In an essay he wrote, called “On Liberty”, Mill’s main focus was the social liberty of mankind, and the limitations of power the government holds over society.

Women in the Mills of Lowell, Massachusetts In 1810, Francis Cabot Lowell returned from England. He brought with him plans for the first power loom textile factory in the U.S. He built the factory beside a waterfall on the Merrimack River. He did this so he could use waterpower to operate large looms to weave cloth. After a while, the factory turned a small farming village into a successful industrial town. When Lowell died, the factory was renamed in his honor. 90 percent of the workers were women

 Contrary to the beliefs of Marx and Engels in Mill’s chapter: “Of Individuality, as One of the Elements of Well-Being,” Mill outlines his argument in this chapter by stating that individuality allows a person to be unique, which brings in an aura of creativity, and “each person becomes more valuable to himself, and is therefore capable of being more valuable to others (Mill, pg. 62).” Mill also believes that individuality stimulates social progress.

John Stuart Mill was a renowned liberal philosopher. His essay On Liberty (Mill, 1859) gives an explanation of when it is acceptable for society to become involved in the affairs of a person, stressing the importance of freedom.

Sam Merten Professor Crow Paper 1 RD – 10/7/14 A Criticism of Utilitarianism John Stuart Mill, in Utilitarianism, introduces the idea entitled the “Greatest Happiness Principle” to be a view of morality such that “actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” He finds the only desirable end to be happiness and the avoidance of unhappiness or pain, therefore postulating that all other desired things are so because they

1. No, that’s not necessarily true. Utilitarianism requires one to do what produces the largest utility regardless of his motive. (Mill, 1990, p. 175) In this case according to Mill one should focus on the happiness of the few people that he’s dealing with (Mill, p. 175) as he cannot measure the effects of his action on the entire population. However, if one assumes that everyone will experience the exact same amount of pleasure and pain individually; the act of ordering from Thai Kitchen is right

Challenging morality and natural rights Finally, Mill's utilitarian approach dismisses paternalism on two crucial grounds: that of morality and natural rights. To Mill, it seems that coercive paternalism attempts to promote ideals and absolutes; to prevent all negative outcomes, and to eliminate bad choices. It claims that 'we are intractably irrational' and that 'we have a natural, even biological, tendency towards social conformity' (Conly, 2013, pp.7-9); that we are not seeking changes and improvements
