John was raised from birth by his father for the primary purpose of progressing the utilitarian theories which both he and Bentham ascribed. Utilitarianism is an ethical theory holding that the right course of action is the one that maximises the overall "good".

    We all know that people have different points of view when it comes to their perceptions or opinions on different things. An example of that would most likely be, should our country be a presidential country like The United States of America or should our country be a parliamentary country like The United Kingdom? Of course, people would be having different thoughts on that, and they are going to come up with myriads of reasons to why they've come up with that answer. And for John Stuart Mill, everyone's opinion matters, especially the ones with the unpopular opinion.…
