Yes. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
Charles Dickens, in A Tale of Two Cities LR Golding, NY
It wasn't a philosopher, but was first spoken by Leonard Nimoy's Spock in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. However, philosopher Jeremy Bentham had a similar quote: "It is the greatest good to the greatest number of people which is the measure of right and wrong."
Act Utilitarianism is a theory of ethics. Basically, you need to think of it as weighing the pros and cons. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, and sometimes you might have to do something you don't really want to do in order to do the things you do want to do.
Why do you come here? What are your needs?
yes because if many people need one thing like good healthcare then people are going to work faster to meet the peoples needs. if only a few people need the same thing then most of the help will go to the greater need until that problem is solved and then they go to the issue that didnt have as much command as the other issue. the more people need something, the mor help they get.
The quote "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few" comes from the classic Charles Dickens' novel "A Tale of Two Cities."The popular reference is from the movie "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan." Early in the film, Spock gives a copy of the book to Kirk for his birthday. Kirk opens it and recites the beginning of its famous opening line "It WAS the best of times, it was the worst of times..." The quote is spoken near the end of the film, when Spock (who has sacrificed his life to save the crew -- an underlying theme in Tales) begins to recite the line, which Kirk helps him finish.After Spocks' funeral, Kirk recites (slightly misquoting) the final words of the novel: "It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest(ing place) that I go to than I have ever known."
A 'personal pronoun' is virtually always a pronoun.But some pronouns can function as a noun when not referring to a precedent in the same or preceding sentences. This can also be an idiomatic use of the word.Examples:pronoun one : "He chose one of the dogs."noun one : "This is the one I like best."pronoun many : "He owns a lot of cars, and many are valuable."noun many : "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few."
This principle, known as "the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few," suggests that the collective well-being is more important than the well-being of an individual. It is often used to justify sacrifices for the greater good or to promote utilitarian ideals. However, ethical considerations and individual rights may still be important in certain contexts.
As in the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few. The fact that the Nazi party was one of nationalists meant they did not care for the individual rights of the German citizens. Like the right to free speech & the right against illegal search & seizure. If Hitler wanted you executed because you were a Jew or had bad genes. He would do so simply because the individuals "Self interest" in remaining alive was less important then "Common interest" of keeping the Germans nation "strong'' and "pure".
