As the world becomes more globalized, this trend increases. It affects the decision-making of those in positions of power and determines macro language policies and planning. Often decisions about language (or dialects or language variety) are related to usefulness - defined in terms of their pragmatic and commercial currency or their value as symbols of socio-cultural identity. Languages can be modes of entry into coveted social hierarchies or strongholds of religious, historical, technological and political powerLanguage and languagesEconomic aspectsLanguage and languagesPolitical aspectsLanguage and cultureLanguage spreadCommunication, InternationalElectronic books.Language and languagesEconomic aspects.Language and languagesPolitical aspects.Language and culture.Language spread.Communication, International.306.44Rubdy Rani885507Tan Peter K.

The best one-dimensional theory -- 8. The limits of consequentialism -- Appendix: multi-dimensional deontic logic.Consequentialism, one of the major theories of normative ethics, maintains that the moral rightness of an act is determined solely by the act's consequences. The traditional form of consequentialism is one-dimensional, in that the rightness of an act is a function of a single moral aspect, such as the sum total of wellbeing it produces. In this book Martin Peterson introduces a new type of consequentialist theory: multidimensional consequentialism. According to this theory, an act's moral rightness depends on several separate dimensions, including individual wellbeing, equality and risk. Peterson's novel approach shows that moral views about equality and risk that were previously thought to be mutually incompatible can be rendered compatible, and his precise theoretical discussion helps the reader to understand better the distinction between consequentialist and non-consequentialist theories. His book will interest a wide range of readers in ethics.Consequentialism (Ethics)Consequentialism (Ethics)171/.5PHI005000bisacshPeterson Martin1975-1559904UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786125103321The dimensions of consequentialism3825471UNINA
