Some of the conflicts which the Americans felt about Puritan influences are:

  • That it contained cruel beliefs
  • They were at odds at whether predestination was viable and some did not believe.

<h3>What is Puritanism?</h3>

This refers to the religious sect that broke away from England due to religious persecution and fled to American colonies to continue their religion.

Hence, we can see that based on the opinions of Nathaniel Hawthorne that were contained in <em>The Scarlet Letter</em>, the Americans had mixed feelings and they thought that their religious beliefs would have an impact on their national identity.

Some of the Puritan beliefs that should be kept are:

  • The Holy Spirit is the energizing instrument of salvation
  • God needs a covenant relationship for redemption from sins.

Some of the Puritan beliefs that should be resisted or left out are:

  • Limited atonement
  • Total depravity

seropon [69]

Answer:

Drugs mostly harm today's society. They cause permanent physical, emotional, and mental damage, and very few can recover. Drugs often lead to sickness and disease. Overall, the consequences are widespread. Not to mention, the cost of drugs is a big issue and it becomes even bigger when one considers how the user's addiction causes them to buy even more. The addiction makes people more violent, as well as more inclined to persuade others to take part in these drugs.

The use of these drugs affects people's comprehension and common sense, giving a rapid increase in car crashes, injuries, and arrests. Especially in this modern society, people have more ways to pass on drugs (by texting others, threatening to "expose" others online, and viewing more TV ads for drugs.)
