Before the Scientific Revolution, most people believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe and that humans were the focus of creation. The Scientific Revolution changed perceptions of humanity's place in the solar system by establishing that the Sun, not Earth, was at the center. Some positive aspects of government include separation of powers and promoting religious tolerance. Potential areas for improvement involve things like criminal justice and women's rights.

Ancient Roman Medicine Final
The Romans initially paid little attention to Greek medicine and doctors like Hippocrates when they invaded Greece. However, Hippocrates was considered the father of modern medicine for establishing it as a science separate from philosophy and myth. Most Roman medical treatment occurred at home, where herbal remedies passed down for generations were used. Women played a key role in household medical care and treatment. When herbal remedies failed, some trained doctors could be consulted, though many doctors had little training. The Romans advanced surgery to treat soldiers, developing tools like saws, scalpels, probes, and catheters. While Roman medicine was primitive, the tools they developed led to modern medical instruments that save many lives today.
Prehistoric Medicine Lesson 1
The document discusses prehistoric medicine and how the lifestyle of prehistoric people would have impacted it. Some key aspects it outlines are:
- The prehistoric period lasted from 500,000 to 20,000 years ago, before the development of written history
- Prehistoric people were nomadic hunter-gatherers who lived in tribal bands and had low-level technology like stone and wood tools
- Their lifestyle gradually changed over thousands of years as some began farming and using metal tools like iron
- Their nomadic lifestyle and low technology would have presented challenges for developing medicine during this time period.

Power Point Greek Medicine
Greek medicine was based on the belief that illness was a punishment from the gods. Patients would pray in healing temples to be cured. Priests would put patients to sleep and have snakes slide across their bodies, which was thought to cure them. The Hippocratic Oath, dating back to the 4th century BC, was authored by Hippocrates and had doctors swear to treat patients to the best of their ability. Today's doctors take a modern version of this oath. Hippocrates was a famous Greek physician from the island of Cos who taught medicine and healed many people, including the Macedonian king who had tuberculosis. Greek medicine also utilized the theory of four humors to balance the body - phlegm,
CHC Eight Grade Science Module 1A (8-22-14)
This document provides an overview of the history of science from ancient Egyptian times through the 1600s AD. It discusses key early scientists and their contributions, including Thales, Democritus, and Aristotle in ancient Greece; Ptolemy's geocentric model of the universe; the stagnation of scientific progress during the Dark Ages; and the proposals of Copernicus and Galileo that challenged the Ptolemaic system. A turning point was the scientific revolution in the 1500-1600s led by figures like Copernicus, Galileo, and Newton, who developed the laws of motion and gravity and helped establish the scientific method.
1003 History of Medicine Greek
The document discusses factors that led to advancements in ancient Greek medicine. It explains that the Greeks believed in the theory of four humors - black bile, yellow bile, phlegm, and blood - and that imbalances in these humors led to disease. The document also discusses the significance of Hippocrates, noting that he believed illness was natural rather than supernatural and helped develop the theory of the four humors. It evaluates how Hippocrates' work was hugely important and helped doctors make new discoveries about how the body works.
Strayer notes ch 16 2
The document summarizes key topics in the globalization and spread of religion and science between 1450-1750. It discusses the Protestant Reformation and Catholic Counter-Reformation in Europe and their impacts. It also covers the spread of Christianity to other regions like the Americas and Asia through missionary work and cultural exchange. The document then summarizes the rise of modern science in Europe through the Scientific Revolution and Enlightenment, including challenges to previous worldviews and new approaches to knowledge. Finally, it discusses why other societies like China, Japan, and the Ottoman Empire were less influenced by European scientific developments at this time.
Religion and science
The document provides an overview of key developments in the early modern period including the globalization of Christianity, the scientific revolution, and their cultural impacts. It discusses how Christianity spread globally for the first time through missionary efforts and imperialism. The scientific revolution challenged religious authority and older worldviews, fostering new ways of thinking. Enlightenment thinkers applied the scientific approach to human affairs and society, advocating reason and progress. However, 19th century science later undermined some Enlightenment assumptions. European science was selectively adopted in Asia, influencing fields like medicine and cartography but not wholly transforming local traditions.

The human person in the environment
This document discusses different frameworks for understanding humanity's relationship with the environment, including anthropocentric and ecocentric models. It also summarizes perspectives from several ancient and modern thinkers such as Anaximander, Phytagoras, Kant, Marcuse, Mead, and Fromm. These philosophers proposed ideas like seeing nature as orderly and beautiful, recognizing humanity's domination of nature, developing an ecological conscience, and recognizing our duties to the wider community and environment. The document advocates shifting away from anthropocentrism towards perspectives like deep ecology and ecofeminism to encourage more sustainable relationships between humanity and nature.

