Gladden describes Reformers as the "Men of Goodwill".
Washington Gladden was a prominent leader and a person who formulated the idea of the Social Gospel (a movement in North America began in the second half of the 19th century), he was also a preeminent member of the Progressive Movement. He had a firm belief in the social gospel. He urged his followers (reformers) to <u>put pressure on the political leaders to follow the will of the common people, rather the desires of affluent Industrialists</u>. One of the most significant contributions of the reformers to the society was the making of the Settlement Houses. He and his followers raised voice for the equality of the African- Americans.
Early Christianity developed in theRoman Empire, where many religions were practiced that are, for lack of a better term, labeled paganism. From the point of view of the early Christians these religions all qualified as ethnic (or gentile, ethnikos, gentilis, the term translating goyim, later rendered as paganus) in contrast with Second Temple Judaism.
<span>By today's standard's I would in no way refer to american revolutionary patriots as 'terrorists.' These men aimed toward a cause for the greater good of the people the represented. They were not singularly deranged in their motive.</span>
The question is based on your own opinion,I cannot give you direct answer,but here's some idea for you.
yes: the war was caused by extreme nationalism,where the nations had the desire to be strong with and they seek for national glory. It started with this concept,they began to ally,to expand,soon running into conflicts,eventually the scale enlarged to a world war. Yet the chase for national glory was originally to bring a better nation,in the end it just cause loss and destruction. War is not necessary to be started in orfer to gain national glory. Were the nations to back down,it could be avoided. You might want to expand more on the destruction it caused if you choose yes.
No: In spite of WWI did cause a lot of destruction,it pushes the history of human foward. You could talk more on the things achieved and changed in WWI,such as the fall of empires,the uprise of women rights,the establishment of national cooperation system(League of nations), and the develope of more destructive weapons.
hope it helps!
