 * This is the debate I did on May/21/12**

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTGaBnCSGQI&feature=youtu.be


 * Homework due at May/21/12**

A

1. Describe in your own words what happened to this house.
 * The house was bombed by the atomic bomb. The house was shattered into pieces and the there was a devastation. After looking at this picture I can see that the atomic bomb is very destructive and horrifying.**

2. Use your imagination to describe what would happen if a whole town was hit by an explosion like this.


 * To imagine this happening to my town would be scary and sad. The atomic bomb would kill many lives and the town would lose its form. Many people will suffer from disease and illness and the explosion will affect the whole country.**

B)

1.Why do you think these people wanted the government to ‘ban the bomb’? 2.The picture shows that men and women, young and old, wanted to ‘ban the bomb’. Why do you think these was such a wide range of people in CND? In //The Cold War// purple book, skim pp1-11 (most of this should be review, so just focus on "filling in the gaps" from your textbook reading and the class lecture, and on your gallery page, list 5 underlying causes of the Cold War.
 * I think the people wanted the government to band the bomb because the destruction of the atomic bomb was great. The bombing of Nagasaki and Hiroshima showed how strong and horrifying the atomic bomb is and to have a bomb it was threatening many human lives.**
 * The nuclear bomb can destroy a whole and kill thousands of lives in a second. The nuclear bomb will destroy human nature and threaten human lives. It is very reasonable that the atomic bomb should be banned**

C)

1.Look back to chapter 7 0n pages 16-17. What arguments were there against banning nuclear weapons?
 * 1.The History of Mistrust**
 * 1.The History of Mistrust**

2.Fears of Russian Expansion -U.S feared Soviet Union expansion because Soviet Union encouraged communism in other countries as part of a worldwide workers’ revolution -Soviet Union also wanted to control Eastern Europe to protect Soviet borders and balance the U.S influence in Western Europe


 * 3. Friction between the Allies**

4. The Atomic Bomb

-Soviets exploded their own H bomb in 1953 -U.S. wanted to build more bombs in case they were attacked by the Soviet Union -The 2 countries were in a arms race and were at brinkmanship

5. Marshall Plan

-a U.S. program which provided food, machinery, and other materials to rebuild Europe -U.S. gave more aid to Western Europe -this made Western Europe recover faster than Eastern Europe

Look at each of the following and decide which was the most significant historical event. Explain your decision in a paragraph on your gallery page. I think that the Fall of the Berlin wall is the most significant event. The Berlin wall was used to separate East Germany and West Germany. The fall of the Berlin wall united the two countries when the people from East Germany started to flee.

JASON, AT THIS THIS STAGE IN THE YEAR, IS IT TOO MUCH TO EXPECT YOU TO BE ORGANIZING YOUR WORK LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT, WITH DATES AND TITLES FOR EACH ASSIGNMENT, AS INSTRUCTED? I HAVE ALSO ASKED YOU REPEATEDLY TO 1) DO YOUR WORK DIRECTLY ON THE WIKI, RATHER THAN AS A PAGES FILE (WHICH TAKES ME LONGER TO OPEN AND GRADE), AND 2) TO NAME FILES WITH YOUR NAME, EG. JASON'S HW DUE ON 5/17 (BY THE WAY COLONS ARE NOT EVER USED IN DATES). YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS, AND WHEN YOU SEND ME AN EMAIL, ON THE WEEKEND, ASKING A QUESTION THAT WAS ASKED, AND ANSWERED, IN CLASS, JUST TELLS ME THAT YOU HAVE VERY LITTLE RESPECT FOR ME AS YOUR TEACHER. 7/10

TWINS After watching the video Twins I was very angry. The Germans were using the twins and constructed experiments for them. The twins were treated like animals in the laboratory. They were not treated as humans they were treated like animals. I learned that the Germans were very painful and cruel.

BROTHERS After watching the video Brothers I was very sad and depressed. Seeing kids and getting taken away from their parent and getting beat almost everyday was preposterous. The kids were innocent and they had nothing to do with war but the Nazis did not care and did unbelievable actions that they should of never done. These actions made children and parents suffer, I can not believe that Germans did such actions during this time.

MORDECAI ELDAR The video Mordecai Elear made me feel very unfair. The concentration camps didn’t look alive in Germany. The escorts beat up people in the camp for no particular reason and the people were treated like animals. The Nazis were acting inhumane and I was very surprised to hear that Mordecai Eldar joined the army and made the German army stronger.

ZANN FARBSTEIN After I watched this video I was filled with rage. It was very surprising to find out that Germans were actually beating little children. These children were burned and put in pits. How is it possible that Germans do these actions to children who are so innocent. Some photos that were shown in the video were also very hard to watch.

