In case of utilitarianism, there is presence of absolute clarity in every principle (Semrau, 2020). There is consideration about the societal members of every community by being selfless by every individual. The actions taken by individuals following the principles of utilitarianism will always be beneficial for the majority of the members of the community or society (Semrau, 2020). The concept of utilitarianism is fair for the societal members because of decision-making being unbiased and not focusing on meeting of selfish desires. There can be the exercise of free will by an individual following this concept (Semrau, 2020).
