1.social networks

Again and again, research shows that religious conversions happen “…through social networks, through a structure of direct and intimate interpersonal attachments.” Everyday friendships and the personal interactions of average believers are what makes the greatest difference — nowadays and in the past. I won’t belabor you with all of the statistics and studies, but they’re in Stark’s book, if you want them: The Rise of Christianity (Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 1996).

2. Caring for the sick, widows, and orphans

Plagues, fires, natural disasters, and devastation from riots or war were semi-regular occurrences in the cities which the early Christians called home. What distinguished Christians was their response to these all-too-frequent calamities. Instead of fleeing to the countryside to escape the most recent plague, they stayed to care for their own — and for others. Even without any knowledge of medical science, the simple act of providing food, water, and shelter to sick people vastly improved survival rates in times of widespread disease. It also sent a powerful message of solidarity to those pagans who happened to receive a helping hand. The results, over time, were shifting social networks and regular conversions to this community of faith so dedicated to service.

3. Stance against adultery, abortion, and infanticide

The ancient Roman world was not kind to women and children. Married men could sleep with other women (especially slaves and prostitutes), and the unwanted offspring of these unions were usually aborted or simply left to die from exposure after birth. Christians spoke out against all of these practices, exhorting the followers of Jesus to remain faithful in marriage (even the men!), and to care for the most vulnerable members of society: little babies. Some Christians would even rescue abandoned babies, raising them as their own. All of these beliefs and actions led to higher birth and adoption rates.

4. A theology of love

The actions described above — engaging one’s neighbor, caring for the sick, rescuing little babies — reflect certain Christian theological principles. The most important one is the insistence that God loves the world He has created and that He desires those who love Him to also love their fellow man. In our post-Christian context, such an idea seems self-evident. It’s almost a cliche. Yet an all-encompassing ethic of love is a radical idea. We believe in it so widely nowadays, at least on a theoretical level, only because Christianity incorporated it so successfully into the very being of Western civilization over centuries.

3. Which of the following statements best describes French settlers' treatment of Native Americans?
AlladinOne [14]

B. French settlers were on friendly terms with Native Americans and they relied on them to provide furs.


The French settled the Great Lakes region and used the land to acquire fur. Due to the nature of fur trapping, the French relied on Native American tribes to help them through the landscape. The French settlers were made up of male fur traders and missionaries. Due to the economic relationship between the two groups, the French often married Indian women and they would live among the tribes.

Can someone help me with this
Rainbow [258]

Well, you have to think about how this could have happened. A lot of cities and countries have all been hit by some sort of disease or natural disaster but do they both have them. I would say false, you have to understand that not only do they go under that they also suffer from economy losses and from political misunderstandings and troubles. So no, those would not be the only two common factors.

docker41 [41]

Answer:

1.  to give the legislature the power to pass new laws

2.  to discourage racial mixing

3.  to retain public support

Explanation:

The Pearsall Plan, which was a response of the North Carolina to the ruling of the United States Supreme Court on the unconstitutionality of racial segregation in public schools.

Created in 1956, Pearsall Plan sought a moderate approach to mix their public schools, however, in the bid to achieve their goal, the plan gave reason the state (North Carolina) should amend her Constitution, to reach common ground on the issue. The following are the reasons given:

1. to give the legislature the power to pass new laws: this enable the legislature to passed legislation that delay the integration.

2. to discourage racial mixing: there is also amendment of Compulsory School Attendance Law which excused students from going to integrated schools, there by discouraging racial mixing in public schools.

3. to retain public support of school: the plan seek to give more power to the school board which in turn, helps to retain public school supports.

Thereafter, in the case of Godwin v. Johnston County Board of Education (1969), ruled the Pearsall Plan unconstitutional.
