Ever since the beginning of time, technology has had a huge impact on people and their lives, though it may be controversial. During the first and second centuries the Hans and Romans have had different cultural attitudes towards technology for their people. Based on the given documents some opinions gave a positive attitude towards the technology, some were negative, while others were neutral about the technology of that time. Document three is a source from Huan Tan an upper –class Han philosopher. In this document he expresses how Fuxi, a mythological wise emperor invented the pestle and the motor.
Everett Ferguson tells us that the Christian apologetics of the second century was at an intellectual level with Greek philosophers, and more attention came from the Roman society. This era was given to us by writers such as Aristides, Justin Martyr. Theophilus, and Athenagoras who gave us a rich understanding of apologetic heritage. The Apologists also argued that Hebrew Scripture was given to us earlier than Greek thought, could be interpreted from a Greek perspective, and supports the principles within the Greek history. In light of this information they were able to give us answers to questions regarding the modernism of Christianity, and give us a good understanding of the continuing diversity of the Christian movement.
I am not entirely sure that I accomplished it correctly but attempted to. My understanding of the work changed as I started to think critically about what the story meant. There were many underling or hidden meanings within that one could consider. Thinking critically about something that does not interest, such as poems, seems to be the biggest challenge about the writing process for me. In my opinion, the strength of the essay is within the introduction and conclusion.
Comparing the Root of the Peloponnesian War and the U.S.-Radical Islam Conflict The conflict between Athens and Sparta during the 5th century BC was about more than just land. It was a battle of cultures, two ways of life that conflicted with each other. This ancient culture clash has some striking similarities to the post-Cold War conflict between the United States of America and Islamic fundamentalists. There are many strong parallels between the ancient city-state Athens and the U.S. In the beginning, Athens was a group of several cities or tribes that were later unified.
In the Eyes of the Beholder: Causes for the Civil War Many historians have come across the infamous event of the Civil War from our American history. Although there might be many people who try and collect as many resources that can help uncover the truth of our nation’s past, there will always be many variations as to what the truth is. Therefore, it is safe to say that what is taught in our classrooms today is simply the most commonly accepted theory amongst our population. Historian C’s theory as to why the Civil War happened is based upon the several factors of: fraudulent leadership, bad judgment, emotion, misunderstanding, misrepresentation of each side, and bias. The effect of these factors ultimately led to the Civil War because both the Northern and Southern sections were blinded by their emotions.
Alexander’s destruction of the Persian monarchy created opportunities for Greek administrators, engineers, intellectuals, merchants, soldiers, eta al and those who followed Alexander and his successors could participate in the new political unity based on the monarchy’s principles. His successors used force to establish military monarchies that dominated the Hellenistic world after his passing. Autocratic power became a regular feature of those Hellenistic monarchies and was part of Alexander’s political legacy. It is obvious that his vision of empire inspired the Romans who were the real heirs of his legacy. He left not just a political legacy, but a cultural one which resulted in Greek language, art, architecture and literature which spread throughout the Middle East.
The techniques he used were based on the Greek Philosopher Aristotle’s categories of persuasion, which were Ethos, Pathos and Logos. All three of them are used in the speech and how effective it is, is controversial. After the attack, lots of people had different kinds of emotions, some felt sad, anger and fear. President Bush knew that would be happened to everyone, therefore he used Pathos as his main tool to guide his citizens to the right solutions. He started off with describing the attack in extremely details and included his perception in this situation.
Be Specific! Henry Kissinger defines history as, “History is the memory of states.” This means that the history was told through the powerful, the ones who won wars in history. Kissinger’s meaning of history is compromised of inconsistent accounts from many different people with different intentions. Howard Zinn’s approach differs from Kissinger’s because Zinn would rather history to be told through more of a peoples view. The memory of the people.
Cultures in Motion Discussion Paper Peter N. Stearns discusses in his book Cultures in Motion about how different cultures and religions have traveled and have created a great impact in all parts of the world. It is very interesting to learn how different cultures have traveled around the world and what are the caused of some of those cultures to decline. The interaction between cultures has caused many different results throughout history. Some cultures have adapted certain components from other cultures but often the interacting cultures have gone to war against each other. I found interesting how he says that Egypt and the Middle East contributed to Greece.
The original civilizations that developed so long ago are the civilizations that have shaped our world today; one of the most recognizable of the early civilizations is the Greeks. When one thinks of the ancient Greeks, it is possible that the first thoughts that would come to his or her mind would be the tall pillars often found in Greek architecture, the Spartans defeating the Athenians in the great Peloponnesian War, or perhaps the Olympics just come to mind – but there are many components that helped mold such an intricate civilization. Just like any civilization, Greece had to go through very difficult times; they had to establish trade and develop the proper way to run their country. There were also ingredients such as their art and