YAAKOV HOLLANDER After I watched this video I was filled with few questions. How could the Nazis treat these people like animals? Why did Germans punish slaves that were working so hard? The actions Germans did were very astonishing. I am very angry that the Germans were acting this way towards slaves.

SOPHIE ENGELSMAN After watching the video I was very sad to see families getting separated and only parts of their family getting killed. This was a torture for many families and it was very understandable why some slaves decide to commit suicide.

BROWN After watching this video I was very angry to see that people were treated as things not actual people. the people in the concentration camp were coded with numbers on their chess and lost all their identities. Treating the Jews like prisoners was absolutely unreasonable and the Jews deserved to be treated better.

 * 8.Battle of Leyte Gulf**

The Battle of Leyte Gulf happened from 23-26 of Oct 1944 between U.S and the Australian navy and the Japanese navy army. This battle was considered to be one of the largest naval battles in history.


 * 9.Battle of Okinawa**

The Battle of Okinawa lasted for about 82 days, from April of 1945 to mid June of 1945. This battle was when U.S tried to invade the island of Okinawa and build a air base in it. This battle lasted for so long but ended up as the Allies winning.


 * 10.Bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki**

The bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki happened in 1945 when U.S dropped two gruesome atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Germany and U.S both started to build the atomic bomb but U.S finished first.


 * Bernard Montgomery**: Bernard Montgomery was the general of Great Britain. He was involved in the Battle of El Alamein and he was very successful and was able to win victory in the Battle of El Alamein. In the D-Day, general Montgomery led the allies and beat Germany and became the turning point for the Allies.


 * Dwight Eisenhower**: Dwight Eisenhower was a general in the U.S. He successfully led the Operation Torch and defeated Germany. He also played a great role in the D Day and later became the president of U.S.

The nation which suffered the greatest human cost was the USSR.
 * Costs of World War II: Allies and Axis**
 * 1. Which of the nations listed in the chart suffered the greatest human costs?**

Germany and Japan did not spent much time and money as much as U.S did. If Germany or Japan spent more money on war but not other things they could of had a chance to win.
 * 2. How does the U.S. spending on the war compare with the spending of Germany and Japan?**

1.What factors may have contributed to the increased number of deaths in World War II over World War I? Some factors that contributed to the increased number of deaths in World War II over World War I was mainly technology. Comparing to the technology during World War 1, during the Second World War more bombs, more guns, and airplanes were used to kill people. The main weapon which killed the most people was the atomic bomb. The atomic bomb killed millions of people and caused Japan to suffer for years.
 * Military Casualties, World War I and World War II**

The polish refugees flee from the Germans due to the poor living conditions and the harsh system. The polish refugees were sleeping without beds and were not getting fed properly. Many of them were taken away from their family and could not have a normal life.
 * Civilian Cost - DBQs**
 * 1.Under what conditions did the Polish refugees flee from the Germans?**

The picture shows that Americans treated the Japanese people in a harsh way. After the Japanese people bombed the Pearl Harbor, U.S. sent innocent Japanese people in U.S, who are considered American, to internment camps.
 * 2.Judging from the photograph, what was the government’s attitude toward Japanese Americans?**

Jason, remember how I said to name your files something unique, with your name in the title, so that you weren't over-writing other people's files??? I also asked you, whenever possible, to post work directly on the gallery page, instead of as a pages document that I have to open separately, as this takes additional time.

This is a line from your notes: "The propaganda campaigns were used to increase the public to try more." Does this make sense to you? It doesn't to me. 9.5/10

**His ideas**

All of this ideas were found in the book //Mein Kampf//

-The Fuehrer principle stated that Germany must be ruled by a single leader -The Lebensraum stated that Germans needed more land to live and work in -Race stated that human being were divided into races -Anti-semitism stated that Jews, or Semites as Hitler called them, are the biggest threat to the purity of the Germans -The treaty of Versailles was the peace treaty which Germany signed in 1919 which was unfair

**His appeal**

-Hitler had great speeches that could hypnotize audiences when he made speeches -When Germany had a little hope of being successful they needed a ruler like Hitler that could lead them

Slight misunderstanding about the difference between "creating unity" and "creating a (trade) union"! I like that you have considered how Fascism might be different in Korea than in Europe. 9.5/10

The Great Depression did not begin in the U.S. -- Europe had been suffering since the end of WWI. The situation in the US just made it worse. 9/10

Station 2 (Stations 1 is done on paper)

Notes? Good thing I'm not grading it, eh? Date and title your work please! Organize this page better. 9/10

