-Utilitarianism is a branch of philosophy that deals with the greater good. It basically says that better things for an individual and society are the things that bring us pleasure and anything that brings us pain is bad for an individual or society. From this there are two types of utilitarianism: hedonistic and something else I forget, but the something else I forget incorporates hedonism (eating, sex, sleep, etc.) and higher forms of pleasure (education, introspection, self improvement). John Stuart Mill is a big contributor to utilitarianism.
