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.

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. We can then use the principals he writes about to critically assess both sides of modern day policies. Mill begins by supporting the principle of justice.

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
