For the first 9 questions, please put whether the example is utility centered, happiness centered, or pleasure centered. Also put whether it is using a maximization or minimization principle. Remember that the minimization principle takes into account a minimum standard or threshold. Example- Mary wanted to make sure she trained all of her workers to deal with any and all situations they would face when fixing the plumbing under houses, but also took into account that one of her plumbers was claustrophobic, so allowed them not to have to take the training. Answer- Utility centered and minimization Paul was craving fajitas and was very hungry, but his partner is a vegetarian, so he decided to cook steamed kale for dinner to satiate his grumbling belly. Tony wants to have a high paying job in STEM and so decided his best decision would be to go to a technical university and study engineering instead of his other love of literature. His mom also wanted him to be close to home, so he is only looking at technical schools in state. Briana is wanting to show a movie at her birthday for all of her friends to watch. She knows that most of her friends really enjoy horror movies, but still like comedies too. Even though her friend Evelyn is terrified and becomes upset at horrors, Briana decided to show that movie because it makes everyone else besides Evelyn feel a lot of enjoyment. Tanya likes the temperature in her apartment to be set at 75 degrees, but has company coming over that overheat and hyperventilate if they sleep with the temp above 72 degrees. Tanya decides to set the temp to 71 degrees to play it safe and keep her guests from hyperventilating. Travis wants everyone to be as happy as possible. He wants all of his students to get A’s but also knows that if he just gives A’s their education and opportunities in the future will be affected. He decides that he needs to design his class in a way that ensures that they have the opportunity to learn everything they need to in order to succeed, and hopefully they choose to do so in order to make themselves happy. They also have to meet the minimum standard of competency in order to get a good grade. (This one is a trick question and applies multiple value metrics, please put the two that apply as well as whether or not it is minimization or maximization.) 6.Briana is wanting to show a movie at her birthday for all of her friends to watch. She knows that most of her friends really enjoy horror movies, but still like comedies too. Her friend Evelyn is terrified and becomes extremely upset at horrors, so Briana decided to show a comedy instead so no one had to be traumatized by the horror film. Tony want to have a high paying job in STEM and so decided his best decision would be to go to a technical university and study engineering instead of his other love of literature. His mom also wanted him to be close to home so he could help around the house, but he decided he didn’t want to limit his future, so he applied to schools all over the country. Paul was craving fajitas and nothing hits the spot like fajitas, but his partner is a vegetarian, so he decided to cook fajitas and have his partner find a different alternative because he loves them so much. Tanya likes the temperature in her apartment to be set at 75 degrees because this is where her body is most comfortable and thrives. She has company coming over that overheat and hyperventilate if they sleep with the temp above 72 degrees, although she feels that her discomfort ranks higher than theirs, so will keep the temp at 75 degrees and suggest her guests get a hotel.
