Utilitarianism. Or maybe the course would actually be called "Teleological Ethics" course. Of course, I'm not voicing my opinion on whether or not that's right in this particular post, but I was just responding to your question. Actually, maybe it was rhetorical. :)
Yes, I am quite aware of utilitarianism. However, utilitarianism does not simply state that "anything is justified for a paycheck." Something surely can be justified at the expense of something else if the greater good is served. However, the word "anything" used above without qualifying it, except with for the trite "for a paycheck" falls far short of utilitarianism.