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-OOvJ6JN3k&feature=g-upl&context=G228cf16AUAAAAAAAAAA A few misunderstandings about communism. For example, the strength of the military doesn't really have much to do with the fact that a country is communist or not. Same with industrialisation. 8/10

Station 1China faced major struggles and internal wars due to the deciding of major power. During the World War 1, China helped the Allies by declaring war to Germany. When the war finished China tried to gain freedom from the world through the Treaty of Versailles but the Allied powers changing the master from Germany to japan caused China not to gain freedom but become invaded by Japan. Japan, not only invaded China but invaded Korea and many parts of Asia. After reading the articles you can see that China faced many negative impacts from the Treaty of Versailles. Station 2 Station 3 Looking at the video I watched, my opinion is that Mao was a better leader than Stalin. Mao did may bad thing for his country but he was the one who led the long march. Mao was also very smart in ruling the country. He was very strategic and helped the country improve in every way. Just like Mao, Stalin was clever but he did not have a good choice in how to rule the country and killed many people in Russia. Although Mao had evil thoughts for himself, his final goal, which was to make China a better country was successful and many people in China respected him as a leader.

[|The Dinner Party;Russian Revolution] This was quite clear and articulate. 9.5/10

What is the message that this poster is trying to get out to the Russian people? The propaganda shows a brave Bolshevik guard. This propaganda is trying to convince the Russian people that the Bolsheviks will protect Russia from Europeans.

2.Do you find this piece of propaganda to be compelling? Why or why not? I find this piece of propaganda compelling because the Bolshevik is shown as a brave and tough guard. The guard seems like he can defeat any country in Europe. Russian people will look at this propaganda and assume that the Bolsheviks will protect Russia from other European countries.

This assignment is not done with sufficient care.

4/6/12 The reasons for Russian revolution started the revolution in 1917 all started from the 1890s. When Nicholas II became the czar in Russia in 1894, he launched a program that allowed Russia to become the leading country for producing steel. However, the bad working conditions, low wages and child labor made workers angry. Then the revolutionary group decided to split the government into two groups. One group was called the Bolsheviks and was led by Lenin. When Lenin gained power again in 1917, Russia was in chaos. Russia lost a large amount of troops in WWI and was suffering from revolts from soldiers. When Lenin signed a peace treaty with Germany and gave away large amounts of Russian Land civil war started.
 * Why did Russia have a revolution in 1917?**

The Treaty of Versailles was held in France to make decisions and help countries. The Treaty of Versailles created the League of Nations and stated that there would be peace between the Allies and Germany.The Central Powers and Russia was not allowed to join the treaty. The allies agreed to not let Germany build a strong army and made them pay reparations. The league of Nations, which was formed by Woodrow Wilson with the help of the 14 points from Wilson was to benefit the world and help the world keep peace, but because America did not join, the league of nations did not benefit the world or keep peace.
 * 4/3/12**
 * 2. How did the Treaty of Versailles reflect the different personalities and agendas of the men in power at the end of World War I?**


 * Positive and Negative Results of Nationalism**


 * **Positive Result** || **Negative Result** ||
 * -People in the same nation overcoming their deferences for common good

-No more colonial rule

-More democratic government in the world

-Competition among nations spurring scientific and technological advantages || -Forced assimilation of minority cultures into nation’s majority culture

-Ethnic Cleansing

-Extreme nationalistic movements start

-Competition between nations leading to warfare ||


 * General Impact of Imperialism**

Do you think nationalism has had a more positive or negative impact on the world? Support your opinion with evidence.


 * I think nationalism had a positive impact on the world. Nationalism made the world more peaceful by uniting similar people into one country. For example, Italy use to be a country with different regions but when thy combined into one country they had peace.**


 * Types of Nationalist Movements**

//1.Using the table above, explain the characteristics of each type of Nationalistic movement in your own words.//
 * There are three types of nationalistic movements, which are Unification, Separation, and State-building. The characteristics of Unification is when two countries divided have culturally similar land. The characteristics of Separation is when a group that is culturally different try to resist being added to a state or tries to break away. At last the characteristics of the State-building is when culturally different groups form into a new state by accepting a single culture.**

//2.What do you think would have happened to the empires (e.g. Austrian Empire, Ottoman Empire) during the rise of nationalism?//
 * I think many empires were affected by nationalism. I think that many empires would have divided into two empires due to different cultures or have united into one group even though when they have different cultures.**


 * Key Skill: Analyzing Political Cartoons**
 * "Right Leg in the Boot at Last" (p.261)**

1.What symbol does the cartoonist use for the soon-be nation of Italy?
 * The cartoonists use the boot to symbolize the soon-be nation of Italy, being put on Count Camillo di Cavour, or Victor Emmanuel II, Sardinia's king.**

2.How is Garibaldi portrayed?
 * Garibaldi is portrayed as a lower class worker in this picture. He shows to be obedient to the king dropping his sword and cleaning the kings boots.**

3.What does the title of the cartoon say about the cartoonist’s view of Italian unification?
 * The title, “Right Leg in the Boot as Last, shows that Italy is controlled under Victor Emmanuel, as if the cartoonist was predicting that this would happen. Also you can see that the cartoonist is in favor of the Italian unification.**

On your own, read about the unification of Germany (online textbook pgs 261-263).
 * CASE STUDY: Germany**
 * 1) Create a flow chart that shows the key events that led the unification of Germany.



