Mill and Nietzsche have different ideas on how people act towards their actions. Mill focuses on the end purpose of human behaviors to create happiness for a group of people rather than an individual happiness. He defines Utilitarianism as human’s actions that lead to happiness.

Nietzsche sees man similar to this‚ He calls man a “bridge" rather than an “end". The important part of a man is his potential. Man is striving‚ but for something different.
