I NEED HELP!!! 1.With
the advent of the silk roads, the world became more interdependent. Explain the significance of living in
an “interdependent world.”
2. What
practices did Christians in southwest Asia follow? What factors influenced these
practices?
3. How
is the popularity of Manichaeism indicative of the world of the silk
roads? What are its primary
beliefs and practices?
4. What

5.Create
a chart entitled “Factors leading to the Downfall of Han China & the
Roman Empire.” Have three columns
with Han China on the left and the Roman Empire on the right, with a
column for similarities in the middle.
List as many factors leading to the downfall of each society and
provide a small explanation of each if you think it is necessary.

1.When objects or people are interdependent, they come to rely on each other for survival. As business becomes more and more international, the world is increasingly interdependent, with countries needing each other's help to survive.

2.

Depending on the specific denomination of Christianity, practices may include baptism, the Eucharist (Holy Communion or the Lord's Supper), prayer (including the Lord's Prayer), confession, confirmation, burial rites, marriage rites and the religious education of children.

3.As a world religion, Manichaeism promoted itself as a universal tradition and gained followers through its ability to adapt to the cultural and religious diversity found on the Silk Road. The Manichaean tradition of incorporating the terminology, imagery, and symbolism of other established religions, such as Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Buddhism, became a primary factor in the successful movement of Manichaeism along the Silk Road. The inclusion of elements from other dominant religions made Manichaeism more appealing to foreign communities and cultures by creating a sense of familiarity with local beliefs and by promoting a doctrine of universal truth; in addition, Silk Road trade routes allowed merchants and missionaries to spread Manichaean teachings throughout Europe and across Asia.

4.The health risks of outbreaks and epidemics—and the fear and panic that accompany them—map to various economic risks.

First, and perhaps most obviously, there are the costs to the health system, both public and private, of medical treatment of the infected and of outbreak control. A sizable outbreak can overwhelm the health system, limiting the capacity to deal with routine health issues and compounding the problem. Beyond shocks to the health sector, epidemics force both the ill and their caretakers to miss work or be less effective at their jobs, driving down and disrupting productivity. Fear of infection can result in social distancing or closed schools, enterprises, commercial establishments, transportation, and public services—all of which disrupt economic and other socially valuable activity.
