Ancient history says that it’s from Brahma's divine manifestation of four groups. Priests and teachers were cast from his mouth, rulers and warriors from his arms, merchants and traders from his thighs, and workers and peasants from his feet.

And now it’s from their ancestors, previous wealth, deeds and stuff.

Most caste systems in our history were based on a person's skin color. I'm gonna take a guess that it would be the same for this part of the world.

Leya [2.2K]

The correct answer is:

C. The spread of monotheism threatened meccas economy, which relied on the wealth of non-muslim pilgrims.

Explanation:

Muhammad (570-632 d.c) was the founder of the Islam, Muslims believe that he was God's last messenger, and that he was chosen to deliver the word of God. Muhammad's revelation occurred when he was 40 years old, and the following 13 years he faced great opposition from leaders in Mecca mainly because of his message of monotheism (one God).

Leaders in Mecca believed in many gods, and saw their power and economy threatened by Muhammad's words because his message stated equality and individual accountability to God. They feared that Muhammad could seek political power and that if people stopped worshipping their gods, the pilgrimages to Mecca that made them rich could stop too.

How did Martin Luther King Jr. view the state of the nation when he was writing this letter?

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

You may well ask, Why direct action? Why sit‐ins, marches, etc.? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are

exactly right in your call for negotiation. Indeed, this is the purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action

seeks to create such a crisis and establish such creative tension that a community that has constantly refused

to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored.

I just referred to the creation of tension as a part of the work of the nonviolent resister. This may sound rather

shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word tension. I have earnestly worked and preached

against violent tension, but there is a type of constructivei nonviolent tension that is necessary for growth.

Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the

bondageii of myths and half‐truths to the unfetterediii realm of creative analysis and objective appraisaliv, we

must see the need of having nonviolent gadfliesv to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise

from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood. So

the purpose of the direct action is to create a situation so crisis‐packed that it will inevitably open the door to

negotiation. We, therefore, concur with you in your call for negotiation. Too long has our beloved Southland

been bogged down in the tragic attempt to live in monologue rather than dialogue…

We must use time creatively, and forever realize that the time is always ripe to do right. Now is the time to

make real the promise of democracy, and transform our pending national elegy into a creative psalm of

brotherhood. Now is the time to lift our national policy from the quicksand of racial injustice to the solid rock of human dignity.
