Chapter 15

Hi,
Here are some notes that I thought were the most essential when summarizing chapter 15.

-Spreading of Christianity to Asians, Muslims, and Native Americans
-Cultural transformations that were taking place due to the globalization of the world.
-The world was evolving as a melting pot of different cultures and beliefs.
-The Christians divided by the Roman Catholics of the Western and Central Europe and the Orthodox of Eastern Europe and Russia. 
-Christians were facing competition from the expansion of Islam. 
-The Protestant Reformation split the Roman Catholic Church
-Protestant women were considered less than men in the Church. 
-Rivalry between Protestant and Catholic's caused conflict throughout Europe.
-Conversion of Spanish America to Christianity was accepted and embraced by many. 
-Mass conversion to Christianity in China like there was in Spanish America.
-In China, Ming and Qing dynasties, operated under a Confusion framework which was supplemented with ideas from Buddhism and Daoism and that created a system called Neo-Confucianism. 
-Kaozheng, was a movement in China, which meant "research based on evidence" and emphasized the importance of verification and precision. 
-The argument that the sun was the center, and the Earth and other planets revolved around it was the first major breakthrough in the Scientific Revolution.
-Sir Isaac Newton formulated the modern laws of motion and mechanics, which created a new scientific view of the universe for the Europeans. 
-In the eighteenth century, people believed that the outcome of the scientific revolution was the enlightenment, the belief that humans would discover the way that mankind can govern itself more effectively. 
-The idea of progress was the belief of enlightenment.
-The Scientific Revolution and its ideas ultimately began to spread globally.
-European science impacted Asians and started to selectively assimilate some ideas as their own by switching a couple of things to them.

Thanks

Module 2: Chapter 18

3. What contributed to changing European views of Asians and Africans in the 19 th century? The Industrial Revolution led Europeans to develop a secular arrogance that fused with or in some cases replaced their long-standing notions of religious superiority. They would take or adopt many ideas from other advanced societies and make them theirs. Europeans viewed the culture and achievements of Asian and African people through the prism of a new kind of racism. Europeans used scientific methods to classify humans, concluding that whites were more advanced or superior which created a hierarchy of race with whites on top and others beneath them. Europeans believed that they were superior to others, which led to the idea that Europeans dominated the other races that were considered weak, as fate. The Europeans believed that it was their duty to bring Christianity, to govern the lands, educate those who needed, provide health care, and many more.   11. How did cash-crop agricu...

Module 4: Chapter 20

Fascism in Chapter 20 was a political ideology all across Europe between 1919 and 1945. Fascism was intensely nationalistic and sought to revitalize and purify the nation to mobilize its people for some grand task. The spokesman would praise violence against enemies and would celebrate action instead of reflection. It condemned individualism, liberalism, feminism, communism, and Parliamentary democracy which all weakened the nation. People lost faith in the capacity of liberal democracy and capitalism in order for a good society and protection of their interest which proved a receptive audience for fascism. In Spain, the rise of fascism movements led to a bitter civil war. In Italy and Germany, movements achieved prolonged power causing devastating consequences for Europe and the rest of the world. Mussolini thought fascism was anticommunist and the opposite of Marxian socialism and antidemocratic saying that it combats the system of democratic ideology. On the internet, there wasn...
