Cultural Transformations:

Two intersecting cultural trends continue into play throughout the 21st. The first one is the spread of Christianity to the Asians, Africans, and Native Americans. The spread of a scientific outlook challenged the Western Christainity. While the practices of a religion were being spread, the understanding of of the universe and the new knowledge that these people were attaining another "cultural."

The Protestant Reformation:

In the early 16th century, the protestant reformation completely ruined the unity of the Roman Catholic Church The Reformation started in 1517 but a man named Martin
Luther. He was a german professor of theology, composer, priest, monk, and a very important figure during this reformation. He was important because during the time of the reformation, he was a priest. He challenged the Roman Catholic Church with the , Ninety-Five Theses. Ninety-five Theses, propositions for debate concerned with the question of indulgences. This was considered the beginning of the Protestant Reformation. 

Christianity Outward Bound: 

When Europeans came to the Americas, they hoped that people would "become christians." Colombus even tried to bribe these people by telling them that they would give them "a harvest of gold, spice, cotton, aloe, wood, and slaves." (pg 652) Noone from either side had seen a problem with this so then they let the Europeans into the Americas. With the acceptance of the europeans, more and more people started to come over to the Americas and then started to colonize. The greatest success was in Spanish America.

History Presentation

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
