Answer:

The answer to the question is that, Jonathan Edwards, as portrayed through his speech "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God", believed in a wrathful and vengeful God, and in the fact that man was only kept from going to hell and suffering because of the mercy of God, as long as people did what God wanted them to do. Sinners, are the very representation of that which goes against God´s will, and they are happy to be there. Edwards likens sinners to spiders because spiders are animals that are easily squashed and killed, which to Edwards is exactly what sinful people are expected to receive from God, when the time comes; to be squashed by God for having disobeyed him.

Use the picture below to describe the concrete effects of globalization

klemol [59]

Explanation:

The image below shows some effects of globalization. In the last image we see a boat full of people, symbolizing the era of great sailing, whose aim was to discover new commercial routes beyond its territory. Therefore, through this image we can see that man has always been eager to explore new places and expand his business in search of profitability, this is what happens in the phenomenon of globalization.

Globalization is a phenomenon that has impacted human interactions and has occurred due to new technologies, ease of movement and communication, which has enabled man to seek business beyond his country.

We can also see in other images overpopulated cities, polluting factories and work teams, which demonstrates how globalization has strengthened industrialization, the search for people for job opportunities in major world metropolises and how there is a multicultural environment in organizations, where it is necessary team creativity and innovation so that the company is well positioned and stands out in this globalized scenario where there is a lot of competitiveness.
