Fit2Cure: The Future of Health in the Palm of your Hands .
The document discusses Fit2Cure, a game that aims to democratize medical discovery by engaging the public in drug discovery through a game interface. It notes that while human lifespan has increased 100% in the last 100 years, current medicine cannot keep up with more than 10,000 diseases. It argues that collective intelligence from a large number of people playing Fit2Cure could help speed up the drug discovery process, noting examples where citizen science projects had significant contributions. The document outlines how Fit2Cure would work as a game and its goals of connecting to personal genetics to allow players to work on proteins relevant to their health, with top scorers having donations made in their name to research.
A technological revolution
The document summarizes key aspects of the Second Industrial Revolution in the United States following the Civil War, including:
- New technologies like electricity, telegraph communication, and railroads transformed daily life and business by improving transportation of goods and people, enabling longer work hours, and allowing communication over long distances.
- African American inventors and innovators like Garrett Morgan, Granville Woods, and Lewis Latimer contributed important inventions that advanced industries like rail transport despite facing racial prejudice.
- Major innovations like Henry Bessemer's low-cost process for mass producing steel, Henry Ford's assembly line techniques, and Frederick Taylor's scientific management theories fueled rapid industrial growth.

Globalization is characterized by increased flows of trade, capital, technology, information and people across borders. While not a new process, globalization accelerated after World War II due to technological advances. Supporters argue it raises living standards through comparative advantage and improves environmental/labor standards over time. Critics argue it harms some people and serves corporate interests by enabling a "race to the bottom" in regulations. Studies have shown mixed effects of globalization on economic growth, inequality, and poverty reduction between and within nations.
Adv and disadv of technology
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of technology. It notes that while technology has improved communication and entertainment, it can also enable an unhealthy dependency on machines. Additionally, the latest technologies pose privacy risks as hidden cameras and hacking can violate individuals' privacy without their consent. However, the document acknowledges that technological evolution is integral to society and has contributed to various fields, and will likely continue doing so in the future.
How to write a dbq
This document provides guidance on writing a Document-Based Question (DBQ) essay for AP history exams. It explains that a DBQ requires students to make an assertion defending a position using evidence from historical documents and outside knowledge. It outlines a six-step process for writing the essay, including reading the question, analyzing documents, forming a thesis, using a "Yes/But" strategy to address counterarguments, and writing the essay. It emphasizes analyzing rather than quoting documents, referring to documents by title not letter, and including specific historical examples to support the thesis.
Big Era 6 Power Point
Global convergence from 1400 to 1800 led to accelerating changes worldwide. Ideas, goods, technologies, and pathogens spread further and faster as trade networks expanded. World population grew significantly due to improved nutrition, while disease devastated native populations in the Americas. States and empires grew larger and more powerful through conquests, colonization, and wealth from trade and manufacturing. Challenges to absolutist rulers emerged from new social elites and ideas about human rights and democracy. Overall, this era saw the world become more interconnected as it moved closer to the modern globalized world.
Big Era 7 Power Point
Between 1750-1914, the Modern Revolution brought significant changes through industrialization, population growth, globalization, and new ideas. Key developments included the harnessing of fossil fuels like coal which powered new technologies and factories, increased agricultural production to support growing populations, the rise of democratic political ideals and nation-states, and global migrations and imperialism which shifted economic and political power towards Europe and North America. However, these changes were interconnected and challenging to control, with new ideas and forces for change spreading universally once industrialization and advances in communication and transportation were underway.
Big Era 5 Power Point
During Big Era Five (300-1500 CE), cultural exchange increased dramatically across Afroeurasia and within the Americas due to growing populations, migrations, expanding trade networks, the rise of large empires, and spread of universal religions. Innovations in technologies, such as maps, the compass, and lateen sails enabled Europeans to begin linking Afroeurasia and the Americas in the late 15th century, marking the start of a new era of global connections.

Big Era 4 Power Point
Between 1200 BCE and 500 CE, world population grew significantly due to advances in agriculture and iron technology. This population growth fueled the establishment of extensive networks of exchange across Afroeurasia and the Americas, including trade routes, writing systems, and the spread of major religions. Empires arose that maintained networks for communication, trade, and cultural diffusion over vast areas. By 500 CE, population increases had led to deforestation, more complex societies, greater collective learning, and more people living in large urban centers connected through expanding networks.
Big Geography - Overview Presentation
This document provides an overview of key concepts in world geography that are important for understanding global history. It discusses different map projections and defines continents. Key points include: viewing Eurasia and Africa as a single landmass called Afroeurasia; the significance of seas within Afroeurasia in facilitating communication; the impact of the great arid zone and mountain ranges; and the role of winds, currents and major rivers in connecting different regions. The objective is for students to develop a mental map of the entire world in order to think globally.
Big Era 2 Overview Power Point
This document provides an overview of key events in Big Era Two from 200,000 to 10,000 BCE:
- Homo sapiens evolved in Africa by 200,000 years ago and began migrating to Southwest Asia and other regions.
- Language allowed humans to exchange complex ideas, store knowledge across generations through culture, and continuously build upon ideas - a process known as collective learning.
- Collective learning through culture enabled humans to adapt to diverse environments more successfully than other species and migrate worldwide.
- Neanderthals and Homo erectus inhabited parts of Eurasia but went extinct as Homo sapiens populations expanded and cultural complexity accelerated after 40,000 years ago.
Globalization
This document provides examples of interconnectedness and interdependence in globalization across several topics: multinational corporations and their large economic power; measures of economic activity like GDP and changes over time; international trade agreements like NAFTA and OPEC setting oil prices; worldwide stock market crashes and oil crises affecting many nations; debt and poverty issues especially in the global south; the shift to more women in the workforce; privatization policies promoted by organizations like the World Bank; and the formation of trade alliances like GATT and the WTO to establish global trade rules.
Misc challenges
This document discusses several environmental and social issues: deforestation is caused by population growth and urbanization which destroys natural habitat and the ozone layer; emitting chlorofluorocarbons causes loss of the ozone layer which removes ultraviolet protection from the sun; emitting carbon dioxide contributes to the greenhouse effect and climate change; sulfur emissions from factories cause acid rain which destroys forests and biodiversity; technological and biological advances enable weapons that could lead to war or fall into the wrong hands; and population growth, war, and natural disasters can exacerbate hunger and starvation.
Social issues and possible solutions
Social issues are moral problems that directly or indirectly affect members of society. The United Nations was founded in 1945 with the goals of preventing war and promoting human dignity. It has various agencies that provide aid to address economic and social problems. Agenda 21 from the 1992 UN Conference on Environment and Development outlined proposals for sustainable development actions. Non-governmental organizations work on issues like human rights, the environment, and disarmament to cultivate global perspectives.
Terrorism effects
The document summarizes key events related to terrorism from 1972 to 2007. It begins by discussing the 1972 Munich Massacre where Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage and killed 11 Israelis at the Olympics. It then outlines several major terrorist attacks including the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, the 1995 sarin gas attack in Tokyo subway, and the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centers and Pentagon. The document concludes by describing Operation Enduring Freedom, the US military operation launched in 2001 against al-Qaeda and Taliban forces in Afghanistan and other regions.