The document summarizes key events in human history and evolution:
- The cognitive revolution began with the development of homo sapiens' brains in Africa, allowing them to use tools, language, and weapons to hunt stronger animals. There is debate around whether homo sapiens killed or interbred with other species.
- The agricultural revolution started around 10,000 years ago as sapiens transitioned from hunting to farming, increasing their workload and population size. This led to the development of religion, money, laws to help large groups cooperate.
- Empires then formed to help unify diverse cultures under common political and religious systems, spread through conquest or alliances.

Ch20 Sections 3 & 4 Notes
The diet of wealthy Europeans in the 18th century consisted of meat and wine, while the poor relied mainly on grains and vegetables. New foods like the potato improved nutrition for the poor. Medical practices were still primitive, with reliance on purging and bleeding patients. Religion remained important in daily life, though Catholic and Protestant churches faced more state control. Popular religious practices mixed with entertainment and release of tensions during festivals.

Dr. Spencer Wells uses DNA to trace the existence of humans to a single man who lived in Africa over 60,000 years ago. This gives insight into our evolutionary past and shows that we all descended from an African bushman who was forced to migrate in search of food during a period of climate change. James Burke argues that human advancement is driven by our innate curiosity and desire to explore, which can both help and hinder societies. Climate change, natural disasters, and diseases have significantly impacted human civilizations throughout history by causing droughts, starvation, and the spread of new diseases.

Chapter 1 Toward Civilization
This document provides an overview of how historians and anthropologists study early human societies. It discusses how geography is linked to history and how the study of artifacts can provide insights into past cultures. A key development was the Neolithic agricultural revolution, when humans transitioned from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled farmers. This allowed for surplus food production and the emergence of early civilizations along major river valleys, with defining characteristics like cities, governments, religions, and writing. Civilizations further spread and changed over time through conquest, environmental changes, and cultural diffusion between groups.
Big history s osborne
The document discusses several topics related to human history and development:
- Ancient Greeks began asking questions about nature and formulating answers, laying the foundations for scientific inquiry.
- As societies develop "truths", they work to preserve them through traditions and institutions while allowing for gradual, regulated change.
- Genetic evidence traces all modern humans back to one man in Africa, from whom people migrated and populated the world, including the first humans to reach Australia.
- A massive volcanic eruption in the 6th century CE caused global ecological catastrophe and climate change that led to famines, spread of plague, and political instability in parts of Europe and Asia.
Stone Age
The document provides an overview of world history from prehistory to 3000 BC. It discusses how geography is linked to history and how anthropologists and archaeologists study early peoples. It describes advances made in the Old Stone Age and the religious beliefs of early humans. It explains how the Neolithic Agricultural Revolution led to permanent settlements and civilization near rivers. Key features that distinguish civilizations are also outlined, and how cultures spread and changed over time through interactions.
Sapiens a brief history of humankind 17BCL123D
Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind surveys the history of humanity divided into four parts: the Cognitive Revolution, Agricultural Revolution, Unification of Humankind, and Scientific Revolution. The book explores how Homo sapiens evolved and came to dominate the planet through cognitive abilities like language and imagination rather than technology or physical attributes. Around 70,000 BCE the Cognitive Revolution enabled the use of fictive language which has shaped concepts like morality, human rights, religion, and politics. The book examines how humanity transitioned from hunter-gatherers to an agricultural society and the technological and self-improving advancements that have occurred since.
Unit 5 prehistory theory
Prehistory is divided into three main periods - the Palaeolithic, Neolithic, and Metal Ages. The Palaeolithic, which began over 2 million years ago, saw the emergence and evolution of early humans from primate ancestors in Africa. Key hominid species that developed over this time include Homo habilis, Homo erectus, Homo antecessor, Neanderthals, and Homo sapiens. Neanderthals and Homo sapiens existed side by side in Europe for thousands of years before Neanderthals went extinct. The Neolithic began around 9000 BC when early humans adopted agriculture and settled in villages. During the Metal Ages beginning around 5000 BC, humans began using
Human evolution
Human evolution began approximately 7 million years ago and progressed through four main stages. The first modern humans appeared around 200,000 years ago in Africa. Several theories examine the relationship between environmental conditions and human evolution. Key human adaptations include bipedalism, larger brain size, and reduced sexual dimorphism between males and females. Neanderthals were a separate but related species that engaged in interbreeding with modern humans before going extinct.
Prehistoric Medicine Lesson 2
The document discusses prehistoric medicine and compares it to practices of Australian Aborigines. It notes that prehistoric people performed trephining operations on skulls, as evidenced by healed bone growth. Historians have proposed various theories for why, including drinking vessels or releasing evil spirits. The document also describes how Aborigines used spiritual explanations and natural remedies for illnesses and injuries, treating wounds with clay or animal fat and broken bones with hardened clay casts. Their spiritual explanations involved evil spirits causing illnesses or a person's spirit leaving their body.

