Answer:

FALSE

Explanation:

Equality was not a focus of public schools in the late 1800s, the major evidence of that is that during that period African Americans had to attend to African American colleges, this way, segregation was evident.

The main focus of public schools in that period was literacy, teach the ability to read and write to children. This was a part of the Education Reform Movement.

in a paragraph, interpret the message of this thomas nast political cartoon, which shows boss tweed laughing as he is being arre
Rus_ich [418]

The arrest of Tweed passes the message that he had immunity from the country's legal and justice system.

Looking at the cartoon, he is to be arrested and yet he is seated and smiling. The shadow justice just looks on behind him.

Tweed was a very corrupt personality that had great power. With his money and influence he could effect changes in the justice system at his own will.

The Sheriff who came to make the arrest has his hand on his shoulder in a friendly way. With his cap in hand, he bade him goodbye as he laughingly called Tweed his man.

This was titled another good joke because he seemed to have bought the justice system to be on his side.

How does Mill describe the basic moral standard of utilitarianism?
Ilya [14]

For the individual to know how to discern the good from the bad deeds, that is, so that he can duly justify his choices, it is necessary to find a general criterion of morality. This criterion is presented by Stuart Mill as follows: <em>"The creed that accepts utility , or Principle of Greater Happiness, as the foundation of morality, argues that actions are right insofar as they tend to promote happiness, and wrong insofar as they tend to produce the reverse of happiness. and the absence of pain; unhappily, pain and deprivation of pleasure." </em>

It is according to this criterion that any useful action becomes legitimate. However, the happiness achieved does not make the utilitarian moral criterion a criterion that fosters selfishness.

Spiritual pleasures are what, according to Mill, provide true happiness. Indeed, utilitarian morality does not exclude altruism and dedication to the other.

According to utilitarian ethics, the principle of greatest happiness establishes that the actions taken must be capable of bringing maximum happiness to the greatest possible number of individuals. Now, maximum happiness for all (humanity) appears as the main objective of utilitarian philosophy.