1.Looking at the map on page 263, answer the two geography skillbuilder questions.

a.What was unusual about the territory of Prussia as it existed in 1865?
 * The two land from Prussia is separated by a weird and thick line of land, which was rare at this time. Lands were usually connected and together during this time period.**

b.After 1865, what year saw the biggest expansion of Prussian territory?
 * After 1865, the biggest expansion for Prussia was in 1871.**

2.Design a national symbol for the newly formed Germany. Include symbols that best represent the spirit or values of the German people at this time. Write a short paragraph explaining your symbol and its significance.


 * I chose the cornflower because it is the national flower of Germany and it grows in many places in Germany. Germans will know this flower because it is common in Germany. Due to its commonness in Germany everyone will know what this flower is and everyone will recognize this flower. Also the Eagle which is the national animal will let everyone know that it is the national flag of Germany.**

Okay, but what do the flower and eagle MEAN to you? Why did you choose them to symbolize German nationalism? Cartoon analysis is a good start, but you can go further with the analysis.

Explain the importance of each of the following terms and names to India's independence from Great Britain? 1.**sepoys** Sepoys are Indian soldiers who were either Hindu or Muslim. They started the conflict between the Indians and the British because the British introduced the Enfield rifles. 2.**Sepoy** **Mutiny** Sepoy Mutiny is an event where the Indian soldiers rebelled against Britain rulers. This event was a turing point for British rule in India because it let the British government take direct rule of India from the East India Company. Due to this event the cultural, religious, and political divisions between the British and the Indians grew wider. MAY 9, 1857 3.**Congress** **Party** Congress Party is a political group that was created in the Indian National Congress in 1885. At first, the members were concerned about equal rights for Indians but as time went on the Congress Party became much more nationalistic. 4.**Mohandas K. Gandhi** Mohandas K. Gandhi is an Indian nationalist that believed in nonviolent protest, brotherhood for all Indians, and played a major role in securing Indian independence. He lived through 1869 to 1948 and he was educated as a lawyer in England. 5.**Muhammad Ali Jinnah** Muhammad Ali Jinnah is an Indian nationalist that disagreed with Gandhi's tactics and eventually demanded a separate country for Muslims. He was educated as a lawyer in England and became the first leader of independent Pakistan. (1876-1948)

Main Idea

1.What were four factors that contributed to Britain's conquest of India? 2.What was the cause of the Sepoy Mutiny and what was it main result? 3.Which groups and ideas promoted the Indian independence? 4.What were the four general principles of Gandhi's philosophy? 5.What role did Jinnah play in the partition of India?
 * The four factors that contributed to Britain's conquest of India was that the forces had better technology, there was chaos in Indian kingdoms, Britain was organized and had united goals, and had political stability.**
 * The cause of the Sepoy Mutiny was the Enfield rifle. This rifle required the sepoys to bite of the grease of cows and pigs, which violated their religious laws and customs.**
 * The Congress Party and the Muslim league was trying to promote the Indians independence.**
 * 1.Live as simply as possible, never striving for material reward**
 * 2.Be tolerant of the religious beliefs of others**
 * 3.Devote one's life to the service of others**
 * 4.Battle injustice in all its forms, but never by resorting to violence**
 * Muhammad Ali Jinnah is the member of the Congress Pary in 1906 and joined the Muslim League in 1913. He said that Hindus should work with Muslims for Indian nationalism. Jinnah was also the first leader in Pakistan but he died 13 months after Pakistan won independence**

Document

6.Which of the documents are pro-British in nature? Which ones are pro-Indian? 7.How would Indians in the lowest levels of their society benefit from India's Constitution as stated in Document H? 8.Using only the information contained in the documents, answer the following question: How would British colonization have a lasting impact on the people of India? Use examples from the document to support your answer.
 * I think that document B, C, and E are pro-British and A, D, F, G, H, I, J, K, and L are pro-Indian.**
 * Indians in the lowest level of their society benefited from India's Constitution because the Constitution stated that everyone is equal, there should be no discrimination in religion, race, caste, sex, place of birth, and there should be no more "Untouchability."**
 * Some of the lasting impact of the British colonization on the people of India was the Constitution of India of "document h." The constitution let the lower class of Indians gain more rights and let them have more freedom. Also in "document f" Mahatma Gandhi accomplished several good things for India. He made India a less violent country, helped India gain freedom. Also on "document g" on Lord Mountbatten, he said that India had a good influence on Britain. India influenced the British mode of life, customs, and speech.**

