Why might institutions of authority tend to reject new ideas developed by scientists and other thinkers

History
1 answer:
Allisa [31]3 years ago
3 0

The reason why authorities might reject new scientific discoveries is mainly because these challenge the status quo, and in this status quo they are the ones which hold the power.

For example, this happened with old European absolut monarchies when the era of the Enlighment started. The principles of social contract, suffrage or division of powers developed by Enlightment thinkers were opposite to the religious dogmas that supported the Ancient Regime.

Why can we see the moon during a full moon when it is behind the Earth
goldenfox [79]

We can see the moon during the full moon when it is behind the earth because of the way it orbits around the earth.

Explanation:

  • The moon orbit around the earth at a tilted angle to the orbit of the Earth around the sun.
  • Furthermore, during the full moon, the moon will exhibit either behind or at the top of the earth's shadow.
  • Because of the tilted orbit, when it is behind the earth's surface it is away from the earth's shadow with the exception during the Lunar eclipse.
  • During the Lunar eclipse, it is easier to see the earth's shadow as it slowly covers the moon's surface.

If a researcher discovers she has notes that do not pertain to her thesis, she would most likely do which of these? Select all t
Ivanshal [37]
The correct answer should be Save those notes for use on another topic

You shouldn't change your entire thesis or your notes to fit it because that would be bad for the thesis and for the notes. Discarding them completely would be a waste of the notes so it's better to put them away for future use since you never know when you might need them.

Use your research to write a testimonial about the individual's importance in history. What influence did he or she have on his
yaroslaw [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Te question does not mention any individual in specific, so we assume that we choose the individual we like to write the testimonial.

We choose Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was an important figure and led the civil rights movement in the United States. He followed the ideals of liberty and tolerance and influenced millions of people. On his positive side, Dr. King could congregate thousands of people to the civil rights movement cause. He set the example. He was at the very front of the protests and marches. One very good thing he had was that he supported peaceful demonstrations, never violent protests. His "Letter From the Birmingham Jail" and "I Haad a Dream" speech, have influenced modern leaders around the world.

On the negative side, probably he could have been more open and tolerant to negotiate with authorities or to join forces with other black leaders such as Malcolm X, that although he used violence in his protests, the union of more African American leaders could have taken the movement to different dimensions and accomplishments.
