The text provides a reflection on human suffering, happiness, self-sacrifice, and the moral principles of utilitarianism. It argues that many of the hardships people face are due to their own poor decisions, unregulated desires, or flawed social institutions. However, it suggests that with human effort and care, these sources of suffering can be conquered, although the process may be slow.

The text acknowledges that it is possible for individuals to live without happiness, as many people involuntarily experience this in various parts of the world. Additionally, some individuals willingly forego their own happiness, like heroes and martyrs, in pursuit of something they value more than personal happiness. The text questions whether these sacrifices would be made if they did not contribute to the happiness of others or some other essential aspect of happiness.

While the text recognizes the nobility of self-sacrifice, it argues that such sacrifices should ultimately serve a purpose beyond themselves. If the sacrifice does not benefit others or increase overall happiness, it questions the value of the sacrifice and argues that it should not be admired. The text compares such self-sacrifice to that of an ascetic on a pillar, suggesting that it may be inspiring but not necessarily commendable.

The text acknowledges that in an imperfect world, where one can best serve the happiness of others by sacrificing their own, the willingness to make such sacrifices is the highest virtue. Paradoxically, the ability to be content without happiness is seen as offering the best prospect of attaining whatever happiness is attainable. This ability allows individuals to rise above the uncertainties and anxieties of life, enabling them to find satisfaction without being overly concerned with its duration or inevitable end.

Lastly, the text encourages utilitarians to claim the morality of self-devotion as their own, noting that utilitarian morality recognizes the power of individuals to sacrifice their own greatest good for the benefit of others. However, it emphasizes that sacrifices without the ability to increase overall happiness are considered wasted. The only self-renunciation that is applauded is the one that promotes the happiness, or means of happiness, either for humanity as a whole or for individuals within the limits set by collective interests.

From the given excerpts, the logical conclusion that can be made about both female characters is:

A. Both women have yet to experience true love.

In the excerpt from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen, Marianne expresses her doubts about Edward's suitability for her sister Elinor, indicating that she has not found a man whom she can truly love. She mentions that Edward lacks certain qualities that she expects in a man who can seriously attach her sister. Marianne desires a man who can share her same feelings, interests, and tastes. This suggests that she has a specific idea of love and hasn't found it yet.

In The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton, Lily, the main character, discusses her views on marriage and her lack of interest in marrying just anyone. She mentions how marriage is considered a vocation for women and asks why she should marry the first man who comes along. This indicates that she hasn't found someone who meets her standards or has captured her heart.

Thus, based on these excerpts, it can be concluded that both women have yet to experience true love.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Unfortunately, you did not include the two maps. Without them, we do not know your specific reference.

However, trying to help you and after doing some deep research, we can say the maps portray the Spanish, British, and Dutch trade maritime routes from 1750 to 1850. The other map shows the many trade routes in 2010 that practically crossed all over the world.

That is why we can answer that one significant reason for changes in the patterns of global economic interactions from circa 1750 to circa 2000, as illustrated by the two maps are the technology and modernization of means of transportation that today include land, air, and sea.

Trade has been the activity that has developed most rapidly all over the world in those years. Today, there are international organizations and free trade agreements that connect the world through trade.

More people on the planet started to require more products from all places and developed nations exploited natural resources and raw materials and produced more and better goods in their industrialized cities that were exported.
