As early as the 1500s, Asia was making a start towards religion. Many Missionaries, like the Jesuits, introduced various parts of Asia to the Christian faith. Towards the end of 1500, Jesuits were teaching in sixteen villages throughout India. These missionaries coming to serve mostly had good effects to the country and a few bad effects too. The positive effects of the spread were that the citizen’s faith grew, along with their community. In Japan, priests were getting persecuted and the people could not worship freely. But, as Xavier started preaching, people converted from Buddhism and Shintoism to Catholicism publicly. In the Philippines, citizens would go to church because it was the only shelter they had from the oppressors. Soon later,
In the 1700s, the Spanish wanted to expand their culture and religion because they wanted their wealth and power to grow. They also wanted to settle where no other Europeans would settle. To keep out the Europeans, they stationed strong military services by these missionaries. From Spain, the Fathers were sent to Northern America, settling in California, to spread Christian practices.
Buddhism caused many positive responses throughout China, especially during times of political instability. Buddhism increased in popularity as the enforcement of laws in China decreased
Religion played a big role in shaping the values, attitudes, and conduct of the Spanish during the Age of Discovery and Conquest (1492-1579). The colonial church provided control and a standard of conduct and living for the new world. In fact, the colonial church had even more power in Spanish America then it did in Spain. Why this is important though, is because it limited the possibility of rebellion and opposition. As long as the church was in place, there was Spanish order, and as long as there was Spanish order, the colonization process could continue to run smoothly and prosper.
In The Memory Palace of Matteo Ricci it details the effects that European contact had on the political, economic, social, and religious aspects of Asia. The Jesuit priest, Matteo Ricci set out from Italy and went to Asia to encourage Christianity in the late fifteenth century. The biggest impact Ricci had on Asia would be the religious aspects that were influenced because of the mixing between Confusion ideas and Christianity. European influences also impacted the area of the New France colonies. This is area is now known to us as Canada. The Jesuits had come into contact with the New France colonies in the early sixteenth century. The Jesuits at this time were led by the same idea as Matteo Ricci; to spread the western thought and also try to convert the colonies to Christianity.
The result of these changes was one of the world’s key periods. Beliefs shifted and cultural commitments took new territorial patterns. Buddhism, spreading through India at various points in the classical period, could embrace a whole subcontinent. Christianity showed ability to win a growing minority in the Roman Empire and at a few points beyond its borders, in the Middle East and North Africa.
In the period 1450 through 1800, the ottoman in Spanish Empire is both applied politics, social aspects, and economics in the process of creating their empires. Despite being two different empires, they share many similarities as well as many differences.
European invasion in different subcontinent was mainly for trade and oceanic expansion. The same reasons European came to America as well. European first sent the priests to help local people
In many Latin American countries, the original native inhabitants were invaded by Europeans looking for land to discover and conquer and riches to be brought back with them. In many cases, Spanish Conquistadors came in conquered native peoples, via superior weapons, or illnesses, and then proceeded to enforce their ways on life on them. Christianity in Latin America, much like Africa, would take root and spread throughout various countries. Although originally brought by force, Christianity in these two countries has flourished over the years, and in a way, has taken on an identity of its own apart from its past. As for Asia, Christianity was spread there earlier. As mentioned earlier, disciples and apostles of Jesus did arrive to some Asian countries and successfully established churches and converted some. However, as time went one, other religions in Asian countries such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and others took precedence. In many cases, Christianity was illegal. This came about mainly during the time of Communism in China and other places, but even in countries like Japan Christianity was forbidden by the emperor. While Christianity has had a turbulent time in Asia, and still does to this day, there are several missionaries reaching out to Asian countries, specifically China. While Christianity is illegal there and it is hard to tell just how many Chinese are Christian, there has been an increase in the efforts to spread Christianity throughout
Japan has been a home for Shinto and Buddhist religions for centuries. The Christian missionaries during the 16th, 19th and 20th centuries worked hard to evangelize the Japanese nation but could not get desired success. There efforts in past failed partly due to sanctions imposed by the local rulers. The Jesuits missionaries traveled with Spanish and Portuguese traders to many areas of America and Asia-Pacific and established their churches and religious missions. They were funded, sponsored and trained by their respective governments in order to spread Christianity. At several places they preached the Christian faith by force but the aboriginal population did not accept it wholeheartedly. Initially the Jesuits
The first Indian ruler to become a Buddhist was Ashoka. “Ashoka's patronage, however, was especially important in the history of Buddhism, for he not only sustained the faith at an important point in its development but spread it far beyond his own borders.” Ashoka had commands engraved on pillars, which was a big impact on the spread of Buddhism in communities. “Central Asia became a major center of Buddhism by the first century C.E., and from there the faith spread along the Silk Road and into China and Korea.” Because of Ashoka, religions were passed quickly through the Silk Roads. Gregory, the Wonderworker converted people into Christianity. Christian communities thrived in Mediterranean basin by late third century C.E. Christians also attracted people from southwest Asia and in the Roman Empire. Individuals started isolated themselves and lived like hermits, devoting their time to praise God.
Besides the experience of travel itself, identify one theme or pattern that seems to be repeated throughout the test. Examples (political\ systems, economic development, religion).

When I was in 6th grade I tried out for O.V.A. (volleyball) for the first time. From doing it I learned that when you put your heart into something you will accomplish it.
Missionaries frequently rushed to Africa and Asia to convert its people to Christianity. On the other hand, social Darwinism argued the survival of
You would expect to see a species growing at an exponential rate when a population has a constant birth rate through a period of time and it is never limited by food, disease, or space. WIth an exponential growth the rate of birth of a species alone can control how fast, and in some cases how slow, the population grows. A population will increase its rate and reach its maximum potential if it is filled with limitless amounts of resources. The numbers would start of slowly then pick up as quickly as the new individuals are added to the reproductive pool. Once they enter the pool the rate of growth will continue to increase over time.
The American Health Information Management Association defines Health Information Management as “the practice of acquiring, analyzing, and protecting digital and traditional medical information vital to providing quality patient care” (ahima.org, What is Health Information?). This field is directly involved with information governance and managing the life cycle of all information. HIM is concerned with information governance because of the importance of balancing the availability of information with the security of that information. This delicate balance is paramount to the protection of everyone from the patient to the facility that is managing the information. The need to worry about information governance has recently become even more important with the transition to the Electronic Health Record.
