Essays on Mill

‘Lowell Mills’ referred to collectively, is a reference to the series of mills and factories which were built in the city of Lowell. These factories and mills were unique for the time in that they combined the two separate disciplines of spinning and weaving under the same roof, rather than having them in separate buildings, which was a feature which helped to boost the mass production of cloth. By the time of the 1830s, it was estimated that roughly three-quarters of the work force in the Lowell factories were women. These combination mills came to be known as the ...

Mill's utilitarian argument supports Singer's utilitarian argument about the obligation of an individual to assist starving people that are in absolute poverty. Although the Mill’s explanation makes Singer’s argument look overdemanding, both philosophers have nearly the same understanding. For instance, Mill claims that people should do good not to impress or profit the world but to achieve self-happiness (Kowalski 177). In doing so, the individual gets to help the world or the society in general. Just like Singer, Mill gives an example where one has a lunch date but on the way, meets a child in need ...

What are some of the ideal structures that are currently in use today? Conduct a web search on four types of departments. Choose one department that is very large (more than 1000 sworn police officers); choose one that is considered large sized (more than 150 but less than 1000); choose a medium sized department (between 50 to 149 sworn officers) and finally a small department (less than 50 sworn officers). Go to each department’s website and find their Year-end Report. If one doesn’t exist for the department you choose, try to find another agency in the same ...

New technical inventions gave possibilities for female factory workers therefore an employment in Lowell's mill can be regarded as a way of training and education. I would rather have taken a job in Lowell's mill because I can consider such a job in a textile manufacture as a way to assist the family. It helps to support the family budget, sending money home. Female workers of the manufactures have found a new sense of solidarity with their peers, also it was possible to get a new female identity, which was no less important than economic independence. Employment led to ...

According to an American philosopher named Paul Elmer More, a just society is when “justice is ‘the inner state ofsoulundercommand ofwill to righteousnessreason guidesdesires obey’” (Rawls 1972). In other words, More is echoing Plato in the sense that justice has to be for the betterment of the soul by one seeking out what is right whether or not it coincides with their own personal desires. While this ideology is admirable, however, it has yet to be realized in this modern world as many people appear to care more about what they want regardless of the negative consequences their actions ...

In the year 2001, the Enron Corporation, an American energy company, went bankruptcy due to lack of proper and misguided information. This contributed to the firm failure and largest bankruptcy recognized in American history by the year 2002. This affected stock market and hence stakeholders and employees received limited returns. The Stuart Mill’s theory of Utilitarianism explains the doctrine of having right actions if they are meant and useful and benefit the majority (Sellars, 2016). I believe Mill’s theory and philosophy. Regarding the Enron 2002 scandal, the theory relates to the actions taken by the management of ...

The different perceptions of who was to blame for the aftermath of the Homestead Steel Mill Strike of 1892 are evident in Emma Goldman and Henry Clay Frick’s accounts on the case. On one hand, political activist Goldman informs her readers that the incident involved protests that ended with the “slaughter of steel-workers by Pinkertons” after the latter group, to control the former, “opened fire, without warning” (Doc A par.5). In his book, “Give Me Liberty!” Eric Foner explains that the mentioned Pinkertons were “300 private policemen” that the Homestead Steel Mill officials hired from the “Pinkerton Detective ...

Introduction

Business leaders across the globe have value statements that guide them throughout their lives. Core values are characterized as things of worth and serve as guideposts for associations on initiative and basic leadership (Browning, 2009). Core values speak to the center needs of a person’s or an organization’s way of life. At its most fundamental, a value statement depicts the general motivation behind the individual or group. It reveals insight into a person’s values and sympathy toward other people and activities for survival. The value statement is a convincing portrayal of the state and capacity of ...

Since the beginning of time people used to have various views and standards for the way that everything around them should be. Throughout the history there existed many examples of the expression of ideas contradictory to the norm and all terrible consequences of such actions. Thomas Kuhn in his book, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, made an attempt to describe the possible apprehension to change. It was mainly focused on the scientific world and the historic nature of the educational research. Any research was considered to be grounded upon one or more scientific achievements that had to be certainly ...

Marketing metrics are those measures and parameter that make a quantitative assessment for measuring, comparing, monitoring, analyzing, and tracking organizational marketing efforts with respect to production and performance. Marketing analysts use marketing metrics for comparing their performance with different companies despite the variation between their business size and nature. Marketing metrics play a crucial role in facilitating an organization in order to measure its performance against its predefined organizational goals. Although there are an extensive array of marketing metrics available, but Mitch-Mil has decided to use the following metric in the relative marketing categories with respect to their relatively ...

