How did controlling religion contribute to their power

History

Answer:

A power/interaction model of interpersonal influence is applied to the analysis of religions as mechanisms of social control. The original six bases of power presented by French and Raven (1959)—coercion, reward, legitimate position, expert, referent, and informational—are expanded to include variants of these bases: personal reward and coercion and legitimacy of equity, reciprocity, and responsibility (Raven, 1992). Over centuries, certain sages, seers, and feeling that they knew what was best for their people individually and collectively, have attempted to utilize these power resources (e.g., to counter tendencies toward murder, theft, adultery, mayhem, or harmful dietary practices). To implement power strategies, various preparatory devices were developed, which include the establishment of a Deity, whose ultimate reward and coercive power is enhanced by omnipotence; whose omnipresence establishes necessary continual surveillance; and whose ultimate expertise follows from omniscience. Much of what has been developed in holy works, and in supportive art and literature, can then be seen as further preparing the bases of power for social control. Tensions result when a populace that is educated to expect informational power is faced with a religion that emphasizes extreme coercion, reward, ultimate legitimate and expert power.

Between 1607 and 1692, the rise in use of slaves as a form of labor shows that there was no socio economic mobility in the American colonies. Slavery developed gradually over this period but become extremely prevelant after Bacon's Rebellion (1676). This system of slavery ensured that enslaved Africans had no legal rights, were considered property, and could not earn wages. No matter how hard these individuals worked, they were still considered property and earned no money for their production. This is a perfect example of the lack of socio economic mobility in the colonies during the 17th century.

How did the majority of native people feel about European imperialism?
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

They opposed the European colonization.

Explanation:

The Europeans invaded, raided, explored, and sometimes even enslaved the native people from the lands that they colonized. There's no way that such a behavior was seen as something good and people did not like at all what was happening to them and to their lands.
