Suppose action A is an act of charity, giving 1 healthy, balanced meal to 1 starving, malnourished child. The meal itself consists of 200 total units of pleasure. Furthermore, after the eating is over, suppose that as a long-term effect (due to increased strength, restored hope, etc.), A produces an additional 500 units of pleasure over the life of the child, and an additional 20 units of pleasure for family members who see the child thrive. What is the total utility of action A, on Bentham's utilitarian theory?

Select one:
a. 720 units of pleasure.
b. 520 units of pleasure.
c. 700 units of pleasure.
d. It is incalculable because charity is a mean between two extremes.
e. Charity presents no contradictions, therefore the action has high utility.

bacteria that live on the ocean floor are sustained by phytoplankton. phytoplankton, microscopic marine photosynthetic organisms, have a vastly significant role to play not only in the marine food web of which they’re part of, but also on a more global scale. despite their infinitely small size in comparison to other marine organisms, these tiny creatures occupy an immensely important ecological niche: they are the foundation of the marine food web, and as primary producers, play key roles in supporting all other organisms in the marine environment, as well as in the regulation of the earth’s climate through the sequestration of carbon, oxygen production, and other related processes. phytoplankton account for roughly half of all global primary productivity; therefore, their significance extends far beyond the marine environment alone. there is an intriguing sense of irony in the realization that these tiny living beings that often live out their existence unnoticed and undetected by the rest of the world, have such a far-reaching impact on the lives of virtually all other living organisms on the planet, particularly on those in the marine environment. the world that we have become accustomed to has been and is continuously shaped by the workings of these miniscule yet vital “plants of the sea”.

hope this !
