Application of Ethics to Legal Issues Analyze this case from the perspective of the four ethical theories presented throughout the course—consequential ethics, utilitarian ethics, deontological ethics, and nonconsequential ethics. Consequentialism ethical theory looks at the consequences of an action to determine its rightness or wrongness. The theory can justify some of the acts that are traditionally perceived as being wrong (Briesen, 2016). It can also disqualify some actions which were traditionally regarded as being right. The different conclusions are based on the consequences. The main point is that an action is right if its consequences are right. Lying is right if it leads to positive outcomes. Being punctual is wrong if it leads to adverse outcomes. Hedonism and utilitarianism are two types of consequentialism (Briesen, 2016). Hedonism ethical theory determines the wrongness and rightness of an action based on if it helps people avoid pain or create pleasure. Utilitarianism determines the rightness and wrongness of an action depending on it’s the degree of happiness that the particular action produces in people. The right action is the one that creates happiness…

Can evolutionary mismatch help generate interest in health promotion messages? Introduction   Individual lifestyle change is recognised in many national public health policies as an important means of reversing the rising trends of obesity and associated chronic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes (Butland et al., 2007; Leeman et al., 2012). Self-directed interventions are increasingly being explored by health services as a way of bringing about individual lifestyle change on a large scale while reducing costs (Tang et al., 2016). These interventions involve little or no contact with professionals, instead requiring users to instigate changes by themselves, and are often delivered through Internet or mobile phone use. However, attrition rates are often high (Tang et al., 2014). For example, in a trial by Lim et al. (2014), only 22% of participants completed an Internet-delivered self-directed intervention to promote weight loss and maintenance among young women.   Crutzen and Ruiter (2015) have proposed that one way to prevent attrition is to stimulate greater interest among users in the intervention (Crutzen and Ruiter, 2015). Experimental research has demonstrated that interest promotes increased…
