Real World History: A Brief Analysis

1. Based on your reading of the two primary source documents for this module, in what ways do you feel these documents are historically significant? In what ways do documents such as these help historians to understand history? In the end, what were the main reasons for dropping these two weapons on Japan?

In the beginning of the Paleolithic Era, bands of humans progressively migrated from East Africa to Eurasia, Australia, and then to the Americas while adapting to their new regions. During the Paleolithic era, hominids used crude tools like clubs and choppers to crack open bones, simple axes, and scrapers to prepare animal hides. As the years went on the Neanderthal, Cro-Magnon, and Homo sapiens amended these tools and created new ones. They made these tools so that they can provide shelter, protection, defense from other predators, food, and also clothing. As the Paleolithic era was ending, the hominids were building much more innovative wood and stone structures. They also started

Chapter three is about early Africa and Egypt. Africa is divided into five sections by climatic and vegetative differences. The five sections were: Mediterranean, Sahel, Deserts, rainforest and savannah. Depending on the climate section in which they lived, the range of people in Africa urbanized special ways of being. The chapter also talked about the people that lived during this time. The first group was called the Khoisan. Initially they populated the eastern part of Africa. The next groups were called the Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic. At first regions by the Nile River valley were occupied. The final group was called Niger-Congo. They occupied the forests of western Saharan Africa over the wet phase.

Geography played a big role in determining the political units and economic institutions of Mediterranean society. The mountains interspersed throughout the Greek peninsula led to regionalism in the form of city-states. This was a departure from the centralized government of China. The fact that civilization developed along a peninsula also shaped Mediterranean culture. The ocean provided some protection from invaders and allowed for the advancement of trade.

At this point in history, worldly events are whizzing by at an accelerated pace and the 18th century reveals some tumultuous moments that shaped world history in the Americas. At this point South American was settled by Europeans who were still fighting over boundaries and they shared a craving for power, hence the turbulent conditions fostered by Europeans lead to instabilities in South America. Spain and Portugal claimed large South American land masses, while other nations like France and England made attempts to infiltrate sections for themselves which caused further unrest. European quarrels also seeped and influenced the political atmosphere of South America, for example the French revolution interfered with the governing plans of Spain.

1. Consider how Baldric presents Pope Urban's reasons for calling for this holy war. If order of presentation and emphasis mean anything, what was, according to our chronicler, the pope's chief motive?

D. it symbolized the fusion of Roman, German, and Christian elements which would make up medieval civilization in Europe.

History repeats itself but there are moments that shaped American History. Many events occurred over the years that have created the views and principles for American citizens. Looking back here a few instances of things that have made a lasting impact on our culture and lifestyle of today. This is a peek in on the beginning of some of the things we take for granted every day.

There is something that can be distinguished between events such as wars that happen and chances for the Empire to take a new direction. Then there is structural change where per Ward-Perkins “individuals and concatenations of events, all of which might have gone differently, are seen as central to human history” (Heather, Peter, and Bryan Ward-Perkins). This is what Ward-Perkins has theorized as “modern thinking” where we are taught to remember names and

Change and continuity are two major principles of life. They can easily be applied to history because their application accurately portrays the circumstances, and characterizes the era of interest. Merriam-Webster defines continuity as an uninterrupted connection, succession, or union, or an uninterrupted duration or continuation especially without essential change. Change is defined as to make different in some particular, to alter, to make radically different, to transform, or to give a different position, course, or direction to.

There are moments in history that can almost mirror later events. Patterns can be found in the types of people that obtain power, how they obtain power, and what the circumstances of the state surrounding their rises to power are. There are also events that can seem entirely different from each other, and yet when looked at closely show real resemblance in specific ways that power shifts throughout history. Catiline is an example of failure to secure power. He raised an army of revolutionists who were found out before they could carry out their plan to murder hundreds of senators. Fidel Castro, who did achieve power later in his political career, created a plan to attack that Moncada Barracks which failed, in the end. Catiline’s Conspiracy

Change always starts with a simple action, Albert Einstein once said, “The world as we have created it is a process of our thinking. It cannot be changed without changing our thinking.” This world is full of different kinds of changes, from personal change to changing the world in different ways. During different times in history, society has been evolving into what it is now. Like Albert Einstein pointed out, the world is created by the thoughts of people and to be able to create a change in the world, there has to be an event that leads human minds to think differently. This research paper will focus on the War of Independence, the War of 1812, the American Civil War, World War I and II, the Cold War to present day. In this case, the writer

The True Story of the Whole World is mainly about finding your place in the biblical drama that is presented in the book. It's about all the drama throughout the bible from the beginnin until the end. It's also about how to understand the scriptures that are writte throughout the bible.

In reading a Little History of the World by E.H. Gombrich you realize that history seems so much less complicated when you are the one standing back and reflecting on the past. You realize how easy it is to often forget that every single new idea, religion and war was a struggle that lasted generations upon generations. History is more than just a page or a story, its our account of the world. That goes to show how short life and history is, you realize that history is always repeating, war after war, peace then war. There are good and bad periods in history and its up to us to learn from them. In a way history is much like a human being it goes through stages, learns about life, and has inner struggles or wars about their ideas and their beliefs.

As for the study done on the Embeddedness Theory, the participants were from a large, public, university in the Southeastern United States. Researchers asked professors of upper level STEM courses for recommendations of students to use for this study. They recommended 158 students, and of those the researchers used stratified purposeful sampling to get an even number of male and female respondents. Once this was done the respondents were broken up into four groups that had 21 juniors and seniors, each separated into male and female. The methods used for this study were qualitative.
