chapters 16, 17, 18

     These chapters were quite interesting. The Echoes of Atlantic Revolutions to Strayer meant:
  • A metaphor of the ever expanding ideas of agriculture
  • How ideas spread and inspire people
  • Began at the Atlantic and got bigger and bigger
  • Occupy Wallstreet

    Popular Sovernty (everyone gets to decide):
  • Who's in charge (the legitamite leader)
  • The process in which the person lead (i.e. the King lead, the Church told him what to do/believe)
  • All average people were servants of the King (we now call this a Public Servant)                   [The President is a Public Servant]
     The people were tired of how they were treated

      The Right to Revolution
  • Declaration of Independence --> gun debate [not just a right to revolution, its a duty]
  • Our Country at some point might need to call us to stage a revolution (If something happens to our government)

     Pre-Revolutionary France:
  • 1% was the aristocracy (wealthy)
  • 1% was the Church
  • 98% was everyone else
     You became wealthy by being born into it
     98% of the "others" had to pay taxes (this included teachers, peasants [middle class & working class]

Quiz 4

2) Please refer to the learning outcomes in your syllabus for this class. Did the course meet these outcomes? Were any of the outcomes not met? In answering this question, cite specific course activities or assignments that stand out to you. After reviewing this syllabus, I have seen that we have covered every learning outcome. We have definitely demonstrated knowledge of political, economic, social, religious, intellectual and artistic experiences of people around the world over time. We began in the Paleolithic Era, and ended in the Post Modern Era. That is a huge gap in time, especially when thinking the Paleolithic Era began 200,000 years ago. To see how far we have come as a species is also very impressive. Not only have we evolved into the humans you see today, but our technology has come very far as well. We began using basic stone tools, and now we have tools that are electric, and cordless. We have come very far in our development. Also seeing how far we have migrated is a...

Ch 13, 14 & 15

     I never knew that the fall of the Soviet Union was seen by a handful of pedestrians. I can only imagine the mixed emotions that people must of felt. I always wondered what people in these types of situations actually think. I feel that they don't know any different, and that's sad. The brutality they were put through is unbearable. I knew that Russia had built the largest territorial empire, but I never knew it made Russian an Asian and European power. I always saw China as a huge empire, but I never associated the two countries. As I continued to read chapter 13, I learned that Europe changed history with their trades across the Atlantic. It was interesting to see that the Chinese, Mughal, and Ottoman empires stayed the same, and Europe continued to change due to their American possessions. They were enriched with new resources such as : corn, potatoes, tomatoes, chocolate, tobacco, timber, gold, silver, and land. I loved the motto at the end of the c...

Chapter 1 & 2

     There is so much in history I never knew. As I began reading I realized how far we as a society have come. Our ancestors made so many changes that influenced our ways of living. I found the realm of the spirit to be very interesting. I always knew that animals played an important role to the Egyptians, but I was unaware how far back our connection went. I am very interested in the cave paintings. I constantly watch shows pertaining to the ancient ways of living, and how the spirits were depicted in many ways. It's interesting to hear how women were perceived to men. I was always curious how they were treated, and to hear they were in a way equal, is very interesting. Its also interesting that women gathered 70% of the meals, and it was mainly vegetables and berries. It's funny that our ancestors have been sticking to the same meal plan for thousands of years. Its also interesting to see how small the Paleolithic societies were. I wonder if they ever imagined a l...
