Intro to Part 5 + Chapter 16

                            The intro to part 5 talks about the european moment in world history, this includes the european centrality and problem of eurocentrism. The eurocentrism teaches us about geography and history as well as countering eurocentrism. In chapter 16 we learn about the atlantic revolutions and global echoes through the world. The atlantic revolution began by the american revolution and this lead all the way to women gaining rights in the United States. There seem to be many comparisons to the atlantic revolution. One example is the north american revolution and this occured from 1775-1787. Next we learn about the value of the french revolution which happened in 1789-1815. After the french revolution came the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1804 which talked about the revenge of the black army. Then came the Spanish American  Revolution from 1810-1825 which was very effected by the previous revolutions. Lastly we learn how they all correlate together and made a better present state for the world.

Milk and Cookies with the Ndnu sisters

                          

                    One of the events I attended for Foundresses Week was student milk and cookies with the sisters. This event took place on Monday February 8, 2016 at the province center where many of the sisters reside. We met at the quad at 6:30 and then walked down to the province center with one of the sisters. When we got there we could sit at any table with whichever sisters we pleased and i chose the second table and it was really fun. We introduced ourselves and the sisters asked us a bunch of questions like our year in college, hometown, major, and what we want to do with our lives after we graduate. It was a really fun event and i would love to do it again i had chocolate milk with an assortment of cookies and it was a great time. We took a few pictures and at the end the sisters sang a song for us and we helped clean up and went back to the dorms. Overall it was such a fun event and i would love to do it again next year the sisters are very sweet and i love to hear their wise advice and adventures.

Chapter 15+Document 15.2

                                    In the end of chapter fifteen we go more in depth of the religious quests across the world and learn about its correlation to science. We also learn about the beginning of the scientific revolution and its origin in Europe. We also learn how science became a huge deal when involved or added to the enlightenment. This was the time people started questioning religion and science and the enlightenment was the best time. Next we look at science in the 19th century and how it evolved or flourished from the earlier times. European science would also expand to the west but also be found in Asia and other continents. There is also a reflection on cultural borrowing and how it can become hazardous if people take advantage. Lastly in the document we learn about Progression and the Enlightenment this teaches us about the relationship between the enlightenment and the scientific revolution. 

Chapter 15

                           Chapter 15 is all about the cultural transformations and mainly talks about the differences between religion and science. The time frame is mainly set from the middle of the 14th century to the middle  of the 17th century. The first religion they talk about is Christianity then they move to talk about the Protestant reformation in the west. Christianity is spread to almost the whole world in a very short amount of time. Next we talk about the conversion and adaptation in Spanish america. After this we learn about the Asian comparison to religion and learn that in china there are a few jesuits and few people are angry due to the asian cultural traditions. Also we learn about the expansion and renewal of the islamic world. Then china decides to make the cultural tradition back from old times and everyone needs to be one religion. Lastly we talk about India and the divid between muslims and hindus.

Chapter 14+Documents

       The progression of Chapter 14 talks about the fur trade as well as the atlantic slave trade in response to the commerce. The slave trade was beginning to become a a social norm in all parts of the world. This slave trade was becoming universal and was not subject to just only one race, gender, or background. The impact of the slave trade progressed as it became more severe and limited to one race, it began to put a bad name on the salvic people. In the Documents we learn about the feelings and different people's journeys on being a slave. These documents are very eye opening and impressive because we can really feel how they were treated through this literary source.

Chapter 14

             In Chapter 14 we learn about commerce and consequence in reference to the atlantic slave trade. Another popular topic is commerce that occurs in the european and asian continents and its progression to the whole world. The portuguese empire has success with commerce around the world and travels to each continent to share goods. We also talk about trade in both Spain and the Philippines and how they had items that would become precious. The East Indian Companies and commerce in Asia would work together to trade goods. We also talk about the popularity of silver and fur trade around the world.

Intro to Part 4+Chapter13

         This talks about the early modern era and the eras before that would lead up to this time in history. The ages in our time go in this order are paleolithic, neolithic, ancient, classical, and modern era. We also ask the questions like what can be considered modern and if we are still living in the modern era. Some may begin to argue that we have grown past the modern era and are in a more futuristic era. In Chapter 13 we learn about the political transformation and the encounters with different empires.
