Ap World History Research Paper

1. Based on your reading of the two primary source documents for this module, in what ways do you feel these documents are historically significant? In what ways do documents such as these help historians to understand history? In the end, what were the main reasons for dropping these two weapons on Japan?

All empires sought to foster an imperial identity that transcended more local identities and loyalties.

However, they were allowed to play a part in religion; although it was not a high role, being a monk in the Chinese culture was seen to be the highest level of authority that a woman could be given. There were some differences between the two empires in this area, women in Rome were given the opportunity to become very important in the religion of the Roman people; however they were never given too much power, they would never be allowed to hold a position in office.

A man named Cyrus overthrew the Persian monarch and became the forefather of the Achaemenid Persian Empire. He united the Persian tribes and conquered Lydia, as well as Mesopotamia later on in his rule.

Prior to 600 CE, the unique civilizations discussed exerted their power in many different ways. Some of them, like India and the Chinese Qin Dynasty, enforced their rule using religion, while others, like Rome, Chinese Han Dynasty, and Greece sought to rule using more legal or philosophical methods.

Good evening to everyone in attendance, today I intend to persuade you that the modern day struggles you may endure do not equate to the struggles of an African-American slave like myself during the American Revolutionary period. In the 1770’s, the colonies’ relationship with British monarchy became rotten after an abuse of power and resulted in the American Revolutionary War. I saw the war as a beacon of hope and an opportunity at freedom; unfortunately, while the colonists won, and though the founding fathers of this country advocated in the Declaration of Independence that “all men are created equal”, my status as a slave never changed. Although the American Revolution was able to reform much of the corrupt tyranny the British placed in North America, America’s newly founded government

As the Spring term comes to a close, my Inside-Out class is learning about the trade interest of various empires and settlements in the world during the early 1700s. When I started studying this new topic one of my biggest questions was “ Why did countries go out of their way to not trade with certain countries even though they need their products?” I understand that back then some countries did not have the best relationships with each other, but I don't see why they could not put aside their differences for things that they needed in the trade. Slavery was also a big deal for trade because slaves were one of the few things that were exempt from restrictions and in the article I read about there was a lot of intolerance for African Americans and Indians in the 17th century as well. It seems that the game we are playing in class and the article I read is heavily based on the significance of trade in several parts of the world and lack of tolerance between countries and races.

The twenty-first century has seen its share of civil rights actions. The movements and groups harmed in the United States has been shown support from countries in the Middle East, the UK, and even as far as Asia that are uninvolved but sympathetic and have given support back. When looking back on the nineteenth and twentieth century there was the same connection between countries even transatlantic from Britain to the United States. In a time with revolutions for social and political change and eventually war society was ripe for petitions for minority groups wanting emancipation including Women, Slaves, and Jews. The different groups supported and worked off each other to achieve their goals. The groups helped the others because they understood what it felt like to be marginalized from key aspects of a free and involved life.

Most of the American population believed that the "Indian" people are inferior, treat them as the barbarians, and often as foolish children. The Indians could not claim equal status with other nations, because initially, by their nature they are not equal to the white people.Forcible relocation to Mississippi rivers was a clearing the land for white occupancy and national police didn’t have any changes from 1790s only expansion and reformulation of the law.Since the English settlers arrived in the New World they have continually driven the Native Americans out of their native lands.

The turn of the era brought with it significant change, and many of these changes can be traced back to the economic practices of the era. I agree with the statement because there were significant changes that occurred at the turn of the era as a result of merchants and the business of trade. These significant changes came through the spread of new ideas, religion, technological innovations, and the development of new schools of thought. Merchants were able to bring with them not only physical goods, but intangible goods as well.

To begin, I would like to tell you a little bit about myself. I live at home with my twin brother, Peter, and two parents, both of whom are very supportive and intelligent. My mom works at our family winery, Ovid Napa Valley, and started a community arts center, and my dad is a programmer, and in the process of starting a new company focusing on quantitative analysis. I love to play soccer, read, travel, and to be outdoors. I am also immensely interested in science and medicine. As I am very involved in soccer, during the fall my schedule will be more tight, so I will have to work around that.

The Five Pillars of Islam are lifelong acts of worship, which includes faith, prayer, almsgiving (charity), fasting, and a pilgrimage to Mecca.

My AP World History teacher used to show my class John Green’s Crash Course World History videos on Youtube; ten minute lessons, taught by John Green, aimed to cover a lot of material in a short time. One day, my teacher mentioned that John Green and his brother made Crash Course videos for other subjects, too, psychology being one of them. Psychology had always intrigued me, so I spent that night watching the introductory psychology videos. It was fun, and I wanted to learn more.

Widespread belief that women were intellectually inferior to men led most societies to limit women's education to learning domestic skills. Well-educated, upper-class men controlled most positions of employment and power in society. Traditionally, female family members existed only in terms of their relationships to men. As daughters, subject to the control and whim of fathers, women represented a means of economic or political gain through marital arrangements. As wives, they became their husbands' property, and symbols of power and status. Violence against women served to coerce their acquiescence in this scheme and perpetuate subservience to male relatives.
