What impact did king William I have on church and government courts

fredd [130]

Answer:

The conquering king retained the right to overrule the decisions of church courts and to hear all cases in which a layman was in conflict with the church. William personally attended the local church councils which now became more frequent. He acted as master of all they did.

William worked closely with Lanfranc, who organized the church and, using English precedents, brought the Archbishop of York under the authority of Canterbury. William preferred to deal with one church hierarchy, not two. Bishops became part of the feudal military structure.

Describe the civil wars in Syria and Yemen. How are they similar? How are they different

katrin [286]

Answer: Both wars are due to the "Arab Spring". The Syrian conflict also includes an international factor.

Explanation:

When we talk about the similarities between the two wars, we can say that both are the result of the "Arab Spring". Arab Spring is a massive uprising of the people, predominantly in Arab countries. The people rebelled against the ruling structures. The revolution first began in Tunisia in 2012 and has continued to this point. The similarities between the two uprisings lie in the fact that a good portion of the population does not support the presidents in power and their arbitrariness. Similarities can be found in the religious and tribal frameworks that result from antagonisms in both countries.

The difference between the two wars lies in several factors. The scale, the destruction, the massiveness of the civil war in Syria is grander. Syria has many more factors involved in the conflict so that there are troops from many parts of the world supported by their governments on the Syrian front. On the other hand, the Yemeni civil war is strictly bound within the Yemeni borders, with the fact that Saudi Arabia has occasional interventions in the Yemeni civil war.

Before Sonya left for college, she told her friend Lacy that she thought sororities were filled with snobs and that she would ne

Verdich [7]

Answer:

Cognitive dissonance

Explanation:

In psychology, the term cognitive dissonance refers to the mental discomfort experienced by a person who holds contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values.

This discomfort is triggered by a situation in which a person's belief is contradicted by new evidence perceived by the person so the person will try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.

In this example, Sonya thought sororities were filled with snobs, however during her first week in campus she was approached by a sorority member who invited her to a social function.

We can see that Sonya's beliefs about sororities were contradicted by the new evidence she perceived when she attended the social function, this made her feel cognitive dissonance and her way to resolve the contradiction was to conclude that sororities do a lot of good things for the community.

Thus, Sonya's change in attitude to match her behavior relates to cognitive dissonance.
