Utilitarianism and consequentialism more broadly are ethical theories that have many variations. Both have proposed many ways to resolve this interpersonal comparison problem, and every effort has received criticism.

Explanation:

Apparently, many people misuse the term that all consequentialism forms are forms of utilitarianism. However, utilitarianism is a type of consequentialism. John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham are prominent consequentialists. Utilitarianism states that certain actions are ethical if the consequences are happiness and greater welfare for those concerned. Consequentialist judge the morality of an action based on its consequences. Utilitarian values an action particularly by asking whether the consequences of an action are human pleasure or happiness. For instance, if one thinks that all points of morality are:

1. to spread happiness and alleviate suffering, or

2. to generate as much freedom as possible in the world, or

3. to support the survival of human species, then one accepts consequentialism.

Furthermore, you can learn about the characteristics of utilitarianism and consequentialism by reading the text below:

• Utilitarianism

Generally speaking, it is a consequentialist theory of ethics which says actions are morally right or wrong based on how much happiness or unhappiness they create:

• morally right actions are actions that promote overall happiness

• Consequentialism

In general, the view that determines if an action is right or wrong is a consequence of that action

• actions are morally right if they have good consequences overall

• actions are morally wrong if they have overall bad consequences

• intention/motive is irrelevant if it is either right or wrong

Write some rules that people should follow in the public places​
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

1. If you're walking somewhere, walk on the RIGHT side, NOT the left (If you're American :) If you're not American and it's normal for you to drive on the left side, then please also walk on the left side)

2. Don't chuck your trash at the tree. If you have trash, put it in a trashcan. If you see trash, put it in a trashcan.

3. If you're going to use profanity, do it quietly, please. It makes the rest of us uncomfortable.

4. When wearing earbuds or headphones, make sure that other peeps can't hear it.

5. SUPER SIMPLE but SOME brains can't get this: just be overall respectful to others. You don't know them or their situation, so leave them be.

6. Last one and it's small. Hold open doors for people right behind you. Don't pull a sneaky ninja right before the door closes and make the other person open the door.
