According to Mill Utilitarianism is defined as the belief in which an action or actions can cause a person to be happy. More times than not the action is based from a consequence or outcome of particular outcome. If a certain action can bring the utmost amount of happiness or pleasure to the greatest number of people, then it is according to Mill the right thing to do. In my own opinion out of the three theories I think that the objective list theory can best relate to present day society. This theory mainly deals with knowledge and friendship. Objective list theory however can be more combatable with a bigger group of people instead of individuals.  I think that it is fair to say that a majority of the things on this list are things that people wish to have in their everyday lives. Through knowledge and relationships I think that happiness is gained.  By gaining more knowledge and gaining more friendships/relationships this opens up to the bigger picture of trying to work with a larger group of people.