Question 1 Kant talks about two kinds of imperatives that create groundwork for metaphysics of morals. The two kinds of imperatives that Kant talks about include; hypothetical and categorical imperatives. Hypothetical imperative focuses on the consequences of an action that a person takes. A person can lie to save a life which is allowed under the hypothetical imperative. On the other hand, categorical imperative is the moral obligation that is absolute. Categorical imperative focuses on people acting on a principal that is deemed rational to all people in the society. According to Kant’s deontological ethics, morality is measured ...

Theoretical Essay

In the world of law punishment (alternative name – penalty) is considered as an “infliction of some kind of pain or loss upon a person for misdeed (i.e., the transgression of a law or command).”1 Penalty may take different forms and vary from forced labor, flogging, body mutilation, fines and imprisonment to the capital punishment. The punishment has been very retributive, mostly in the form of revenge, during the pre-modern ages and usually the prosecution was executed by the victims or their families. There was not any proportion between the quantity and quality of wrongdoing and the punishment. The ...

Harding Davis paints a vivid picture of inequality that exists in the society. The author uses imagery to make the reader aware of the injustices that occur without their attention. The story feels real due to the author's use of imagery while at the same time invoking a need for reform in the mind of the reader. For instance, Mitchell and Kirby call the mill “a den.” People usually associate a den with entrapping as well as the negative events. Most of the time, people who visit alcohol and drug dens suffer from ill health. There is the likelihood ...

As with any significant new technology, drones have changed the human experience. Nevertheless, it is important to also take into account the ethical aspects that these modifications may have on humanity. In this sense, one of the greatest factors would be the invasion of privacy, which drones allow in a more discreet manner. Furthermore, they may also be used for wars, helping combat enemy troops from far away, without having to sacrifice one’s own men. As expected, this would lead different ethical theories to have various positions on the subject, especially deontology and utilitarianism. As a whole, paradoxically ...

Utilitarianism is the direction in philosophy, the basic principles of which were set out by Jeremy Bentham in his work "Introduction to the principles of morals and legislation" (1780). The system of utilitarianism was developed in its classical form by John Stuart Mill. Mill formulated the basic arguments of utilitarianism opposing the many critics and, in particular, the followers of Kant. Kant and his followers viewed utilitarianism as egoistic behavior of human beings that was result of absence of their moral principles. That is why the scholars of this direction called the doctrine of utilitarianism worthy of swine. It ...

There are many different ways to think about how to lead the good life. One of these is Utilitarianism is one of these schools of morality, of which John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham were two of the greatest exponents. This arose as a critique of deontological moral theories, like that of Immanuel Kant. Utilitarians believed that “actions are moral if they produce the greatest benefit” (Week 131 Notes 2); as such, both Mill and Bentham took into account the consequences of the action, not just the action itself, in order to establish that which would lead to the ...

One of the most common moral philosophies in the world today is utilitarianism. It was developed by John Stuart Mill and Jeremy Bentham. Utilitarianism seeks to determine the moral stand of actions by looking at their effects and consequences (Mill 43). There are two different types of utilitarianism, act utilitarianism, and rule utilitarianism. Act utilitarianism focuses on specific individual actions, for example, the murder of a political figure. Rule utilitarianism, on the other hand, focuses on the action as a whole such as murder (Mill 44). According to the utilitarian’s, morality is supposed to better life by increasing ...

Andrew Carnegie and the Making of US Steel

Background Andrew Carnegie was born in Scotland in 1835, to his parents William and Margaret Carnegie. They moved to the United States of America in 1848, when Andrew was aged thirteen years. On arriving and settling in the Allegheny City, near Pittsburg, Andrew's father secured a job in a cotton factory, with Andrew playing the role of a bobbin boy in the same organization. One year after arriving in the United States, Andrew got a job with the Pittsburg Telegraph office as a messenger, a job he did very well, so well that he was promoted to the position ...

Utilitarianism, which is the greatest happiness principle, considers that a good action is an action that paves the way to production of happiness, and a bad action lead to producing unhappiness. The only factor that plays a significant role is consequence or result of action, and most significant consequence is happiness or unhappiness. Utilitarianism theory does not require somehow certain knowledge regarding future, instead it demands that when individuals act, they should be aware of what they want they desire the outcome to be first. The theory is of the view that it is only possible to judge wrong ...

John Stuart Mill extensively articulates the ethical theory in his text Utilitarianism (1861). Mill’s Greatest Happiness Principle claims that actions can be considered moral if they encourage utility and immoral if they do the opposite. He stipulates that a man’s action should aim at promoting overall happiness even though it is difficult to predict the future. Mill states that one should evaluate the consequences of their actions and act in a way that will have the best results for the society. Mill says,” The creed which accepts as the foundations of morals “utility” or the “greatest happiness ...

It is always a question of concern to identify strong moral behavior, employee consideration, and ethics in corporate culture and modern CEOs. The news relating to Aron Feuerstein provides an example of a CEO who shows great ethical and community awareness in the modern era. The ethical and community work by Feuerstein in the aftermath of a fire in the business unit was especially noticeable. Feuerstein is considered as a moral hero; he kept his employees on payroll when the company mill was burnt in 1995 (Kile). Aron at the age of 70 years of age was in a ...

