There are several aspects of our modern life that originated in the Judaic faith. For example:

Judaism was the first monotheistic religion, and it gave rise to Christianity. As Christianity was the dominant religion over much of Europe, and Europe colonized such large territories, the effects of this can be felt almost anywhere in the world.
Judaism also created the idea of the weekend, through the concept of Shabbat, which is the day of the week in which no work is performed.
The Torah (the holy text of Judaism) is alone in the Ancient World in claiming that laws apply to everyone equally, regardless of class, race or social status. This concept is important in most codes of law everywhere in the world.

Judaism also remains visible and relevant in the modern world due to the practices of modern Jewish communities who still maintain their traditions alive.

V125BC [204]

I believe the answer is: The bible

The story of Captured babylonian jews take up a lot of part in the bible's old testament. The later part (the new testament) of the bible only exist after Jesus Christ is born and it filled with the stories of his journeys and his student's missionaries after Jesuss' death.

What is the cause-and-effect of native American migration from Asia to North America

allochka39001 [22]

There are many reasons why a tribe would leave behind it’s lands and go to the unknown. Climate change, lack of food, enemies, or simple desire for exploration. All of these might be the reason why Asian tribes settled into the South and North America. Since these territories were unpopulated, they brought in the human factor into the pristine ecosystem.

Would you consider Discrimination and Equality concerns for people with dementia a societal problem?

faust18 [17]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

the reason I believe this is because some people may be different and act different towards people with dementia and when that happens that is discrimination, and I do believe that it's a societal problem because more people are diagnosed with dementia no matter if you are young or old. But since it is more common in our elder community it could also be labeled as ageism.
