Political status for women was possible, but only for those who were in the upper class and were important to society. Islamic and Christian women were viewed very similarly though they were from different religions; however, Islamic women were treated better. In Christian Europe, around 1000 B.C.E until around 1200 B.C.E, it was the dark ages. Because of educational and religious traditions, women had restrictions on entry and participation in the workforce. Women’s restriction in the workforce was also because of their forced dependency on men and poor socio-economic status of women.
American’s had little disease at this time because isolation did not allow for contact with the other people to contract their diseases and they did not have domestic animals. The lack of trade and domestic animals made the Americans not as infectious as the Europeans, which eventually ended in their downfall. Next, strategy played a very important role in the conquest over the empires of America. The Aztecs, Mayans, and even the Incans had no formal written language. Europe, however, had the printing press and books.
Rome and Han China Rome and Han China were separated by thousands of miles which made them develop independently of each other, but they both managed to flourish at the same time. These Empires have impacted the world around them with their differences in technological developments, other differences they had can be seen through individual economic status and government ideas. A specific example could be the idea of choosing emperors in Rome based on republic ideas versus China which had emperors based on the Mandate of Heaven. While these empires had differences, they also had similarities some examples being agriculture as a main source of income, militaristic views, new religion developments, and patriarchal family structures. Having aggressive neighbors although being so far apart was one similarity in Han and Rome because in order to protect themselves from them they needed a strong military and also needed to build protecting walls.
1993 DBQ Although the New England and Chesapeake region settlers originated in England, clearly contrasting lifestyles resulted in two quite different societies. New England strictly followed their Puritan beliefs, being unified as one, while the Chesapeake region emigrated from England to the New World for wealth and economic reasons. Differences in social, political, and economical customs were quickly formed. Social beliefs and morals between New England and Chesapeake region were entirely opposite from each other. Puritan morals were the dominant beliefs of New England.
Confucianism gave women a lesser importance in society than men. Whereas, Taoism was more about the 'self' than the society, while also giving equal importance to bot the sexes. Both philosophies also had several similarities. The biggest one being their teachings, a lot of which were taken from scriptures that already existed. Confucius himself admitted that what he taught wasn't anything new.
Although this is true, China was much more open and positive towards technological advancements, while Rome was more of a class-divided society, which in turn causes the general opinion on technology and advancements to be low. It should be noted that all of the documents herein are sourced from men who are wealthy and or government officials. In order to correctly state each society’s views, there should be a document sourced from a woman, a minority, and or a lower class citizen. For example, in Doc. 7, an upper-class roman philosopher and advisor to Emperor Nero, stated “...invented by someone with a mind that was nimble and sharp, but not great or elevated.” When referring to the hammer and the tongs, his point of view is that rather than making something meaningful, they use their sharp mind for making manual labor easier thus encouraging laziness.
What always struck me as bizarre punishing administration back in 1500’s Europe, was the complete lack of crime distinction. Therefore the penalty for all crimes was the same. This approach to sentence is completely barbaric and uncivilized by the standards of the times we live in now. A character from Thomas More’s Utopia, Raphael Hythloday, doesn’t fail to mention this problem either, although the story was published an entire half a century earlier. Though the punishment was brutal, the number of criminals never decreased.
Because most laws affect women as much as men. The final point made on the leaflet was simple: 'Because, to sum up all reasons in one – it is just. 'This piece of propaganda fueled the whole sufffragete movement. Another argument Was that if women were not given the vote then they shouldn't have to pay tax. Though through many debates with the government, the government still did not award the suffragettes with the vote until 1894.
However, this period where so many great changes had been made in the church, in literature, and in all other artistic areas, women took a big step backward in their fight for equality. Women were thought of as property, owned first by their fathers, and then their husbands. This is only true, however, for the upper-class. Commoners during this time were not affected by the new social reforms. Lower class women still could own properties and shared many responsibilities with their husbands.
The Irish, Italian, and Japanese all play a significant role in the immigration history of the U.S. and they all have similarities as well as differences. All three of those immigrant groups were at first denied many things in America and they were not paid well by anywhere they worked. With that said though, the Irish and Italians never had to go through anything like the internment camps that the Japanese dealt with while at the same time the Japanese were not being constantly insulted for everything about them by Americans like the Irish were for so long. These are all ethnicities that make up the United States today and without them and their immigration history, the country would not be the same as it is today and we would be lacking that ethnicity in the melting pot that is America.
