Introduction

Hi, I am Sarita.


Number of replies: 3

I am studying Business Administration here at NDNU and am working on my last classes to be able to graduate. I am very curious about World History and because I am on the Finance field, I didn't have a change to explore about our history like I will in this class. I am looking forward to learning from this class material and conversations with you all and hope I can keep up with all the reading and writing required. I prefer the in-class environment and am trying to adapt to the new online learning style. I was born in Brazil in second generation Italian, German and Portuguese families. I am very curious to find out more details about my ancestors but haven't made it a priority just yet. When I do, I would like to visit the places my family come from and learn about our history. For now, I really enjoy living in the melting pot of the Bay Area. The opportunity to meet people from all around the world is very unique. I also love going back home in Brazil and be with my beloved family, friends and relive and make fun new memories. My family and I enjoy playing Capoeira (Brazilian Martial Arts), soccer, riding our bikes and going for hikes. 

I want to wish each and all of you health and inspiration to achieve your dreams - little and big ones. 

Sincerely,

-Sarita

    Hi Sarita, Nice to meet you!!! My name is Claudia .I am also Brazilian. I am from Rio de Janeiro, which city in Brazil are you come from? I enjoyed in reading your introduction. I agree with you , I prefer in-class lectures, but with all this pandemic going around the globe, I think this will take time to life come back to normal. It took me a while to figured out this blog, but I think lots of students are in doubt like I do, I think I am not the only one. I wish you the best in your journey and I am looking forward to see you in our graduation day, I will be holding a little Brazilian flag, and we can seet closer to each other to celebration our graduation day in a very Brazilian style. It will be fun!!! Best of luck to you!!!! Boa sorte pra voce!!!!

Chapter 15: Scientific Revolution - "The Question of Origins: Why Europe?"

In Chapter 15 under the section “A New Way of Thinking: The Birth of Modern Science,” Strayer writes about “The Question of Origins: Why Europe?” “Science as Cultural Revolution.” “Science and Enlightenment.” For this post, I will focus on “The Question of Origins: Why Europe?” section, specifically responding to the comparison sidebar question: “Why did the Scientific Revolution occur in Europe rather than in China or the Islamic world” (p. 665)? The Scientific Revolution occurred in Europe rather than in China or the Islamic world because the western Europeans were ready to challenge the knowledge of others cultures in addition to having a well established legal system and autonomous universities which set them up for success. Several centuries after 1000 in China, the Confucianism culture was considered sophisticated and secular for that time period. It didn’t have as much religious dogma such as in Christianity and Islam and its technological accomplishments and economic growth wer...

Chapter 10: The worlds of Christendom, 500 - 1300

The definition of the word Christendom is the qualities and characteristics of a group of people or nations under a Christian set of morals and values, the Christian World. In history, Christendom refers to the Medieval and Renaissance idea of the central place of Christianity in the lives, nations, countries and states of individuals. Starting in the 4th century, the first Christian to become an emperor, Constantine I, used his power to rule the Roman empire to be a Christian State, causing a huge transformation into inhabitants’ lives. Whoever lived in that territory became part of the Christian World and were treated differently if decided to choose to not be part of it. “Christendom in its earlier stages came to refer to Christians united into one body. This unity was very significant because it was a unity of religion, but it was also a political unity creating powerful alliances.” The East and West were united in believing in one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. Christendom m...
