Answer:

Utilitarianism

Explanation:

Utilitarianism is a moral philosophy that states that an act can be considered to be "right" (as opposed to wrong) if it contributes to the attainment of human satisfaction. This theory was developed by Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill. The theory states that acts are not good or bad on their own, or based on a subjective interpretation of morals, but that they can in fact be measured and judged based on how much happiness they bring to people.
