Question

According to Utilitarianism, my own happiness and the happiness of loved ones count more than the happiness of strangers.

true or false?​

Answer 1

True



If wrong pls tell me

Answer 2

The statement is False.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Utilitarianism, actions done by people are considered right if they provide happiness to a large number of people.

When many people get happiness by the actions done by a person, that person will eventually get the happiness himself.

So in this example, happiness of oneself or the happiness of the loved one is not important in Utilitarianism. Rather the happiness of large number of people is more important.
