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.

What does this map show about Germany’s geographic position
melomori [17]
It shows that Germany was in a really bad strategic position since it could be attacked from all sides, which did happen in the end. When the Allies managed to liberate Europe, they focused on attacking Germany from all sides and eventually they completely destroyed them, especially the Soviet army which managed to get into Berlin first.

Why might Caesar’s assassins have been unhappy with the long-term results of their actions?
julia-pushkina [17]

Caesar was named "dictator for life" by the Roman Senate. Some of the senators, such as Gaius Cassius Longinus, Decimus Junius Brutus Albinus, and Marcus Junius Brutus, feared that he would take the Senate power and become king or emperor, so they decided to kill him. They expected the Roman people to support them, which didn't happen.

After Caesar’s death, Augustus expanded the powers of Rome’s leader, for example by deifing him.

What is the fundamental reason the US government established military forts in American Indian history territory?
Ivenika [448]

El objetivo fundamental de Estados Unidos es la neocolonización o neodominación de América latina y el Caribe con el uso de diversas estrategias doctrinarias, filosóficas, políticas, sociales, culturales y básicamente militares: El expansionismo yanqui se origina en la filosofía, doctrina o idea del Destino Manifiesto presentida por los colonizadores puritanos, pues uno de ellos escribió: "Ninguna nación tiene el derecho de expulsar a otra, si no es por un designio especial del cielo como el que tuvieron los israelitas, a menos que los nativos obraran injustamente con ella. En este caso tendrán derecho a entablar, legalmente, una guerra con ellos así como a someterlos.
