1.02 Monotheistic Religions In what ways is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths? The Holy land is important to members of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic religion because they have lived on the Holy land for generations and have important religious sites located here. The land is holy for Christians because this was where God’s son Jesus was born, crucified and where he resurrected from the dead. For Jews, it contains many Jewish synagogues and this land was promised to them by Yahweh. After a number of Jews were enslaved in Egypt and once freed, Moses helped them escape through the dessert and after over 40 years of traveling in the dessert they finally made it to the promise land by Yahweh which was Canaan.
What were some of the reasons for the revival of trade and growth of towns and cities in the High Middle Ages? Discuss this with some specific details for different parts of Europe. Also consider the old German proverb “The city air will set you free.” What did they mean by this saying and how does it relate to the growth of urban communities in this time period? Medieval Europe was an overwhelmingly agrarian society with most people living in small villages. In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, however, new elements were introduced that began to transform the economic foundation of Western Civilization: a revival of trade, considerable expansion in the circulation of money, the emergence of specialized craftspeople and artisans, and the growth and development of towns.
His own individual history as a Jew with Aryan features also underlies the meaning he found in his clinical work and the conclusions he reached. Although the core identity is constant once realized, there is a life long development around the core to do with what Erikson saw as standard pressures at each stage of life between the needs of the individual and the requirements of the social group. These are ‘normative crises’. Thus in the eight stages of life identified, each has a normative crisis, and the outcome of this crisis is either positive or negative as far as the development of the core identity goes. The most important stage identified is the fifth, that of adolescence.
Due mainly to personal and family reasons, the majority of the migrants are on a temporary basis. There may be also a difficult distinction between temporary and permanent migration, in general: is a polish emigrant to UK who intends to work in UK until his retirement age, permanent or temporary emigrant? The Polish migration to UK has its origins in the First and Second World War and the disastrous, bloody invasions suffered by Poland from Germany and the Soviet Union, respectively during the XX Century. Reflecting the importance of the Polish migration to UK following both World Wars, in 1947 a "Polish Resettlement Act" was issued, formally acknowledging the orderly establishment of Polish in UK. This British Act facilitated the expansion of total Polish community in UK from initially 44.000 to 162.000 Polish as it allowed those established to bring families over to UK as well as it gave a clear reference to those in Poland wishing to emigrate to UK.
Examine the migration trends in the UK since 1900. Most recent definition of migration is the movement of people from one country or region to another in order to settle permanently, it can be inter, within the society, or international. There are two types of migration; immigration – the movement into an area or society, emigration – movement out of an area or society. Net migration is the difference between the numbers immigration and the numbers emigrating, and is expressed as a net increase or not decrease due to migration. From 1900 until the Second World War the largest immigrant group to the UK were the Irish, by 1921 the number of Irish-born in Britain was 523,767.
Ghettos were set up to be able to have a huge influence on the German population’s view of the Jewish Race and reduce the problem of overcrowding, For example in Poland over 308,000 Jewish people were deported to the east but an estimated 1,500,100 Jewish people were said to be living in Poland when Germany invaded. They need a quick and easy solution to keep control of the large number of Jewish people. This led to building of Ghettos such as Otwock which held 15,000 people and Minsk Ghetto which barricaded 100,000 people in a small confined space. Ghettos were the easiest and quickest way to remain control over such a large population and in the years of 1939 and 1940 enough ghettos were built in order to confine and segregate approximately 3.5 million Jewish people. The built Ghettos then became a crucial part of the German industry.
Written assignment: Crèvcoeur’s Letters from an American Farmer. America had been for many years a kind of savage place for European people. The new people, the new landscape, and the new social situation made the people who arrived to America have to be habituating to that new country in which they had worked so much. Then, we can appreciate the importance of the figure of John Crèvecoeur, who was agreeable to the American government, and Washington gave him particular proofs of his esteem. Crèvecour, who was born in Normandy, finished his studies in England, and then traveled to New York, where he was put in prison.
Francesca Ogilvie Mr. Morningstar M&C History August 29, 2012 In what ways did the Renaissance move Europe away from the medieval and toward the modern? Did the Renaissance help Europe develop and flourish as it is today? The Renaissance was a great era that opened up a chance of progress, and therefore modernization, for Europe. Although it begun in Italy, over a short period of time it had made it’s way to the north and then, eventually, influenced the world in many ways. The Renaissance came after the devastating Dark Ages; where Europe lost 25 million people to the Black Death, and many lost the ability to read and write (“The Black Death”).
As the geographic and cultural distances of immigration countries have increased over time, so has the ethnic composition of Germany. [ii] As such the public perception of immigrants has undergone a great deal of change over time. The history of immigration to Germany can be separated into four distinct phases. In the immediate Post-war years, immigration mainly consisted of ethnic German Refugees expelled from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. In the period from 1955 to 1973 the West German Government sought to address labour shortages via labour recruitment from within Europe using the ‘guest worker’ policy, the recruitment of labour from mainly Mediterranean countries on temporary contracts.
Before World War I, the Middle East region, including the Ottoman Syria (the southern part of which are regarded as Palestine or the Land of Israel), was under the control of the Ottoman Empire for nearly 400 years. The roots of the conflict can be traced to the late 19th century, with the rise of national movements, including Zionism and Arab nationalism. (Though the Jewish aspiration to return to Zion had been part of Jewish religious thought for more than a millennium, the Jewish population of Europe and to some degree Middle East began to more actively discuss immigration back to the Land of Israel, and the re-establishment of the Jewish Nation, only during the 1859 to 1880s, largely as a solution to the widespread persecution of Jews due to anti-Semitism in Russia and Europe.) As a result, the Zionist movement, was established as a political movement in 1897. The Zionist movement called for the establishment of a nation-state for the Jewish people in Palestine, which would serve as a haven for the Jews of the world and in which they would have the right for self-determination.
