Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Influence"

A: It is talking about a view that is stating Christianity has taken away beauty from its place in the idea of human excellence. It is pretty diffucult subject even when it is written in English. A lot to interpret here.

A: Prior to this sentence, there must be a description of far-reaching influence of something on something else. This sentence has the form "No less far-reaching was the influence of A upon B..." This is the same as saying "the influence of A upon B was as far-reaching (i.e. as extensive, as large) as [the influence of whatever was described previously]".

The rest of the sentence describes which aspect of English inflexional endings was influenced by Scandinavian (language, I presume). The aspect is indicated by the preposition "in". So Scandinavian hastened (sped up, accelerated) the "wearing away and leveling" (a fancy way of saying "gradual disappearance") of grammatical forms. Since "inflexional endings" are a type of grammatical form, we can safely assume that this sentence is saying that the reason they disappeared from English was due to the influence of Scandinavian.

Finally, this sentence informs that the described change in English spread from north to south. I.e. first the northern dialects started losing their inflexional endings, and then the southern.

A: ​‎”When it comes to major influences on the growth of children mentally and physically, there is a growing debate over whether the most impacting variable regarding children’s development comes from their parents. Although other factors can affect a child’s growth, I believe their parents play a major role in their child’s development.

There is debate on whether other factors, such as television or a child’s friends, have the biggest role in children’s development. This is because children spend a lot more time on their computers or with their peers rather than spending time with their parents. Most children’s routines consist of staying at school half of the day, and then staying in their rooms on the computer, playing games or watching YouTube, for the remainder of the day.

Although other factors can affect the way that a child grows, the biggest factor in children’s development come from their parents. First of all, children are affected by their parents since the day they are born. This is why parents try to show them only good things or feed them only healthy foods. In addition, the parents always try to be their role models. Whatever the parents do, their children are likely to follow in their footsteps.

For the reasons mentioned above, I totally agree that parents have the most important role in their child’s development. Parents give motivation to their children, and children think about what their parents would do before they make important decisions.”

This should fix some errors :)
