2. My two favorite scientists of the 19th century would be Joseph Lister, a devote Christian, who expanded on Louis Pasteur’s germ theory and is credited to have started sterile surgery, and Marie Curie, who, against all odds, won two Nobel Prizes with her husband for their work in chemistry and physics.

Nationalism began in Italy in 1831 when a well-known nationalist named Giuseppe Mazzini, formed the “Brotherhood of Young Italy.”  While the rulers of the Italian states were not ready to unite, Mazzini’s efforts were not in vain.  Eventually in 1861, the Italian people voted to unite their country.

6. Because of Africa’s disorder, the Europeans were able to defeat the different tribes for their own personal gain.  There was much wealth in Africa – mineral deposits and good soil for plantations; therefore, a European imperialism took over, bringing advances in technology but displacing the Africans and causing territorial strife.

H1. Utilitarianism is “the ethical doctrine that virtue is based on utility, and that conduct should directed toward promoting the greatest happiness of the greatest number of persons.”  There are   certain aspects of this concept which I believe, such as the idea of substitutionary atonement.  However, there are no Christian morals present at all in utilitarianism.
