es.say in which you do all of the following in a cohesive es.say:Explain how a utilitarian or
an effective altruist might say is the right action for the society to take in the following case
(read attached document):Case study #5 in Regional Ethics Bowl Cases 2022Assume that
the reader is unfamiliar with this particular way of thinking through a moral case, so it will
be best to explain what it is to be a utilitarian and/or an effective altruist before discussing
application to the case. Though there is not one single correct response, you will be graded
on the depth and accuracy in your application of utilitarianism and/or effective
altruism.Make sure to define any key terms and concepts, including the distinction between
quantity and quality of pleasures. Use concrete examples, when useful, to elucidate key
elements of Mill’s and effective altruists’ views. Assume that the reader is unfamiliar with
Mill and effective altruism.Purpose of Assignmentdemonstrate a clear, in-depth
understanding of the content through accurate and concise writing; andengage with the text
through appropriate quoting and citation (any major citation format is acceptable, e.g. APA,
MLA).Given the purposes of this assignment, it is important that you provide clear
definitions of key terms, explain concepts and theories in detail and with examples when
helpful, and demonstrate your understanding by providing these explanations in your own
words whenever possible (instead of quoting). My recommendation is to demonstrate your
understanding of the reading through selective quoting (in other words, keep quoting to a
minimum) and when quoting, be sure to explain what the quote means and how it connects
to the rest of the discussion.For additional information on expectations for this assignment,
refer to the grading rubric.Submission Guidelines1 inch margins, double-spaced, 12-point

the default setting on your word processor).Pa.per must be at least three full pages and
