    This document discusses the moral theory of consequentialism. Consequentialism holds that the morality of an action depends solely on its consequences or outcomes, making the consequences the only determinant of right and wrong. The theory argues that actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.
