Makovka662 [10]3 years ago
5 0

The reason why sociologists say that <u>race is a social</u> construction is because what it means to be "white", "black", "Latino", "Asian", etc., is defined according to culture, time and the place. The meanings of these categories are changed over time. However, what does not change is that the racial groups are placed in a hierarchy, with white people or with lighter skin in the upper part; people of non-indigenous color subjected to people with lighter skin; Black and indigenous people in the lower part of the racial system. race is an externally imposed social category. Unlike ethnicity, which describes both aspects of ancestry as well as culture and personal identification, race is ascribed by society.

Spain had been one of these conquested territories, so at the time, people living in the Iberian Peninsula could be either Christian or Muslim.

What change occurred during the Renaissance?
Anestetic [448]
Before the Renaissance, during the Middle Ages, people relied solely on the Catholic church for their information about the world. They based their facts on the Bible and what religious figures told them. During the Renaissance, a more secular way of thinking developed. As the printing press grew, more people became literate and were able to interpret the Bible for themselves. This led to the creation of new religions and theories about science. People began to challenge the old social order and authorities and began to question the morals and motives of the seemingly corrupt Catholic church.
