Default Three Main Postures In Debates.

Just wanted to share, that I noticed that in most of debates people use to be between these three positions.
  • Utilitarianism: this is, to direct actions in order to achieve the greater good to the greater number of people (society); however it tends to be a "cold" position that couldn't take in consideration the individualistic values (like freedom). This position usually prioritizes the benefits and the stock over its use
  • Humanism: thinks about the good of every person individually; but also caring of providing it to the greater number of people. This could be however a posture that can lead to decisions involving a great cost. This position does the opposite of utilitarianism: the use of the benefits and resources over its obtainment and stock.
  • Environmentalism: instead of focusing on mankind, environmentalism centers its points on the damage its acts' consequences do to the environment; although this nature-over-human thought can make anti-human decisions.

None of this are exclusive, though: you can care about the green while thinking on how it could be the best to your community.

Opinions?
