Rule Utilitarianism |- | Focus || The specific action right now || The general rule for society |- | Decision || "Should I lie to this person right now?" || "Is 'Honesty' a good rule for everyone?" |- | Flexibility || High (Everything depends on context) || Lower (Follow the rules) |- | Problem || Can justify "Unjust" acts (like killing 1 to save 5) || Can be "Rule-bound" even if it causes pain |} '''The Concept of "Aggregation"''': Analyzing why we "Sum up" happiness.
