part 1 he following just needs a reply to atleast 100 words How were the declines of the Aztec and Inca empires similar? part 2 the following just needs a reply to atleast 100 words They were both destroyed by the Spanish. They both started out as a small militaristic group and grew in numbers as they conquered surrounding groups. The Aztec and Inca made some enemy’s from the people they conquered outside their walls and this later became a negative for when the Spanish arrived, some people were willing to help them to conquer and destroy both the Aztecs and the Inca empires. Both empires believed in many of the wrong “gods” and this I think was a negative point for them. As both empires grew so did tension and pressure to do more and more. After a while both empires grew to great numbers and after the Spanish took over Christianity was introduced and this new religion in with theirs was not going to work. Both cultures suffered from wide spread disease and this made them weak and easier to be conquered by the Spaniards. .

Indian conquistadors by miguel cardenas
Hernan Cortes led Spanish conquistadors in conquering the Aztec empire in Mexico in the 16th century. The Aztecs, led by their king Montezuma, believed Cortes was the reincarnation of their god Quetzalcoatl. Cortes' conquests were successful due to diseases that killed many natives, more advanced Spanish weapons, and large armies that included up to 40,000 indigenous warriors fighting alongside the Spanish. The native people greatly aided the conquistadors by serving as guides, translators, scouts, and porters who carried wounded soldiers. Cortes employed a repeated strategy of using each newly conquered city as a base to attack the next, intimidating local people
Student 1 postThe prominent myth represented in this te.docx
Student 1 post
The prominent myth represented in this textbook excerpt is the “Conquistador Myth,” or the idea that both the dominance and cultural superiority of Spaniards allowed for a swift conquering of indigenous populations. To illustrate, the text mentions how the Spanish exercised great power with their horses, firearms, cannons, and steel swords. The passage then states that these weapons offered the Spanish an overwhelming advantage over the Aztec. Yet, as discussed in this week’s lecture, Spanish weaponry such as guns were not always as effective as indigenous technology like crossbows. The depictions of the Aztec throughout the summary offer little explanation of indigenous weaponry or resistance against the conquistadors, aside from the brief mention of a revolt against Cortés. As a result, this passage concurs with the myth by implying that the Aztec were a weak, unadvanced population, dumbfounded by the Spanish might. The text does not paint the Spanish in an entirely positive light, with mention of the subsequent forced work, hunger, and diseases that colonization inflicted onto indigenous populations. However, in terms of cultural superiority, the book offers little criticism of newly introduced European political and economic ideas, suggesting they were preferable to the “oppressive” Aztec rule of the past.
Student 2 post
From this weeks lecture and the reading, there are multiple myths that are showcased in explaining why the Spanish conquest of the Indigenous people occurred the way it did. First the "conquistador myth" implies how the Europeans were set to win in the conquest because of their cultural and equipment superiority. This is the myth present in the high school textbook as the books focuses only on the Spaniards actions and their successes, not on the problems they ran into from the indigenous community fighting back. This myth is made weak in Townsends work as it is made clear how this conquest was not something that happened overnight, it took months thanks to the bravery of the native warriors who kept fighting off the Spaniards even after seeing first hand the difference in their equipment. Also, there is no mention of the successes of the complex existing nations of the natives, they are made to seem small minded and weak in order to play into the idea of European superiority. Another myth discussed is the "white god myth" which implies how the natives saw Cortes as as their god Quetzalcoatl who was prophesied to return around this time. Townsend emphasizes how some natives themselves believed this myth because they could not come to terms with their incredibly strong and fearsome ancestors having fallen to another power without another explanation.

