The correct answer is letter A

Utilitarianism is an ethical doctrine first proposed by Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) and John Stuart Mill (1806-1873). Such doctrine is based on the principle of utility, which determines that ethics must always be based on practical contexts, as the moral agent must analyze the situation before acting, and its action must aim to provide the greatest amount of pleasure ( well-being) to as many people as possible so that it is morally correct. In this way, utilitarianism completely discards the Kantian categorical imperative, removing all moral correction from a universal reason and offering it to the subject.

Which religion did Spain hope to spread in its American colonies?
lozanna [386]
Spain hoped to spread Catholicism in its American colonies. Spain was a very Catholic country at the time and remained very religious for centuries later. One of the main goals of colonization other than taking over and extracting the riches from the countries was to Christianize the population and convert them. This actually proved largely successful as an overwhelming majority of countries who were colonized by the Spanish identify as Catholic or a Christian denomination.

What do we need to do, as private citizens, to ensure our governmental leadership reflects the diversity of the population?
Ilya [14]

This is the wrong type of thinking

Explanation:

Focusing on diversity of color or diversity of race is not what we should be focusing on but instead diversity of thought. Focusing on race is what racists do. If the population wanted a diverse government they would have voted for one. Just because a particular segment of a group is one race does not mean it's a problem. we have a democracy. As private citezins we should ensure our democracy prevails because whatever the people want is what will be found in Congress or politics.
