Ethical systems should be based in people's ontologyAll choices inevitably cause tradeoffs between people but we can resolve them by weighing – we know weighing is possible because governments weigh all the time.Util is a pre-requisite – A non-ideal framework is needed to have intuitive foundation to make decisions under duress.4) Weighability - Only util explains degrees of wrongness—if I break a promise to meet up for lunch, that is not as bad as breaking a promise to take a dying person to the hospital.1AC – PlanNext is the Plan – Democracies ought to apply the Fairness Doctrine to members of the free press as per our solvency advocate for the free press to prioritize objectivity over advocacy.The plan forces broadcasters to abide or recognize content as entertainment which would increase marketplace diversity and combat disinformation.Murphy, William.