Cortes and his men were able to defeat the Aztec Empire through military, ideological, and political advantages. They had weapons like cannons and horses that frightened the Aztecs, who believed the Spaniards were gods. Cortes also made alliances with Aztec enemies and was able to communicate through a translator. Additionally, smallpox brought by the Spaniards decimated the native population.
1. Latin American Colinization
The document discusses the colonization of Latin America by European powers like Spain and Portugal in the 15th-16th centuries. It covers topics like the motives for attacking the Aztec civilization, the military advantages the Spanish had over indigenous groups, the transfer of peoples, animals, diseases between the new and old world (Columbian exchange), how diseases devastated indigenous populations, the establishment of colonial governments and the role of the Catholic Church in conversion efforts and education in the colonies.
Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest
This document summarizes the key points from each chapter of Matthew Restall's book "Seven Myths of the Spanish Conquest". The chapters debunk common myths about the Spanish conquest of Central and South America, such as the ideas that the conquest was led by a small group of adventurers, that the conquistadors were professional soldiers, and that native cultures were completely destroyed. Restall argues that the conquest has been portrayed through exaggerated and misleading myths that originated in the 16th century to justify Spanish actions and dominance over native peoples.
The Aztecs
The Aztecs rose to power by forming strategic alliances that allowed them to dominate central Mexico. They attributed disasters to angering the gods, so they performed elaborate human sacrifice ceremonies to appease them. However, rebellions began as the empire grew too large to effectively manage. When Hernan Cortes arrived with weapons and allies of the Aztecs' enemies, he was able to take advantage of their military weaknesses and detain their emperor Moctezuma. The Aztec empire fell on August 13, 1521 after months of fighting and disease killed an estimated 240,000 people. Cortes then forced the remaining Indians to convert to Christianity and abandon their cultural traditions and religion.
Struggle and survival 1
Diego Vasicuio was a Native priest in Mexico who was able to pass down the gospel to future generations by diverting attention from himself and identifying other "sinners". Martin Ocelote was an Aztec priest who predicted the conquistadors would come, for which he was jailed, but was later released when it proved true. He had a gift for converting people to Christianity. Antonio De Gouveia was a priest from the Azores who furthered his education in Italy and Rome before practicing medicine in Portugal, where he was later arrested by the Spanish Inquisition but became a member of the Society of Jesus.
Lesson 17 conquerors and indigenous people
The document discusses the Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire from multiple perspectives. It acknowledges that some see the conquest as a glorious feat, but argues that the rapid fall was actually due to the empire's internal crisis and divisions. The Spanish conquistadors were supported by local tribes who collaborated against the Inca. Diseases brought by the Spanish also devastated the indigenous populations. The document examines the transition from conquest to colonization and the roles of the initial conquistadors, colonists born in Spain, and Creole colonists born in the Americas. It also discusses ongoing indigenous resistance and the peoples' efforts to maintain their communities, customs and identities despite domination.

Struggle & Survival: Spain
The document discusses the struggle and survival of various individuals during the Spanish colonization of Latin America:
1) Diego Vasicuio was a native priest in Peru who was later accused of heresy for continuing indigenous rituals.
2) Martin Ocelotl was born into a merchant family in Mexico and converted to Catholicism but still practiced old traditions. He was later tried by the Spanish Inquisition.
3) Juan de Morga and Gertrudis de Escobar were rebellious slaves in Mexico who struggled for freedom.
4) Isabel Moctezuma was the daughter of an Aztec ruler who was killed by Hernan Cortes. She converted to Christianity and married

