Document Summary
You will be writing a few pages (no required length) Dr. brody really likes to emphasize classic philosophers. Focus on mill/pay a lot of attention to him. I punch dr. brody in the face and it gives him a jaw fracture. Is seco(cid:374)dary a(cid:374)d does(cid:374)"t result directly fro(cid:373) a(cid:374) actio(cid:374) Because i"m so cool, children follow my example. These children following my example are an indirect harm. This distinction is important because mill believes that indirect harm has less stake on how one should be punished. Cares about the amount of utility we produce in society. Believes the prevention of direct harms is a greater good than upholding somebody"s liberty. Believes that upholding a person"s liberty is greater than restricting indirect harms; thinks there"s enough societal punishment to punish them. When you"re harming somebody else"s rights against their will. When somebody fails to do his/her fair share demanded by them from society.