Definition of Coatings

Coating is the process whereby one material is used to continuously cover another surface. According to Dewo et al. (2015), coating is a surface modification approach that involves the addition of a new material onto the surface of a substance or element that is at risk of corrosion.

Formula: Rusting of Iron.

iron + oxygen + water ==> hydrated iron(III) oxide (RUST) 4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) + xH2O(l) ==> 2Fe2O3.xH2O(s)

Different Types of Coatings

The process of coating utilizes multiple films of coatings as primers and top layers. The purpose of each layer is particular; however, the layers often interact with one another (Özçam et ...

“In the comparatively early state of human advancement in which we now live, a person cannot, indeed, feel that entireness of sympathy with all others which would make any real discordance in the general direction of their conduct in life impossible, but already a person in whom the social feeling is at all developed cannot bring himself to think of the rest of his fellow creatures as struggling rivals with him for the means of happiness, whom he must desire to see defeated in their object in order that he may succeed in his” (Mill, 121). This passage focuses ...

The principle of utility according to John Stuart Mill can be divided into two parts from which he attempts to explain and prove it. Mill begins by claiming that it would be impossible to prove a principle by mere reasoning. As he attempts to prove the utility principle he begins by claiming that the proof that desire exists would be from the evidence that people actually desire something. Therefore, it justified the fact that happiness is good and that people desire happiness as one criterion of morality. Mill then has to show how happiness is the sole criterion of ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

According to the quantitative hedonism theory, the duration, quantity and intensity of all pleasures have equivalent magnitudes of goodness. Bentham argues that the entire life of mankind is ruled by pain or pleasure at any point in time. Pain and pleasure collaboratively dictate what every person is supposed to do. Bentham argues that “nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure”. (Bentham 8)According to this statement, he implies that the whole of life of mankind is usually defined by pleasure or pain at any given time; that if an individual is not ...

John Rawls is a great proponent of the natural rights theory. With his theory of the veil of ignorance, Rawls is of the idea that everyone has some rights that accrue to them by nature. Natural right is a philosophical perspective developed by Hobbes, and it portends that all living beings have rights, and these rights would make an individual act or fail to act in a certain way. The veil of ignorance by John Rawls is premised on the inviolable rights of an individual; this makes him fall under the natural rights theoretical concept. Rawls argues that to ...

The issue of moral community is a hotly debated topic by philosophers, especially in the field of ethics. It is paramount to realize that moral community refers to the beings that are held in high regard by an individual as opposed to a community or grouping of the people who act in a moral way. The “beings” in this context refers to the issues that a person has to consider their rightness before acting in a way that could affect them. For example, a person about to hit a wall may not be concerned whether it is right to ...

Abstract

The modern bureaucratic system replaced the previous patriarchal system which had some flaws that slowed down the further development of the society. The administrative bodies make decisions and realize them, resorting to enforcement matters when it’s needed, within their authority. The bureaucracy tries to satisfy the needs of those people that it administrates, while those people are taking care of other things: production of material and spiritual goods, bringing up the new generation, health care, and their own professional and personal development. The bureaucracy acts in behalf of those people who empowered it to manage the public affairs. ...

Economics is an important discipline that concerns an individual’s daily activities. However, as much as the importance of economics to the people and the daily lives of individuals, it can be considered to have been influenced by other disciplines. Economics is a vast discipline that covers a lot of aspects that are important. As a result, the wide scope of knowledge covered by economics comes from multiple disciplines that are studies. Political science can be considered as one the discipline that influences economics largely (Malthus, Donald Winch, and Patricia James 194). Economics covers a wide scope of knowledge ...

The questions on whether or not States should legalize abortion has been a debatable issue among policymakers, scholars, and theorists as well, the same applies to the notion of mercy-killing or Euthanasia. Evidently, religious doctrines and existing codes of ethics forbid the ending of human life, from the point of conception to that of old age. To that end, States endorse laws that dictate the ideal punishments for murder; by that logic, even those who opt for suicide break the law but the fact that they are dead makes it impossible to have them serve a jail term. Thus ...

Utilitarianism is a theory that describes the expected behavior or conduct of an individual for the achievement of the best outcome possible. It entails distinguishing an action as right or wrong depending on whether it results in happiness or sadness respectively. The theory was developed by English philosopher Jeremy Bentham and his economist counterpart John Stuart Mill around the 18th and the 19th century. The theory, in contrast to ethical theories which determine the rightfulness or wrongfulness of without considering its outcome, states that an ill-motivated action can breed a fair result. Mill believes that an act should only ...

One down side of non-renewable energy sources which have been widely used in the past centuries up till now is the air pollution they ...

