History
1 answer:
wel3 years ago
6 0

They knew the advantage of being clergy went far higher than the money they had.

Explanation:

The House of Borgia was one of the leading families in the time of the Italian Renaissance.

They had a Spanish-Aragonese background as a noble family.

They were from Aragon.

Their surname was a toponymic from the town of Borja, then in the Crown of Aragon, in Spain. This meant that their ambitions had not just been to be wealthy but to wield power.

That to wield power would require a lot of people in the clergy to influence the tides in their favor so they had tries for that.

Match each social group in Athenian society with its description.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

male citizens  - the most important group of the society,  attended the assembly, could vote

women  - had no rights, couldn’t own property,  couldn’t take part in the government

slaves  - the lowest class of people in Athens,  had no rights, did manual labor

metics - free people, but not citizens, born  outside of Athens

Explanation:

Although Athens is regarded as the first democracy in the world as we can see it didn't apply to everyone. Only Athenians who were born in that city-state over the age of 18 had political rights and could participate in the decision making process. Women as we can see couldn't vote. It also applies to foreigners (metics) and slaves. Still, position of slaves in Athens was much better than position of slaves in Sparta for example.

Animals occupy an enormous space in this chapter. What is the importance of animals in Paleolithic and Neolithic art? What is th
Thepotemich [5.8K]

1. The importance of the animals in the Paleolithic and Neolithic art is very big. The importance can be seen in the fact that the humans have been depicting the animals because they were part of their daily lives, be it in a positive or negative manner. The animals that have been included int he art are animals from which the humans depended for food, but also animals that have been deeply respected and feared, with maybe even spiritual motives in the background about some them.

2. The relationship of the hunter-artist with the environment is personal. The hunter-artist has been depicting what he/she was seeing, experiencing, using, fearing, respecting, on daily basis. The environment was the one that provided life, but it was also the one that was able to end it very easily, so the hunter-artist was focusing on both ways in a simplified manner, by using the both ends of the spectrum of it.

3. The hunter-artists used the geography and the fauna as the basis for the art. The reason for this lies primarily because those were the things that the hunter-artists was dependent on, and those were the things that were known, with which there was constant interaction on a daily basis. The hunter-artist was practically depicting the basis of his/hers life, by using the geography and the fauna as the basic motifs for the art.

4. There are several theories that are out there about the popularity of the animals in the Paleolithic art, some of which are better accepted than others. One of the theories is that the hunter-artist was simply expressing through art what he/she was experiencing on a daily basis. Another one is that the art was used for teaching the youngsters about the animals, which are good for hunting, and which are to be avoided because they are dangerous. There's even a theory that suggests that the art was made so that if other hunters came, they will see it and be aware of what kind of animals live in that area.

How did the nobles of Heian feel about the common people of Japan?<br><br>well give brainlest
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

During the Nara Period (710-794 CE) the Japanese imperial court was beset by internal conflicts motivated by the aristocracy battling each other for favours and positions and an excessive influence on policy from Buddhist sects whose temples were dotted around the capital. Eventually, the situation resulted in Emperor Kammu (r. 781-806 CE) moving the capital from Nara to (briefly) Nagaokakyo and then to Heiankyo in 794 CE to start afresh and release the government from corruption Kyoto was the centre of a government which consisted of the emperor, his high ministers, a council of state and eight ministries which, with the help of an extensive bureaucracy, ruled over some 7,000,000 people spread over 68 provinces, each ruled by a regional governor and further divided into eight or nine districts. In wider Japan, the lot of the peasantry was not quite so rosy as the aesthetics-preoccupied nobility at court. The vast majority of Japan’s population worked the land, In terms of religion, Buddhism continued its dominance, helped by such noted scholar monks as Kukai (774-835 CE) and Saicho (767-822 CE), who founded the Shingon and Tendai Buddhist sects respectively. They brought from their visits to China new ideas, practices, and texts, notably the Lotus Sutra (Hokke-kyo) which contained the new message that there were many different but equally valid ways to enlightenment. There was also Amida (Amitabha), the Buddha of Pure Land Buddhism, Following a final embassy to the Tang court in 838 CE, there were no longer formal diplomatic relations with China as Japan became somewhat isolationist without any necessity to defend its borders or embark on territorial conquest. However, sporadic trade and cultural exchanges continued with China, as before. Goods imported from China included medicines, worked silk fabrics, ceramics, weapons, armour, and musical instruments, while Japan sent in return pearls, gold dust, amber, The Heian period is noted for its cultural achievements, at least at the imperial court. These include the creation of a Japanese writing (kana) using Chinese characters, mostly phonetically, which permitted the production of the world’s first novel, the Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu (c. 1020 CE), and several noted diaries (nikki) written by court ladies, including The Pillow Book by Sei Shonagon which she completed c. 1002 CE. Other famous works of the period are the Izumi Shikibu Diary
