Answer:
Utilitarianism is an ethical movement that measures the moral value of an action by the contribution that this action makes to the common good, whereby the common good refers to the well-being and happiness of all people. Usually this means that a utilitarian strives with his actions for the greatest possible degree of happiness, although he takes into account that in practice this may sometimes be impossible. The greatest possible degree of happiness means that as many people as possible are as happy as possible.
