Utilitarianism

[Sonia]

The doctrine that the greatest happiness of the
greatest number should be the end and aim of all social and political
institutions.

[Sommer]

A philosophy that people should act in order to increase the frequency and [longevity] of pleasure throughout the world. Although the idea acting to increase long-term and global pleasure sounds desirable, Utilitarians believe that the pleasure of many outweigh pleasure of few. A [Utilitarian] may believe that killing one person in order to increase the pleasure of many or killing someone and [harvesting] their organs would be a just action. Some Utilitarians have seen that this can be dangerous; many Utilitarians, because of this, follow a slightly different ideology that they should act to increase the frequency and longevity of pleasure throughout the world by following the best social standards.

[PussyCat]

A [collectivist] moral philosophy which states that the moral worth of an action is directly [dependant] upon how much pleasure or [good that] action brings upon others. It is the belief in the most good for the most people. Under this moral philosophy the person exists solely to serve the community. According to Utilitarianism the person has no value, only the people do.
