Also, due to the large amount of political changes that occurred during this expanse of time, the Silk Road also traveled through the new countries that began when the Roman Empire collapsed. This created the cultures of these nations along the Silk Road. In conclusion, the Silk Road’s basic purpose remained intact from 200 B.C.E. to 1450 C.E., but the important interactions that occurred on it did not. Empires collapsed, causing new nations to form, which in turn brought countless changes to the cultures and the interactions between the merchants and peoples along the Silk
• Groups within European society—including competing monarchs, merchants, impoverished nobles and commoners, Christian missionaries, and persecuted minorities—all had strong, if different, motivations for participating in empire building. • European states and trading companies enabled the effective mobilization of both human and material resources. • European seafaring technology, built on Chinese and Islamic precedents, allowed Europeans to cross the Atlantic with growing ease. • European ironworking technology, gunpowder weapons, and horses initially had no parallel in the Americas. • Divisions within and between local societies provided allies for European invaders.
Discrimination can occur both individually (Interpersonal) and institutionally. Acts of individual discrimination are often both conscious and obvious. They can be dealt with by either removing the person who discriminates from any position where such actions are meaningful or by inducing the person to halt the behavior in question. Institutional discrimination is built into the structure itself. It can be Direct (legal- DE JURE); as a result it is in more covert and more tenacious.
Was Colonial Culture Uniquely American? Yes: Gary B. Nash No: David Hackett Fisher Each of the authors of this spirited debate between the uniqueness (or the lack there of) of the American culture presented compelling arguments for their side. Nash feels strongly that the convergence of the three cultures which he refers to as a tri-racial society, in and of itself created a new and unique culture. Regardless of the origins of these cultures, he refers to the unique blend of diverse environmental factors and peoples caused the development of a variety of cultures that were mostly English, part European, and altogether original. He argued that social development studies showed changes in their social behaviors and their interactions once in their new environment.
These attitudes are exclusive and exploitive. They can be covert, such as in a dress code, or they can be extreme and overt, such as in ethnic cleansing. However it is made manifest, it is successful in making it glaring in communities who is considered quality and who is considered with lower worth. This can allow good ideas to be brushed over or horrible ones to be promoted all because of race. Racism takes away the fundamental personal liberties afforded to us by the Declaration of Independence.
The rise of the Aztec empire saw the Aztecs dominate Mesoamerica in entirety, as far as starting from Guatemala, Salvador, the Honduras, to Mexico. What is strikingly interesting is that both the Persian and the Aztec empires share a lot of similarities, so that it is difficult to limit the analyses of these similarities to the religious front only. The Persian and the Aztec empires share a great deal of commonality in all respects of life, including religion. Because of this interesting aspect of commonality in the ancient Aztec and the Persian religions, it is possible that these religions are from a common stock, so that the concept of ancient global civilization may have been evident. First and foremost, it is important to note that before the advent of Zoroaster Zarathustra, both the Persian and the Aztec religions and mythologies believed in and entertained the idea of a pantheon of gods.
Both the Spanish and the Ottomans built outstanding empires standing on completely different ideas between 1450 and 1800. The Spanish were trying to conquer the new world. At the same time the Ottomans were taking control of Europe. Both of the empires, although very different in ideas, turned out to be quite amazing. Like how the Ottomans were so tolerant in religion differences while the Spanish were not.
The intendancy seats were not arbitrarily created or chosen but were mainly large cities that had once been encomendero centres and were still bishoprics, or long-lasting, large-scale mining centres. The change was realistic in that it recognized the immense growth and consolidation of provincial Hispanic centres that had occurred in the centuries since the first establishment of the viceroyalties, and for that reason it took hold. Less successful was the attempt to introduce similar officials at a lower level in the Indian countryside. Military affairs were a second target of reform. Spanish America had long been defended by a patchwork of viceregal guards, port garrisons, half-fictional militias, and some forts and paid soldiers on frontiers with hostile Indians, but it had not had a formal military organization.
There is a general acknowledgment that without a racial identity you my struggle to have an identity at all. This is due to how people use racial categories to provide an idea to what another person is like. Such assumptions on personalities is tied into preconceived notions that different race’s act differently. This is a great stereotyping which helps reveal what race is in society. It shows how it could be used to fuel racism, it also shows how people use it as a way to gauge other people.
It has motioned an upbringing of ideas that have knocked out the primitive and the pertinently worthless. So can I safely say now that a phenomenon like gender differences and biases is a fact of yesteryears? The validity of this questionable assumption heavily rests on value laden judgments more than objective facts. The choice ultimately is to walk in hand with either one or fuse them into a cocktail of dualistic reality. Christening my opinions collectively as the forward force, I appeal
