1. Welcome To Modern World History !!!
This document provides an agenda and introduction for a Modern World History class. It includes introductions, an overview of class basics and required books. It poses discussion questions about what history is and why religion is important to study. It defines what history and religion are, and lists the major world religions. For homework, it instructs students to cover their books and complete online tasks through the class website.
Christian philosophy
This document provides an overview of the origins and development of Christian philosophy from early Christian thinkers like St. Paul and St. Irenaeus to modern figures like Karl Barth and Alvin Plantinga. It discusses how early Christian philosophy was influenced by Hellenism and integrated ideas from Plato and Aristotle. Key medieval philosophers like Anselm of Canterbury and Thomas Aquinas reintroduced Aristotle and utilized reason. Modern philosophers addressed issues like the relationship between faith and reason, the nature of God, and defending Christianity against critics. Most Christian philosophers agree on core theological concepts around God, Jesus, sin, redemption, and the afterlife.
Worldviews premodern, modern, postmodern, social critical
The document discusses the evolution of worldviews from premodern to modern to postmodern. It then provides more details on premodern, modern, and postmodern worldviews. It also discusses critical theory and how it has been applied to different disciplines like social science, literary theory, and legal theory. Critical theory seeks to expose oppression and promote truth and justice. The document then gives an overview of key thinkers in critical theory like Marx, Freud, Horkheimer, and how critical theory has been applied to areas like critical race theory, critical literary theory, and critical bible hermeneutics.
Indian elite 2
The document discusses different groups within India's elite and their interactions with foreign powers. It defines various types of Indian elites that emerged from British colonial rule, including those with a "Macaulayized mind" focused on Western ideas and those who are "deracinated" from Indian culture. It also examines the spread of modernist and positivist thinking among elites. The document notes that before 1998, the US primarily engaged with internationalist and left-leaning Indian groups, but afterward began interacting more with traditional Indian groups to discuss India's role in relation to Pakistan, China, and the world. Diagrams show the connections between Indian elites and external powers like the West, Islamic nations, and China.
5. English Civil War Beginnings
The English Civil War began due to conflicts between King Charles I and Parliament over issues of money, religion, and their respective powers. Charles dissolved Parliament when they refused to raise taxes for his wars and violated the Petition of Rights, which limited his power. Tensions increased as Charles offended Puritans and tried to forcibly implement the Anglican prayer book. This led to the outbreak of the Civil War between the Royalist Cavaliers and the Parliamentarian Roundheads led by Oliver Cromwell. Cromwell defeated Charles, had him tried and executed, then ruled England as a military dictator until his death.
2. World War I The Battle
The document summarizes key events leading up to and during World War I, including factors that enabled large-scale industrialized warfare like railroads, Germany's Schlieffen Plan to quickly defeat France before facing Russia, how the invasion of Belgium drew Britain into the war, and the turning point Battle of the Marne where French forces pushed back the Germans. It also discusses new tactics of trench warfare on the Western Front and Germany's failed blockade strategy against Britain using submarines, which eventually led to US entry into the war in 1917.
1. The Spanish Empire And The Reformation
The document summarizes the rise and decline of Spanish power during the 16th and 17th centuries. It describes how Spain's wealth from American colonies allowed it to fund large armies and support a golden age of arts under King Philip II. However, this influx of silver led to economic problems like inflation. Conflicts with the Dutch over religion and taxes, as well as the defeat of the Spanish Armada against England, marked the beginning of Spain's decline as a dominant world power. The northern provinces of the Netherlands gained independence from Catholic Spain after the Protestant Dutch flooded their lands and established a tolerant and prosperous republic.
4. The Industrial Revolution
The Industrial Revolution began in England and Western Europe due to several key factors coming together:
1) Population growth from improved food supplies and earlier marriage led to a large workforce.
2) Agricultural advances like the potato and crop rotation increased food production.
3) Trade expansion, transportation improvements, and new inventions supported industry and specialization.

PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY! DO NOT ASSUME; READ IT.
Final Examination Project for Spring Semester, 2018
Your assignment is to review the reading and writing we have done this semester and to answer two basic questions.
1. As you look around the world today, which trends in world religion might lead toward the abuse of human rights?
2. As you look around the world today, which trends in world religion might lead toward greater respect for and improvement of universal human rights?
Another way of framing the question is to ask in world religion:
1. Who is abusing people’s human rights?
2. Who is working to stop these abuses?
Yet another way of framing the question is to ask:
1. How has religion been used in the past to abuse people’s human rights?
2. How should religion be used to improve human rights in the future?
You have a lot of flexibility in how you compose this final essay. What I am looking for is your ability to take what you have learned this semester and put it into words. I want you to tell me how and why religion gets used to limit the rights people should have, and how and why religion gets used to help people to enjoy better basic human rights.
This should take the form of a clear, well developed essay using proper rules for quotation and citation. Length should be between two and four pages double spaced.
To help compose this assignment, you should read the following text which was circulated earlier in the semester.
Supernatural vs. Natural Ways of Thinking
(See Chapter 1 in your Book)
The two key concepts we will discuss here are Rationalism and Supernaturalism. First though, let’s review a little bit of what we said earlier about the connection between religion and culture. We want to keep this connection in mind the whole time we study world religions.
Each religion has physical/cultural exterior and a metaphysical/spiritual interior. If you visit a church, mosque, synagogue or temple, you will find that most of the people spend most of their time and effort dealing with the physical/cultural exterior, or the surface of whatever is going on. There will always be some people who will wish to explore and experience their religion on a deeper level. These are the folks who will participate in more of the special events that are held. These are the people who are looking to grow in faith and to delve deeper into the spiritual interior of their beliefs. Often these are the people who wish to challenge the status quo and to reach out to people who would be traditionally excluded from their culture group. One of the funny things about organized religion is that the spiritual interior of the faith often teaches us to let go of our attachments to the cultural exterior. This is why prophets are seldom welcome among their own people. (See Mark 6:4) Prophets call people to let go of their attachments to the cultural status quo and so they usually get in trouble with the authoritie ...
Why Religion: Worldviews
Humans have an innate desire to understand the world and find meaning that extends beyond everyday life. This has led them to explore both scientific and religious explanations for existence. While science seeks truth through empirical evidence and reason, religion attempts to answer deeper spiritual questions through faith, stories, and sacred texts. In modern times, science and secular rationalism have grown in influence while religion has declined, with many societies becoming more secular. However, religious belief still takes various forms from theism to agnosticism to atheism, and people hold different views about God and the divine.
Christian-Community-Development-the-Social-Justice-Tradition.pptx
This document provides an overview of a course on Christian community development and social justice traditions. The course aims to help students articulate principles of Christian community development, reflect on complex issues around relocation, racism and redistribution, conduct community assessments, and compare different social justice traditions. It discusses using a systems perspective to understand wholistic ministry and addresses injustice at various levels. The document emphasizes avoiding an academic comparative approach and instead focusing on deepening understanding of one's primary tradition while also applying Christian community development principles more broadly and finding value in other traditions.

Judaism
Children of the Cool,
There are a couple of topics worth discussing with regard to Judaism.
The first is testimonial. Do you know people who are anti-Semitic? Is it a "thing" in your own family or other circles? Maybe your church has a specific view of the role of the Jews in the end-times; maybe you've heard conspiracy theories. Or maybe not.
Second, reflect if you will on the concept of there being a "chosen people." Does this seem reasonable or likely to you, as a way God (if there is a god) would go about things? (The philosopher Bertrand Russell once said "How odd / of God / to choose / the Jews." He was an atheist.
Third, Jews have long had what many of us have only acquired in the past few decades: an absolute obsession with figuring out our identity. Put your own identity in dialogue with the debates Jews have about it: is
your
identity religious? political? ethnic or racial? cultural? Who or what do you identify as? That is, distinguish what happens to be true of you, from what makes you be you. You *are* a Muslim; you happen to be from Alabama. You *are* pro-life, you happen to be African-American. You get the i dea.