1) The document discusses how various individuals of Spanish and indigenous ancestry struggled to survive under the new Spanish colonial system in the Americas following the conquest.
2) It describes how some, like Diego Vasicuio and Martin Ocelotl, were able to avoid conflict with the colonizers by adapting to the new social and religious order.
3) However, others like the slaves Juan de Morga and Gertrudis de Escubar faced severe punishment and hardship being forced to serve on plantations.
Spanish empire
1) The document discusses how various individuals of Spanish and indigenous ancestry struggled to survive under the new Spanish colonial system in the Americas following the conquest.
2) It describes how some, like Diego Vasicuio and Martin Ocelotl, were able to avoid conflict with the Spanish by joining the priesthood or adapting their business practices.
3) It also discusses the hardships faced by slaves like Juan de Morga and Gertrudis de Escubar who endured daily beatings and intense labor on plantations.
Differences Between The Spanish And Inca
The Inca and Aztec empires had similar economic structures centered around state control and labor. Both empires organized large labor forces through tributary systems that required common people to work for the state. This state labor allowed for massive infrastructure projects and resource management. However, the empires differed in their social structures, with the Inca having a strict class divide and the Aztecs practicing sacrificial rituals. The Spanish conquest disrupted both economies, though Inca social hierarchies were more thoroughly dismantled.
Aztec Interactive Powerpoint
The presentation summarizes the fall of the Aztec Empire, which was originally called the Mexica. It discusses how Hernan Cortes and the Spanish conquistadors were able to defeat the Aztec Empire through military advantages like guns and horses, exploiting Aztec religious beliefs that they were gods, and unwittingly spreading diseases that killed many Aztecs. Key factors in the empire's fall included human sacrifices that alienated neighbors, inability to kill Spanish invaders due to religious reasons, and a smallpox epidemic that killed approximately 25% of the Aztec population.
1 The Pueblo Revolt, 1680 Kevin M. Gannon (2013) Issue
1
The Pueblo Revolt, 1680
Kevin M. Gannon (2013) Issues and Controversies in History.
Were the Pueblo Indians Justified in Rebelling Against the Spanish?
The Issue
The 1680 Pueblo Revolt in the Spanish colony of New Mexico was the first—and only—
successful rebellion of Native American peoples against the Europeans who ruled them by force
during the colonial period of American history. Spanish colonizers and their Pueblo subjects
embraced diametrically opposed beliefs about the world and their place within it; the tensions
that sprang from this opposition would culminate in an extraordinary outbreak of violence and
insurrection in the summer of 1680. The Spanish believed that their colonial presence in New
Mexico was eminently justifiable, and that Spanish colonization was a mandate from God. To
the Pueblo, the Spanish used religious conversion as a vehicle of oppression, abused the native
population, and were powerless to protect the Pueblos from the numerous threats they faced to
their very survival.
• Arguments that the Spanish Presence in New Mexico Was Legitimate and Just: The
Spanish justified their conquests in the “New World” by arguing that the conversion of
Native Americans to Roman Catholicism was of paramount importance—the true Word
of God was being spread, and Indian souls were saved. Inherent in this view was a belief
that indigenous Americans were inferior to Europeans. By demonstrating the proper ways
to exploit the bountiful resources of the Americas (including plentiful amounts of silver)
and to worship the Christian God, the Spanish were undertaking a mission to “civilize”
what they saw as backwards, ignorant, and savage Indians.
• Arguments that the Spanish Presence in New Mexico Was Intolerable and that the
Spanish Must be Expelled by the Pueblo: For decades, the Pueblo had seen their land
and people mercilessly exploited by the Spanish. The Spanish had forced the Pueblo to
give them a share of their crops and other goods, leaving them with scant provisions to
sustain themselves and their families. The efforts of the Spanish Franciscan priests to
convert them to Catholicism also meant the often violent suppression of their native
religious practices. The Franciscans’ message of a loving and merciful Christian God did
not match the harsh and violent reality of Spanish colonization, which seemed to grow
worse over time.
Background
For Pedro Hidalgo, August 10, 1680, started out as probably most days did. A Spanish soldier,
Hidalgo served as a one-man security detail for Fray Juan Pío, a Franciscan missionary to the
Indians of the Tesuque Pueblo, one of many native pueblos in the Rio Grande region claimed by
the Spanish as part of the colony of New Mexico. Early in the morning, Hidalgo and Pío had set
out from the capital of Santa Fe toward Tesuque, where the priest was to say mass. At dawn, the
two Spaniards reached the pueblo, only to find it empty; even the livestock was gon ...

The Uniform Crime Reports page on the FBI government Web site provides links for their annual
Crime in the United States
publications. Before you are able to view one of these reports, you are given the following disclaimer:
Caution Against Ranking
Each year when
Crime in the United States
is published, some entities use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region. Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction.
The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual reporting units from cities, metropolitan areas, states, or colleges or universities solely on the basis of their population coverage or student enrollment.
Why do you think this cautionary notice is given before users are directed to the FBI's

PART II Comparisons
Choose one
of the three pairs of theorists below. Explain how their ideas compare with each other. What are the similarities or continuities? What are the differences? Are they compatible? You should demonstrate that you know what each concept is on its own and attempt to draw comparisons as best you can. Your answer should be about 500-600 words but it is most important than you take the time to formulate a thesis and back it up by making clear and concise comparisons in a well-organized manner.
D. Marx and Weber
Compare and contrast the way that Marx and Weber describe life under the division of labor and the capitalist mode of production. Compare how they both see it as a controlling power that subordinates people to its requirements. How similar are they? Are there any differences to how they see this issue? Look especially at how Marx discusses the “general formula for capital” in
Capital
and how Weber discusses rationalization and the iron cage at the end of
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
.
E. Weber and Durkheim
Compare the ways that Weber and Durkheim discuss social stratification. Towards the end of his discussion of “Classes, Status Groups and Parties,” Weber addresses the way the division, grouping and inequality of people on the basis of their economic position in the market affects the social position of status groups, especially when discussing castes and privileges of social ranks. How do markets and individual competition affect the social privileges of status groups? How does this compare with Durkheim’s discussion of caste in the section on the “Forced Division of Labor”? How does caste conflict with the spontaneous distribution of people into occupations?
F. Durkheim and Marx
Both Marx and Durkheim discuss the relation of individual development to the development of the species as a whole through the development of the division of labor. They both agree that the division of labor confers benefits on the species. They may differ on some of the details. Compare and contrast Marx’s and Durkheim’s discussion of the fate of individual and the species as it relates to the division of labor, specialization and the dangers of fragmentation. Look at Marx’s discussion of “Alienated Labor” (and perhaps some parts of the
German Ideology
) and Durkheim’s discussion in the “Anomic Division of Labor” and his “Conclusion” in
The Division of Labor in Society
. How do their views on specialization and human development differ?