The document discusses the scientific revolution and key intellectuals that contributed revolutionary ideas during this period. It provides details on Copernicus, Darwin, and Freud. Copernicus proposed that the Sun, not Earth, was the center of the universe, challenging the dominant geocentric view. Darwin developed the theory of evolution by natural selection, replacing religious design views of creation. Freud developed psychoanalysis as an observational method to study the human mind. The document also summarizes contributions to early science from civilizations in Mesoamerica, Asia, and the Middle East.
Concept of public health.pdf
The science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting physical and mental health and efficiency through organized community efforts for the sanitation of the environment, the control of community infections, the education of the individual in principles of personal hygiene, the organization of medical and nursing service for the early diagnosis and preventive treatment of disease, and the development of the social machinery, which will ensure to every individual in the community a standard of living adequate for the maintenance of health.
History, science, and trade 1
1) History is shaped by human biases and interpretations rather than objective facts. There is no single true interpretation of past events.
2) Scientists have determined that all humans alive today descended from a single group in Africa around 70,000 years ago, based on genetic evidence. However, different disciplines disagree on the exact timing of human origins and migration patterns.
3) Major catastrophes like meteor impacts, volcanic eruptions, and diseases have repeatedly changed human civilization and population sizes throughout history.

The three market structures are perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and oligopoly. They seem to depend on the number of firms in the industry and level of product differentiation. Oligopoly is characterized by having a few large firms, similar but not identical products, and interdependent decision making. The concentration ratio measures the percentage of total market output produced by the top four firms, with higher ratios indicating less competition. Several US industries have very high concentration ratios, including video game consoles at 100% and credit cards at 99%.