Hinduism
All
I never know how much wind-shear it will be for students to first encounter Hinduism. The "Californication" of south and east Asian religions, whereby they all get the juicy bits picked over and Vitamixed together into a New Age spirituality, makes it hard to understand what these religions are in themselves, apart from our Western appropriation of them.
Let's talk about a couple of things.
x) Every religion seems to have morally-awkward things about especially its history, yet religions have been and arguably still are the major channels for teaching morals and for bringing them up in public, especially in political contexts. So Muhammad fought, Christianity persecuted heretics and Jews violently; Yahweh seems to endorse ethnic cleansing in the oldest parts of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. Hinduism says you deserve the horrors of your life: poverty, abuse, discrimination, etc. Given all of this--and I'm not saying atheism raises fewer problems, I'm just setting it aside for the moment--how do you think about Hinduism's understanding of karma? If we *don't* get everything we deserve, how can the universe be just? If it's not, what's the point of being moral? On the other hand, if we do, how would it make you feel, thinking about the circumstances of your own life, to realize that your own past actions set you up for the life you have had so far?
x) Americans can't stay on a diet for two weeks. Is there a positive message about communal discipline and self-discipline that Hinduism could direct towards American society? What stands out to you?
3)
Buddhism
Buddhism is both the most intellectually-challenging of the major world religions, and one with a strongly-appealing spiritual practice.
x) Both Shankara's jnana-marga Hindu idea that I am a part of G.
Cultural callings 3
This document discusses the relationship between grace and nature, and presents five perspectives on whether Christians should attend questionable entertainment events. It also addresses the clash between the biblical story and the modern Western story in views of education. Key questions are raised about the purpose of education and subverting idolatries in the classroom from a Christian perspective. Responsibility for education is discussed, and three models of schooling are presented.
CMV-101 Topic 1 Week 2 -Types of Worldviews
Paul went to the Jewish synagogue in Thessalonica over three Sabbath days. He reasoned with them from scripture, explaining that the Messiah was prophesied to suffer and rise from the dead. Paul proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. Some Jews and devout Greeks were persuaded and joined Paul, as did many leading women. Paul explained Jesus in a way that was relatable to their culture and terms, using reason and proof from scripture. Some believed, some questioned, and some rejected.
INT-525 topic 3
The document discusses models of cultural and religious transformation. It describes culture as layers like a river, with worldviews forming the deepest layer. Models of identity transformation include Erikson's stages of identity and Marcia's identity statuses. Models of religious conversion include Rambo's stages of conversion. When the gospel transforms a society, it can create new cultural artifacts and change deeper layers like values, beliefs, and worldviews over time according to the model of culture making. Transformation involves changes to individual and collective identity.
Intro unit power point
Gandhi believed that all religions contain both truth and error, and that the goal of religious followers should not be to convert others but rather to improve themselves and their own faith. He felt Hindus should strive to be better Hindus, Muslims better Muslims, and Christians better Christians.
WEEK 1 IWRBS PPT.pptx
This document provides an introduction to world religions and belief systems. It begins with a pretest to assess the reader's understanding. It then defines key terms like worldview, belief system, religion, spirituality, and theology. It discusses how worldviews are shaped by religions and describes some major belief systems like monism, monotheism, atheism, polytheism, and theism. The document also explores the relationship between religion and geography, noting how many major faiths originated in Asia and were then spread by geographical factors. It provides examples of sacred places in different religious traditions and discusses the interplay between culture and religion.
Introduction+ Syllabus Point 1 (Animism Etc)
This document provides an introduction to a unit on religion and non-religion. It outlines the relevant syllabus points students need to be familiar with, including different expressions of religion throughout history such as animism, polytheism, and monotheism. Students are instructed to recap core beliefs, texts, rituals, and ethics of different world religions. Key definitions are also provided for animism, polytheism, and monotheism. Activities are suggested for students to research examples and describe hypothetical societies based on these expressions of religion.

THE BASIC QUESTION
SCIENCE OR RELIGION, OR SCIENCE
AND RELIGION?
THE DEBATE THAT NO ONE CAN AVOID
It is hard to imagine any institutions in human culture and exis-
tence today with deeper roots than religion and science. Reli-
gion is so basic to human history that the human species has
been called homo religiosus, the religious animal. Indeed, some
scholars even connect the origins of our species, Homo sapiens
sapiens, to the first archeological signs of religious rituals and
practices. A huge proportion of the world’s population today is
identified with at least one of the major religious traditions of
the world.
It is equally impossible to imagine humanity without science.
By 1900, about three centuries after the dawn of modern science,
it was clear that this new means of studying the natural world
and organizing our beliefs about it was transforming humanity
more than perhaps any other development in the history of our
species. By the end of World War II, when much of Europe had
been reduced to rubble and Hiroshima to an atomic fall-out
zone, science had changed the face of the planet forever. Today
there is virtually no aspect of human existence that does not
depend in some way upon scientific results and technological

