Which events contributed to people questioning their faith?

1 answer:

7 0

The Middle Ages in Europe was a significant period for various reasons, but perhaps its more famous trait is the fact that Christianity played such a huge role in the lives of citizens. However, even during this period of great faith, there were moments when people doubted the Church because of social and economic concerns. Some examples are:

The decline of the feudal system : As the feudal system declined because of epidemics and a rising middle class, new ways of governing and organizing society started to take hold. People's lives were severely altered, along with their whole social order. This led citizens to wonder where their place in the world was and what the guiding force in society was, suffering a crisis in their beliefs.

The Great Famine of 1315–1316 and the Black Death of 1347–1351 : Great tragedies often test our faith, and the case was the same for medieval people. Moreover, epidemiology was very underdeveloped at the time, which meant that people did not know how diseases were transmitted or what to do to prevent them. Therefore, they would often be assumed to be a punishment from God, further strengthening that link between tragedy and faith.

Having more than one pope, which divided people's loyalties : Due to the Western Schism of 1378 to 1417, there was a period in the history of the Catholic Church where three different popes existed, each having excommunicated another one. This fiasco damaged the reputation of the Church and divided support, leading to another crisis in faith.

Answer:

this is very opinion based, but in my opinion, neutrality is best for two reasons. 1 being that it means our resources are not tied up in war or other nations, and two being that we are not reliant on other nations for things like imports or even war efforts. today, we are most likely too tied up in other nations, and as a result we make very large donations to the UN each year, and rely on imports for a massive part of our economy.

Who was J. Edgar Hoover to these two groups of people: white people and civil rights activists / Black people?

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

J Edgar Hoover was head of the FBI from its inception in 1935 until his death in 1972.

Explanation:

Hoover, as far as these groups would have been seen as an adversary. He had conservative right wing views and used the FBI to amass files on anyone he considered a threat to his right wing vision of the USA. These included leading civil rights activists such as Martin Luther King Jnr and more radical black activists such as Angela Davis and Malcolm X.

Such hostility was aimed at anyone considered on the left, for example those black listed in Hollywood during McArthyism.

Hoover also consistently denied that there was an organized crime family, the Mafia, in the USA. Some have speculated that this is because the Mafia blackmailed him.

2.- THE IRRIGATION: in this way they were able to control the flow of rivers and irrigate their crops.

3.- THE WHEEL: this was created not to use it as a means of transport, but to implement other mechanisms such as irrigation. Then, other inventions arise like being the carriage.

4.- THE CARRIAGE: it develops as a means of personal transport, always using animal strength as horses and bulls that need to be domesticated.

Later, they improve the design and become a symbol of wealth and power and an element for agriculture.
