October 4th 2011 1. On what philosophical assumptions are the Hongwu emperor’s words and actions based? 2. Do you think that his actions will solve the problems he refers to? Why or why not? 3. Does the emperor’s approach to solving the problem of evil behavior in this excerpt differ from that in the first? If so, how? 4. On what philosophical assumptions are Hongwu’s words here based? Think Chinese philosophy. 5. As an official, what would be your reaction to the emperor’s admonitions? 6. The emperor clearly holds himself up as a model of self-restraint for his officials to emulate. As an official, how would you take this? 7.. Would your reaction be changed if you suddenly learned that the Hongwu emperor had dozens of concubines and consorts, with whom he fathered twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters?
 * Hongwu emperor's assumptions were that people who didn't obey the laws should be chastised. This is called Legalism.**
 * I believe that these actions will solve the problems he refers to because when you are honest and sincere, you are more likely to gain others favor and trust.**
 * The emperor's way of approach to solving the problem of evil behavior in the excerpt differs from the first. They differ because on the first paragraph it was talking about punishments but on the second paragraph it was talking about how to solve these issues and problems.**
 * I am not completely sure with my answer but I believe that Confucianism is the most closest to the teachings of Hongwu. The reason is because he is focused on moral and righteousness rather than having success by being cunning (Machiavellism).**
 * As an official, I would be careful with my own actions because they would reflect on me. I would try to avoid myself from having conflict with the emperor.**
 * I would respect his teachings and how he showed his leaderships to his people.**
 * My reaction would change if I learned that Hongwu emperor had dozens of concubines and consorts because that would be showing the dark side of him. I would also have less respect towards him because fathering twenty-six sons and sixteen daughters is a shame.**

 * 1) How did the Ottomans treat non-Muslims? **They treated the non-Muslims with kindness. However, since they weren't fully trusted they made them pay tax instead of fighting for them in the army.**
 * 2) What were Suleyman's major accomplishments? **He brought the Ottoman Empire to its greatest size. It extended to today's Middle East, North Africa, and even Southeastern Europe. He also allowed people to follow their own religion.**
 * 3) Despite their brilliant rule, what critical mistake did Suleiman and Shah Abbas make? **They both killed or injured their sons because they feared that they might take the power away from them. Instead of their sons, they gave power to their grandsons who had no experience.**
 * 4) What evidence of cultural blending can you find in Akbar's rule? **Akbar brought Turks, Persians, and Indians together in a vast empire. He blended different cultures and produced two new languages. Hindi blended Persian and other local languages. Another language, Urdu, was a mixture of Arabic, Persian, and Hindi.**
 * 5) How did Akbar's successors contribute to the end of the Mughal Empire? **While Akbar blended different cultures, his successors did not follow the policy of religious toleration. As a result, the Mogul Empire enters into a religious conflict between the Hindu, Sikhs, and the Muslims.**

