Buddha
The document discusses the key teachings of Buddhism as presented by student Aditya Kumar. It outlines the Four Noble Truths taught by the Buddha - that life involves suffering, desire is the cause of suffering, one must eliminate desire to end suffering, and following the Eightfold Path can end desire. The Eightfold Path consists of right thought, belief, speech, action, livelihood, effort, memory, and meditation.
Four Noble Truths
The document summarizes the Four Noble Truths of Buddhism. It explains that the first truth, Dukkha, recognizes that life involves suffering due to its impermanent nature. The second truth, Tanha, identifies desire and craving as the cause of suffering. The third truth holds that suffering can be overcome, while the fourth prescribes the Noble Eightfold Path as the solution to end suffering. This path involves right view, intention, speech, action, livelihood, effort, mindfulness, and concentration.
Vais presentation
The document describes a lesson plan for using artifacts from museum websites and Google Drive to help students develop critical thinking skills and better understand historical events in their proper cultural context. The plan involves students analyzing artifacts using guiding questions to determine the social, political and economic significance in the society that created them. Examples of artifacts and questions are provided, as well as directions for a guided practice where the teacher models artifact analysis with students and provides feedback in real-time using a shared Google Doc.

Greek philosophy 1314
This document compares the ancient Greek city-states of Athens and Sparta. It discusses their differences in social structure, political systems, and economies. It also mentions the philosophers Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle and asks how Socrates' arrest and execution reflected the decline of Athens' Golden Age culture.
Appalachian culture
This document discusses analyzing the culture of Appalachia. It asks questions about what culture is, what categories cultural traits fall into, and what factors shape culture. It then asks the reader to list 8 values, customs, or traditions that distinguish Appalachian culture from broader American culture based on analyzing Census data about factors that have shaped Appalachian culture.
Geography of greece 1314
The document discusses how geography was a cultural determinant for ancient Greek civilization. It describes three key geographic factors - climate, terrain, and access to the sea - that profoundly influenced Greek culture. The mild Mediterranean climate promoted public life and activities like democracy and drama. Mountainous terrain divided Greece into independent city-states and hampered unity. Lacking natural resources, the Greeks relied heavily on the sea for trade, colonization, and the spread of ideas throughout the Mediterranean region.

Legalism 1314
1) Shih Huang Ti unified China through force of arms and instituted sweeping reforms from 238-210 BC that established cultural unity still maintained today.
2) He was born during the declining Zhou Dynasty when China was divided into warring states. The powerful state of Qin adopted legalist philosophy emphasizing strict laws and impartial enforcement to control people.
3) As king of Qin, Shih Huang Ti vigorously conquered the remaining states and in 221 BC declared himself the First Emperor of a unified China, emphasizing a break with the past divided system.
Mesopotamian, confucian, legalist 1314
Bill enjoys Apple products but only owns an old iPod. He often goes to the mall with his friend Lucy, who he suspects likes him. One day at the mall, Lucy steals an iPhone 5C from the Apple Store and gives it to Bill as a gift. When Bill asks how she got it, Lucy admits that she stole it.
Hammuabi's code vs. confucius 1314
Confucius would not have agreed with the law cutting off a son's hands for striking his father. Confucian philosophy emphasized respect for elders and harmony within relationships, but also advocated for compassion and that punishment should fit the crime to avoid further damage to social order.
Mesopotamian Artifacts- Rulers
Ancient Mesopotamian households paid taxes in kind rather than money, and paid different taxes throughout the year, including poll taxes of livestock. Merchants transporting goods paid tolls and duties. The most burdensome tax was a labor obligation where free men owed months of service to the government doing tasks like harvesting or military service. Men avoided this by substituting slaves or hired workers, though this was technically illegal. Cuneiform tablets provide insights into Mesopotamian taxation systems.
Structuring a written argument 1314
The document provides guidance on writing a thesis statement by explaining that a thesis should have two parts: 1) taking a stance or position on the topic in question, and 2) providing three reasons to support that stance. It then provides an example thesis responding to the question "Is STAB a good school?" by outlining a template for a thesis that states the stance ("STAB is a good school because...") and leaves blanks to fill in three supporting reasons.
Agricultural revolution 1314
Ramon, a humble Indian, commented that in the beginning, God gave every people a cup of clay to drink from and live their lives. In his mind, this was a clear metaphor. He said that while all people dipped into the water, their cups were different. Now, his cup (his people's way of life) has broken and passed away. Jared Diamond would likely explain that environmental and geographical factors contributed to Ramon's people's fate, putting them at a disadvantage compared to other societies that had access to resources and technologies that promoted growth.
Note taking and practice reading quiz 1314
This document provides guidance on effective note-taking strategies for a World History textbook. It emphasizes focusing carefully while reading, filtering out irrelevant information, and using shorthand such as abbreviations. The Cornell note-taking system is presented as an organized format involving dividing a page into columns for main ideas and details. Students are instructed to practice taking notes from assigned textbook pages. Key tips include dating and titling notes, leaving space for summaries, and using main ideas to recall content.
Detecting bias 1314
The two articles provide different accounts of the events leading up to the Challenger disaster. The New York Times article focuses on the national reaction after the explosion, omitting details about warnings prior to launch. In contrast, the Columbia Journalism Review article reveals that CNN had reported warnings from engineers about risks from cold weather, and that NASA initially decided to proceed with launch despite these warnings. The omission of pre-launch warnings from the NYT article suggests a bias toward protecting NASA's reputation. Including this omitted context would provide a more complete narrative of the disaster.
Detecting bias 1314
The two documents discuss the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. The first document from the New York Times focuses on the national grief over the deaths of the seven astronauts, including Christa McAuliffe. It describes how people across the country reacted with shock and sadness when hearing the news. The second document from the Columbia Journalism Review provides more context on the disaster. It explains that CNN had received a memo warning that cold weather could cause equipment failures, but that NASA decided to continue with the launch anyway. The shuttle exploded shortly after launch, killing all crew members aboard.

