Utilitarianism is a philosophical current that supports the performance of actions that are useful for an individual. According to this philosophy, when an individual focuses on actions that are useful, this will allow him to focus on his personal fulfillment and the pleasure that this action will provide, causing that individual to move away from unctuous actions that bring bad feelings, in addition to pain and suffering.
Within utilitarianism, useful actions are considered to be proactive and stimulating, the individual who adopts this philosophy can visualize its purpose and results and, therefore, can act based on certainties and expecting happy results. The adoption of this philosophy as a moral principle, can influence an individual to positive work on factors such as economics, relationships, behaviors and even in the decision of choices. Because of the pleasure generated by these actions, the individual feels motivated to practice them each time and ends up leaving the environment around him happier and more comfortable.
However, it must be considered that each individual finds pleasure and utility in different factors. This causes the utilitarian to be seen in a negative way when associated with an individualistic bias. An individual may find usefulness and pleasure in activities that cause the detriment of society and the unhappiness of others.
In this case, we can conclude that this philosophy must be much debated before being established as a moral principle. This is because its adaptation depends on psychological and emotional factors that are variable and often unstable, requiring a thorough study to assess in detail its consequences in different situations and environments.
