New ideas threaten established powers New ideas are what makes a society grow economically, politically and socially, but there are usually two sides to the opinion on whether to take them into consideration. The two sides are: new ideas are great and new ideas are a threat. However, innovations are new ideas that always threaten and challenge societies, which is why societies throughout history have been reluctant to change their lifestyles. Some major innovations, such as religious values, publications, and social interactions, threaten the world's established powers. The spread or encouragement of religions in other countries has been as much a threat to history as it has been to the present. The Qing Dynasty is a great example because the Jesuits spread Christianity from Europe to Asia. However, Christianity was not a threat at first, it was surprisingly welcomed until the Pope in Europe sided with the critics, Franciscans and Dominicans, and ordered the Jesuit missionaries to stop promoting the veneration and services of the ancestors in Chinese (Bently 585). Honestly, if a person wants to spread a religion to new areas of the world, they definitely shouldn't take away the values ​​of the new society to win converts. In response, the Kangxi ruler banned the preaching of Christianity in China because this would change and challenge cultural values ​​within the government and society. In summary, it was not necessarily the religion itself in the beginning, but it was the change in values ​​and teachings that made Christianity a threat to the Qing Dynasty and to Kangxi himself later in time. Furthermore, most people were reluctant to hide anyway, fearing that their powers that be, in this case religions such as Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism... middle of paper... expose these situations are supported. from the fact that 73% of teens are on a social network and 55% of teens have provided personal information to someone they don't know, including photos and physical descriptions (Taylor). Parents see this as a threat because they cannot monitor what their children do 24/7, because 67% of teenagers know how to hide what they do online from their parents and only 34% of parents monitor effectively their own social networks (Thomas). However, the situation still comes to a threat from the government when predators break the law involving involvement with a minor, along with bullies triggering acts of self-harm such as suicide and cutting on their victims. In conclusion, new ideas have the ability to be perceived as good ideas, but in reality new ideas, for example religious values, publications and social interactions, threaten the established powers in the world.
