This is of course somewhat of a subjective question, but in general most would agree that yes, there are absolute standards for truth and justice, since we as humans have developed ways of understanding right and wrong. 

Explanation:

Socrates believed that real achievement extended only with the Gods and that the best we can do is support their example as best as likely within our human deprivation. The absolute standards to which you apply would, accordingly, be known only to them and would not be available by us, which was what made the regular examination of one's life and actions for potential error crucial. To believe that humans could be as accurate as gods by the effort of will would have been deemed the final hubris. So yes, I accept such measures exist, but I also believe that they are behind our knowledge to succeed.

Gnaeus Pompey did not originally wish to join the First Triumvirate. What caused him to change his mind?
poizon [28]

Answer:

  • Land for his soldiers
  • Settlement of a Roman territory.

Explanation:

Pompey had prestige in Rome but he also faced a lot of opposition in the Senate from nobles when he tried to get them to give him land for his soldiers as well as to approve settlement of a Roman territory to the east.

When he saw that he would not manage on his own, he turned to Caesar who already had Crassus on his side. Together they formed the First Triumvirate and Caesar pushed through Pompey's request for land.

Explain how the Second Great Awakening remade the nation’s religious landscapes. Consider Calvinism, Congregationalists, Unitari
andrew11 [14]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The Second Great Awakening remade the nation’s religious landscapes in that most Protestant Churches attracted many new, active members that were in need of new internal connection with God and wanted to be better persons and deliver more benevolent acts. The Second Great Awakening religious values inspired American people to work to change society through compassion, respect, and acts of charity and justice. It was a time of renown preachers and powerful speeches that hit the heart of the followers. The common message of the preachers was that society could be improved through these benevolent acts and that salvation was up to the individual and its decisions. That is why he/she must act correctly, doing the right thing.