Part I
Answer in 100 words or more:
Copyright laws are changing as digital sound, image, and video technologies evolve and become easier to use. Although the courts seem to clearly hold that it is illegal to copy media for profit, they are not as clear about the acceptability of modifications. For example, video editing software makes it relatively simple for people to clip out parts of movies they find to be objectionable for themselves or their children. Should it be legal to do so for personal use? What if an organization wanted to rent out such edited copies? What if DVD players and movies were set up so that the devices would edit and display the revised version on the fly?

1) Diego Vasicuio was a native priest in Peru who was later accused of heresy for continuing indigenous rituals.
2) Martin Ocelotl was born into a merchant family in Mexico and converted to Catholicism but still practiced old traditions. He was later tried by the Spanish Inquisition.

1) The document discusses how various individuals of Spanish and indigenous ancestry struggled to survive under the new Spanish colonial system in the Americas following the conquest.
2) It describes how some, like Diego Vasicuio and Martin Ocelotl, were able to avoid conflict with the colonizers by adapting to the new social and religious order.

Spanish empire
1) The document discusses how various individuals of Spanish and indigenous ancestry struggled to survive under the new Spanish colonial system in the Americas following the conquest.
2) It describes how some, like Diego Vasicuio and Martin Ocelotl, were able to avoid conflict with the Spanish by joining the priesthood or adapting their business practices.
3) It also discusses the hardships faced by slaves like Juan de Morga and Gertrudis de Escubar who endured daily beatings and intense labor on plantations.
Differences Between The Spanish And Inca
The Inca and Aztec empires had similar economic structures centered around state control and labor. Both empires organized large labor forces through tributary systems that required common people to work for the state. This state labor allowed for massive infrastructure projects and resource management. However, the empires differed in their social structures, with the Inca having a strict class divide and the Aztecs practicing sacrificial rituals. The Spanish conquest disrupted both economies, though Inca social hierarchies were more thoroughly dismantled.
Aztec Interactive Powerpoint
The presentation summarizes the fall of the Aztec Empire, which was originally called the Mexica. It discusses how Hernan Cortes and the Spanish conquistadors were able to defeat the Aztec Empire through military advantages like guns and horses, exploiting Aztec religious beliefs that they were gods, and unwittingly spreading diseases that killed many Aztecs. Key factors in the empire's fall included human sacrifices that alienated neighbors, inability to kill Spanish invaders due to religious reasons, and a smallpox epidemic that killed approximately 25% of the Aztec population.

The Pueblo Revolt, 1680
Kevin M. Gannon (2013) Issues and Controversies in History.
Were the Pueblo Indians Justified in Rebelling Against the Spanish?
The Issue
The 1680 Pueblo Revolt in the Spanish colony of New Mexico was the first—and only—
successful rebellion of Native American peoples against the Europeans who ruled them by force
during the colonial period of American history. Spanish colonizers and their Pueblo subjects
embraced diametrically opposed beliefs about the world and their place within it; the tensions
that sprang from this opposition would culminate in an extraordinary outbreak of violence and
insurrection in the summer of 1680. The Spanish believed that their colonial presence in New
Mexico was eminently justifiable, and that Spanish colonization was a mandate from God. To
the Pueblo, the Spanish used religious conversion as a vehicle of oppression, abused the native
population, and were powerless to protect the Pueblos from the numerous threats they faced to
their very survival.
• Arguments that the Spanish Presence in New Mexico Was Legitimate and Just: The
Spanish justified their conquests in the “New World” by arguing that the conversion of
Native Americans to Roman Catholicism was of paramount importance—the true Word
of God was being spread, and Indian souls were saved. Inherent in this view was a belief
that indigenous Americans were inferior to Europeans. By demonstrating the proper ways
to exploit the bountiful resources of the Americas (including plentiful amounts of silver)
and to worship the Christian God, the Spanish were undertaking a mission to “civilize”
what they saw as backwards, ignorant, and savage Indians.
• Arguments that the Spanish Presence in New Mexico Was Intolerable and that the
Spanish Must be Expelled by the Pueblo: For decades, the Pueblo had seen their land
and people mercilessly exploited by the Spanish. The Spanish had forced the Pueblo to
give them a share of their crops and other goods, leaving them with scant provisions to
sustain themselves and their families. The efforts of the Spanish Franciscan priests to
convert them to Catholicism also meant the often violent suppression of their native
religious practices. The Franciscans’ message of a loving and merciful Christian God did
not match the harsh and violent reality of Spanish colonization, which seemed to grow
worse over time.
Background
For Pedro Hidalgo, August 10, 1680, started out as probably most days did. A Spanish soldier,
Hidalgo served as a one-man security detail for Fray Juan Pío, a Franciscan missionary to the
Indians of the Tesuque Pueblo, one of many native pueblos in the Rio Grande region claimed by
the Spanish as part of the colony of New Mexico. Early in the morning, Hidalgo and Pío had set
out from the capital of Santa Fe toward Tesuque, where the priest was to say mass. At dawn, the
two Spaniards reached the pueblo, only to find it empty; even the livestock was gon ...

