USE JOHN STUART MILL CHAPTER 2 Utilitarianism and Jeremy Bentham Chapters 1-4 of An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation as the main sources for the essay. These are the quotes I want you to use from JOHN STUART MILL CHAPTER 2 Utilitarianism “Actions are right in proportion as they tend to promote happiness, wrong as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness.” AND “Human beings have faculties more elevated than the animal appetites, and when once made conscious of them, do not regard anything [else] as happiness.” Jeremy Bentham Chapters 1-4 of An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation QUOTES I WANT YOU TO USE “Nature has placed mankind under the governance of two sovereign masters, pain and pleasure. It is for them alone to point out what we ought to do, as well as to determine what we shall do.” AND “By utility is meant that property in any object, whereby it tends to produce benefit, advantage, pleasure, good, or happiness, (all this in the present case comes to the same thing) or (what comes again to the same thing) to prevent the happening of mischief, pain, evil, or unhappiness to the party whose interest is considered: if that party be the community in general, then the happiness of the community: if a particular individual, then the happiness of that individual.”-Make sure if the quotes I gave to you come up as block quotes, then set them up as block quotesREMEMBER PLEASE MAKE THE ESSAY PRECISE AND UNDERSTANDING
