    Hey could you possibly give me a brainly this took me about 15 minutes (im a really fast typer) anyways,

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.

Washington's farewell address argued for as little connection to europe as possible. advocated an interventionist foreign policy
Naddika [18.5K]
Washington's farewell address called for "no entangling alliances". In other words, stay out of foreign affairs. Washington saw his own cabinet torn apart by differing views of certain European nations. He also warned against political parties. Again his own cabinet was ripped apart due to strong political feelings and refusal to compromise. He saw political parties as the first step in dividing a nation that had just begun.
