There are at least three reasons why historians might conclude that Christianity appealed more to many Romans than the old Roman religion did. We must remember that these are ideas that historians propose and not necessarily those that religious people would accept. Actual Romans might have said they preferred Christianity because God spoke to their hearts and told them it was true. Historians have to be more cynical and look for worldly causes for religious belief.
One reason that Romans might have liked Christianity is because its god cared about people. Roman religion was based on transactions. If people performed certain actions, the gods would perform other actions in return. It was like buying something on Amazon. By contrast, in Christianity, God loves all people regardless of what they do or believe. God hopes that people will do the right thing and will punish them if they do wrong, but he loves them as individuals even when they do bad things. Historians say that Romans might have liked this idea because it fed their emotional need to feel that they were valuable and worth caring about.
A second factor in Christianity’s popularity might have been its moral code. Roman religion really did not say much if anything about how people should act in their daily lives. The gods did not care how people acted towards one another. The Christian god, on the other hand, handed down a strict set of rules about how people were to behave. This might have made people like Christianity because it made them feel that they had instructions about how to live their lives.
Finally, historians emphasize Christianity’s inclusive nature. The Roman world was very unequal. There were a few elites, a group of people who were well-off, and many, many poor people and slaves. The Roman religion did not give any of the people of the lower classes a sense that they were valuable. This is where Christianity was so different. It taught that all people are equal in the eyes of God. Historians believe that this would have made many people like the idea of Christianity because it gave them hope that god cared about them regardless of their status and that they, the “meek” would one day inherit the earth.
Historians suggest all of these as reasons why people in Roman times might have been attracted to Christianity.

Answer: Stanley Milgram
Explanation: As Stanley Milgram himself stated, the essence of obedience to authority is when a person begins to perceive himself as a tool to fulfil the wishes of the authority, not his own wishes, so he sees all his actions and consequences of these actions as a result of the action of authority, not as a result of his will and responsibility. Milgram based his experiment on the conflict that arises between the state of obedience and the conscience of a person who subordinated to authority. The essence of the experiment concerned the responsibility of those who committed genocide during WWII, who claimed to have been merely obedient, i.e executing the orders of superiors, and based their defense on this claim.
This begs the question of whether or not they were complicit in the genocide.
The experiment was performed with pairs of participants where one was a "student" and the other was a "teacher", and where the student was connected to an electroshock electrode. Each time a student would give a wrong answer, the teacher would activate electricity through the electrodes and the student would experience an electric shock. With each wrong answer, the teacher would increase the level of electric shock. There are also some moderation in the experiment, such as a student would make a mistake on purpose, etc.
The conclusion is that ordinary people are generally willing to kill people, even if they are innocent in order to execute the orders of superiors, recognised as authority. It is considered that when it comes to authority, all its orders are justified and legal. So it is moral and proper to follow the orders of authority, whatever it may be.
Answer:
the cost of a post secondary degree is worth it.
Explanation:
The correct answer is "the cost of a post secondary degree is worth it". This is because the statement implies that having this kind of degree is better than having a secondary degree.
Here are the reasons why the other answers are not correct:
- "the cost of a post secondary degree should be avoided": this is false, as the statement on the question says that in the long term it is better to have a post secondary degree.
- "you should not be concerned about the amount of debt you go into to pay for it": the statement provided discusses that it is better to have post secondary degree than not habing it. It does not address being concerned about its cost. It is always recommended to understand how you are going to pay for a degree, so you can plan for which kind of job you will need to have after finishing the degree as well as how much money you need to earn to have good quality of life.
- "the more money you pay for the degree guarantees a higher salary": the statement does not talk about the ratio between salary and cost of a degree.