Gemma augustea 1213
The document discusses the Gemma Augustea, an ancient Roman cameo gem from around 15 AD. It is carved from a semi-precious stone and depicts various figures and symbols. The cameo gem provides insight into imperial ideology and propaganda during the early Roman Empire period.
Roman republic and checks and balances 1213
The document discusses the early Roman Republic from 509 BCE to 133 BCE. It notes that during this period there were two dominant themes: 1) the expansion of Rome first in Italy and then the Mediterranean, and 2) a gradual constitutional change from aristocracy to democracy through the extension of political and social equality to the lower plebeian classes. The patricians established the Republic by replacing the monarchy with consuls and the Senate retaining legislative power, though they initially controlled the system through their clients in the Centuriate Assembly.
Founding myths 1213
This Renaissance painting and sculpture are depicting the founding of the Latin race from Roman mythology. According to the myth, Aeneas, prince of Troy, escaped the fall of Troy carrying the household gods and sailed with other fugitives to Italy. Once they reached Italy, Aeneas and his men had lost everything except their ships and swords, and began searching the countryside for supplies after landing at Laurentum. This scene would have been significant for Romans as it portrayed the origins of their civilization from the Trojan hero Aeneas, establishing themselves in Italy after the fall of Troy.
Geography of rome 1213 2
The document discusses the early history of Rome and the Italian peninsula. It states that the Latins, Etruscans, and Greeks vied for control of the region where Rome was founded. The Latins occupied central Italy, the Greeks established coastal colonies, and the advanced Etruscan civilization was located north of the Latins. Rome was strategically located inland, avoiding the dangers faced by coastal cities and allowing it to maintain traditional values in the face of foreign influence and change, which helped it grow to eventually dominate the peninsula.
Interwar 1213
This document discusses post-World War I Europe from 1919-1924. It mentions France's search for security after the war and the heavy reparations imposed on Germany by the Treaty of Versailles of 132 billion German marks and $33 billion. It also discusses France occupying the Ruhr Valley in Germany and the inflation that resulted from the economic turmoil after the war.
Geography of rome 1213
Rome was located in central Italy along the Tiber River, which provided access to inland and coastal trade routes. This central location allowed Rome to expand its territory and influence across the Italian peninsula as it competed with other cities and territories for dominance. Rome's power grew until it controlled the entire peninsula and beyond, though it faced sacks in 390 BC by the Gauls and later invasions in 410 and 455 AD by other groups that contributed to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
Russian revolution 1213
The document summarizes key events in Russia in 1917, including the abdication of Tsar Nicholas II in March, the establishment of the provisional government, Lenin's April Theses calling for an end to the war and redistribution of land, and the Bolshevik revolution in October overthrowing the provisional government. It provides context on Russia under Tsar Nicholas II and his autocratic rule prior to World War I, as well as Marxist and Leninist interpretations of these historical events.
Alexander and hellenistic art 1213
The document discusses factors that appear to have motivated Alexander the Great based on several quotations, including his desire for conquest, glory, and to spread Greek culture and values. It is suggested that Alexander was ambitious and sought to conquer Persia after his father Philip II had conquered Greece, leaving Alexander to launch a campaign against Persia at a young age. His greatest achievement is commonly considered to be his extensive conquests across Asia and Europe, establishing many cities named Alexandria along his path.
Greek philosophy 1213
The document discusses the Peloponnesian War between Sparta and Athens in the 5th century BCE. It mentions that while the war may have seemed inevitable, the document questions why Sparta and Athens specifically went to war.
