 * Q&A on 'The Muslim World Expands 1300-1700' (9/23/11)**

How did the Ottomans treat non-Muslims? - The Ottomans made the non-Muslims pay the taxes, yet not participate in the military. However, they made the Muslims participate in the military, but not pay the taxes. The empire’s rules were easy to follow so that the people can adapt. What were Suleyman's major accomplishments? Suleyman’s major accomplushments were that he brought the empire in to its greatest size it can be. He took control of the entire Mediterranean Sea, parts of southeastern Europe, and North Africa to the far east. Though he lost the battle in 1529 for Vienna, the empire’s belongings were still copious. Despite their brilliant rule, what critical mistake did Suleiman and Shah Abbas make? Critical mistake which Suleiman and Sah Abbas made is that they both had killed/injured all of their sons so that their sons would not overcome their power. Nevertheless, there was no one except for a poor leader to continue out their empire afterwards. This caused the empires to slowly weaken and decline. What evidence of cultural blending can you find in Akbar's rule? It is said in the text that Akbar allowed multiples of religion to be practiced during his reign. This made a blend among the religions and is still practiced today. For example, Hindi blended Persian and local languages and is still spoken in India currently. Some are still being influenced by Abkar’s practice during his reign. How did Akbar's successors contribute to the end of the Mughal Empire? Akbar’s successors had failed to continue the empire for the better. They were all power-thirsty and most citizens rebelled against them. The successors had made new policies and taxes for the people, which angered and irritated them. This caused the empires to fall apart and grow weak.


 * Q&A p.189-194 (9/20/11)**

1. What were the CAUSES of the Scientific Revolution? Which one do you think is MOST significant AND WHY? I believe the causes of the Scientific Revolution was because of the new discoveries made by the explorers in Renaissance. New lands, animals, species, etc from other countries may have motivated them to think logically and challenge what was already accepted from others. I believe the heliocentric theory was the most significant, because this contradicted to religious views and took years of research for it to be proven. 2. Why might those in positions of authority at the time (Church and government) tend to reject new ideas? The church and the government would have been rejecting new ideas, because those ideas went against their teachings and authorities. If people were to find out that the church's teachings weren't right, then they would have most likely questioned and stand against them. These oppositions would have made the church and the government powerless. 3. Do you agree with Galileo's actions during his trial? Explain. I do agree with Galileo's actions during his trial, because he was probably threatened by the church authorities when standing on trial. Even though he confessed that the ideas of Copernicus were false, his books had caught the eyes of many people and led them to an idea that churches' teachings were wrong. 4. Make a list of the major figures of this revolution in thinking and what they did. 5. Explain the significance of these terms:
 * Copernicus & Kepler & Galileo- **Copernicus** stated that universe ran around the sun; however, he didn't prove this theory. **Kepler** soon after proved this mathematically that planets DID revolve around the sun. **Galileo** had built new theories to this by making an observation of the planets, etc.
 * Galileo- he invented a telescope to observe the planets and to add onto his studies
 * Bacon & Descartes- both came up with the scientific method
 * Newton- created 'The Law of Universal Gravitation' and proved that gravity was the key to the force on the planets in space and all matters on earth
 * Zacharias Janssen- invented the first microscope
 * Evanglista Torricelli- invented the first mercury barometer
 * Gabriel Fahrenheit- made the first thermometer which showed water freezing at 32 degrees
 * Andres Celsius- made another scale for thermometer which showed water freezing at 0 degrees
 * Andreas Vesalius- prove animal and human bodies worked differently by detecting human body systems and drawing it in detail
 * Edward Jenner- invented a accine to prevent small pox
 * Robert Boyle- proved that other small particles form to make up matter (Boyle's law)
 * Geocentric Theory - The Church had stated that God had the universe was ran in an earth-centered view and this view of the universe was called the Geocentric Theory.
 * Heliocentric Theory - Copernicus, Kepler, Galileo and many others helped prove that the universe was ran in a sun-centered view. Scientists who contributed to this theory mostly suffered from the church because this theory went against their teachings.
 * Scientific Revolution - People described this as the period of new way of thinking about the natural world. This led the scientist and the people to question the church and to think differently than just religion.
 * Scientific method - It is the procedure of testing and gathering ideas. The steps to it are asking questions, background researches, creating hypothesis, test it, analyzing the results, and draw to a conclusion. Many scientists had used this to prove their theory and for new inventions to be made.


