Do an ethical analysis of what
our nation’s nuclear weapons policy should
be using the five-steps of applying rule-
utilitarianism: (1) State your proposed rule;
(2) State at least two possible alternative
rules; (3) Determine the audience and the
probable consequences of enacting each of
these rules; (4) Identity the rule that would
most likely produce the greatest
utility/happiness/pleasure or least pain; (5)
Explain how this rule could be applied to
address this specific ethical dilemma.
