Periods

After the industrial revolution the Earth left its sustainability (Holocene) era to enter an uncertain future. The Anthropocene period involves the Earth’s well-being since this period of sustainability ended and the Earth has become more susceptible to the destructive ways of its human inhabitants. A group of twenty-eight scientist have recently (2009) gathered to devise a way to ensure humans do not continue their trend towards irreversible damage. These scientist came up with the framework for

economically developed countries in the world. Japan’s economic development begun between the 12th and 17th century, in a period of time that the Japanese refer to as the Edo period. Although specific economic structures didn’t exist at the time, the conditions, both socially and politically, set the Japanese up for a later successful industrialization and modernization. During the Edo period, the ruling government was known as the bakufu. The bakufu had absolute political power over smaller, local governments

from the Muromachi Period through the Edo Period. Winston Churchill once said, “Without tradition, art is a flock of sheep without a shepherd. Without innovation, it is a corpse” (“Bons Mots: Famous Quotes of Winston Churchill,” 1). The Japanese art pieces from the Muromachi, the Momoyama and the Tokugawa period each incorporate/represent Buddhist beliefs and traditions as well as diversity. Each of the time periods introduced a unique piece starting with the Muromachi Period (1392-1573), which

Shifting from the end of the Permian period 250 million years ago into the next era, the Triassic period occurred between 250 and 199 million years ago and was know for further diversifying life on land. After the Permian period, the Triassic period was largely successful in adapting and evolving, as the world was going through many changes. The land mass known as Pangea began its separation, which would be completed in the Jurassic period. The climate was relatively more severe during this time

The Modern Period took place during the 20th century, from the death of Queen Victoria in 1901, to the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. It is one of the most important time periods in human history, and for many reasons. With the beginning of a new era, there was change, with new technology advances like cars, telephones, and electricity, the Modern Period was a huge leap for mankind, it changed the way of life that people were used to at the time.

wealth through trade relations. One of the greatest changes in the post classical period was the rise of Islam that spread across Eurasia and Africa. Even after the Islamic Empire, Dar al-Islam, had begun to lose power by 850 Islam continued to spread, unifying diverse societies and ethnicities through the commonality of culture and religion. Changes in political and cultural traditions during the post-classical period occurred in Africa because of intensive Islamic contact. When Arab conquerors introduced

Japan’s warring state period ended after the consolidation of power by the Tokugawa family in 1603, and the new Tokugawa Period was one of Japan’s most peaceful eras that lasted for nearly two and a half centuries up till 1868. The Tokugawa period had many major developments that alter the lives of how Japanese people functioned during this time period, and one such person who lived during time was Katsu Kokichi (1802 – 1850), who wrote an autobiography, Musui’s Story, showcasing how these new developments

individual cannot be naïve to the past including but not limited to how literature came to. One can understand literature more when they understand the time period the author wrote during and the way they wrote.

classical period lasted from 1750CE to 18252CE. The classical period was characterized by the fact that it had a singable melody, a regular rhythm, and that they generally had a theme in the music that was repeated throughout the song. Three composers from the Viennese school stand out in this time period: Haydn, Mozart, and Beethoven. Ironically, Beethoven suffered from deafness. He was not completely deaf and so he included many dramatic parts in his music, this disrupted the classical period. Beethoven’s

The Edo period, also known as the Tokugawa period-taken from the name of the ruling Tokugawa family-was a long period of peace and order that lasted for about 250 years. This was a remarkable feat considering the fact that this period was preceded by devastating ordeals. The sengoku jidai ("the age of country at war") was the Warring States Period of Japan during which numerous rival daimyos with their individual armies fought each other to gain greater jurisdiction of control over Japan, which was
