The Utilitarian Society

A utilitarian society is one where decisions and policies aim to maximize overall happiness and well-being for the greatest number of people. It focuses on the idea that actions are right if they produce the most good and minimize suffering. This approach encourages weighing benefits and harms collectively, often guiding laws, social policies, and personal choices to favor outcomes that enhance overall societal welfare. The goal is to create a fair and efficient society where resources and efforts are directed toward activities that generate the greatest positive impact for the majority.
