1) What is absolutism?
Absolutism means s ince the kings received their power from God, their authority was absolute. Under absolutism the king has the power to make laws, administer justice, control the state's administrative system, and determine foreign policy.

==== 2) Explain the justification for absolutism referred to as the 'divine right of kings'. ==== The divine right of kings basically means that the power given is absolute no one can argue about it.

==== 3) List the causes of the rise of Absolutism in Europe. ==== There are two cause of the rise of Absolutism first people need a powerful kings during a period when the countries are ruined by power and weak they need a king that have complete influence of power. Second the Protestant Reformation made an absolutism to rise in Europe because it made papal's power to decrease and also secular events needed a strong ruler who would guide the nation.

==== 4) In your opinion, is absolutism a good way to rule? Can you think of a situation where it might be a positive thing? ==== I think absolutism is good for some case, when the country is chaotic, or a week nation. They need an strong ruler that has a strong charisma that can influence all over a place. You can think Korea as an example. Park Jung Hee ruled korea over 20 years, but as he rule the country. He made a base for Korea that can stand up like a powerful country. But too much absolutism are bad because it could accumulate the anger and blow it up at one point. Like France july revolution. So I think mixture of democracy, and absolutism are the best.

Wall street is a main street, its has high developed career, why wouldn't anyone occupy on wall street, you can earn much more money than other place.
 * **Why have people decided to Occupy Wall Street, and other financial areas in major cities the world over?**

People who works at poor career will oppose to those who works at Wall Street. They will think, 'We had Parents same Education, we have same conditions of learning why only them?' They will be blooming them(those who works at Wall street or in major cities).
 * **Who might oppose those who are occupying Wall Street or demonstrating? Why are they opposing them?**

An Age of Explorations and Isolation, 1400-1800 Cornell Notes

A) The Yuan dynasty was founded in 1294. The Ming Dynasty was founded in 1410. The size of Yuan Dynasty was bigger in size, according to the historical document. ince they were from mongoIs their land had tendency to go upward. As a result the Ming Dynasty ruled over more than the Yuan Dynasty.
 * Look carefully at the Yuan and Ming Dynasties and make some generalizations about China under those dynasties. Size? Change from previous dynasties? From your reading, make any observations you can about the two time periods. **

A) Confucianism, was the thing that changed the chinese attitude towards other people other than them. Confucianism says that the foreigners and merchants shared the tao, the interaction of natural forces. Depending on tao it changed people's rank so obviously it changed the attitude.
 * While reading pages 49-50, explain some of the factors that affected the Chinese attitudes toward foreigners.**

A) The new capital might be in distance of 75,000km and be able to house 2.5 million people.
 * On p. 53 Menzie notes that the new walled capital was to be "fifteen hundred times the area of walled London at that time and housing fifty times the population". SO, using your math skills, refer to the following map and figure out how big that new capital would be. **

**Can you find the old city in the modern city? Where is it? What is there now?** A) I can not find the old city in the modern map however I can see the outline of the country. Since our generation is well developed in Geographically it was hard.
 * Compare the map of the great walled capital Zhu Di built (above) to the map of modern China (below). The Forbidden City is now the Palace Museum, and is located at the centre of the map below: **

A) The distance of Great Wall is extended 6000(some people says that it is 6400, however 6400 include Korea's castle as well but I think its not true.)km from Beijing, then the Hwang River would last up next to it.
 * On p. 54, Menzies writes that Zhu Di extended the Great Wall (which is actually many separate sections of wall created over hundreds of years) from 5,000 kms to 6,400 kms. You'll notice, that doesn't mean that the wall was 6,400 kms long. If it WAS, where would it reach if it began at the Yalu River? Use the map in MWH Atlas p A18-19 to estimate where you would end up if the wall really extended 6,400 kms due west of Beijing. **