Part I
The Uniform Crime Reports page on the FBI government Web site provides links for their annual
Crime in the United States
publications. Before you are able to view one of these reports, you are given the following disclaimer:
Caution Against Ranking
Each year when
Crime in the United States
is published, some entities use reported figures to compile rankings of cities and counties. These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mold crime in a particular town, city, county, state, or region. Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents. Valid assessments are possible only with careful study and analysis of the range of unique conditions affecting each local law enforcement jurisdiction.
The data user is, therefore, cautioned against comparing statistical data of individual reporting units from cities, metropolitan areas, states, or colleges or universities solely on the basis of their population coverage or student enrollment.
Why do you think this cautionary notice is given before users are directed to the FBI's
Crime in the United States
publication? Expand on your viewpoint and find credible sources to support your rationale.

of the three pairs of theorists below. Explain how their ideas compare with each other. What are the similarities or continuities? What are the differences? Are they compatible? You should demonstrate that you know what each concept is on its own and attempt to draw comparisons as best you can. Your answer should be about 500-600 words but it is most important than you take the time to formulate a thesis and back it up by making clear and concise comparisons in a well-organized manner.
D. Marx and Weber
Compare and contrast the way that Marx and Weber describe life under the division of labor and the capitalist mode of production. Compare how they both see it as a controlling power that subordinates people to its requirements. How similar are they? Are there any differences to how they see this issue? Look especially at how Marx discusses the “general formula for capital” in
Capital
and how Weber discusses rationalization and the iron cage at the end of
The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism
.
E. Weber and Durkheim
Compare the ways that Weber and Durkheim discuss social stratification. Towards the end of his discussion of “Classes, Status Groups and Parties,” Weber addresses the way the division, grouping and inequality of people on the basis of their economic position in the market affects the social position of status groups, especially when discussing castes and privileges of social ranks. How do markets and individual competition affect the social privileges of status groups? How does this compare with Durkheim’s discussion of caste in the section on the “Forced Division of Labor”? How does caste conflict with the spontaneous distribution of people into occupations?
F. Durkheim and Marx
Both Marx and Durkheim discuss the relation of individual development to the development of the species as a whole through the development of the division of labor. They both agree that the division of labor confers benefits on the species. They may differ on some of the details. Compare and contrast Marx’s and Durkheim’s discussion of the fate of individual and the species as it relates to the division of labor, specialization and the dangers of fragmentation. Look at Marx’s discussion of “Alienated Labor” (and perhaps some parts of the
German Ideology
) and Durkheim’s discussion in the “Anomic Division of Labor” and his “Conclusion” in
The Division of Labor in Society

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

part 1he following just needs a reply to atleast 100 words.docx
- 1. part 1 he following just needs a reply to atleast 100 words How were the declines of the Aztec and Inca empires similar? part 2 the following just needs a reply to atleast 100 words They were both destroyed by the Spanish. They both started out as a small militaristic group and grew in numbers as they conquered surrounding groups. The Aztec and Inca made some enemy’s from the people they conquered outside their walls and this later became a negative for when the Spanish arrived, some people were willing to help them to conquer and destroy both the Aztecs and the Inca empires. Both empires believed in many of the wrong “gods” and this I think was a negative point for them. As both empires grew so did tension and pressure to do more and more. After a while both empires grew to great numbers and after the Spanish took over Christianity was introduced and this new religion in with theirs was not going to work. Both cultures suffered from wide spread disease and this made them weak and easier to be conquered by the Spaniards.
