When there was a economic depression in 1929, Japan didn't try to find internal problems.**

**Station 3:**
Was Mao a better or worse national leader than Stalin? Answer on your gallery page.
 * Mao was similar to Stalin because they had similar dreams, but if I had to say who was a worse leader, I would say that Mao was a worse ruler because he killed anyone that was blocking his government and people that didn't follow his ideas.

**Darwin Questions & Age of Imperialism Chart 2/8/12**

 * Darwin Questions & Age of Imperialism Chart 2/8/12**

__Do Darwin's theories apply to culture and society? Why or why not? Use the excerpts above and strong examples to support your points.__
 * I think that Darwin's theories apply to culture and society because his theories talk about natural selection and that applies to culture and society. Us, humans have to have a competition to get better lands, more goods, and to earn more profits. One of Darwin's theories shows that the "fittest" would almost always have the power to rule ad conquer other places. That shows that Darwin's theories apply to culture and the society.**



Really? Do you believe that because a country is larger/stronger/richer it has the right to dominate others? This is not a view I would have expected from someone in the 21st century, although it was quite common in the 19th century and perhaps even the first half of the 20th century. Your imperialism table is quite well done, though I would like to know which is justification and which is actual reasons for imperialism. 8.5/10

**Photo Essay 1/25/12**
After reading and looking at the pictures and essay, I knew that during the Industrial Revolution, there were a lot of children working on different jobs and were paid less. The children were working at places like factories which affected their health. For example, the children got lung cancers. The death rate of children increased the work rate decreased since the "workers" which were children, died from different kinds of diseases. There were also physical abuses which were caused by adults and that also made a huge problem.

**Industrial Revolution Question 1/20/12**

 * The Industrial Revolution, and the urbanization that accompanied it, have been described as a mixed blessing. To what extent to you agree with this statement?**

I agree with the statement, the Industrial Revolution, and the urbanization that accompanied it, have been described as a mixed blessing**.** During the 1800s the industrialization quickly spread in Britain. The Industrial Revolution manufactured goods such as food and technology**.** Also the urbanization led to people gaining more and more wealth. The food and other goods that were produced increased**,** and the cost of the food and other goods decreased. Many people had jobs that also increased technology. But on the other hand, the Industrial Revolution led to many pollution because of the factories that were producing goods. Even though there was a great increase in goods and wealth, there were some bad effects that the Industrial Revolution made.

11/15/11 __**Absolutism Questions**__

__1. What is absolutism?__ Absolutism is a theory about monarchs where kings rule with absolute power

__2. Explain the justification for absolutism referred to as the 'divine right of kings'.__ The divine right of kings is the one important rule given to the monarchs. Divine right of kings is an authority given to monarchs directly from God. According to this, monarch's decision meant the decision of God. This meant, if you disagreed or challenged the monarch, this was doing unto God himself. This theory also meant it could be used to maintain order among society. This was what Thomas Hobbes said believing, this will organize the disorderly society. The divine right of kings gave the monarchs total power in which they had power to control and manage everything in the state.

__3) List the causes of the rise of Absolutism in Europe.__ Absolutism was caused by Bureaucracy, collecting taxes, and they regulated all parts of economy and built navies to protect their trades.
