Utilitarian and Cost-Benefit Analysis

     Different people would have different opinion on pleasure and pain. For Utilitarianism, I think they would say coming to school is good for you since it gives you a long-term benefit. You maybe suffer from finishing work on time and studying for quizes, tests, and exams, but at the end, you can go to a good university and get a good decent job. For the long-term happiness, I think Utilitarian would say it is worth it to come to school. You may encounter pain and tiredness, but in a long term, it benefits you.

     Utilitarianism would say that everything can be given value. They would calculate the exact cost for our tangible and intangible cost to compare the value pleasure and pain. For example, to see if you should come to school or not, utilitarian would have to value every costs (even friendship, tiredness, energy,etc) to be able to get the accurate answer. Still, everyone value things differently since we all have different interests, so it might be a disagreement in utilitarian.