A) **The silk road goes through India, China, Persia, Egypt, Arabia, and Turkey.**
 * Also on p. 54, Zhu Di sent expeditions along the The "Silk Road", along which Chinese traders journeyed to sell their silks, spices, porcelain and other valuable commodities. This was actually a web of many routes that extended from Xi'an into the heart of the Islamic world. It was clear he wanted to recreate the earlier trading empire of the Chinese.**
 * Question: Through what MODERN countries did the silk roads go? **

The holy roman emperor would take two path. First Path is to sail through the Mediterranean Sea, and arrive near Israel and walk the path of Silk road and arrive china. The second path a bit dangerous path but a effective path travel down the Mediterranean Sea and go down the Nile river and go all the way to China. By thinking other way they might use other country by using force, because roman empire is strong.
 * Holy Roman Emperor:**


 * Emperor of Byzantium:** The Emperor of Byzantium journey is much simple however it took more than 7years and had lots of dangerousness so they need army as well. They took the silk road after crossing the Turkey.


 * Doge of Venice:** Might take the path of Byzantium or Roman Empire choice is on their hand.


 * King of France:** Sail the mediterranean sea and take the path of Byzantium or Roman choice is on their hand.


 * King of Castille:** They might choose to go out and sail Mediterranean sea and choose Byzantium way's or Roman way's(the first one). Since tis country was strong as well they might use other countries, to explore to Beijing.


 * King of England:** Some biking's might choose the second choice of Roman empire or they might go around the Africa. This possibility is possible because historically they are recorded as having good sailing skill there are some opinions that they were the first one who went to America. Royal England empire might choose to go to mediterranean sea and choose Byzantium or Roman.


 * King of Portugal:** Like prince Enrike they might go around the Africa and reached Beijing however at this time portucal sailing skill was not that developed so they might go into the Mediterranean sea and chose to go to the Silk road.

===** With the rebirth of thinking and questioning their world in the Western European Renaissance, people began to really "think outside the box". They questioned their lives and how they were governed, they questioned the authority of leaders and the Church and they questioned how things WERE. All of this challenging also led to what is known as the SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION. Read pages 189-194 and answer the following questions thoughtfully and carefully. **===


 * 1) ===**What were the CAUSES of the Scientific Revolution? Which one do you think is MOST significant AND WHY?**===
 * 2) ===**Why might those in positions of authority at the time (Church and government) tend to reject new ideas?**===
 * 3) ===**Do you agree with Galileo's actions during his trial? Explain.**===
 * 4) ===**Make a list of the major figures of this revolution in thinking and what they did.**===
 * 5) ===**Explain the significance of these terms:**===
 * **Geocentric Theory**
 * **Heliocentric Theory**
 * **Scientific Revolution**
 * **Scientific method**

-The Renaissance contributed people to accept new ideas and inventions by opening their mind getting out out from wrong beliefs like church. Human central, the renaissance emphasis on rationality which made to occur religious reformation. So people actually questioned church which they couldn't do before Renaissance. Bot only that Science, Math these stuffs were blocked by religious however after the power of religious decrease it started to develop quickly, and started to challenge theories like geocentrism which was argued by heliocentrism and which was right. Also all people statrted to be educated not only boys. By Renaissance people started to think in other ways people recovered all the progress of education until the black age
 * ‘How did the Renaissance contribute to the opening of the mind in Europe?'**

Question: Why Europe gains dominance? A: Because if you have have power, you can do what ever they want, and control the society, and colonize it. Back then power between pope and king were competitive. Religion vs country. However by renaissance science develop, so they can trust themselves not only king and pope.

1. How did the cities of Italy help create the Renaissance? Italy had three advantages to create Renaissance. First they had thriving cities. Secondly they had wealthy merchant class like merits. Lastly they had classical heritage of Greece and Rome. 2. What is your opinion of the Medici family? They are the family who supported Italy doing renaissance so I think they are good. 3. How did Humanism influence Renaissance ideas? Humanism is trying to go back and understand the Greek values. Which influenced artist and architecture. Which result Rome beautified and other cities. 4. Why did church leaders and wealthy merchants support the arts? The wealthy merchants will make them earn money after the art popularized, and the church leaders will patronize it.

