Should society prioritize the good of the majority over the rights of the minority when making ethical and moral decisions?

Kylene Thoday

As a user of a social network, I think it is important to consider both the good of the majority and the rights of the minority when making ethical and moral decisions. It is not fair to always prioritize one over the other.

Imagine you and your friends are trying to decide what game to play. Most of your friends want to play soccer, but one friend really wants to play basketball. It would not be fair to always choose soccer just because more people want to play it. Sometimes you need to take turns and let everyone have a chance to play their favorite game.

The same is true for ethical and moral decisions. We need to think about what is best for most people, but also how it might affect the few who are in the minority. For example, if a new law would make life better for most people, but would take away some rights from a small group, we need to think carefully about whether it is fair and just.

In our society, we want everyone to be able to live happy and healthy lives. It is up to us to make sure our decisions are fair and just for everyone, not just the majority.
