Mythology has always been an important component of religion. Mythology refers to the concepts related to the sacred and the supernatural. The combination of mythology and religion has helped people throughout history to know themselves and others better, and its legacy is still of importance to us today. Some reasons why the combination of mythology and religion was important to past cultures are:

  • <em>It helped provide an answer for the question of creation.</em> Before science was advanced enough to provide answers about the universe, myths of creation were the most accepted answers to the question of why humans exist. These answers, even if inaccurate, provided relief to people, and an explanation for catastrophes and tragedies. They served as coping mechanisms that allowed them to live their lives happily.
  • <em>It implemented rituals.</em> Rituals involve acts, events, orders and objects that are relevant to a particular religion. Rituals are important to human life because they provide social control. They also provide a way for human beings to interact profoundly with other members of their community.
  • <em>It provided a </em><em>moral code</em><em>. </em>Myths and religions often provide stories of gods or humans that engaged in immoral behaviour, and suffered because of it. They also highlight the accomplishments of heroes or saints. This provided moral guidance for societies, and enabled them to live in relative harmony.

What did Europe focus on in 1200 to 1450?
IceJOKER [234]

Answer:Due to the nature of this being a World History course that BEGINS in 1200, this is the one era that will not heavily feature the Europeans. You can tell from the map that the Europeans are already making their way down to Africa and are 42 years away from the Americas and 48 years from India by 1450. We are smack-dab in the middle of the Post Classical or Medieval period or Dark Ages. That means knights, ladies, castles, etc. The Social/Political order is crucial in Europe during this period, with Feudalism dominating most of the Continent. There’s a trade union in the North you should know: Hanseatic League. The Mongols arrive to the East and bring destruction (by cavalry or by Bubonic Plague). The educational center is not Paris or London; it’s Cordoba. The biggest interaction the Europeans have outside of Europe in this period are the Crusades that last for a little over a century. Otherwise, that’s really it. This will be the last time we see the Europeans in the confines of Europe. Most of what you need to know about Europe going forward deals a great deal with their interactions OUTSIDE of Europe. Let’s get medieval.

Solve.<br> 5. x + 6 + 2x = 15
denpristay [2]

x + 6 + 2x = 15

x+2x+6= 15 ( combine like terms)

3x+6= 15

move +6 to the other side

sign changes from +6 to -6

3x+6-6= 15-6

3x= 15-6

3x= 9

divide both sides by 3 to get x by itself

3x/3= 9/3

Cross out 3 and 3 , divide by 3 and then becomes 1*1*x= x

x= 9/3

Answer: x= 3
