Answer:

Silence/ Spiral of science theory

Explanation:

In sociology, the Spiral of science theory refers to the fact that <u>when a minority has an opinion that is different from the one that the rest of the group have (The majority of the group), they are likely to not state the theory out loud</u> because they are afraid that they might be isolated by saying their opinion out loud, therefore, they choose to remain silent. And this tends to make the minority opinion to appear to be less prevalent than it actually is.

Therefore, the theory that suggests that people want to see themselves as holding a majority opinion and will therefore remain silent if they perceive that they hold a minority opinion. This tends to make the minority opinion appear to be less prevalent than it is is the Spiral of science theory.

What role did buddhist monasteries play in spreading buddhism and promoting trade?.

Mrrafil [7]

Buddhism expanded throughout India mostly through trade because monasteries served as rest spots for travellers. Additionally, the link between trade and religion spread was aided by the royal patronage of Buddhism.

Buddhism and Christianity, monks or nuns offer prayers on behalf of the people rather than statues. Usually, the monastery becomes the centre of spirituality for the nearby hamlet or town.

Monasteries served as both major religious and commercial institutions. Numerous monasteries may be found along significant trade routes; as employers, they drew artisans and merchants and had strong ties to the local economies of cities.

In fact, several of Monasteries even had their own trade businesses in neighbouring cities. Numerous religious orders, such as the Cistercians, established a commitment to self-sufficiency and operated farms and workshops where artisans produced their goods and processed raw materials.