Productive efficiency refers to producing at lowest cost while dynamic efficiency involves reinvesting supernormal profits into lowering costs further. The document considers which market structure results in each type of efficiency.
01 monopolistic comp
This document contains snippets of text from various sources discussing economic concepts like market structures, competition, and costs. It includes brief explanations of perfect competition, monopolistic competition, oligopoly, and monopoly market types. Students are asked questions about different markets and perfect competition. Graphs are shown for perfect competition, monopolistic competition, and marginal revenue under monopolistic competition with deadweight loss.
01 3 reform
This document discusses the Reformation period in Christianity between 500-1500 AD. It provides background that during this time all Christians were Catholic, led by the Pope and bishops. The priests sold indulgences claiming they could reduce time in purgatory. Martin Luther protested the Catholic Church's corruption in 1517, sparking the Protestant reformation. Luther and other reformers disagreed with practices like selling indulgences and wanted people to be able to read the Bible in their own language. The document examines key figures and events of the Reformation like Martin Luther, his 95 Theses, and the new Protestant churches that formed.
Pharm mon to perfect
This document discusses demand for lifesaving pharmaceuticals and the pricing of drugs under a monopoly. It asks how the demand curve would look if a firm had a patent on a cure for cancer and what deadweight loss would be. It also asks if such a firm should be allowed to charge any price and how quantity supplied would change if the firm price discriminated. The document then provides a graph showing the transition from a monopoly market to a competitive market when a drug patent expires and generics enter. It asks about other similar markets and provides links about copyright and public domain works.
Price discriminating monopolist
This document discusses the concept of price discrimination. It begins by defining price discrimination as selling the same good at different prices to different buyers based on their willingness to pay. It provides examples such as student/senior discounts and differences in airline ticket prices. The document explains that under perfect price discrimination, a monopolist can capture all consumer surplus as profit and eliminate deadweight loss. However, in reality firms can only imperfectly discriminate by dividing customers into groups based on observable traits related to willingness to pay. It concludes by asking questions about whether price discrimination should always be illegal and discussing the "Soup Nazi" character from Seinfeld.
Monopoly types
This document discusses monopolies and public policy related to monopolies. It begins by explaining the key characteristics of a monopoly market, including that a monopoly has total pricing power as the sole seller of a good or service. It then discusses the different types of monopolies such as geographic, government-granted, technological, and natural monopolies. The document goes on to explain how a profit-maximizing monopoly determines its optimal quantity and price using demand and marginal cost curves. It notes that a monopoly produces a lower quantity and charges a higher price than would be produced under perfect competition, resulting in deadweight loss. Finally, it discusses various public policy options for dealing with monopolies, such as antitrust laws to increase competition, regulation
Thurs banking
This document contains instructions for a homework assignment about the Medici family during the Renaissance. Students are asked to answer 7 questions: 1) identifying if a source is primary or secondary, 2) discussing how the Medici family business helped Europeans, 3) considering why the Medici patronized artists, 4) listing 3 Medici contributions people enjoy today, 5) analyzing the Medici view on education, 6) evaluating the impact of powerful families, and 7) creating a timeline of 5 Medici family events. The document repeats the assignment questions multiple times.
Block renaissanceart
This document provides an overview of Renaissance art and key concepts about the Renaissance period from the 1300s to 1550. It discusses causes of the Renaissance like the rediscovery of Greek/Roman ideas and art. Renaissance art is characterized by elements like perspective, realism, contrast between light and dark, and depicting humanism in Greek/Roman styles. The document lists and shows images of famous Renaissance artists like Michelangelo, Donatello, Da Vinci, and Raphael and some of their iconic works. Students are assigned a task analyzing Renaissance paintings or creating original art in the Renaissance style.
Mon printing press
The document discusses the impact of the printing press invention by Johannes Gutenberg in the 1400s-1600s. It notes that before the printing press, all books were handwritten which was a long and difficult process. The printing press allowed books and new ideas to spread widely across Europe, helping to end ignorance. This was a factor in the Renaissance period, a time of "rebirth" in European culture and society. The document suggests Gutenberg is one of the most important people to ever live due to his role in popularizing printing.
Shut down point and profit
The document contains examples and explanations of microeconomic concepts related to firm behavior including:
1. How a competitive firm determines its profit-maximizing quantity where marginal revenue equals marginal cost.
2. How the marginal cost curve determines the firm's supply decision - if price is above marginal cost, the firm will increase output.
3. The difference between a firm's short-run decision to shutdown if price is below average variable cost, versus its long-run decision to exit the market if price is below average total cost.
Black plague wed thur
The document discusses the deadliness of diseases over time. It mentions that the Black Plague killed 30-50% of Europe's population in the 1300s. Students are asked to compare graphs showing which diseases are not as deadly today and which two diseases remain deadly. The document also discusses a modern plague outbreak in Madagascar in 2013 and brainstorms ways the US and Madagascar governments could help prevent future outbreaks. Students are assigned to create a 4-page health pamphlet for people in the 1300s about the symptoms, prevention, and societal impacts of the Bubonic Plague.
04 black plague wed thur
The document discusses several deadly pandemics throughout history, including the Black Death plague which originated in China and spread along the Silk Road to Europe in the 14th century, killing an estimated 30-50% of the European population. Students are assigned to write a letter from a Silk Road trader during this time period describing how life has changed in Rome due to the plague, symptoms of the disease, and how to prevent its spread. Other assignments involve analyzing the impact of a modern disease outbreak and creating an educational pamphlet about the bubonic plague.
03 intolerance today
The document provides instructions for students to complete assignments on discrimination and religious intolerance. Students are asked to describe a time they witnessed discrimination and how they responded, and how they will respond in the future. They are also assigned a group poster project analyzing cases of extreme religious intolerance by indicating the location, groups involved, and events, and conveying a message about the effects of such behavior.
02 intolerance inquisition
The document discusses the religious protections guaranteed by the First Amendment and how countries may change if they adopted different state religions. It provides background on countries with official state religions, the concept of a theocracy where government is run by religious rules, and details about the Spanish Inquisition where the Catholic church ruled Spain and persecuted those who did not conform to Catholic doctrine.
01 end of crusades
Constantinople was important during the Crusades as it was the capital of the Byzantine Empire and controlled the trade routes between Europe and Asia. Spain was under Muslim control during the Crusades. The document provides notes about Crusades events like the Siege of Jerusalem in 1099 and Battle of Nicopolis in 1396, and asks questions about Crusader advantages and Ibn Fadlan's travels.
Perfect comp m t
This document discusses competition in markets through a series of examples and questions. It begins with an experiment involving different levels of competition and asks students to consider how it affects pricing power. It then discusses the benefits and drawbacks of competition for consumers and producers. Various market structures are introduced, including perfect competition as exemplified by markets like gasoline, salt, and paper clips. Firms in perfect competition are price takers, and the document explores how they can increase revenue and profit given these constraints.
Sports assignment
The Tohono O'odham tribe wants to build a soccer stadium next to their casino. This would create both positive and negative externalities for the local community and governments. Negative externalities could include increased traffic and noise, while positive externalities could include more jobs and tax revenue. Finding ways to minimize the harm to neighbors, such as addressing traffic issues, would help gain city support for financing the stadium project. Understanding the elasticity of demand for tickets, concessions, and merchandise through price changes would help the tribe maximize revenue.
Cost curves computer lab
This document provides instructions for creating graphs using an online graphing tool to illustrate various microeconomics concepts related to supply and demand, costs of production, and market equilibrium. Students are asked to create graphs showing: a unit elastic supply/demand curve with price controls; a market with negative externalities; the effect of a per unit tax; short-run cost curves and break-even analysis; and supply/demand shifts in response to current events. The final questions provide an additional economics game and a request for new classroom tools.
