Social Studies
1 answer:
Fiesta28 [93]3 years ago
5 0
Prohibition was considered to be an epic failure of policy, because although it technically made the sale and consumption of alcohol illegal, people still continued to drink, however now this was being done illegally. This meant that there was a high demand for illegal alcohol, which mean that many organized crime units and mobsters rushed to the opportunity to profit off of illegal alcohol.

Temka [501]

Answer:

The correct answer would be, Hypnagogic Sensation. Gabe goes to bed at your regular time, and as he begins to drift slowly off to sleep, he jumps up suddenly as he feels you he is falling down the stairs. This is best explained by a Hypnagogic Sensation.

Explanation:

A Hypnagogic Sensation is a state that comes just before a person falls a sleep. Just before a person is about to sleep, a state may occur in which the person finds himself dragging or falling from somewhere and he suddenly jumps up to control himself. This state is called as the Hynogogic Sensation.

This is very common and almost every person has experienced this sensation many times in his life. I personally have experienced this state many times in my life.

How did Renaissance thinkers, such as Galileo Galilei, best contribute to the progression of science?
sammy [17]

Answer:

Galileo relied completely on what today is understood as the scientific method direct observation and experimentation rather than the Bible or received tradition in his study of astronomy.

Explanation:

Galileo was the towering scientist of his age, much as Einstein was in the twentieth century. If, as we should, we associate the Renaissance with the beginning of the movement from the centrality of faith to the centrality of reason, he is the exemplar of reason for his period.

He developed the telescope, he was able to study the movement of the planets, discovering the four largest moons of Jupiter and determining that Aristotelean cosmology (a received tradition) was in error, causing a huge stir in the scientific community.

Galileo also studied velocity, dropping balls of different weights (again using the scientific method of direct observation) from the top of the leaning tower of Pisa to time how quickly they fell. He demolished Aristotle's contention that objects of different weights.

What effect did the Great Schism have on Catholicism?
Nana76 [90]
When we speak of the Great Schism<span>, we can actually be referring to one of </span>two schisms<span>. The first is also called the </span>East-West Schism<span> and happened in 1054 when the Byzantine Church broke from the Roman Catholic Church. The second is also referred to as the </span>Great Western Schism<span> and happened between 1378 and 1417 when a pope in Rome and a second pope in Avignon, France, proclaimed themselves to be the real pope. Both schisms </span>significantly affected<span> the Roman Catholic Church. Though, typically, that which is called the Great Schism refers to the </span>East-West Schism.

<span>The </span>greatest effect<span> of the </span>East-West Schism<span> was the creation of two separate churches that had previously been unified under one church, the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church. But more specifically, the schism had developed over time due to "doctrinal, theological, linguistic, political, and geographic" differences; therefore, the schism also affected Catholicism by </span>solidifying these differences<span> (</span>New World Encyclopedia,<span> "Great Schism"</span>).

<span>The greatest </span>theological and political difference<span> concerns the belief in the</span><span> authority of the pope</span><span>. The Roman Catholic Church holds that, as the successor of Saint Peter, the pope holds all authority over the Church. However, the Eastern Church feels the title of pope to be </span>only an honorary one, so the church believes the pope has no authority to "determine policy" for all jurisdictions in the empire ("Great Schism").

A second significant theological difference concerns the<span> objection</span><span> of the</span><span>insertion of the<span> filioque</span> clause</span><span> in the Nicene Creed. The Nicene Creed is the statement of the Catholic Church's faith. The </span>filioque<span> clause refers to a specific statement of faith in the creed concerning the Holy Trinity; more specifically, the statement can be interpreted to mean that the Holy Spirit comes only from the Father or from both the Father and the Son. It is referred to as the filioque clause because the Latin word filioque translates to mean "and from the son." The </span>Eastern Church<span> changed their </span>creed to read<span>, "We believe in the Holy Spirit ... who proceeds from the Father," whereas the </span>Roman Catholic creed reads<span>, "We believe in the Holy Spirit ... who proceeds from the Father and the Son" ("Great Schism"; </span>"Filioque Clause"<span>)</span>