9. What were the causes of the cultural conflict between the British and the Indians? 10. Identify both positve and negative effects of British Rule in India. 11. How were Gandhi's four general principles effective in dealing with a much more powerful Great Britain? 12. For what reasons did Muslims demand a separate nation? 13. Why did the colony of India break up into four separate nations?
 * The causes of the conflict between the British and the Indians were because of the difference in religion. The new rifle which the British created had the grease from cows and pigs on the cartiridges. To reload this rifle you had to bite of the cartridges but for Indians it was against their religion to do so.**
 * The possitive effects were the British Rule in India was Britain helped build a railway network in the India and they got better technology and education. The negative effect was that British has a very tight control over the native people and took land, money, and even made the Indians slaves.**
 * Gandhi's four general principles had great effect on Great Britain. Ghandi's principles made Great Britons army less violent.He said that the best way for the people to protest was not through violence but to simply just no listen to the government. Then the government will have to change. He called this tactic satyagraha, a Hindu word meaning "soul force" the most powerful weapon of all.**
 * One of the main reason Muslims demanded a separate nation was because of equal rights. The Congress Party and the Nehru did not give equal rights to the Muslims so they wanted to create a new nation for themselves.**
 * India separated into four nations due to religious conflicts. The four parts of the Indian nations were the Pakistan, East Pakistan, West Pakistan, and Ceylon. Pakistan separated from their nation due to unfairness in pro-Hindu postcolonial government, East Pakistan and the West Pakistan separated from their country because coups and the lack of unity, and the Ceylon separated due to religious and cultural factors.**

Task 3 1) Feudalism and mercantilism were two economic systems that preceded capitalism. Review and summarize (in your own words) how they generated wealth. How does capitalism DIFFER from these two systems? 2) According to this lecturer, what forces drive capitalism?
 * Feudalism was a set of legal and military practice in medieval Europe that generated between the 9th and 15th centuries, which, said that a system for structuring society around relationships obtained from the holdings of land in exchange for service or labour. Mercantilism is the economic doctrine in which government took control of foreign trade. Capitalsim is an economic system that was part of the Western world following the demise of feudalsim.**
 * The driving forces of the lecturer was colonialism, fossil fuels, and the free market. The growth of capitalism can be put to the large amounts of resources found in colonies, the ability to extract fossil fuels and convert it into energy, and the competitive system to earn profits.**

Task 4 The Berlin Conference was a conference that was held from Nov. 15, 1884 to Jan. 20th 1885. Countries like France, Great Britain, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, and Spain- and the U.s entered this conference in Berlin to divide the African continent into colonial holdings was held from November 15, 1884 to January 20, 1885. The great European powers—France, Great Britain, Germany, Portugal, Belgium, Italy, and Spain—and the[|United States] met in Berlin, Germany to divide the African continent into colonial holdings. 1) any sovereign power that wanted to claim any territory should inform the other powers "in order to make good any claim of their own," 2) any such annexation should be validated by effective occupation 3) treaties with African rulers were to be considered a valid title to sovereignty.
 * 1) What was the Berlin Conference?**
 * 2) What were the three outcomes of the conference?**

Task 5 Image 1
 * 1) It is anti imperialism because the image shows an European trying to take over Africa.
 * 2) The image shows that Africa has gold.
 * 3) It shows that Europeans are greedy and they want Africa’s gold.
 * 4) They are trying to show that Imperialism in bad.

Image 2 1.This image is pro imperialism because this image trying show that Europeans are superior.
 * 1) This image shows that Africans are poor, worse cloth and characteristics.
 * 2) The image shows that the European should help the Africans.
 * 3) I think this image is trying to tell the European to educate and support the Africans.

Image 3 1.This image is anti imperialism because the snake with the crown that is strangling the native is showing that the king is in too much power over the natives 2.The African shown in this picture is weak and is getting dominated by the snake 3.It shows that Europeans are like snakes, which means evil. 4.The image is trying to show that the king of European countries should stop dominating Africans.

Image 4 2. This image shows that India is used as a playground for British and Africans are gullible. 3.This image tells that the British navy is very powerful, India should be used, and that English man should be trusted 4. This image is trying to tell us that British people are the best in the world.
 * 1) This Image shows pro imperialism because this picture explains British as a strong and are a trusted man.

