Hi,

During the early years of the lives of Francoise Blin de Bourdon and Julie Billiart, there only was the possibility of being a nun or a stay at home mother, for women. Both had a passion for helping people, they became a nun. Sister of Notre Dame was the primitive spirit of both. They valued respect for all people regardless of age, gender, or social class. 
Francoise Blin de Bourdon was born into an aristocratic family but did not let the luxuries and take her from focusing on those of the less social status. She didn't like to see the differences between how the lower class and how the aristocrats lived. Francoise cared for others and went by the principle of, "respect for all individuals regardless of age, gender, disability, or social class". 
Julie Billart was born into the Third Estate and started to help the poor or the ones in need when she was very young. Julie had a passion for educating the poor, even when Julie was going through her own problems, she sill taught them everything she knew. She didn't like the fact that some people had so many more opportunities to learn and grow than others because of their social status. 
Julie and Francoise were both able to help and change communities in the ways they could. Together they established a new order of Nuns called the Sisters of Notre Dame. Over 216 years later, the principles they established are still influencing many people today. They have taught me that whether one had money or not, you are still able to help people out in the world.

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...
