looked down on because they were not caring for their children. Quindlen goes on to say, “Every moment for children was a teachable moment-and every teachable moment missed was a measure of a lousy mom” (2012, 306). It was not until 1976 when Dr. Spock came out to say it was all right that woman worked and had children because there was baby sitters, nannies, books, and seminars all to help the working mom.

Utilitarianism is simple; it is based on the idea that our actions are morally wrong or right depending on the outcomes of those actions (Gilmore, Travis). Morally right actions increase happiness. Morally wrong actions decrease happiness. In this paper, I will show that the basic concept of Utilitarianism is a true justified ethical theory.
