Northern Italy saw the rise of a merchant middle class during the late medieval period that embraced humanism and drew inspiration from Greco-Roman antiquity as seen in sculptures that emulated classical styles from that era.
Population growth led to the need for agriculture to support more people. Agriculture required fertile soil, so people settled in Mesopotamia along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. As populations grew, distinct cultures and civilizations developed in places like Sumer to help communities adapt to their environments. Sumerian mythology and culture helped preserve their way of life by explaining natural phenomena and instructing proper social behaviors.
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.
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.
The document discusses the concept of culture. It defines culture as the way a group of people adapts to its environment and background through values, customs, and traditions. These elements make up the shared identity and behaviors of a cultural group. The document also explores how culture is learned and passed down through socialization as people grow up, ensuring the next generation learns the expected norms and behaviors of their society. Improper socialization can result in a person failing to properly learn or conform to their cultural group.
The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism outline that life involves suffering, suffering stems from desire and attachment to things, reducing desire and attachment eliminates suffering, and following the Eightfold Path is the means to reduce desire.
The document describes an assignment for students to analyze cultural features of Americans by "making the familiar strange". Students are asked to choose a common American cultural practice, find an image to illustrate it, and describe the practice objectively as if observing an unfamiliar culture. The goal is to analyze familiar cultural practices in a way that makes them seem strange or unfamiliar in order to better understand and explain them to others. Students who can most effectively analyze a cultural trait this way may earn extra credit.
The document discusses the political structure and rulers of Mesopotamia between 2800BC-500BC. Nomadic warriors invaded and conquered Mesopotamia around 2000BC, establishing the first Babylonian Empire with its capital in Babylon. King Hammurabi commissioned the famous Hammurabi's Code around 1750BC both to establish order and assert that he was a just ruler, as the code was based on principles of government responsibility, retaliation, and discrimination under the law.
The document provides an overview of 19th century economic theories including liberal economics as proposed by Adam Smith and Marxist economics as proposed by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. It discusses Smith's views of natural law, laissez-faire, free market competition, and a limited role for government. It then covers Malthus' theory of population growth and Ricardo's iron law of wages. Finally, it summarizes some key aspects of Marxist theory including the view that history is defined by class conflicts between the haves and have-nots and that institutions are designed to support the dominant economic class.

The document provides tips for effective note-taking from textbooks. It discusses that note-taking is an active rather than passive process that requires filtering unimportant information and using shorthand. It recommends choosing an organized note format like PEV notes with columns for people, events, and vocabulary or Cornell notes with a left column for main ideas and a right column for details. The tips emphasize reading sections before writing, using abbreviations, and dating and numbering notes for easy reviewing.

The summary is meant to highlight the key activity of students creating and grouping polling questions for a class quiz.
The document traces the timeline of key events in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from 1917 to 1967. It notes the 1917 Balfour Declaration, the 1920 British mandate over Palestine after WWI, increased violence between Palestinians and Jewish immigrants in the 1930s, the 1947 UN partition plan creating Israel and Palestine, Israel declaring statehood in 1948 and the subsequent Arab-Israeli war, armistice agreements in 1949, Israel capturing Gaza and the Sinai in the 1956 Suez Crisis but being forced to withdraw, and the 1967 Six Day War where Israel preemptively struck and defeated Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
The passage discusses the debate between whether life was better for hunter-gatherers or farmers. It notes that while hunter-gatherers had more leisure time and did not have to work as hard as farmers, they were also more vulnerable to food shortages and famines. Farming allowed communities to support larger populations, but farmers had to work harder and longer hours to grow enough food. Overall, there are good arguments on both sides, and reasonable people can disagree on which lifestyle was ultimately better.
The document summarizes key artworks from the 19th century that demonstrate the shift from objective realism to subjective expressionism in European art during that time period. It briefly mentions several representative paintings such as Millet's The Gleaners (1857), Monet's Water Lilies (1905), Munch's The Scream (1893), Picasso's Three Musicians (1921), and Dali's The Persistence of Memory (1931) that increasingly focused on subjective experiences and emotions over realistic depictions of objects and events.
The document provides guidance on writing the introduction paragraph for a thesis paper on the prompt "Discuss advantages and disadvantages of St. Anne’s-Belfield as a school."

It then narrows the scope by providing background context and leads logically to the thesis statement. The thesis statement should be the main point or argument that will be defended in the paper.
The Scientific Revolution represented a shift from the medieval worldview to a modern worldview. [1] It combined Renaissance humanism's emphasis on individual ability with the Scientific Revolution's conception of a mechanistic, mathematically governed universe. [2] Francis Bacon would have supported Copernicus's heliocentric theory as it was empirically derived rather than based on the authority of past thinkers like Aristotle. [3] Bacon advocated testing ideas through experiments and observation rather than accepting them on faith.
The document discusses the formation of alliance systems in late 19th century Europe. It describes how the chain of events leading to World War I began in 1871 with the unification of Germany under Bismarck's leadership. It then explains Bismarck's strategy of allying Germany with at least two of the other great powers to isolate France. The document outlines the key alliances formed under Bismarck's diplomacy known as the Bismarckian System and identifies three shortcomings of this system, including that it brought together incompatible states, was dependent on Bismarck, and encouraged opposing alliances.
The document discusses the Protestant and Catholic Reformations. It contains images from Martin Luther's 1546 edition of the New Testament and a painting commissioned in 1619 depicting Ignatius Loyola preaching and casting out demons from a church. The Reformations were a major period of religious change and upheaval in 16th century Europe that divided Christianity between Protestant and Catholic denominations.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.

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.
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.

Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
