Answer:
Explanation:
Between 1820 and 1860 there was rapid expansion and great arguments about the morality and validity of slavery. The Second Great Awakening filled a greater Protestant religion into American society and culture. It was the religious people's responsibility to improve the morality of American society to achieve God's mission. Americans were successful at imposing reforms on society in the form of abolitionism, women's rights, and the reform of certain forms of moral vice, such as prostitution and alcoholism. However, and sadly, no reforms were entirely successful. I think that some parallels exist today because of the moral reform movement to stop violence and sexual behavior in the media, and Anti-Abortion believers who argue for an increase in human morality to meet the expectations of the Christian moral tradition.
Answer:
The physical feature circled 1 is the southern alps (B)
Explanation:
The question is incomplete without the image of satellite map of New Zealand.
Let's consider the description of each New Zealand physical features in the options:
The Northern Peninsula:
A peninsular is a piece of land that has its border mostly surrounded by water. The northern peninsular in New Zealand is located in the far north of the northern North Island.
This goes in line with option 2 (is a peninsula along the northern section of the island)
The Southern Alps:
It is a mountain range that extends along most of the length of New Zealand's South Island. It reaches its greatest elevations near the range's western side.
This goes in line with option 1 (is a mountain area along the western coast). Since this is the description of option 1, the physical feature is the southern alps
The Canterbury Plains:
It is a lowland area of east-central South Island in New Zealand.
This goes along option 4 (is a flat area along the southeast coast)
The Eastern Hills:
This is ruled out as the name implies a hill. A hill is an area of land that extends above surrounding land.
The Eastern Hills tracks extends from the Bus Barn in Eastbourne to Upper Hutt.
The two Opium Wars, fought from 1839-1842 and 1856-1860, have been understood by the Chinese as the beginning of their "Century of Humiliation" at the hands of Western powers, most notably Britain.
Early in the nineteenth century, an insatiable appetite for Chinese goods, such as tea, silk and china, led Britain into a trade deficit with China. To combat that, Britain significantly increased its opium trade with China. It used opium from India, which it controlled, to finance its purchases of Chinese goods. The Chinese government, seeing the extent to which opium addiction was affecting its people, decided to enforce its ban on the opium trade. In turn, England found excuses to go to war with China and easily defeated the badly weakened country. It then imposed harsh and humiliating treaties on the Chinese, which included payment of indemnities and forcing the Chinese to cede Hong Kong to the British. Although Britain, at the time the premier world power, spearheaded the effort, other Western powers also made lucrative inroads into China.
The Opium Wars could be seen as a moral low point for Britain in its zest to exploit the resources and peoples of other nations. The Chinese tried in vain to appeal to Queen Victoria to ban the sale of opium on moral grounds, and Gladstone, the British prime minister, decried the trade as evil.
The legacy of these two wars was years of distrust in China. In the latter half of the twentieth century, the country became communist and turned inward, taking control of its own destiny and growing into a major world power determined to protect its interests in Asia. The legacy also arguably impacted twentieth-century world politics: the English and French imposed similarly humiliating terms, the Versailles treaty, on the Germans after World War I, which did not go over well with Germany, and although the period of profitable imperialism was waning, Hitler waged war in part to build a similar empire to what the British had.
