VALUE CRITERION

Criteria or Criterion set the standard for measuring your value. Sound simple....no I don't think so. Criterion can be the make or break in your case. Let's look at some sample criterion so we can see how they play perhaps the most important role in LD debate.

•       Utilitarianism -Greatest good for the greatest number of people

•       Teleology-The end justifies the means (or no matter what you do to achieve an end it is justified)

•       Deontology-The means justifies the end (opposite of teleology. If the means is not moral it should not be used to produce a positive end)

•       Consequentialism-The consequences produced are either minor or major

•       Humanitarianism- Respecting human rights and the well being of the majority of human beings