inventions. From immunizations to heart surgery, from fertilizer
to genetically modified crops, from our cell phones to our com-
puters, from roads to airplanes, from the bananas on our table
to our ‘cash’ in the bank, existence without science has become
inconceivable.
As we will see in the following pages, the impact of science
is not only limited to its products. The scientific mindset has
transformed humanity’s views of what knowledge is, how it is
obtained, and how knowledge claims are evaluated. Even people
whose central moral and religious beliefs are not determined by
science are still impacted by the growth of science, since others
will judge their knowledge claims in light of their agreement
with or divergence from scientific results.
Science and religion: compatibility or conflict? Should we
talk about ‘science and religion,’ or should it be ‘science versus
religion’? By the time you finish this book, you will have a good
sense of the whole range of answers that have been given to this
question and the best arguments that are being made on both
sides. This should give you enough information to make up your
own mind and to defend your own positions in each of the
major areas of the debate.
Certainly the dominant message in our culture today is that
science and religion stand in deep tension. Nowhere is this mes-
sage clearer than in the debate between naturalism and theism.
Naturalism is the view that .
Critical thinking and Multimodal Literacy
Critical thinking involves analyzing one's own thinking and using theories to improve it. It has three dimensions - being analytic, evaluative, and creative. Developing critical thinking skills involves overcoming bad habits and applying standards of clear, accurate, precise thinking. Critical thinking ability is influenced by various personal and social factors. People progress through four stages as critical thinkers - from unreflective to practicing critical analysis.

Why we Study Humanities
We study humanities for many reasons. Some of them might be to learn from our mistakes, realize we are part of a great thing, get ready for the important questions, propose alternatives to the challenges we face, and become the high-level professional we want to be.
As we move further in this course, you will see that we have made many mistakes. We fought many wars that could have been avoided if we had thought about our conflicts further. The more we value and appreciate our humanity, the less likely we will hurt each other.
We have also hurt the environment. We are just realizing recently that we are part of the environment and that everything we do to it will haunt us back. We are now "thinking green" and trying to slow down the damage we caused to the planet. Hopefully, we still have a chance.
We formed ways of living that sometimes were not just. As we look at ourselves, we realize we need to improve our methods of organizing in societies, in the ways we worship, and in the ways we govern.
But we should also study humanities to see how we are part of a great thing. We are seekers and explorers. We won't stand in front of a mystery without trying to conquer it. We have created science, medicine, art, philosophy, literature. Many of these creations have turned our lives around. Humans can abstract to create and imagine pushing the boundaries constantly by asking brave questions. We are also good.
At the speed we are going, there is a need for most of us to engage in high-level thinking. Progress is good if most people's lives improve with it. Are we heading in that direction? Humanities allow us to explore that question. As we face those questions, we might come up with answers that will help us avoid falling back into solving our problems through force and violence. We might prevent a new war.
The environments in which we find ourselves as time passes are different. Development and change occur as we live. The challenges we have today might be others tomorrow. But the constant element is us, the human element.
First Humans
You and I have been on earth in this shape and form (homo sapiens sapiens) for 200,000 to 150,000 years. When you look at the time the planet has been in existence, which is around 4 billion years, we just showed up. We must look at our development as humans keeping in mind that everything around us – plants, other animals, and even the environment – has been evo.
Colonial Growing Pains

This document provides an overview of a course on Christian community development and social justice traditions. The course aims to help students articulate principles of Christian community development, reflect on complex issues around relocation, racism and redistribution, conduct community assessments, and compare different social justice traditions. It discusses using a systems perspective to understand wholistic ministry and addresses injustice at various levels. The document emphasizes avoiding an academic comparative approach and instead focusing on deepening understanding of one's primary tradition while also applying Christian community development principles more broadly and finding value in other traditions.

