The Impact of the Spanish to the Colonial Spanish-America and the Ottoman Empire In the quest to explore new land, the Spanish sought the chance to expand their nation overseas and conquered the Colonial Spanish-America and the Ottoman Empire. The Spanish had a great impact on the Colonial Spanish-America and in the Ottoman Empire but the cultural interaction changes were not the same for both. Positive as well as negative change was put upon these two lands which included change in the type of rule imposed by the conquerors, religion, and the impact on culture of both the conquerors and the people conquered. The change by choice or force was what truly impacted the people conquered. There were great differences as well as similarities in the impact of interactions by the Spanish to both the Colonial Spanish-America and the Ottoman Empire.
These factors affect the way businesses are developed and managed within host nations, so special considerations must be paid to the subtle differences in the legal codes from one country to another" (Hodgetts, Luthans, & Doh, 2005, p. 42). One of the countries from which Riordan is considering hiring employees is Pakistan. Four types of laws are viewed around the world: Islamic law, socialist law, common law, and civil or code law (Hodgetts, Luthrans, and Doh, 2005). Islamic law would be a concern of Riordan if Pakistan were considered as one of the countries from which workers would be hired. In addition to considering laws within China, Riordan would have to consider the legal and regulatory environment of the other countries as well.
Joseph Bender Hist 111 Axum and the Maya Elite Much of history is written on perception and potential biasness. Concrete facts can often be hard to come by when looking so far back into the past. The city of Axum represented a few major characteristics; tyranny, Christianity, slavery and militaristic.

The Aztec, Mayan, and Incas differed in many was to that of the Pueblo people. All three tribes practiced human sacrifice but for different reasons; the Aztecs practiced human sacrifice because they believed their God demanded them, the Mayans practiced human sacrifice to maintain order and to maintain
The world’s Muslims differ substantially not only in their religious views but also in their political and social orientation, including their conceptions of government, law, and human rights; their social agenda (in particular, women’s rights and the content of education); and their propensity for violence. The defining characteristics of the main tendencies in Islam are summarized in a typology that we apply on a region-by-region basis. This methodology allows for a more precise classification of groups and for comparisons across regions and allows us to identify in a systematic way the sectors with which the United States and its allies can find common ground to promote democracy and stability and counter the influence of extremist and violent groups. Having begun to lay the foundations for what could be called a “religio-political map,” we explore the main cleavages in the Muslim world, primarily those between the Sunni and Shi’a branches of Islam and between the Arab and the non-Arab Muslim worlds and those deriving from membership in subnational communities, tribes, and clans.
02/10/13 1 Week 2 Assignment HU2000 Do emotion and our instinct to conform to society and authority affect our ability to think critically? In my opinion I feel that instinct provides the platform upon which cognitive skills are built. Since what one thinks depends upon what one believes, and belief has a major emotional component, critical thinking is a difficult skill to develop. Continuous effort is required to overcome one’s tendency to respond impulsively. A few hundred- thousand- years of social evolution have largely codified our instincts and emotional nature with laws devised to minimize and resolve conflict.
The ideologies of both cultures are mixed into one man, Cabeza De Vaca. The cultural and ethnical difference shown in ‘Cabeza De Vaca’, are between the Indians and Spanish conquistadors. The Spanish, at the time, were colonizing all of America, putting their culture and beliefs into the minds of the Indians. They, the Spanish, thought that Indians were savages, and needed to be reformed or die. The Indians took the same approach, showing the Spanish their customs and applying it too them as well.

However, the culture establishes the norms and defines how leadership has to work. A leader is the responsible to understand how to create people alignment in different cultures, and to cause damages to cultures that are not working properly, according to Shein (2004). Dickson et al. (2012) outlines that the way leaders are perceived in several cultures can be compared as culture impact in leadership. Those who do something relevant to society, whose distribution of power is hugely stratified, can be in the future imitated for other cultures.
In this essay I will be defining, exploring and analysing the historical, theoretical and philosophical concept of universal human rights with a particular focus of international devices that have historically been in place and those instruments that still exist today and its applications of human rights both in theory and context with pragmatic examples from different countries, culture and religion. The evolution of human rights in terms of its challenges and successes will also be evaluated. The core of this essay will focus on the controversial clash of culture and religious in practice against the constant attempt in adapting to the idea of universal human rights. Fundamentally this essay will attempt to present both opposite views and
