In Utilitarianism, it is claimed that policies, morally right actions, or laws are those whose aftermath have the least negative value and greatest positive value conceived in financial terms.

A concept in normative ethics or the morality of actions defined by ethics, Utilitarianism is defined by utility, the lack of pain and the presence of pleasure. It was proposed by John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham.
