6 0

Ptolemy's Earth-centered system of epicycles was taught throughout Europe for over a thousand years because this was in line with the religious narrative of the day, which put humans (and therefore the Earth) at the center of God's creation. To imagine a universe in which Earth was not central would be to imagine one in which humans were less important.

Yanka [14]

Hey there!
For one thing, it sure was rebellious.
In this time, the people of the United States (however, that's not what it was called, rather the 13 colonies- we hadn't obtained most of our territory yet) were under the rule of King George II of Great Britain, and he didn't exactly treat the colonists with utmost respect.
Therefore, the colonists rebelled a lot and that eventually led to their
freedom.
Hope this helped!

You can start by asking her about the basic details about her during those times. Like how old she was when the cold war started. Then, you can ask her about her experiences during those times. Did she ever have a bad or any memorable experience? Then you can ask her how was it living in the cold war. Thank you for posting your question. I hope that this answer helped you. Let me know if you need more help.
