this principle prioritizes the development of individuality over social progress” is somewhat valid. It is only somewhat valid because Mill prioritizes the self– development of the individual in order to help society progress rather than instead of the progression of society. He believes that freedom is designed to protect individualism and that in a state of nature there would be no social contract because of the concept of social good. This concept conveys that because people receive protection
as what society believes to be correct is disobedient. Without this disapproval or refusal, change never occurs. This leaves humans content to falling behind to the passage of time. If nobody ever challenges human behavior, progress is impossible. Consequently, societal progress is solely dependent on disobedience to the consistency of human behavior. Most often, people find comfort in numbers. When a person falls into a group of people and their mentality, one feels safe. Groups are generally defined
revisit goals and gauge the client’s progress. The social worker was supposed to identify how the progress had been tracked over six weeks, and identify the client’s observable behavior changes. The social worker was also supposed to identify and discuss any obstacles or barriers that the client came across during her time in the assisted living facility. The Process Observer The social worker applied appropriate knowledge when discussing a progress interview. The social worker had to think back about
internet for up to 54 percent of his or her daily communication (Kotzanikolaoa, 2017). Over half of the communication taking place is nonverbal, internet-based. That’s why if the internet disappeared today, there would be a significant loss in the social life, which is highly communication-dependent. Gerhard Lenski’s theorization about “sociocultural evolution” is defined as “"the process by which structural reorganization is affected through time, eventually producing a form or structure which is
Since universal suffrage, women have made tremendous economic and social progress in Canada. Canada has been called "a world leader in the promotion and protection of women's rights and gender equality," (Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada). Yet a hundred years after universal suffrage, gender disparity continues to exist in Canada. Gender disparity is evident in the political, economic, and social spheres. Political disparity refers to the lack of adequate representation of women in

Although a very valued asset, the cost to attain a college degree for most students includes getting loans, grants from the government, and sometimes even private loans. Most of these loans come at a high price for students as the interest structure for
Gender inequality plays a critical role when it comes to social progress. As a woman, I have seen the struggles for equality to men in many aspects. Regardless of the great strides that women have achieved today, it is still hard to find equal opportunity and to be fairly recognized.

Whether disobedience is a valuable human trait that promotes social progress is a question answered through history. Some people may say that disobedience is not needed for any social progress, but it is definitely through disobedience that we have made most of our progress. An example of this would be Adolf Hitler. He disobeyed a treaty made between Germany and other countries, such as Great Britain and France by building up his army and moving them into the Rhineland.

philosopher and economist John Stuart Mill “social and scientific progress occurs through vigorous debate involving opposing points of view. To generate different points of view, people must have freedom of thought and speech. Progress cannot occur if the majority uses its power to suppress minority viewpoints.” These points are markers of scientific and social progress for an ideal civilization. This does not mean that there are ways to achieve only scientific progress by doing the complete opposite of these
Growing up, every Sunday my family and I would attend church. For the first few years of my life, I only knew one religion, Christianity. As I got older, I started recognizing that there was more than one religion, but I never could understand what they were and what they meant.
