Paternalism is an idea from political science: The idea is to limit autonomy of a person or group of people. It is also done against their will. People claim that this is done to protect them.  Paternalism can also imply that the behavior is against or regardless of the will of a person, or also that the behavior expresses an attitude of superiority. Paternalism, paternalistic and paternalist have all been used as a pejorative for example in the context of societal and/or political realms and references. People such as John Stuart Mill think paternalism can be appropriate towards children. He wrote: Paternalism towards adults is sometimes thought of as treating them as if they were children. Mill shaped the idea of paternalism, in the 19th century. He took the concept from political science. He uses the pater familias of Ancient Rome: This term described the man who was head of the family, and responsible for it. In most cases, it was the oldest free man in the household. Mill says that paternalistic actions can only be justified in the case that they reduce the harm done to other people than the person acting, and that there are no other means that are equally effective. John Stuart Mill gave an example: There is a person who wants to cross a bridge, but the bridge is damaged. The person crossing the bridge is a foreigner, who does not speak the language, so there is no way to tell him, that the bridge is damaged. Mill says that it would be permissible to stop the person from crossing the bridge. This is done to find out if the person knows that the bridge is damaged. If he knows, and still wants to use the bridge, for example to jump off the bridge and commit suicide, then the person should not be stopped, according to Mill. This view is called "soft paternalism". Another view is that there are circumstances, where he should be prevented from using the bridge, for example to commit suicide. This view is called "hard paternalism".  A welfare state can also be paternalistic. In that context people talk about negative paternalism and positive paternalism. In negative paternalism the idea is to protect the person against immediate
