Innovation In The Atlantic Ocean

The Vanguard of the Atlantic World by James Sanders seems to do little more than reiterate the concept that American republican modernity was debated by various countries located in Latin America in regards to their status as a united global political power. Not to say that these nations were united in terms of alliances, or treaties, but rather that some intellectuals adopted the concept of a “sisterhood” of republic democracies. The analysis of the political systems in Latin America after their independence from European nations is not where the disappointment lies, but rather the lack of context given to various components in his research that were supposed to show the transition of Latin America during its state of transformation from colonial territories to independent republican nations.

This is a curious type of book, Bernard Bailyn’s small 111 page historiographical essay that has, to some, a confounding thesis. Bailyn analyzes and argues the origins of Atlantic history as a discipline of study and how it fits into the realm of the wider studies of world history. Simply divided into two parts, the first part titled “The Idea of Atlantic History”, gives a synthesis of the fire that ignites the ideas and exploration of a new field of focus and teaching. Seismic historiographical shifts in politics, propaganda, and journalistic musings surrounding the World Wars and Cold Wars sparked ideas and new avenues to explore. In 1955, these shifts encouraged historians such as Jacques Godechot and Robert Palmer to produce some of the

In this week’s chapter The Atlantic World which introduces the history from prehistory through 1566, there were two themes that stand out for me which are: The Big “C”s, Conquest, Commerce, Colonization, & Conversion and Race. The history resembles on the European expansion and the discovery of the Americas by Christopher Columbus. Christopher Columbus was the first person to discover the American continent. The New World was another name given to America. The American territory differed in social, economically and politically. America was divided by three societies: Aztecs, Mayan and Incan which belonged to urban societies. Colonization was a breakthrough for both continents. They adaptation was about to begin, there were new things that one continent had

In the late 1700’s, the main conflict throughout the Atlantic was freedom to all. This period showed many views from different people in ways in which they tried to express the word. People in the America’s and eastern nations such as France were trying to rebuild their nations with an idea that all men are created equal, that they are given the right not from authority, but by birth. From the “Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen” in France which was their laws to give men freedom, to a wealthy man in Venezuela named Simon Bolivar who helped free his country from Spanish rule only to struggle with making his country a federation after the destruction, you see that freedom is hard to concur. Independence cannot only be observed

The study of the Atlantic as an interwoven community is a relatively new theory. Historians are beginning to see Atlantic History as “a sudden and harsh encounter between two old worlds that transformed both and integrated them into a single New World” , and not just separate entities with detached pasts. Atlantic History: Concept and Contours by Bernard Bailyn lays the framework for what Atlantic History is and how it should be studied. Bailyn states that the reasoning behind writing the book is that previous historians focus too much on the imperial history of the Atlantic world, when in fact the colonized areas had just as much of an effect on European powers as Europe had on their colonies. In this concise two part book, Bailyn’s main argument is that the concept of Atlantic History was inevitable because it is impossible to look at any major event of this time period without seeing its effects ripple throughout the entire Atlantic world.

Alongside the entrepreneur spirit, Innovation is the process of taking new ideas and implementing them into the market. Key word being “new”, an innovation can be sometimes viewed as the application to better solutions that meet new demand-requirements, inarticulated needs or existing market needs. Innovative ideas range from: goods, services, products, processes, services, technologies or ideas that create value for which customers will pay for. For an idea to be an innovation, it must be replicable at an economical cost and must satisfy a specific need. This means is that one must be ready and willing put their new idea to the test. On the other hand, there is recognition that “innovation is also critical to cultural, environmental, social, and artistic progress as well” (Bullinger, 2006). With this stated, high-tech innovation is ultimately the reason why we can be thankful for the many new conveniences of the 21st century. Although we might see the forefront of innovation being very prominent in today’s world, innovation is truly nothing new. From the start of modern man times, innovative ideas have paved the way for civilization to advance and develop into what we are today and at the same time, we have barely begin to chip away at the tip of the iceberg of our true human potential. Some scholars believe that innovation is a

There were many changes and continuities within the Atlantic world. The first and biggest change was the change in the caste system in Mexico. The next big change was the slaves in which they exchanged in the Americas. The final change was the change mercantilism to capitalism in Europe.

Joint-stock company: Joint-stock companies are companies made up of shareholders, who all invest in this company and receives some of the profits and debts. Joint-stock companies opposed the strict, traditional European economic standards which revolved around just prices, where profiting was looked down upon, and reciprocity, in which trade was for mutual benefit. However, this created problems, where investors were more and more determined to acquire more shares, creating more tension between social classes, as the rich became richer and the poor became poorer.

The Atlantic Ocean. It is one of the five oceans in the world. It is home to many fish and other creatures. It is one of the five oceans that actually intrigue me. My questions were, How big is the ocean itself, what life lives here, and the trade routes of this ocean.

How did the Atlantic System affect Europe, Africa, and the Americas? (The Earth and Its Peoples, 500)

When considering the Atlantic World, we tend to think about the history of how it all began, the middle, or the passage of the slaves from the Old World to the New World, and lastly, how it all came to an end. But in between the beginning, middle, and end there is much more than what we believe it to be. We must gain a complete understanding of why these people came to the justification of their actions and how it molded the interpretation for centuries after the “beginners.” Throughout the migration of people from the Old World to the New World, a variety of historical perspectives were gained as well as lost. One in particular being that of human beings. We can then begin to question whether this is something that was gained or lost within the lines of migration.

The Atlantic revolutions created a very powerful and influential wave of impact on not only the Atlantic world, but the world around it as well. The Atlantic revolutions consisted of the North American revolution, the French revolution, the Haitian revolution, and the Spanish-American revolution. Together, they contributed to the widespread of a whole new ideology and way of thinking known as “enlightenment”. They also created echoes of nationalism, the abolition of slavery, and the emergence of new feminist beginnings.

The “New World”, now known as the “Atlantic World”, is the history of the connections between western Europe and the British, Spanish, Dutch, and French colonies. They were all a part of the great imperial project set off by Europe. The main influence of the Atlantic World was the expansion of commerce from Europe and Africa to America. Some traveled in search of religious freedom, or to escape from oppression, but most were in search of economic opportunity. As this went on, slave trade began rising between Africa and European America. In the mid-eighteenth century, the “Great Awakening” began in Britain, which spread to the Americas, as did The Enlightenment, which helped spread scientific and technological knowledge.