Date: September 10th 2011 > **Kepler:** In 1609, he published first two laws of planetary motion > **Galileo:** He helped improve new theories on astronomy and created his telescope to observe the heliocentric theory. Later, his observations were correct. > **Bacon:** Sir Francis Bacon publicly criticized medieval scholars for saying that the world was geocentric. Also he said they should make conclusions based on what they found on their observations > **Descartes:** He said that everything shouldn't be assumed but rather doubted until they are scientifically proven. > **Isaac Newton:** Isaac Newton was the first to discover gravity. >
 * What were the CAUSES of the Scientific Revolution? Which one do you think is MOST significant AND WHY?**The causes of the Scientific Revolution were explorations and new inventions. The exploration helped the Europeans open their eyes and gave motivation to find the truth to various questions such as whether the Earth revolves around the sun. Also the inventions such as the printing press led to the spread of the new ideas which challenged the old ideas.** **Of the causes of the Scientific Revolution, in my opinion, the discovery of the new lands were the most important because ever since they knew places like Asia, their perspective towards the world began to widen and started to accept new ideas. As they broadened their vision outside of Europe it helped them to start challenging the old ideas and create new inventions. They were also influenced by the Asian culture and their own discoveries. They also imported some ideas from Asia which helped make improvement.**
 * Why might those in positions of authority at the time (Church and government) tend to reject new ideas? **The church and the government tried to reject the ideas of scientific discoveries because it contradicted with what the church said. If people believe in these scientific discoveries or ideas and not believe in church will lose their power in society. They were afraid that they wouldn't be able to win the favor over the people.**
 * Do you agree with Galileo's actions during his trial? Explain. **I agree with Galileo's action during the trial because he was in a forced position where he was suppose to confess that his words were incorrect. If he refused to budge, then he would have possibly been executed.**
 * Make a list of the major figures of this revolution in thinking and what they did. **Copernicus: In 1543,** he was the first discover of the heliocentric theory.
 * Explain the significance of these terms:
 * **Geocentric Theory**: The theory explains that the earth was center of the universe and everything in the universe revolved around the earth.
 * **Heliocentric Theory**: The theory that Copernicus later made saying that the sun was the center of the universe and everything except the sun (including the earth) revolved around the sun.
 * **Scientific Revolution**: It was the time where people started to replace their assumptions with their new theories that they discovered.
 * **Scientific Method**: A logical procedure for gathering and testing ideas.

 * //Question: How did the Renaissance contribute to the opening of the mind in Europe?//**

‍‍‍Renaissance ‍‍‍ helped contribute to the opening minds of the Europe by abandoning the religious beliefs as people focused on their individual success. Renaissance helped everything in Europe to revive or reborn after experiencing the disastrous period of the Middle Ages. R‍‍‍enaissance was the period where people changed their perspectives as they started using reasoning and logic to solve a problem. ‍‍‍ They didn't rely on what the church or the pope's words but they were able to have their own logic and reason. The change in thought helped change Europe drastically as they caught up on literature, science, philosophy, and etc. This period helped them open the minds of the people by making them smarter as they helped bring change in Europe.

**Why Europe Gains Dominance?** Europe gains dominance over the world because they were able to overcome the Middle Ages. After they overcome the Middle Ages, they started to think with logic and scientific reason. They are no longer restrained by religion and started to gain knowledge. Since gaining knowledge they tried to question the church's authority and caused some conflict between the people and the pope. As people gained intelligence they started to think in more of an abstract way instead of being dependent on the Church. Since then, they flourished in technology, science, art, literature and etc.

**Question : Read pages 37-39 in your text (including the box on bottom of p.39 dealing with "Renaissance man and woman") and answer the following questions. Please, UPLOAD these answers into your WIKI WORK PAGE!** 1. How did the cities of Italy help create the Renaissance?

Back then, Italy was urban while other areas of Europe were rural. When people are concentrated in cities new ideas can be easily exchanged. As communication was efficient in the cities, they started spreading and helped develop other countries around them.

2. What is your opinion of the Medici family? I think Medici family were an important part of the Renaissance because they helped art expand in Italy, and eventually across Europe. However, they misused their power with their wealth by being a dictator-like leader. I don't like the Medici family because they misused their power for their own benefit.

3. How did Humanism influence Renaissance ideas?

Humanism shifted the attention from God to human beings. In the Middle Ages people studied religion but with humanism they learned history and literature.

4. Why did church leaders and wealthy merchants support the arts?

In order to show off their importance to the society, the church leaders and merchants supported arts that were very expensive.

5. What were the similarities and differences between upper-class Renaissance men and women?

The Renaissance men and women were expected to excel in fields like art. They were expected to be charming and witty as well. However, the women were not expected to seek for fame while the men were expected to seek fame.

