UTILITARIANISM

1.Utilitarianism prioritizes the outcome and determines what is right. It is whether a person's decision
will benefit a large number of people or produce the greatest good. To put it another way, it is the moral
choice that will benefit the most people. Rule utilitarianism and act utilitarianism are its two primary
subfields.

2.Utilitarianism is concerned with consequences because it adheres to the consequential ethics system.
It looks at the consequences to determine whether something is right or wrong

3.The outcomes of an action were the foundation of his utilitarianism. He asserted that happiness can
be achieved by acting appropriately in any circumstance. Morally acceptable actions will not cause harm
to others but will instead boost happiness. In addition, he considers the total amount of happiness, not
just the average pleasure. The more contentment generated, the better the moral act.

4.Although their utilitarianism was nearly identical, Mill takes into account not only the quantity but also
the quality of happiness. He said that happiness is feeling content and free of pain. He said that actions
are right if they tend to make people happy, and wrong if they tend to make people unhappy.

5.Utilitarianism is a set of rules designed to ensure the greatest good for all of us; adhering to this rule is
a moral act.

6.The consequences of an action are the foundation of act utilitarianism. A moral action is one that
benefits the greatest number of people or leads to the greatest number of people's happiness.

7.Firs, they may favor a utilitarian approach to decision making because their decisions or the decision is
correct if it benefits the greatest number of people. It teaches us to think beyond our own interests and
consider the consequences of our actions on others. Second, its goal is to make as many people as
possible happy and fulfilled by increasing the amount of good things and decreasing the amount of
unhappiness.
8.First, utilitarianism determines what is right and wrong based on the outcome, but we don't know
whether the outcome of our action will benefit the greatest number of people or harm them. Second, it
may require us to defy justice if our actions are beneficial or will bring the greatest happiness to a large
number of people, even if that action is bad, which is unjust. It instructs us to weigh the amounts of
good and bad that our actions can produce.
