<P> Natural good is concerned only with the self, with no relation to having a witness (a person in which you are helping). Therefore natural good does not fit the definition of disinterested benevolence, but moral goodness does . Moral goodness is defined as having an onlooker who may participate in the emotions of the perpetrator . To encompass moral goodness you are calling upon "approbation and love". Both external rightness and inner goodness are applied in disinterested benevolence . </P> <P> There are five main parts of perfectionism stated by Thomas Hurka . "Perfectionism is morally concerned with good in human life; human good consists of realization, of human excellences, human excellences come from human nature, the Aristotelian ethics is the best explanation of human nature, and the best perfectionism should be consequentialist ." By human nature we develop these tasks by default, by developing perfectionism we become more real . Human nature in relation to perfectionism contains accounts only of humans and properties which are crucial to humans . Hurka believes that there are two main values in perfectionism, which are unity and complexity . Perfecting human excellence was an important concept in the Benevolent Empire because people wanted to maintain the goal of helping others and creating a well rounded Christianity based society, where people served for the well - being of others emotionally and physically rather than the well - being of themselves . </P> <P> The objective of the Benevolent Empire was to spread Christianity to anyone and everyone these organizations could reach . Missionaries and organizations were formed all around the United States . These missionaries traveled both abroad and locally spreading the good word of Christianity and the ideas of disinterested benevolence and perfectionism . Almost every denomination formed missionary structures, including Baptist, Presbyterians and Dutch Reformed Churches . Denominations joined together to form larger missionary societies . Clergymen, educators, students and church - goers all took part in the spreading of Christianity throughout the world . </P> <P> Not only did the Benevolent Empire help relay the word of Christianity to people all around the world, the benevolent empire pushed for many social reforms . Among these changes were for the peace movement and the large amount of alcohol abuse in America . In 1836 the American Temperance Society was created to help curb the use of alcohol in the United States . Reform efforts were created by missionary societies to help inform the world of good morals and to show citizens the right path to follow . </P>
