Between 1692 and 1693, the Salem witch trials took place in colonial Massachusetts. Twenty persons were put to death after being charged with using witchcraft, the Devil's sorcery.

What is witch trials?
Between February 1692 and May 1693, a series of hearings and trials for those accused of witchcraft took place in colonial Massachusetts. There were more than 200 accusations. Thirty individuals were found guilty, and 19 of them were hanged (14 women and five men). Giles Corey, another man, was put to death by being pressured to confess, and at least five inmates also passed away while they were being held. In addition to Salem and Salem Village (now known as Danvers), arrests were also made in a number of other towns, most notably Andover and Topsfield. In Salem Town, where the hangings also took place, grand juries and trials for this capital offence were convened in 1692 by a Court of Oyer and Terminer and in 1693 by a Superior Court of Judicature.

Because Christian authorities had changed their minds, there was a widespread witch hunt throughout Christendom. Serious differences or disagreements among churchgoers or groups are what lead to conflicts in the church. These conflicts typically revolve around major decisions regarding new pastoral staff, the use of a building or mission finance, the format of worship services, church festivals, etc. After sceptic jurists, particularly Sir John Holt (1642-1710), had already substantially stopped convictions of accused witches under English law, the Witchcraft Act 1735 put an end to prosecutions for purported witchcraft in England.

How does biology play a role on gender influences?
Rus_ich [418]

Biology does influence gender development. For example, some differences between typical boys and girls can be explained by the effect of genes on sex chromosomes, and by the levels of sex hormones and their effect on the brain during early development (e.g., prenatal exposure to high levels of male-typical hormones).

Essay on corona virus on my mental health
natka813 [3]

an essay on corona? ok! here

It has affected me personally in the social and educational aspect, but I know around the city of Detroit it's affecting others as well. In Detroit, which is one of the cities around the country hit hard by the virus, the pandemic has also affected the youth. Youth are now forced to stay home instead of going to school and spending time with friends. Most kids need to be outside and with people to release their energy and socialize. Now this cannot happen, because the virus has affected us so much. One thing we also see happening is food insecurities and social distancing. Due to what is happening in the world, people are very much afraid and cautious about food supply and interactions with people. People are afraid and are told to stay inside, so we stock up supplies that will last them about a month. Usually people get stuff that we will last them about two weeks, but now we need to stay home as much as we can.

 

With social distancing, we now separate ourselves from other parts of society. This has made me feel very much disconnected from my friends. Humans are made to be out and about and socialize with beings on Earth. These unfortunate events have led many people to be disconnected from society. This has allowed my mind to go to the dark side, where my fears come out. My main fear is “How long will my life be on pause?” I’m afraid of how long I will be stuck in the house and can’t see my friends. Will it be a couple more weeks or will it be a couple months?
