Why did William Penn accept land in the New World? A. He wanted to create a place where he could make large amounts of money. B
. He wanted to search for gold in a new place. C. He needed a place to farm and make money. D. He wanted to create a place where he could practice his religion freely.
Answer: <span>He wanted to create a place where he could practice his religion freely.
Explanation: He belonged to a religious group of Quakers, they were of a view that man-made rules were not fair and everyone was forced to follow them instead of following their own will and inner insight of the events happening around them. Thus, he wanted to acquire that land in New World (later named as Pennsylvania) to practice their religion freely and considered that place a safe haven for Quakers community. Religious tolerance was a prominent feature of his colony. </span>
someone can be prejudiced towards a certain group but not discriminate against them. Also, prejudice includes all three components of an attitude (affective, behavioural and cognitive), whereas discrimination just involves behaviour.