Image 5
 * 1) This image shows pro imperialism because it is trying to show us that Europeans should teach Africans
 * 2) This image is trying to show that the British are the smarter than the Africans
 * 3) This image shows that the Africans are less smart and need to be taught by Europeans
 * 4) The image is trying to tell Europeans that the Africans are not smart and they are like children

Image 6 1.This image shows anti imperialism because the crow with the crown which was drawn big is on top of the small villegers with huts. 2.The Europeans are shown superior in this picture because the crow with the crown which represents the king of Europe. The crow is bigger than the whole village which means that this image is showing that the king is in control of the village 3.The villagers in this image is expressed powerless and small. 4.I think the author is trying to tell us that the king should not try to take over the land but just improve their own country.

Image 7 1.This image is pro imperialism because the man is looking and the Philippines map and the woman which represent justice is standing beside the man. 2.The American in this image shows that they have the power to get control over the Philippines. 3.The Philippines are expressed as people with no power in this picture. The people in the back are killed. The map which the man is looking at is used to think wether if he should dominate Philippines or not. 4. I think this picture is trying to show us that America is a country with justice. I found out that the image in the middle usually represents the image and the woman in the middle represents justice.

Answers are satisfactory. More thoughtful responses would be better. I see no evidence of video notes for task 3. 25/30

I think Darwin’s theory does apply to culture and society because his theory on nature and struggle for Existence can be a similar with humans. One of Darwin's theory which said that animals were struggling in life because of limited food and weak houses perfectly fits the human condition. Some people just like animals are struggling in life. Humans have problems just like animals which are very similar but hard to notice. Humans have job issues, family issues, and money issues which are very similar to animals.In order hunt their prays Darwin said that they have to be stronger and faster or else they would starve to death. It is very similar for humans as well, in order to get a job, you need to stand out and be better than others.

long term consequences

-War between African and American -The imperialist nation's economy increases || While the DBQ on Darwin is reasonably well done (although your answer does not acknowledge the fact that Darwin would never have thought his scientific work would be applied to a social context), your imperialism chart is ... not wholly your own work? Why is "significantindividuals" included as a "reason/justification for imperialism", for example? WAS there a war between Africans and Americans?? I hope you practice independent thinking more in future.

 * 1) What is “The White Man’s Burden” based on Rudyard Kipling’s description in this poem?
 * The White Mans’s Burden is the responsibility of the white man to teach the Filipinos and educate them. Rudyard Kiplings says it will be hard for America to teach Filipinos but it is their responsibility to teach them.**


 * 1) Do you agree or disagree with Kipling’s characterization? Why or why not?
 * I do not agree with Kipling’s characterization because I don’t think the Filipinos are uncivilized people who are dumb or need America’s help. I think that they have their own culture and their own beliefs that America does not understand.**


 * 1) What does this say about the attitude of Europeans and Americans toward the rest of the world during the mid 1800 - early 1900’s? Use specific examples from the poem.
 * I think that the Europeans and Americans have a bad attitude towards the rest of the world because in the poem Filipinos are called “Half Devils and Half Child” which meant that they thought the Filipinos were evil and not educated.**


 * 1) Is KIS an example of “The White Man’s Burden” in modern Korean society? Why or why not?
 * I think KIS is an example of “The White Man’s Burden” because KIS has the responsibility to teach kids just like the Americans thought they have the responsibility to teach the Filipinos.**


 * Please fix the numbering on assignments. You were asked to give each assignment a date and title on the gallery page. Please do this in future.**


 * Your answers could be more thoughtful and "deep". For example, for the last question, while there is a parallel education function, are the motives the same? 7/10**

1.Why would Andrew Carnegie and Friedrich Engels disagree about the effects of industrialization?

They disagree with each other about industrialization because Andrew Carnegie says that America gained a better home market system due to industrialization. He says America will soon outsell other foreign producers. Friedrich Engels disagrees with capitalism because he thinks the poor people have a bad advantage because of industrialization. Engels cares about workers more than Carnegie because Engels believes workers do not get paid enough and only help middle classes.

2.What might be reasons for 16-year-old mary Paul’s satisfaction with her job and life in Lowell?

Mary Paul is satisfied with her job because she has a good boarding place, has enough to eat, and the girls are all kind and obliging. She says that a spinning room is perfect for a girl.

3.Why might the political cartoon by Walter Crane be useful in getting workers to rally to the cause of socialism?

The cartoon is trying to show that the socialism in going to help the workers from capitalism. Walter Crane expressed capitalism as the devil bat and socialism as an angel.

