Week 6

Movement for Independence 

We started in class talking about the problems of Eurocentrism and the Catholic church perspective    

on colonialism. The main point that stuck to me about Eurocentrism is the point about who decides 

what is correct or not. We tend to favorites Europeans making them seem superior to the other when 

there is clearly other achievements in the world that isn't in Europe. when i think of other 

achievements, another country created that is used today is the Chinese and how they created 

Fireworks. We then talked about the Catholic church in their thoughts colonialism. We talked about 

"social sin/ structural evil" which is when something is accepted by society but is not right or just. 

When thinking about today, most of the production of our technology is a great example of this in the 

current day. We buy the things we want and not think of how it was made.  most of our products are 

not even made over here and is assembled in other countries where there is less restriction and able to 

make labor cost go down. Everyone knows this is something that goes on in our society, but we still 

support it when we buy theses products. Other products that are the same reaction is our clothes, 

shoes, food, and supplies. The thought in where the future may see this a something horrible that we    

did like us seeing what the past has done as well.

Week 12

Chapter 21  In chapter 21, the book talks about the two main communistic countries that rose. These countries  were Russia and China. In the definition of Communism from Marx, there were only two ways to  make change to capitalism in where the people come together to reform or to violently act for the  change. however, for a Country to rebel and come communist, the country has to industrialize. This is  where Russia and China become interesting because they were not industrialized but rather more  traditional but were able to skip the step and become communist. The main goal for communism was  to have equality to everyone. This included women where they were given more rights then the other  countries that weren't communist. the chapter then goes into the Cold War where the two power  houses of the world were the Soviet Union and the U.S. the war was wars against other countries that  the two power ...

Week 13

Chapter 23  Strayer starting with the picture of a space view of the Earth has many meanings behind it. I believe  the photo represents how if we look from an outside perspective we are one, but getting closer we are  divided and have different views.  Strayer talks about Anthropocene which broken up means Human  Era. this Era is where Human history is also affecting Earths history. As humans are progressing, we  are creating products that are either destroying or replacing the Earth's material. We as a society is  playing the role of God and controlling what is made or destroyed. The prime example is our cars  where we are releasing pollution into the atmosphere. However, we are changing that by making  hybrids or fully electric cars. Humans are also recreating land masses like island, rivers, hills, and  many more. We have even built cities on top of landfills that hit its maximum capacity. The chapte...

Week 2

Chapter 13  In class, we talk with Europeans were starting to to explore and why they had an advantage. At first, I thought they were exploring to see what else is out in the world. In reality, they wanted to find a  better way to get into the Indian ocean trade. I then remembered back to learning about Columbus  and how Spain wanted to find a way to India for spices. I didi not know that the Indian Ocean trade  was also called the Sea Road even though it is self explanatory.  We then went on about how China  was unmotivated by going to The Americas because they were good where they were. Then it got to  the information that we learned in earlier years of schooling about the Native Americans. We then  went to discussion about Europe and if acted upon genocide to the Native americans. During the  discussion our groups I accidentally said Indians rather than Native Americans. I then corrected  my...
