Answer:
How the church shaped medieval life?
The church building was the center of community activity and many parts of daily life. Religious services were held several times a day. Town meetings, plays, and concerts were also held in churches. Merchants had shops around the square in front of the church. For many, the Catholic Church seemed to provide an answer to their suffering. Priests were central figures in Medieval towns and churches were often the most prominent buildings. So central were churches to Medieval towns that they were often social centers as well as religious ones.
Explanation:
Peter the great tried to Westernize Russia, and therefore industrialize it. In this way he was a progressive monarch, trying to change things for the better. Yet Charles II wanted complete control over his people and so tried to get rid of the parliament which resulted in the English Civil War. Yet Peter the Great tried to liberalize Russia, giving people rights to revitalize their economy and country.
Let's take a look at some command economies: today: North Korea
In the past: The Soviet Union.
We can see that in both cases the countries failed to provide enough food and supplies for their citizens, so one way that command economies influence the citizens of the countries that had them was by inducing hunger. (the same is not true of mixed economies, or not always true).
The Populist Party wanted to push several issues at the time in the 1890s in the United States.
1. Free Silver--one of their biggest platforms was to change the currency to free silver to make it more affordable for the average person to use, instead of having money backed up by the gold standard.
2. Eight hour workday--They wanted to have workers and laborers be given an eight hour workday to give workers better working conditions than what they currently faced.
3. Income tax--They wanted to have a federal income tax (which later becomes the 16th Amendment) to have different taxes for people based on their income, or how much money they would make. So essentially, a very wealthy person would have higher taxes than a poor person.
4. Regulation of the railroad--They wanted the government to regulate the railroad instead of the big businesses regulating the railroad and coming up with the prices. The farmers especially felt as though it was not fair to allow the business owners to set the prices.
The Populist Party was essentially called the People's Party because they wanted to better represent and recognize the common people in government.
