1. Explain what Joel Marks means by the illusion argument concerning utilitarianism?
ANSWER: Immanuel Kant utilitarianism provisions developed an extended theory about
moral duties that included straight responsibilities to non-human animals. It suggested that the
consequences experienced after the operation determines the morality of an action. Kant argued
that the fundamental aim of ethics is to treat all people. Marks explained that as people try to
develop what is morally right in society, it is impossible to fulfill the morality ethics because
some of the individual actions would go unknown (Marks, 2016, np). Marks argues that Kant's
theory needed proper explanations for it to make sense in the society hence terming it as an
illusion argument. Rightful and moral considerations for the non-humans must be extended for
the Kant's theory to be appreciated. Marks claimed that the consequentialism violated the dignity
of non-human beings. (131words)
2. Why, according to Joel Bakan, are corporations psychopathic?
ANSWER: Bakan argues that corporations are institutional psychopaths and treacherous
owners of power that is over people and the entire society. Their main aim is to capitalize on
profit for their stakeholders. Their ignorance of the methods used to achieve their goals depicts
them like a maniac. Bakan argues that the corporation's psychopathic nature enables them to
manipulate everyone, including the government. He illustrates the corporate psychopathic view
as that of human beings who have no concern for others and are not capable of handling their
relationship with others. They have repeated lies and have no affection for other individuals and
societal members. They fail to adapt and obey the norms and values of society and are not
capable of experiencing guilt over their actions. Bakan argues that the corporation's activities are
not attributed to the qualities of the executive that run them. (140words)
