C) The changing role of women
Women known as "flappers" adopted new, more revealing styles of dress in public. They also smoked in public, danced new dances, wore their hair in new short-cropped styles. They were demonstrating their independence to go against traditional views and expectations for women.
They ruled that separating children in public schools by race was unconstitutional.
Desiderius Erasmus (1466 – 1536) was a Dutch Christian humanist and a main figure of northern Renaissance. He was very critical with some practices and abuses perpetrated by the Catholic Church, but he never supported the principles of Luther's Reformation. He highlighted the need for a reform but he continued recognizing the Pope and other religious authorities, in opposition to protestantism with rejects the legitimacy of church leaders and focuses principally on faith. Therefore his reformist approach was denominated Via Media.
Erasmus opposed the abussive practice generalized in the Catholic Church of selling indulgences. Basically people were spending money in paying for the removal of their sins and to guarantee that they would go to heaven after death. Like many other Christian scholars Erasmus critized this practice and stated that the power of grating pardon is only in the hands of God.
Inflation can result from rising demand and reduces the value of money. Money loses value when its purchasing power falls. Since inflation is a rise in the level of prices, the amount of goods and services a given amount of money can buy falls with inflation.
