ANS;
Utilitarianism is an ethical theory that suggests that the moral worth of an action is
determined by its overall utility or happiness it produces.
Here are some key aspects of utilitarianism:
1. Greatest Happiness Principle: The core idea is to maximize overall happiness or
pleasure and minimize suffering. Actions are morally right if they lead to the greatest
happiness for the greatest number.
2. Consequentialism: Utilitarianism is a consequentialist theory, meaning the morality of an
action is judged by its outcomes.
3. Quantifiable Happiness: Utilitarianism often involves the idea of quantifying happiness or
pleasure, which can be challenging in practice.
4. Impartiality: Utilitarianism emphasizes impartiality, meaning that each person's
happiness is equally valuable, without favoritism.
