Utilitarianism In business operations globally
A. Introduction
Is it just fair to watch humanity race at risk of distinction just because utilitarianism as an ethical
principle provides that the happiness of the majority be impartially favored and concluded right
in order to allow businesses organizations to thrive in the global economy?
Why Utilitarianism?
Humanity race is affected by health and other pandemic caused by the very businesses going

ii. A lot of building constructors are required to build lifts for residents staying up a tall
