I’m studying for my Business class and don’t understand how to answer this. Can you help me study?

DISCUSSION 2:
In this module we will be discussing the concept of utilitarianism. After reviewing the the background materials, consider an ethical issue that occurred in a business setting that might be examined using utilitarian ethical principles and assess the situation from a utilitarian perspective. Comment on the usefulness and some of the problems with this approach in relation to evaluating situations from an ethical position.
In each discussion forum, students are expected to respond to the prompt by providing an informed, rigorous, and professional post. The initial post should be at least 150 or more words.
