    One of the core assertions of John Stuart Mill’s book‚ Utilitarianism‚ is that Utilitarianism can and should provide the basic moral framework for an individual’s decisions. He argues‚ often convincingly‚ that if all of society followed a system of morals dedicated to the maximizing public well-being‚ or utility‚ everyone would benefit.
