The Enlightment writers fought for the rights of citizens and against the social and economical mechanisms of the Ancient Regime and the feudalism.

On the first hand, they established the fight for Reason and for the scientific methods as the ways to build knowledge hence, breaking with dogmatic beliefs, superstitions or extreme religious ideas.

It is important to highlight as well the ideas developed by Rousseau in his work <em>The social contract</em>, were he appointed that the citizens should be the ones legitimized to grant the power to the rulers of a state through suffrage. Therefore he supported popular sovereignty and suffrage. This sharply contradicted the absolute monarchy system that was the status quo in most European countries when the Enlightment ideas emerged .

Also, the idea of the division of powers was developed by Montesquieu. He stated that 3 branches of powers should be created in the goverment of each states: legislative, executive and judiciary, together with a system that prevents any of them from gathering too much power and ending up overruling the others.

Finally, the Enlighment claimed for basic human and civil rights: suffrage, freedom of speech, freedom of association, private property, etc. The first right declaration were written based on these ideas.

Highlight five (5)ways in which social media influence modem parenting​
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. We compare children much much more now with social media because we get to see who grows up successful in many ways now it's social media with communicating and sharing be easier to access

2.another one is we overshare, (for example, Sandra posted a picture of her daughter getting her a shot for a vaccine and the picture of her daughter has her screaming and kicking).

3. one positive thing about social media influencing parenting is if you have a phone you're most likely allowed to go more places because your parents can contact you within seconds.

4. Modern parents are now less likely to let their child do things and go places because they saw on the news or from a family member that something bad happened there unlike in the old days that you were able to spend all your time outside without having to worry about your child getting hurt. ( and yes I know this goes against my 3rd point)

5. social media has created some lazy parents that will just shove an iPad or phone into their child's face to quiet them or to get them from being angry.

Why does bloodlessness mean deathlessness?
navik [9.2K]
Bloodlessness comes from the root word blood plus the suffix "less" which means that there is "no blood". Usually, blood is associated with death as most death involves shedding of blood. With that, we may conclude that being bloodless means being deathless.
