I dont know anything about buddhist beliefs, but i do know Hinduism. Hinduism is a polytheistic because they have over 33 million gods/goddesses that relate to one true God. Karma, in hindu religion, is the sum of a person's actions in this and previous lives. It helps determine what their future life will be like. Dharma is the right behavior and way to live. Reincarnation is the belief that, after death, you'll come back to life as a living being. Moksha is when you break out of the cycle of samsara. Samsara is the endless cycle of birth and rebirth. Moksha is the goal in Hinduism. The caste sytem comes from Hinduism. The caste system is the opposite of social mobility. You are the caste that your parents are, and there's no way to change that, You cannot buy your way up to a higher caste, but if you behave as you're supposed to in your current life, you'll get a better net life. Higher castes are highly respected, but lower castes, such as Dalits and Shudras, get all the heavy work. Dalits aren't treated as a human at all in Hinduism.
“Prepare a statement of the rights of the colonists, and of this province in particular, as men, as Christians, and as subjects; Prepare a declaration of the infringement of those rights; and Prepare a letter to be sent to all the towns of this province and to the world, giving the sense of this town.”
The answer is civilizing. In the midst of the mid-1800s,
southern defenders of slavery discussed that the organization was not oppressive;
it was civilizing for the reason that blacks or the African Americans were being
trained to be disciplined workers and being disciplined at work and they were also
saved by Christianity.