5. What were the similarities and differences between upper-class Renaissance men and women? Men and women were educated. Men had more advanced education than women, just inspiring art, not to create.

6. After reading the "Analyzing Primary Sources" box, respond to this question: Do the qualities called for in the ideal Renaissance man and woman seem to emphasize the individual or the group? Give evidence in the documents to back up your answer! I think the qualities emphasize for the group. For instance look at this sentence. "Let the man we are seeking .....". This assume that people these days wants to have a behavior attitude of Renaissance.

Vocabulary 1. In section 1, //Heretical Beliefs//, the historian gives his account of a historical event. What is happening to Hogsflesh? What is the historian's ��story�� or main point of the article? He declared that he had been convicted for heretical belief, and got burn. The main point is that many people have no power to fight back against the religious power so they just do what the government or the pope said so. 2. What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agree or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles? The role of history is to record and report about what he oir she find or saw. That was the basic thing that he said, I kind a but i'll just add to it. Because I think history is mainly focused on winners, or that mood of the society maybe, so I think there should be recording on many views of looking events. 3. What is meant by ��treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?�� Remember to put your response in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references? Not sure 4. How can a single event be interpreted in more than one way? Can you think of an event in your life that historians could interpret with differing points of view? In my opinion depending on how big the event is it matters the size of influence. For example world war effected in human life, arts, how people live, economy, army....etc In the point of germany they lost and they have to pay all the money for the repairing the Europe. In the point of America they earn a lot of money by sending weapons and troops. 5. Talk to a family member or friend about something that happened to you both a long time ago. Examine how you both remember the incident and write about it. With that in mind, when attaching meaning to history, is it possible for a historian to be completely objective? Use examples from the incident you just discussed to reinforce your response. I remember falling of the branch while sitting on the branch with my friends when we were about 7 years old. Well we didn't really fought we just cried i guess and just tell what happened to their mom. In my point of view i had to say to my mom beneficially so i said he is taller than me so I fell off from the tree because of him, but looking at my friend's point of view he said, he swang on a tree so It's his fault. Humans are animals which prefer thinf\gs that are benefit to them. So when historian record history they will say something good about something sad about. So it is a lie that there isn't any opinions to history. <span style="color: #47470a; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">6. What problems may arise when historians practice subjective history? In what ways may subjective history be beneficial to the study of history? Think back to the incident you just discussed with your family member or friend. Why did it make sense for you to remember the event the way you did and for the other person to remember it the way he or she did? What does this tell us about history? They will fight for their own benefit but also for their countries honor. Looking at history in subjective way might be a good way to understand others or other countries situation. <span style="color: #47470a; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">7. Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historians? Why or why not? <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;"> Storyteller is just story teller it comes form mouth to mouth to him and her it can be change and be changed again. So we can't believe storyteller. <span style="color: #47470a; font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">8. How did your view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views? ===I'm a person I can't throw my habit just reading this article, but I'll try to look history in many views which I did do before but it is hard becuase those books or text books are views from their own countries so unless I see what exactly happens it will be hard.===

Q: Why is an understanding of culture necessary in order to understand history?

A: Understanding a culture is necessary to understand a history. Because Culture and history has really intimate relationship each other. Let��s say you are learning a Europe history. History is a characteristic of a country what they did, and the area is restricted like country or a continent. Culture follow the country, like france culture is near france. However unlike history it can effect or overlap another culture. <range type="comment" id="797338">For example like in spain there is a lot of islamic stuff and tendency left over because muslim had governed Spain. So if you don��t know the culture you can not match the situation and how it <range type="comment" id="656145">effected this event or wars, and it is better to understand. That��s why in order to understand history you need to understand culture as well.
