Defend the work of John Stuart Mill, explaining how his work could be used to contribute to debates about power and/or justice in today’s world.

The answer may identify problems with J.S. Mill’s work and/or reasons that the work has lost some of its relevance, but the overall argument should look for and develop the lines of debate and key ideas that are regarded as important and relevant to this day (i.e. liberal democracy, principles of liberalism and sexual equality).
Use examples of current political issues that could be fruitfully discussed using J.S. Mill’s work. The answer should make use of one or more primary sources (J.S. Mill (1991 [1859]) On Liberty (New Haven and London: Yale University Press)), and one or more secondary sources such as Kelly, P. (2017) J. S. Mill on Liberty. Political Thinkers and Boucher, D. & Kelly, P. (2017) Political Radicalism: Introduction to Part 4. Political Thinkers.
