were a lot of prejudice of how I lived in Thailand. They thought that I lived in a straw house with no toilet. The people didn't really where clothes like we do in "the western world" and a word like cement or road was a myth. This shows their ignorance for knowledge. They have never learned that we in Thailand might actually be more technological than they are in Sweden. In Thailand we have lots of cement buildings that roar over 300 meters high. In Sweden the highest building is a church that was built 200 years ago, and might stand around 100 meters high. People who believe these things really do have an "an incomplete thought". Another example of incomplete knowledge due to a country barrier could be people living in Ethiopia. They might be really poor and starving to death, and the word of education is just something that never will happen in their lives. These people haven't chosen their "incomplete thought", they were born into it. The Ethiopians might never have seen a white or yellow person before in their lives. Their knowledge has been hidden away from them from the government who might not have the money to give education or experiences like travelling. There are many people and countries who have "incomplete knowledge" due to country boundaries.

The Truman Show Question:In what ways, if any, does Truman’s relationship with his perceived world differ from that of a normal human being's?

There are many ways that Truman's relationship's with his perceived world differs from that of a normal human being's. The first is the fact that he is watched 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, by millions of people, across the globe, even before the day he was born. For a normal human being, that will probably never happen on purpose. A person may be filmed by chance on some news report, but that's it. Another way Truman's world is different, is that not everyone lives in a gigantic dome, where everyone who "inhabits" this place are payed actors. In our world, we have normal human beings who interact with each other, either by need or want, and they never get payed. In Truman's world, there is also utter control over "so-called-natural phenomenons". At any time, the control personal can put on a hurricane or a drought, by just pressing a button or two. In our world, the only way we can try to control the weather is by an invention using chemistry , where one can try to induce rain fall but it doesn't always work. In this very long time running show, the director can, and sometimes even will, do anything to make Truman do a certain action. For example, when Truman's father "drowns" and Truman gets a fear of water, or when Truman meets an angry dog while trying to run away from home. The Director can, in Truman's world, act as a God over what Truman may do, but he can't control what Truman feels or thinks. In our world, we do have laws, but we can still do what we want and feel we want to do, and nobody can totally control what we feel and how we act. We also have to take responsibility for our own decisions. So in conclusion, Truman's relationship with his perceived world differs a lot from the world of a normal human being. 

The Truman Show

There are many things that are special and weird in Truman's life. The first is that the moon and the sun appear close together, at the same time at night. Two others would be the fact that there are suspicious looking people taking significant people away from Truman at different times in his life. (For example his father and Sylvia Garland). Another would be how he is not allowed to enter some buildings that are public buildings (the office next to his working area).
If this was me, stuck in a tv-series that I believe is the real world, I would've started to search for an escape or answer to these "abnormalities" earlier in my life. If I thought I saw my dead father, I wouldn't stop until I found out if it was true or not. Truman seems to give up quickly. In many countries, it isn't too far to the next bus stop. You can run and catch up with this bus of his. I would also used my common sense when it comes to the moon and the sun, knowing that it is not possible for that to occur every night. I would also get mad, and get to the bottom of these "weird" public buildings that everyone but I can enter. I would let my curiosity and restlessness get the better of me. It takes Truman over 10,000 days for this to happen!!!
I believe that Truman will find a way out of this world and find the real love of his life. He will notice that the world of his is only a set by actually overcoming his fears of water. He will be determined at some point to find his father. He must leave for Fiji at some point as well. His love is waiting for him. At some point, everything will boil over and fear is not going to stop him. Truman will start thinking on his own, maybe for the first time in a long time.
