1)Consequentialism proposed by John Stuart mill and Jeremy Bentham is a theory of ethics which suggests whether
the action or decision is good or bad taking a note on the outcome of an action or decision, if action is giving more
benefits than harm then action can be considered good, but if the action is causing more harm than benefits then it
will be considered bad.
Example
As a medical student we also use the theory of consequentialism as an example in our life we can take that whether
to attend a lecture or go to the library and study something for upcoming exam, now in above situation both actions
seems right but when. We consider their outcome if I go to library as a outcome I'll just get some good grades or I'll
pass the exam but by bunking that lecture I may lose something which mam going to tell us which is vey useful in
practice.
But if I attend lecture I can get to know that thing more than that I'll learn the new topic so its having more benefits
in future so attending the lecture is right decision.
