Moral or Immoral by Utilitarianism ?

Immoral…. By Utilitarianism perspective

“An action brings the greatest good for the greatest number of people”.

“An action that leads to beneficial consequences is right or moral, and one that leads to harmful consequences is wrong or immoral”.

Moral or Immoral by Immanuel Kants

Immoral….

“The motivation behind an action that makes it morally worth praising or condemning”.

Moral actions are undertaking out of sense of “Duty”---you do because it is “the right thing to do”.

The committees and the milk company

take an action for their

own purposes and benefits rather than the large number students.