You have understood the content of the documents, but I'd like to see you making inferences based on that understanding. For example, question #2 asks WHY Mary Paul might have this positive view of factory life (she's young, inexperienced, doesn't have a family to support yet, and so is satisfied when an older more experienced worker would not be). 8/10

1.Would Marx have agree that these countries were "communist"?
 * No, Marx would say that China is not fully communist because China has many things that are like capitalism. For example, China has private ownership which is used in capitalism. Also, it gets items from other countries because China does not produce only necessary items. Chinese people buy iPhones and drive BMWs which does not seem like something Marx would approve.**

2.What has happened to the "communist" world (once called the "Second World", to distinguish it from the "First World" -- wealthy capitalist countries, and the "Third World" -- poor countries)?
 * It spread to several countries, but it did not go as planned. The biggest communist country Soviet Union was separated into many countries that are not communist anymore. Some of the countries that are still communist are China, Laos, and North Korea. Most of these countries are in Asia.**

3.Why do you think this has happened?
 * I think communism was not successful because many of the countries that are still communist are in Asia. Most of these countries have not gone through the industrial revolution or had it very late. C****apitalism is more popular now than communism. Communism is less popular because people want different things and capitalism is the way for people to make and buy items that they want but do not need.**

4.What do you think of the idea that the growing gap between the rich and poor in the industrialized world never materialized (see p. 270) because of the Union movement (the formation of trades unions who unite to demand better working conditions for workers) and reform laws (to improve conditions for workers, eg. safety requirements, limits on the length of the working day, minimum wages)?
 * I think the Union movement and the reform laws made the gap between the rich and poor smaller because when the workers were gathering up to increase their wages they were getting more money which was like getting more power. Also, the reform laws gave workers more benefits like working less for the same wages, more safety at work, protection for children and made the workers lives better.**

I saw that child labor was very common during the Industrial Revolution. More than 50% of the workers were children in garment factories, which seems like a very large percentage of workers. Because technology got better, there were more jobs that were open to many different ages. Children had small hands that could fix things better, they were paid much less than the adults, and they were pliant and submissive workers. Kids were doing various kinds of jobs like selling matches, making silk and making glasses. Not only did teenagers have to work, so did kids as young as 6 years old. The jobs the children worked were dangerous, boring, and gloomy. Eventually people start to protest against child labor.

I agree with this statement that Industrial Revolution have been described as a mixed blessing. In the Industrial Revolution there was bad and good things during the revolution. The people were living in bad conditions and working in a dirty house. But the people got to produce more goods and new jobs were created.

Some of the bad conditions people were in bad living conditions such as dirty and crowded bedrooms with diseases going around. Also there was a very bad working condition which was dangerous especially for coal mining workers were in accidents frequently with damp conditions and breathed bad air which shortened their life at least by 10 years. Also as the revolution went on the class tension grew. The middle class was getting stronger and the working class was getting even weaker.

The good things after the Industrial Revolution was that the standard of living was increased due to new cures and less labor. The production of goods were increased because of new machines that helped people and people were assigned new jobs that had more pay and less time. The nations wealth was well contributed which created less tension between each classes and technological progress and invention was fostered.

2 Maps Analyzing

The first map is trying to show us how many muslims there were in each country. They show us that surprisingly there are muslims in China and some Emperors like Zheng Hu was also a muslim.

The second map is showing us the routes that Zheng He took during his voyages. This map shows us that China was already ready to find new land and explore all overt the world way before Columbus even thought of finding new land.

The 1424 China Questions Jason, you might want to be more careful with the title!

1. I think the first picture is trying to show us how amazing the chinese empire was and how great there navy was. This picture shows the ships that were used to carry around treasures and many men. You can tell that China was more advanced in technology and building ships. They had bigger and wider ships than the ships that were used in Europe.

2.This picture shows us the european map of the 1400s. I think this picture is trying to show us how great each empires were and which empires were small. The Holy Roman Emperor, the Emperor of Byzantium, the Doge of Venice and the kings of England, France, Castille and Portugal were not invited to China because they were lacking trade goods.

3.The moving image is trying to show us how the Chinese dynasties got bigger and bigger and came out to unite as one country. This map is trying to show us the progress of how China became one country from so dynasties.

4.This picture is showing us the silk road that was used for Chinese trade. This road is probably the road that the Chinese used to trade silk that China was producing. The silk road went through many countries including India, China, Tibet, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and many more countries.

5. This map shows you the population of Europe. You can see that London has more people than other countries, this shows us how great the impact of the new walled capital was.

6.This map shows you the formation of the Inner City and the Outer City. If you compare the two maps you can see tell that the Outer city was wider than the Inner city but the Inner City was bigger in size.

