Chapter 12

 "Modern” human society emerged first in Europe in the nineteenth century and then throughout the world. accompanied by massive population increase,  societies favored holders of urban wealth over rural landowning elite states became more powerful and intrusive opening up of public and political life to more of the population self-conscious departure from tradition the modernity revolution was as important as the Agricultural Revolution. I enjoy the human society and leaning about the 15 century because that is when we really started to develop our human  skills 

Turkic warrior Timur (Tamerlane) tried to restore the Mongol Empire ca. 1400 his army devastated Russia, Persia, and India. Timur died in 1405, while preparing invasion of China. his successors kept control of the area between Persia and Afghanistan for a century Timur’s conquest was the last great military success of Central Asian nomads.   He interest me because he died while trying to invade  another empire  almost like karma cause he was  trying to invade another place .

chapter 11 documents

In the chapter 11 documents they were talking about all the Mongol history  and many of the views from different areas.  The Chinese viewed the Mongol ad foreign conquerors  and illegitimate as Chinese rulers. they claimed that the Mongols treated the Chinese as slaves which I can understand because the Mongols were very dominate and mean.  why did the mogol's feel the need to kind of bully ? I feel like the mogols were bully's in a type of way because of how it they treated people. I understand that they were just more abrupt than other people and groups but I think they didn't need to steal and be so dominant and have to "rule" over everyone.

chapter 11

The Mongol empire  . This empire made the most stunning entry in the 13 century Mongols made the largest land based empires in all of human history . this is cool to me I would like to visit this empire to see really how large it is . I wonder how long it takes for people to build such a large empire ?  I found it weird that they did not have no new language , religion , or civilization . their religion center around rituals invoking the ancestors . this is very interesting in a way it is their own religion because they didn't follow like the rest of the empires and start their own stuff.

chapter 9 docs

reading the chapter 9 docs I found that the inscription in rumi's tomb very cool they were like mini prayers in a sort. I wish it would of explained more about the poems though . like where did they come from ? I really enjoy the first one saying always come even if you broken your vow it reminds me of second chances and peoples past meaning no matter your past you are always welcomed I really enjoy it .

chapter 9

The Quran was very interesting to me .The Quran literally meaning "the recitation,"  is the central religious texts of Islam, which Muslims believe to be a revelation from God It is widely regarded as the finest piece of literature of the Arabic language Muslims consider the Quran to be the only book that has been protected by God from distortion or corruption.However, major textual variations and deficiencies in scripts mean the relationship between the text of today's Quran and an original text is unclear.
it gave protection to women which I found great .
Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, the proof of his prophet hood and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad  The Quran assumes familiarity with major narratives recounted in the Jewish and Christian scriptures . It summarizes some, dwells at length on others and, in some cases, presents alternative accounts and interpretations of events The Quran describes itself as a book of guidance. It sometimes offers detailed accounts of specific historical events, and it often emphasizes the moral significance of an event over its narrative sequence.The Quran is used along with the Hadith to interpret sharia law  During prayers, the Quran is recited only in Arabic
.

chapter 10

until chapter 10 I was not to sure on Christianity  but I now know that Christianity is one of the world’s major monotheistic religions. Christians believe in Jesus Christ and follow his teachings. they  believe Jesus is God’s own son, sent by God to become human. As the son of God, Jesus is divine, but he was also a human being who lived among us on earth, over 2,000 years ago. Followers of Jesus are part of God’s people, whose heritage includes the Jewish people and the Christian Church throughout the world today.
 As a person, Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew who lived and died in biblical Israel under Roman rule in a province the Romans called Palestine. He spent his adult life in ministry with his disciples, traveling around the region, teaching about God and spreading a message of God’s love, peace, hope and forgiveness. He healed the sick and fed the hungry. He gathered many followers who were passionate about his teachings. As his following grew, some of the religious leaders became more and more distrustful and angry with him, until he was eventually turned over to the Roman government by Judas, one of his own disciples. The Roman governor Pontius Pilate then sentenced him to execution. He died by being nailed to a cross in the outskirts of the city of Jerusalem.
But death did not contain him. On the third day after his crucifixion, the day Christians call Easter, Jesus appeared among his followers as the risen, living Lord. He continued to teach, spreading the Good News, sharing the story of his life and resurrection to people here on earth for forty days before returning to heaven. His story and teachings are depicted in the New Testament of the bible .

 reading more into jesus and Christianity was very interesting to me .

chapter 8

Reading chapter 8 women equality came up again which I have strong opinion on already , I am so glad I am a women of this era now than back then . the women were basically slaves to the men, it say "the boy leads the girl, the girl follows the boy, the duty of husbands to be resolute and wives to be docile begins with us " I hate the fact that women are so underestimated although it said they were treated a little better than before it still was bad .  Confucian writers highlighted the subordination of women to men and the need to keep males and females separate in every domain of life . I think that statement is stupid because by keep women away if they basically want women to be slaves to the men it just doesn't make sense to me.  the views on women's qualities were weakness , reticence and delicacy . I think the views were like that because the women were not given a chance too prove to everyone that they could be more than just house wife's .
