On Liberty

John Stuart Mill

Sinopsis

On Liberty by John Stuart Mill On Liberty is a philosophical essay by the English philosopher John Stuart Mill. Published in 1859, it applies Mill's ethical system of utilitarianism to society and state.

Mill suggests standards for the relationship between authority and liberty. He emphasizes the importance of individuality, which he considers prerequisite to the higher pleasures—the summum bonum of utilitarianism. Furthermore, Mill asserts that democratic ideals may result in the tyranny of the majority. Among the standards proposed are Mill's three basic liberties of individuals, his three legitimate objections to government intervention, and his two maxims regarding the relationship of the individual to society.

On Liberty was a greatly influential and well-received work. Some classical liberals and libertarians have criticized it for its apparent discontinuity[specify] with Utilitarianism, and vagueness in defining the arena within which individuals can contest government infringements on their personal freedom of action.

The ideas presented in On Liberty have remained the basis of much political thought. It has remained in print since its initial publication. A copy of On Liberty is passed to the president of the British Liberal Democrats as a symbol of office.

Goodbye Anxiety Hello Happiness...

Gavin Moore

Almost one factor in our lives causes us pain or overwhelming emotions. One such factor
can be hard to determine and can be seen as inconceivable, among many others. These
emotions may be hard to identify, harder to grasp, and could lead to various unfavorable
events in our lives. Unless they are recognized for the problems they cause, and
appropriate care is offered as soon as they are conceived.
Anxiety, also termed by the common notion of concern, is one such thing in our lives that
affects us, daily or temporarily. It is that one factor that people need to be cautious of and
should make no fault in determining the cause of. The solutions that come forth after
conceiving the cause are also to be given crucial importance.
Some common questions that many people wonder: What is anxiety? What is the cure for
anxiety? Are there any symptoms to determine it? There are a lot of questions, but there
appear to be fewer solutions. Although these solutions can be determined over time and
implemented in our daily lives, doing so requires perseverance. The constant motivation
and drive are what makes it seem real in the end, but knowing the solutions that can aid
when implemented is one vital step towards happiness.
“Goodbye Anxiety, Hello Happiness” helps determine the different causes of anxiety in its
various forms, comparing it to other well-known notions and seeking out the differences.
It also aims at posing the necessary solutions to combat anxiety using the right practical
knowledge and methods.

Physical therapy is a healthcare profession dedicated to improving movement, restoring function, and alleviating pain in individuals affected by injury, illness, or disability. It plays a crucial role in rehabilitation, preventing further complications, and enhancing overall quality of life. By employing evidence-based techniques, physical therapists help patients regain mobility, reduce discomfort, and achieve optimal physical health. 
The origins of physical therapy can be traced back to ancient civilizations, where massage and exercise were used for healing. However, modern physical therapy emerged during the early 20th century, particularly in response to the need for rehabilitating soldiers injured in World War I. Since then, the field has evolved significantly, incorporating advanced scientific principles, innovative treatment modalities, and a multidisciplinary approach to patient care. 
A physical therapist is a highly trained healthcare professional specializing in diagnosing and treating movement disorders. Their role extends beyond rehabilitation, encompassing injury prevention, pain management, and patient education. Physical therapists work in diverse settings, including hospitals, private clinics, sports facilities, rehabilitation centers, and home healthcare services. They collaborate with physicians, occupational therapists, and other healthcare professionals to develop comprehensive treatment plans tailored to individual patient needs.
