What religious conflicts occurred as Europeans began settling in the Americas?

The European settlers in the New World thought Christianity was the one true faith, and that if you didn't believe in it you would go to hell. The First Nations were satisfied with their own spiritual beliefs and were not interested in changing. The conflicts began because the Europeans believing that First nations could not be trusted since the bible described any non-Christians as Heretic who was worshiped the devil.

What role did religion play in the European immigration to North America?

The main role religion had in European immigration to North America is that is worked as a catalyst because Europeans wanted to escape religious persecution.  

How did Christianity spread in North America? How did different ideas and beliefs diffuse in society?

Christianity mostly spread through the use of missionaries, who employed often inhumane methods to force the First Nations to believe in Christ. Some Europeans still had their own unique customs and beliefs, some of which were popular enough that they diffused throughout North America.

How did the religion of the European immigrants influence the structure of their societies and communities?

The European settlers believed that religion was the glue that held their society together. Most colonies would put very strict laws into place to punish non-Christians and to prohibit non-Christian religious beliefs.

What are some of the reasons why some Christian denominations had more followers in particular areas of North America than other denominations?

Some denominations were less understanding of certain areas then others and some denominations were more akin to certain areas.

How did George Whitfield challenge the boundaries between religious groups in North America?

Whitfield believed that he could unite people with a simple message everyone could share. He believed that there was this transformation of the soul by the Holy Spirit and that it was possible to have an immediate connection between God and each person.

In looking at the religious history of the United States, what are some of the reasons why it has traditionally been a Christian country?

The United States (and North America in general) were predominantly Christian since the European powers started establishing colonies. Britain, France, and Spain were the main colonial powers and although they were believed in different variations of Christianity, they all believed in the bible. Therefore Christianity was forced upon North America.

How does the story of the European settlers mimic the Biblical story?

The story of the European settlers mimics the biblical story of the Israelites reaching the promised land in that they both believed that if they just came to this place of "milk and honey" they would be able to flourish, and truly enjoy life.

hi there,

on december 11, 2001, china officially became the 143rd member of the

world trade organization (wto) in the culmination of a negotiation

process which began in 1986. economists have long been debating the

global effects of china's accession to the wto, and as china becomes

fully integrated into the organization over the next several years,

the accuracy of their predictions will be tested.

one of the biggest residual effects of china's entry to the wto,

according to economists, will be the relocation of manufacturing and

distribution centers to china. due to its cheap labor, cheap

industrial land, and educated workforce, china is an ideal production

centre for businesses based in outside countries. this will likely

result in a twofold impact – more jobs will be available in china,

while countries like india, which have historically offered cheap

labor, will suffer. taiwan and malaysia's technology industries are

already suffering as companies like dell computers move production to

china, and while foreign investment soars in china, other asian

countries suffer. in addition, mexico and the caribbean will lose

thousands of garment manufacturing jobs as the u.s. lifts restraints

on chinese textile imports.

while the impact on southeast asia may be negative, the western world

may benefit. while some suggest china's open borders will result in

increased competition and a decreased employment rate for the western

world, western countries will benefit from access to china's highly

developed electronics and industry sectors. with duties and quotas

slashed, and restrictions lifted, multinationals will benefit by

setting up distribution centers without the need for chinese

middlemen. in addition, it's expected that china will import massive

amounts of food products, machinery and vehicles from the u.s., japan,

hong kong, taiwan, singapore and south korea, thus providing

significant boosts to these countries' economies.

in conclusion, it seems that while western countries may benefit from

china's accession to the wto, there's the potential that asian and

south american countries may feel the pinch of free trade as china

moves to a global economy.
