I need a description of the Jews of the Renaissance and Reformation​

History
1 answer:
fenix001 [56]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The 15th through the 18th centuries involved major changes in Jewish life in Europe. The conflicts, controversies, and crises of the period impacted Jews as much is it did other Europeans, albeit perhaps with different outcomes. In social, economic, and even intellectual life Jews faced challenges similar to those of their Christian neighbors, and often the solutions developed by both to tackle these problems closely resembled each other. Concurrently, Jewish communal autonomy and cultural tradition—distinct in law according to its own corporate administration, distinct in culture according to its own set of texts and traditions—unfolded according to its own intrinsic rhythms, which, in dialogue with external stimuli, produced results that differed from the society around it. The study of Jewish life in this period offers a dual opportunity: on the one hand, it presents a rich source base for comparison that serves as an alternate lens to illuminate the dominant events of the period while, on the other hand, the Jewish experience represents a robust culture in all of its own particular manifestations. Faced with these two perspectives, historians of the Jews are often concerned with examining the ways in which Jews existed in separate and distinct communities yet still maintained contact with their surroundings in daily life, commercial exchanges, and cultural interaction. Further, historians of different regions explore the ways that Jews, as a transnational people, shared ties across political frontiers, in some cases, whereas, in others cases, their circumstances resemble more closely their immediate neighbors than their coreligionists abroad. Given these two axes of experience—incorporation and otherness—the periodization of Jewish history resists a neat typology of Renaissance and Reformation. And yet, common themes—such as the new opportunities afforded by the printing press, new modes of thought including the sciences, philosophy, and mysticism, and the emergence of maritime economic networks— firmly anchor Jewish experiences within the major trends of the period and offer lenses for considering Jews of various regions within a single frame of reference. To build a coherent survey of this period as a whole, this article uses the major demographic upheavals of the 14th and 15th centuries and the subsequent patterns of settlement, as the starting point for mapping this period. These are followed by significant cultural developments, both of Jewish interaction with its non-Jewish contexts, the spaces occupying a more “internal” Jewish character, and of those boundary crossers and bridges of contact that traversed them before turning to the upheavals and innovations of messianic and millenarian movements in Judaism.

love history [14]
Some of the earliest Mesoamerican cultures included the Olmecs, the Mayas, and the Aztecs.  The Olmecs lived near the Gulf of Mexico, in “swampy, lowland river valleys.”  Water drains made out of stone, hieroglyphic writings, and a calendar, were a few of their achievements.  The Mayas lived in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico today.  Their priests were extremely good mathematicians and astronomers.  They developed a system of mathematics with 20 as the base, accurate calendars, and were the first Native Americans that developed a writing system.  The Aztecs lived in Central Mexico.  They were a very advance civilization with a network of canals, bridges, and causeways.  Some of their achievements included chinampas, artificial floating islands used for farming, and a calendar.

Explain the function and impact of political parties on the electorate and government
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

A political party is an organized group of people seeking or using political power, for example, by participating in democratic elections. Parties are often nationwide, but they can also operate only in one area of ​​a country, or seek power in unions between countries.

Parties often have a special ideology, but can also represent a coalition between various interests. The will or ideology of the party is summarized in a party program that possible voters can review. In many cases, similar parties exist in different countries, which want to achieve the same goals in each country, and they can sometimes join forces in cross-border cooperation. There are also parties with similar ideologies and goals that do not cooperate, but compete with each other.  

Difference is vital for most political parties: they must differ at least some points from other parties in order to win elections. Extreme party supporters sometimes use force to carry their ideologies.

American politics is totally dominated by two parties, the Democrats and the Republicans, at both state and national levels. The Democrats are considered a center-left party and the Republicans a center-right party. It is very uncommon for an independent candidate or other party to be elected to any post, other than at the local level.