 * How did the Renaissance contribute to the opening of the mind in Europe? (9/6/11)**

The Renaissance, meaning 'rebirth' contributed to the opening of the mind in Europe because the people started to analyze and understand more about the classical education. They started to value their own importance and bring the city back to life again with art and education. Renaissance originated from Italy by its geographic landing (coastal area-trade). Its geographic landing developed trading and the sharing of thought and culture among people from other countries. This new system soon challenged the Church’s power by an idea that the Sun was the center of the universe-heliocentric. Many Christians were taught that the Earth was the center of the universe-geocentric, however this new thought had changed how the people thought of the Church. This caused great sufferings to the Christians, because at the time Church had the dominate control over everything over in Europe. However, this dominance of the Church didn’t last long once it was discovered that the universe did not run as geocentric, but heliocentric. People questioned and challenged the Church which brought the Church to slowly lose its power. These new discoveries made the people at the time think broader and with their own pleasures of life. Humanists also played a great roll to the opening of the minds in Europe. They had influenced the artists and architects to carry on the classical traditions of the past. Humanists also illustrated to the people the importance of classical education, such as: history, literature, and philosophy. By these, many started to educate themselves- including the women. Most who were fully educated in every area of study were called the Renaissance Man and Woman. Even though the men had more privileges than the women, they were both influenced by the humanists who helped them open the mind in Europe.


 * Why Europe Gains Dominance? (8/31/11-CW)**

I believe that Europe gained dominance due to its previous historical events which changed the minds of the citizens. Lots of systems and progress were made at the period and its studies are still in studied today. They had contributed to science, math, art, etc. For example, it was proved in Europe that the Earth was not geocentric, but heliocentric. This original information are still taught to students and scholars all over the world in the textbook. What's so significant about it? Scientists back in the Middle Ages proved the church wrong by stating this point that Earth was not always in the center. This new discovery of the 'heliocentric' had challenged the church which had the most power and dominate at the time.


 * Q&A p.37-39 (8/28/11)**

1. How did the cities of Italy help create the Renaissance? The cities of Italy help create Renaissance, because the cities were developing rapidly, there were wealthy classes (merchants), and there were many objects from the period of Greece and Rome at the place. All in all, it was well developed, wealthy, and had a history. 2. What is your opinion of the Medici family? I believe that Medici family was taking an advantage of being wealthy. This proves that at the time during the Renaissance, wealth was a big deal and was a big impact in the city-state of Florence. Medici family yearned for power and in order to achieve this, they dealt with money. 3. How did Humanism influence Renaissance ideas? Humanism had lead the people understand the ideas and texts instead of just agreeing to it. It especially influenced the artists and architects to support the classical traditions. Some common subjects which the humanists studied are: history, literature, and philosophy. 4. Why did church leaders and wealthy merchants support the arts? During the Renaissance, both church leaders and wealthy merchants were patrons of the arts. They both spent lots of money to show the beauty of Rome and other cities. However the wealthy merchants mainly supported the art to resemble their own importance by having their portraits painted or by the donation of art. 5. What were the similarities and differences between upper-class Renaissance men and women? Both upper-class Renaissance men and women had to know the classics and be charming. However, the women had less rights than the men did at the time. They were rarely to create art or to seek for fame by art. Yet, the men were required to create art, master most areas of study, influence politics, etc. 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! As shown in the Analyzing Primary Sources, Isabella d’Este wrote “...we have begun to hope that our cherished desire to obtain a work by your hand might be at length realized” (d’Este). Not only on this line, but she continuously uses the words ‘we, us, our’. This shows that Isabella d’Este was voicing a number of people’s thoughts including hers to Leonardo da Vinci. I believe that this source of Isabella d’Este’s letter emphasizes the group. However, I thought differently while reading Baldassare Castiglione’s writing. He expresses “I would have him more than passably accomplished in letters, at least in those studies that are called the humanities...” (Castiglione). Reading this made me realize that it seems like he’s simply stating his own opinions of a person who was called the Renaissance man. To this, I believe that Castiglione’s source emphasizes an individual.
