Utilitarianism is known as the principle of greatest happiness for the greatest number of people. Utility is defined as the absence of pain and pleasure itself, which is why it is also called the Greatest Happiness Principle. According to utility, an action is considered of moral value if it promotes happiness; and it is considered wrong if the action increases pain. Unhappiness means lack of pleasure and pain; and happiness is understood as pleasure and the absence of pain. According to utilitarianism the only desirable ends are pleasure and freedom from pain and are considered intrinsically good. With all these definitions the question arises: is life all about pleasure and pain? And if so, then can a person who just watches TV and eat junk food all day be considered a man of moral actions? Even if he never tries to perform noble deeds and productive activities. The answer is no. According to utilitarianism, some pleasures are more desirable and valuable than others, and a person must always choose the higher pleasure over others. Utility is not simply a quantitative analysis of pleasure, rather there are various qualities of pleasure and only people who have a wide range of experiences can dictate which pleasure is of higher quality. A pleasure is considered to be of higher quality if people choose it over other pleasures, even if it is accompanied by some discomfort and even if the other pleasure is given in large quantities. For example, if a person finds pleasure in exercise, he or she would not trade that pleasure for something else (like watching TV) regardless of how tired the exercise made him or her. Another example is that a child would not exchange his sweet cake for a thousand... middle of paper ......who is less useful and produces less happiness. There are also some situations where it is not clear what a child is. it would be a utilitarian action. For example, what if there is a conflict between moral situations? Suppose a person promised someone to be somewhere at a certain time, but on his way he finds someone who needs his help. So should he keep his promise or help the person in need? In this case, the rule of utilitarianism does not say what to do. Therefore a person can choose whatever action he believes will provide greater good to a greater number of people and should thoroughly analyze the results of each action. Utilitarian theories suffer from the problem of making it morally justified to imprison, kill, deceive, or torture individuals, even innocent ones. To achieve a greater good, according to utilitarian theories only the total human good matters.
