The greatest good principle is the idea that if an action benefits the greatest number of people, then the action is ethical. For example, in a situation where attempting to save one person's life would endanger the lives of many people, it would be ethical to not attempt to save that one person's life. The greatest good principle is applied to the concept of war, where, lets say, 1,000 soldiers may die, however it would keep the entire country safe. However, the greatest good principle also cannot be misapplied. For example, you cannot justify taking the life of one person so many people would enjoy economic benefits.
