Chapter 23

The thing that stands out most to me in this chapter is the world's economy. This is super ironic considering the worlds economy is in a bad place right now. Small businesses are losing everything they have worked for in a matter of months. Without capitalism small businesses wouldn't even have a chance to exist, and now that our rights have been taken away and we have lost the freedom of choice, small businesses have lost all decision making and are being left to fend for themselves. Today's economy reflects that of an economy which is recovering from a massive war. Similar to the great depression, except we are dealing with a pandemic, not a war. Just how international trade dropped during the great depression, the same thing is happening today because of the genius in office who also cut the resources needed to battle this pandemic. 

In my opinion, we need to do what we have to do to survive during this time. Living in a capitalist country vs a communist country is huge during this time. The poor citizens of Hong Kong are being brutally beaten for protesting, so one can only wonder how ends are meeting for families in Hong Kong. Here in America we at least have the freedom to try and pivot our lives to still make ends meet during this pandemic. An interesting phrase was used when describing the industrialization of the earth, the mills used to industrialize were called satanic. Very interesting choice of words when considering righteous vs evil in today's world. Could it be this was the beginning of a true satanic takeover? Our environment has been destroyed by fossil fuels. Nikola Tesla's goal in life was to provide free electricity for the world which could have seriously harmed the fossil fuel business. When you dig deep into families that run the old school energy sector, you may learn the Rockefellers and Rothschilds might not be the "humanitarians" they claim to be.

Debate Challenge. Open to anyone!

Here’s the statement : “The first half of the 2 nd millennium AD marked a period of rebirth in China that was just as significant as the Renaissance in Europe.” You may argue FOR or AGAINST. (For this debate, assume the first half of the 2 nd millennium AD refers to approximately 1000-1500 AD.) My point: I would argue FOR this point. My most important fact to back this up in support of the statement, is China's innovation. The Silk Road's changed the worlds economy forever. The different resources among the different climates and regions of the Silk Road created the need for humanity to rely on each other. This goes such a long way in the history of humanity, I would indeed argue, this time period in China was as significant as the Renaissance in Europe.

Ch. 16-18 Questions 1-9

1. The Great Dying was a global phenomenon which took place starting when Native Americans came in contact with Europeans, who brought European and African diseases to these Native Americans. For example, before the Spanish conquest Mexico had about 15 million citizens in the population, which was drastically narrowed down to about 1 million by 1650. In what is now modern day New York, the Dutch and British had wiped out all but one tenth of the Native Americans in that region (Strayer p. 557-560). The question of whether this could be a genocide is a hard one for me to answer. I would go with yes it was a form of genocide, because the Europeans had known about diseases from Africa and Asia before migrating to the Americas. Now was there vaccines or precautions even available back then? As crazy as it seems, I do think the genocide brought by the Europeans may have not been malicious with intent, but I do think they should have been smarter than to assume Native Americans would immune ...

Final Presentation

https://www.instagram.com/tv/ CCrxlPGAH7H/?igshid= on4s95qygtat To the citizens of the United States, As I write this letter, our country is in shambles. This is not entirely due to the pandemic of COVID-19. Police brutality and injustices are being caught on camera more than ever and the people of this country have had enough. We are, unfortunately, dividing ourselves with the aid of powers much higher than the average civilian. The division of race and equality has been a major issue. The division of the people versus the police officers has been worsening for the last few decades. We are now at a boiling point and it is more than understandable at this point. My reason for writing this letter is simply to inform the citizens of a few key historical stories which enabled the racial and social inequality that still is in America to this very day. We will learn that the Americas’ were victims of greed and power hungry elites. As early as 2000 BC, we have evidence of class and gender hi...