Three Map Analysing 9/5/11

By looking at the three maps that were given to us we can tell that Islam was increasing in the size of the land and the water. Also we noticed that there were different territories and different sides to the country.

 * 1) [[file:History Project.pages]]Jason... is this a "unique title using your name + last initial" as instructed?

Please give each assignment a title and date, and separate using the blue bar button in the editing tool bar. See my comments and grade below:

Vocabulary?

Not the main idea of the article. Think about this.
 * 1) In section 1, //Heretical Beliefs//, the historian gives his account of a historical event. What is happening to Hogsflesh? What is the historian's “story” or main point of the article?
 * Hogsflesh has to walk through the streets of a Chichester at market time to complete his penance. He was only wearing a strip of shirt, shoes and a strip of lined around his weight, whilst carrying a faggot. He had to go on a small platform and announce that he had been convicted for heretical believes. He repeated the ritual until he got to join the religious procession at the Chichester Cathedral with the faggot. The main point of this article is that he was trying to get back in the Chichester Cathedral after what he has done wrong.**

2. What are the roles of a historian defined by John Arnold? Do you agree or disagree with his assumptions? Can you think of any other roles?
 * The roles of the historian defined by John Arnold was that historians needed to report to the world what he or she finds, inform the wider world about the pass. They also have to fill in the gaps that other historians left out when recording history as an interpreter. I think these roles are agreeable because if the historians didn’t record the past the people from the future will not be able to know about the past. Some other roles that the historians can do are to draw some of the events that were really important so the people from the future gets a better understanding of the past.**

You have identified some, but not all of the roles Arnold identifies.

3. What is meant by “treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?” Remember to put your response in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references? The final sentence is true, but is not related to the question, which is about the importance of "treating...sources with fidelity."
 * This means that historians do not write false information about the past and write only the truth. Also this can mean that they do not ignore the records that were contradict the historians argument.** **It is important to put your responses in your own words because if you just copy of someones work you will not be able to understand the meaning but if you write it in your own world you will understand the meaning of the story.**

4.What is meant by “treat(ing) their sources with fidelity?” Remember to put your response in your own words. Why is it important to remember this when reading historical references?
 * This means that historians do not write false information about the past and write only the truth. Also this can mean that they do not ignore the records that were contradict the historians argument.** **It is important to put your responses in your own words because if you just copy of someones work you will not be able to understand the meaning but if you write it in your own world you will understand the meaning of the story.**

This is a repeat of question #3. How did you not notice this?

5.How can a single event be interpreted in more than one way? Can you think of an event in your life that historians could interpret with differing points of view?
 * A single event can be interpreted in more than on way because all the people have different perspectives. Every people have different minds and they are thinking different things when they have an event.**

"Every people"? Careful with English please. What happened to the event from your life?

6. Talk to a family member or friend about something that happened to you both a long time ago. Examine how you both remember the incident and write about it. With that in mind, when attaching meaning to history, is it possible for a historian to be completely objective? Use examples from the incident you just discussed to reinforce your response.
 * When I was 5 years old I remember playing a card game with my mom and falling off my bed because I was laughing so hard. It is not possible for a historian to be completely objective because usually if the event was not so rememberable it is not objective. I remember my story because that was the first time I fell on my head while playing a card game.**

You have not compared your version of the event with someone else's.

7.What problems may arise when historians practice subjective history? In what ways may subjective history be beneficial to the study of history? Think back to the incident you just discussed with your family member or friend. Why did it make sense for you to remember the event the way you did and for the other person to remember it the way he or she did? What does this tell us about history
 * The historians might have problems when practicing subjective history because they have different opinions about how to set the history. They study the history and think it is beneficial because it will help the people later know about the past. Our family remembered the event because the event was so funny and memorable even thought it was not a happy moment for me. This shows that only the important events were put in to the history and many historians probably had problems deciding what was important and what was not.**

"History" does not have an article in front of it. Your conclusion is incorrect.
 * 1) Why is every historian "a storyteller?" If all historians are storytellers and there are myriad versions of every story, can we trust historians? Why or why not?
 * Every History is a story teller because it is an event that happened in the past and the people who know these events are telling and recording these events. Even though storytellers have myriad versions this doesn’t mean that you can not trust historians because many historians have many different views of looking at the history for example Germans think they did nothing wrong at the World War 2 but the Jewish people think the Germans were did the worst thing.**

This is a good answer, despite the incorrect assertion that "Germans" (did you ask them all?) think they did nothing wrong in (not "at") World War II (not "2"). This is exactly the opposite of the German government's official position.


 * 1) How did your view of history and historians change based on this reading? How will you approach history now that you have explored these views?

Incomplete.
