The Advanced Technology of Ancient China, Japan and Maya By: Victoria Nienhuis Throughout history, the advancement of science and technology has had a clear impact on the development of civilizations. You may ask yourselves, “How have these technological advancements helped the world?” What you may not know, is that the discoveries of these civilizations have affected all areas of life greatly, in ways that you see in everyday life, yet not give any notice. These advancements have helped ancient Maya, China, and Japan contribute to the world today. Through the development of technology, these three ancient civilizations were able to greatly influence the world around them and continue to do so today through the invention of gunpowder, ancient China, the samurai, ancient Japan, and the calendar, ancient Maya. The advancements of ancient China have had one of the largest impacts on the world.
Then he added new laws to make sure that everyone was protected by the laws. This set of laws was called the Justinian Code. It was so well written that it became the basis of laws for many countries throughout the world. Emperor Justininan's reign affected the world. Justinian had a passion for the arts and for religion.
Many people in the Elizabethan Era thought God put us in the center of the universe because they had the i-am-so-important personality which clearly explaining why everything revolved around them, Imagine that! :) Theories of the Elizabethan Era previously seen as fact in the science community are now mere science fiction, however, such theories are the ones who have paved the way to our modern society.This goes to show that we all can make a faux pas once in a while but someone take and make it true. :) The Elizabethan Era was an age of exploration, it was one of the greatest outbreaks for the study of Astronomy even though it was a controversial subject. Astronomy is simply one of the many sciences studied by physics and chemistry looking into the chemical properties and behavior of its celestial bodies(Alchin).This era contained some of the most famous scientist know today from Nicolaus Copernicus to Isaac Newton. These scientists are very important to the modern science community because they are the ones that vastly changed our views of space.
Marcos Galan Jr. 2/16/12 My Comparison Between John Locke & Thomas Hobbes Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were two of the utmost political and philosophical theorists of their time and ours. Both philosophers each provide marvelous philosophical texts on how our government should govern us. Both contributed their ideas to the Enlightenment and made an impact all over the world. John Locke’s ideas influenced the United States Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Federalist Papers while Thomas Hobbes’s ideas refuted England’s parliament. Notions like these have sculpted governments throughout history and still hold true in our current times.
Many people devoted a lot of time and effort into making these times so good. From King John to Thomas Aquinas, many people playing very different roles were able to make this such a progressive era. Religion played a great deal of influence on the high middle ages and although many movements and orders were being derived from Catholicism it remained the religious victor of the high middle ages through the success of the Crusades and the Inquisition. Another reason why this era was so rich would have to be the advancement of philosophical reasoning. One of the top philosophers of this time was Thomas Aquinas.
On the other hand, the influence of Aristotle’s works and doctrines on the cultural developments of civilization is, in most fields, elusive and indefinable. Especially in the province of science-if we use “science” in the stricter, modern sense-it may be found that Aristotle’s influence is very limited, or effective only in the sense that mistakes, eliciting opposition, criticism, and new solutions to old and new problems, are the starting point of scientific progress. Positive influence and starting points for positive developments are found, for the different sciences, much more frequently in the works of Euclid and Ptolemy; of Hippocrates and Galen; of Archimedes; of al-Arabic, Ibn Sina, and Ibn Rushd; possibly of Boethius; and, back through Boethius, of Nicomachus of
People looked more towards human reasoning and science for their answers to everyday questions. Significant leaders introduced a new human reasoning which altered ideas that allowed some colonists to solve problems that had been previously answered by God. Before, God dictated how much money a person earned or how wealthy someone became. But now, they
We may not know the same subjects as previous generations, but we are adapting to the ever changing world around us. Calling us the “Dumbest Generation” is a bit harsh considering that our generation and previous generations were taught in different societies. Our generation is the generation of technology, while the generations before us weren’t exposed to the technologies of today. Of course, no generation is going to admit to being less educated than another generation. Each generation would consider themselves the smartest, but to others that might seem farfetched.
“It would be misleading to think that all these factors influenced all scientists to the same degree. However, a major component of anyone’s theoretical outlook is his religious worldview (which could be atheism or agnosticism, as well as a traditional religion). Worldview had a far more significant influence on the origin of old-earth geology than has often been perceived or acknowledged. A person’s worldview not only affects the interpretation of the facts but even the observation of the facts. Another prominent historian of science rightly comments about scientists and non-scientists: ‘men often perceive what they expect, and overlook what they do not wish to
Because the method which applied in science, e.g. observation, predicting, measurement, and explanation. These methods are also applied in political science. That is why political science is also a science. The behavioral revolution in Political Science, advanced tools and techniques of research, concepts and models borrowed from other sciences have enriched political studies and have imparted it greater scientific character.
