Kant's principle sits well in this example because it shows that women were not treated equal as all humanity should be. .
Bentham/Mill's Principle says to create the greatest good (and eliminate the most pain and suffering) for the greatest number. When I personally hear this principle I immediately think of Martin Luther King. He fought for what is right. He saw that there was so much evil, pain, and suffering in his time from all the racism that was going on. He sat there and watched as African American people were mistreated. He saw his people get beaten, killed, enslaved, and segregated from all things that whites were able to do. The African American people were forced to go to different bathrooms, different stores, and had to sit in the back of the busses simply because they were "black." When Mr. King gave his "I Have a Dream" speech he helped change everything that was going on. His speech helped create the greatest good for the greatest number of people just like Bentham/Mill's principle states. In the same way, Rosa Parks did the exact same thing on December 1, 1955. This African American woman who worked as a seamstress, boarded this Montgomery City bus to go home from work. On that bus on that day, Rosa Parks initiated a new era in the American quest for freedom and equality. She sat near the front of the bus, just behind the 10 seats reserved for whites. Although she was arrested, she helped create the greatest good because after she was arrested the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the segregation law was unconstitutional and the Montgomery buses were integrated. Another incident that Bentham/Mill's principle can be applied to is the women becoming NFL referees. In the course of history there has never been a female referee. This is sexist in many ways but it all leads to the fact that there are not professional female football players, so why would there be a female referee? Well, this past year Sarah Thomas changed all of that by becoming the first female NFL referee in the history of the sport.
