The primary focus of
On Liberty
is to stress the importance for self preservation. Because of the time of his writing, a time which was producing more republics throughout Europe, Mill's concern is less about an all-too powerful sovereign and more about the "tyranny of the majority."
Mill's "civil liberty" gets at the power/authority/control of the sovereign over the people. In other words, the creation and passing of laws that protect us from harming one another, in a physical sense or the taking of another's property. His meaning of "social liberty," however, seems to mean how people (majority)
prefer
others to behave in civilization. This seems almost like "social norms" to me and that Mill is concerned that a majority preference could suppress a member of the minority from speaking his/her views.
Later in
On Liberty
, Mill expresses that citizens do not need to be held accountable for any action they do so long as the action only pertains to or "harms" only them. Any actions against another individual(s) are subject to punishment (Mill, 178).
It seems that this tyranny of the majority indicates that we are all subject to what most of society wishes, whether majority is literally understood as fifty percent plus one of the entire population, or the majority of the
active
segment of the population (excluding non-participants in decision making), or whomever makes themselves the most
accepted
part of society (Mill, 8).
I find these explanations of the meaning of majority to be interesting, particularly the latter. Certainly, the Affordable Care Act (ACA) was not a blessing of either the majority of the American public, nor those who are active in taking part in government. Instead, the ACA was lobbied for, and signed into law by those groups who have been accepted as the majority.
One of the aspects of democracy that I try to impress on students in my classroom is the principle of "majority rules, minority rights." In essence, although the majority rule needs to prevail, those citizens who have not aligned with the views of the majority shall not lose their rights. This seems to be what Mill was preferring, or at least desiring to demonstrate the need for when he cautioned of the "tyranny of the majority." Mill's perspectives apply very much to current events in America. The recent permissions of same sex marriage and the legalization of the use of and allowance of small possessions of marijuana seem to be in line with Mill's thinkings of "let the individual do what they want so long as they do not harm others."

CHAPTER 7: Power and Politics
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, students will be able to:
Describe the discipline of political science and explain what it is concerned with.
Define democracy.
Describe the kind of democracy that exists in the United States.
List the branches of the U.S. government.
Explain the source of each branch’s power and how that power is exercised.
Politics, Political Science, and Government Power
A distinguished American political scientist, Harold Lasswell, defined politics as “who gets what, when, and how.” “The study of politics,” he said, “is the study of influence and the influential. The influential are those who get the most of what there is to get. . . . Those who get the most are the elite; the rest are mass.”1 He went on to define political science as the study of “the shaping and sharing of power.” Admittedly, Lasswell’s definition of political science is very broad. Indeed, if we accept Lasswell’s definition of political science as the study of power, then political science includes cultural, economic, social, and personal power relationships—topics that we have already discussed in chapters on anthropology, economics, sociology, and psychology.
politics
the study of power
Although some political scientists have accepted Lasswell’s challenge to study power in all its forms in society, most limit the definition of political science to the study of government and how individuals influence government action. This chapter focuses primarily on the study of government and how individuals influence government action in the United States.

Freedom
01/21/2020
Introduction
Hearing of the word freedom would make one think a lot especially in relation to the things that happen in our society’s today’s. This is because to me freedom refers to the situation where one is able to do whatever he or she feels like doing without the interference of anyone. To different people in the society, freedom could mean having the freedom to speak whatever they want, freedom of religion, freedom of assembly, and freedom of expression. For a nation such as the United States, having freedom of expression means citizens have the right to give their opinions publicly without anyone’s interference including the government. Under the United States constitution, everyone has the right to freedom. The Cambridge dictionary defines freedom as “the condition or right of being able or allowed to do, say, think, etc. whatever you want to, without being controlled or limited”. Others have defined freedom as the state of being not in prison while others referred to freedom as the rights provided in the constitution and the bill of rights. There are many meanings which have been put forward to explain freedom and that is why it is difficult to find one exact definition.
Currently, we are thriving in a democratic society where there are laws are regulations that govern how you as a citizen should behave and conduct yourself. First of all, here your freedom is already being limited because you cannot behave however you want. In a civilized society, the freedoms of the people are limited and restricted using legislations as a means of tyranny.
How living in a civilized society limits freedom
It is clear that the constitution of the United States provides for the right to freedom for every citizen. And for most people, freedom has always been associated with the relationship between the government and its people. Whenever the government goes hard on some issues, citizens cry of their freedom. (Malinowski 3) says the greatest threat to freedom is democracy. Freedom expands to self-ownership, which is something we have lost in the current society. Private property is self-ownership including something one worked hard for to achieve. Therefore, does taxation allow for freedom?
The fact that citizens are indebted to society explains the claim that people do not have freedom in society. Man is controlled by legislations that are tyrannical. Therefore, is the definition that freedom means to do whatever you want without being controlled valid? People are not indebted to society, but rather, they are indebted to actions that are meant to protect others from harm in order to co-exist in a society that accommodates everyone. For (Machiavelli 85), freedom of man is expressed with human independence, ability to make ethical decisions, and the ability of man not to be reduced into a playing toy by world rulers and forces. Forcing people to sacrifice part of what they have w.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Social and Civil Liberty.docx
1. J.S. Mill’s Social and Civil Liberty
In the very first paragraph of On Liberty (Chapter 1), Mill states: The subject of this Essay is
not the so-called Liberty of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of
Philosophical Necessity; but Civil, or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power
which can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual. A question seldom
stated, and hardly ever discussed, in general terms, but which profoundly influences the
practical controversies of the age by its latent presence, and is likely soon to make itself
recognised as the vital question of the future. (OL, Chpt. 1, p. 2) Further down, Mill also
states: The object of this Essay is to assert one very simple principle, as entitled to govern
absolutely the dealings of society with the individual in the way of compulsion and control,
whether the means used be physical force in the form of legal penalties, or the moral
coercion of public opinion. That principle is, that the sole end for which mankind are
warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their
number, is self-protection. That the only purpose for which power can be rightfully
exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to
others. . . . The only part of the conduct of any one, for which he is amenable to society, is
that which concerns others. In the part which merely concerns himself, his independence is,
of right, absolute. Over himself, over his own body and mind, the individual is sovereign.
Given this passage (see full passage in reading) and others, as well as the class readings,
what is the essay On Liberty about? What does Mill mean by “civil” and “social” liberty, and
what are some of the issues that make these meanings of liberty important? Also, what is
Mill trying to convey when he borrows from De Tocqueville referring to “tyranny of the
majority” )? Does any of this resonate in our society today?#J.S #Mills #Social #Civil
