Read this passage written by british imperialist cecil rhodes. “i contend that we are the first race in the world, and the more of the world we inhabit the better it is for the human race… if there be a god, i think that what he would like me to do is to paint as much of the map of africa british red as possible.” according to this passage, which of the following best describes rhodes’s view of british imperialism? it is britain’s duty to send manufactured goods to africa. god is opposed to the colonization of africa. it is britain’s duty to spread european ways and customs around the world. the british should be embarrassed by their dreams of a colonial empire.

The correct answer is “It is Britain’s duty to spread European ways and customs around the world.” Rhodes believed in the civilizing mission of the British Empire and its superiority to all other civilizations, including other European Empires. His beliefs were shared by a large majority of the people of his time. “White man’s burden” by Rudyard Kipling and “Manifest Destiny” by John O’Sullivan are perfect examples of this philosophy: that European civilization, having achieved the most advanced technology of its time, had a moral obligation to bring such societal, political and technological progress to all non-white peoples who lived in the “darkness” of their “primitive” ways.

the progressive era is a period of widespread social activism and political reform across the united states that spanned from the 1890s to the 1920s.[1] the main objectives of the progressive movement were eliminating problems caused by industrialization, urbanization, immigration, and political corruption.

the movement primarily targeted political machines and their bosses. by taking down these corrupt representatives in office, a further means of direct democracy would be established. they also sought regulation of monopolies (trust busting) and corporations through antitrust laws, which were seen as a way to promote equal competition for the advantage of legitimate competitors.

many progressives supported prohibition of alcoholic beverages, ostensibly to destroy the political power of local bosses based in saloons, but others out of a religious motivation. at the same time, women's suffrage was promoted to bring a "purer" female vote into the arena.a third theme was building an efficiency movement in every sector that could identify old ways that needed modernizing, and bring to bear scientific, medical and engineering solutions; a key part of the efficiency movement was scientific management, or "taylorism".
