When analyzing a historical or fictional figure, it is important to develop a scale or benchmark by which individuals can be judged. When the scale by which a character is being evaluated is based on morality, it becomes increasingly difficult to develop because morality is not universally accepted or an eternal concept. Since morality is continually evolving, it is important to evaluate the character based on the most universally accepted concept of morality of their time. In this essay, Idi Amin, the third president of Uganda, will be evaluated based on the morality of his actions as a leader of Uganda. In order to develop a valid basis for evaluation, the school of thought developed by John Stuart Mill, a prominent English philosopher of the 19th century, will be used. Mill wrote many famous works that are still influential to this day; his most famous work, Utilitarianism, is where the concept of morality is being derived from for this evaluation. Since Idi Amin is being evaluated by how he used his political and military power, a quote by Mill about the use of power was chosen to evaluate Amin. The quote by John Stuart Mills as a basis for the evaluation of Amin is as follows, “The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.” It can be seen based on this quote that Idi Amin stands on the wrong side of…

second rebuttal is the lack of political governance that globalization brings with it to developing nations. This can be seen in Phiona’s life as well as Precious’s life.
