Utilitarianism/ Mills
" In an improving start of the human mind, the influences are constantly changing in the increase, which tend to generate in each individual a feeling of unity with all the rest; which feeling, if perfect, would make him never think of or desire, any beneficial condition for himself, in the benefits which they are not included." What Mill is stating, is that the human mind is always being influenced whether it is good or bad. By this man feels that he is apart of the group (unity). By man being influenced, he is constantly changing his perception on life and improving the quality of his life.

Mill's quotes supports and defends his own views on what can improve the human mind. But, who is to say that man has to follow and order/unity. " In plain words, it says that it is the ultimate approval of the theory/doctrine. That brings up another issue, who's to say that people really benefit from persuasions. Chapter three of, On Liberty and Utilitarianism Mill brings up the issue of individuality and utility. Man doesn't, because he has free will and that is why morality plays a role in the theory of influence. Man is constantly changing his state of happiness. It is based on our morals whether or not we choose to conform to a unity or stand out as an individual. " Man searches to be happy through the influences of others. This point is made obvious in the title of chapter three, " of the Ultimate Sanction of the Principle of Utility. " This, meaning that man has the right to approve or disapprove in the theory or influences of his choice. I agree with Mill because another will always influence man and yet he can still be an individual or be in a unity. I feel that Mill has the right to challenge people's ideas and how they benefit from this.
