Explanation:

Utilitarianism is the principle of modernism. In this principle, if the action and behavior are right that leads to happiness and pleasure and promotes these two well being of a person and on the other hand, if any behavior or action takes place and creates unhappiness or sadness in a person's life then it is called utility principle. It is also called a teleological principle that indicates raises of the same issues related to the hedonism. The hedonist people always believe in something good about life that leads to pleasure and happiness in the life of a person. Some utilitarian believed that there is more or less quantified principle between pleasure and sadness/pain.