According to Mills, the happiness achieved by a person varies and can be classified into two; lower ranked pleasure and a higher ranked pleasure. In differential capacity, using the "Utilitarianism” moral theory, higher pleasures are intellectually defined while the lower ranked pleasures can be assumed to be the sensual ones. According to his ethical description in the utilitarianism, those acts which maximizes pleasure are more suited for human acceptance than those which do not. Common things like food, sleep, sex, beverages and talking are less likely to increase pleasure compared to intellectual like reading and good novel, brainstorming to ...

Utilitarianism postulates that a moral act should be that which aims to produce a good result for all in the society. Borrowing from the utility principle, a moral good is achieved by having a rational balance between a something which is not moral but is good that having something which is not moral but evil (Mill 2006). According to utilitarians, an act is morally good when it produces the greatest margin of good course but for all in the society. This means that utilitarianism seeks to ensure the general good than individual good. To this effect, every moral decision ...

I have recently attended a lecture on women’s rights given by a local female activist. She brainstormed about the issue of lack of women’s rights and why it was so important to recognize it and start working on it. She stated that until the time when women are able to feel comfortable in their workplaces and get paid as much as men do, our society cannot call itself liberal. This paper proves that the problem of female discrimination is a serious flaw on our society as it gets on the way of many women’s career development. ...

Introduction

Mill’s Conception of Liberty Mill’s conception of liberty states that there exists an area of freedom within which an individual is allowed to develop their individuality without any interference either from law or society (Fred, 1984). Mill aims to ascertain the principle that people can exercise own free choice in living. He affirms that an action or practice is right especially when compared with an alternative approach or action if it results in a possible greatest happiness to that individual. From the conception of the liberty principle, the liberty exercised by an individual should be indefeasible and ...

John Stuart Mill was an English philosopher from the nineteenth century whose writing’s had a great influence in many areas including ethics, philosophy, and the way people thought about politics and the ability to reform, or change, society.

Explain the connections between pleasure, contemplation, and judgment in aesthetic appreciation. Aesthetics is the branch of philosophy; it is type of quality hypothesis or axiology, which is the investigation of sensory or sensori-passionate qualities, called judgments of sentiment and taste. Aesthetics is connected with the logic of art. Style is once in a while called "the investigation of magnificence". Judgments of aesthetics esteem depend on our capacity to separate at a tactile level. Aesthetics looks at what makes something wonderful, glorious, appalling, fun, adorable, senseless, enthralling, bombastic, empowering, grating, agreeable, exhausting, comical, or disastrous. Tactile separation is connected to ...

Proponents of utilitarianism envision a situation where human actions are judged by their consequences. According to Bentham, the best moral action must always maximize utility. Simply put, actions should ensure they bring about the greatest happiness among human beings. An action that does not promote happiness among people therefore does not meet this threshold. Bentham further argues that such actions must involve the two aspects of happiness; quality and quantity. Consequences, therefore, not legality, should form the basis of justification of actions by humans. Stuart Mill supports this proposition by arguing that bringing or increasing pleasure among humans should ...

Women aren’t that dissimilar from men, although they face different biological, cultural and social pressure, some pragmatic women concede and act in response well to such pressures. The facts remain that the contemporary society treats women in a different ways as compared to men.

In her work, Nakamoto begins by describing a picture of an unfortunate family that relies on Shige wife to Kanenari for survival. The writer's ...

John Stuart Mill was a philosopher who rejected the notion of psychological egoism. In essence, Mill expressed support for utilitarianism under a hedonistic belief. Hedonism in this case “implies that the mental state of pleasure is the only thing having intrinsic value (and the mental state of pain is the only intrinsic evil),” (Brink, 2014). It is the idea that everyone is pursuing a state of happiness, and should always behave and make choices that will bring them closer to that point of happiness. A person should pursue decisions that will also contribute to the greatest happiness of all ...

Research Question: What should be done about abortion? Thesis Statement: Abortion is impermissible except when performed to save, not to take, life. I. Abortion as a Utilitarianistic Act Mothers who opted for abortion often base their decisions on factors that are favorable to them personally, making their utilitarianist philosophy essentially egoistic. Thus, a mother who opted to perform an abortion is essentially an egoistic utilitarianist. Consequently, utilitarianism suffers from the problem of failing to respect the separateness of persons; that is, that of the mother and that of the unborn child (Jacobson 168). ...

Introduction

Neoliberalism is both an economic and political ideology which proposes a new way in which states are restricted from interfering with the economic affairs and general day to day dealings of their private citizens. This concept was developed by Adam Smith in 1770 when he posited that government should not be allowed to be involved in the economy of the country and initially it was called liberalism. This stance borrowed heavily from the laissez faire principle which required that traders should be let free to negotiate their own terms of engagement. Adam’s conception was challenged in ...