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 these qualities that describe the Renaissance man and woman emphasizes the individual. These people had high esteem towards themselves and tried to seek for their own glory and fame. One quote from the Renaissance men section said "Let the an we are seeking be very bold, stern, and always among the first where the enemy are seen". This shows that men took a lot of pride in themselves and wanted to stand out and show their own importance rather then the group that they fit in.

**Many Hats of the Historian** > // Hogflesh was punished for heretical reasons according to the written fact. The main point of the article is Hogflesh's punishment could be looked from many different perspectives. // > //According to Arnold, the role of a historian is to create a narrative that would last for long time. To do so, the historian must be a good storyteller, that is he or she must be a good interpreter of events. According to Arnold, a historian should have the perspective of the detective, judge, political analyst, and philosopher. I agree with his assumptions because the historians should have a lot of different perspectives. I think the historian doesn't need to play more roles because if there were too many roles, then there could be too much confusion.// > //‍‍‍‍Treating source with fidelity means that historians trust the record from the start and they do not omit a record because it does not suit to their taste.// > ‍‍‍‍ > //A single event can be interpreted in more than one way depending on the number of hats the historian wears. One example that I could think of was when I couldn't memorize my vocabularies. That time, I claimed that I was focused but the vocabularies were too many to memorize. However, my dad and the teacher said I didn't put my full effort and gave up too easily on memorizing them. There could be different interpretations depending on who views it, whether it is your perspective or the other's perspective.// > //This is reflecting upon the same story as what I told you about in question 4. We both remember this incident because for Steven Academy quiz during the summer, I was forced to memorize 50 words. I tried and I tried but it didn't work. However, my dad looked at it in a different way. So it isn't really possible for an historian to be completely objective.// > > //If the historians practice subjective history then they will get the facts correctly but there may be cons like having little or no interpretation. I remember the event very clearly but I am pretty sure my father doesn't know this really well. This tells that history may be based on facts and further details like interpretations. We both got the facts right but how we viewed it was different from one another.// > //Every historian is a storyteller because they first tell the facts and interpret the thought through what they want the story to be heard like. There are myriad versions of every story because everyone might have a different point. For example, in The Three Little Pigs, there were conflict between the 3 pigs and the wolf. The story was written in the perspective of the pigs and they say that the wolf sneezed their houses just to eat them. However, on the wolf's point of view he might say that he was trying to get sugar and accidently sneezed as the fragile houses blew away. This is the reason why we can't trust historians. The historians should only give the facts and let the readers or the listeners interpret themselves.// > > //My view of historians and history changed a lot after reading this story. I first thought that history was all about the facts and what the historians told us were non-opinonated. However, I learned that depending on the roles of an historian the perspectives that they give to other people may change. I would approach the history by excluding the opinions and learning only facts so I could interpret and make analysis of my own.//
 * 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?
 * 1)  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?
 * 1) 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?
 * 1)  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?
 * 1)  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.
 * 1)  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?
 * 1)  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?
 * 1) 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?

Date: August 9th 2011 **Question: Why is an understanding of culture necessary in order to understand history?**

Understanding culture is necessary to understand history because culture provides important meaning to history through artifacts, mentifacts, and sociofacts. An artifact can be an artwork, a tool, or any kind of physical objects that represent the country. A sociofact is a type of an event and institution that helps bring people together. A mentifact is people's ideas, beliefs, or values. ‍‍‍‍For example, a pyramid in Egypt which is an artifact, is just a pile of rectangular rocks unless there is a meaning provided through sociofacts and mentifacts. ‍‍‍‍ We can see that there must have been so many people involved in building the pyramid in order to force them to work. We can see that Egypt must had a slavery system which is a sociofact. A slavery system was created because they believed that people were not created equal when born which is an example of a mentifact. They were motivated to build the pyramid to reach the sky because they believed in the afterlife which is another example of mentifact.‍‍‍‍So without culture to provide meaning there can be no history. Therefore, culture is an important content of history. ‍‍‍‍