Judaism
Children of the Cool,
There are a couple of topics worth discussing with regard to Judaism.
The first is testimonial. Do you know people who are anti-Semitic? Is it a "thing" in your own family or other circles? Maybe your church has a specific view of the role of the Jews in the end-times; maybe you've heard conspiracy theories. Or maybe not.
Second, reflect if you will on the concept of there being a "chosen people." Does this seem reasonable or likely to you, as a way God (if there is a god) would go about things? (The philosopher Bertrand Russell once said "How odd / of God / to choose / the Jews." He was an atheist.
Third, Jews have long had what many of us have only acquired in the past few decades: an absolute obsession with figuring out our identity. Put your own identity in dialogue with the debates Jews have about it: is
your
identity religious? political? ethnic or racial? cultural? Who or what do you identify as? That is, distinguish what happens to be true of you, from what makes you be you. You *are* a Muslim; you happen to be from Alabama. You *are* pro-life, you happen to be African-American. You get the i dea.
Dr. Curtis-Thames

Hinduism
All
I never know how much wind-shear it will be for students to first encounter Hinduism. The "Californication" of south and east Asian religions, whereby they all get the juicy bits picked over and Vitamixed together into a New Age spirituality, makes it hard to understand what these religions are in themselves, apart from our Western appropriation of them.
Let's talk about a couple of things.
x) Every religion seems to have morally-awkward things about especially its history, yet religions have been and arguably still are the major channels for teaching morals and for bringing them up in public, especially in political contexts. So Muhammad fought, Christianity persecuted heretics and Jews violently; Yahweh seems to endorse ethnic cleansing in the oldest parts of the Hebrew Bible / Old Testament. Hinduism says you deserve the horrors of your life: poverty, abuse, discrimination, etc. Given all of this--and I'm not saying atheism raises fewer problems, I'm just setting it aside for the moment--how do you think about Hinduism's understanding of karma? If we *don't* get everything we deserve, how can the universe be just? If it's not, what's the point of being moral? On the other hand, if we do, how would it make you feel, thinking about the circumstances of your own life, to realize that your own past actions set you up for the life you have had so far?
x) Americans can't stay on a diet for two weeks. Is there a positive message about communal discipline and self-discipline that Hinduism could direct towards American society? What stands out to you?
3)
Buddhism
Buddhism is both the most intellectually-challenging of the major world religions, and one with a strongly-appealing spiritual practice.
x) Both Shankara's jnana-marga Hindu idea that I am a part of G.
Cultural callings 3
This document discusses the relationship between grace and nature, and presents five perspectives on whether Christians should attend questionable entertainment events. It also addresses the clash between the biblical story and the modern Western story in views of education. Key questions are raised about the purpose of education and subverting idolatries in the classroom from a Christian perspective. Responsibility for education is discussed, and three models of schooling are presented.
CMV-101 Topic 1 Week 2 -Types of Worldviews
Paul went to the Jewish synagogue in Thessalonica over three Sabbath days. He reasoned with them from scripture, explaining that the Messiah was prophesied to suffer and rise from the dead. Paul proclaimed that Jesus was the Messiah. Some Jews and devout Greeks were persuaded and joined Paul, as did many leading women. Paul explained Jesus in a way that was relatable to their culture and terms, using reason and proof from scripture. Some believed, some questioned, and some rejected.
INT-525 topic 3
The document discusses models of cultural and religious transformation. It describes culture as layers like a river, with worldviews forming the deepest layer. Models of identity transformation include Erikson's stages of identity and Marcia's identity statuses. Models of religious conversion include Rambo's stages of conversion. When the gospel transforms a society, it can create new cultural artifacts and change deeper layers like values, beliefs, and worldviews over time according to the model of culture making. Transformation involves changes to individual and collective identity.
Intro unit power point
Gandhi believed that all religions contain both truth and error, and that the goal of religious followers should not be to convert others but rather to improve themselves and their own faith. He felt Hindus should strive to be better Hindus, Muslims better Muslims, and Christians better Christians.
WEEK 1 IWRBS PPT.pptx
This document provides an introduction to world religions and belief systems. It begins with a pretest to assess the reader's understanding. It then defines key terms like worldview, belief system, religion, spirituality, and theology. It discusses how worldviews are shaped by religions and describes some major belief systems like monism, monotheism, atheism, polytheism, and theism. The document also explores the relationship between religion and geography, noting how many major faiths originated in Asia and were then spread by geographical factors. It provides examples of sacred places in different religious traditions and discusses the interplay between culture and religion.
Introduction+ Syllabus Point 1 (Animism Etc)
This document provides an introduction to a unit on religion and non-religion. It outlines the relevant syllabus points students need to be familiar with, including different expressions of religion throughout history such as animism, polytheism, and monotheism. Students are instructed to recap core beliefs, texts, rituals, and ethics of different world religions. Key definitions are also provided for animism, polytheism, and monotheism. Activities are suggested for students to research examples and describe hypothetical societies based on these expressions of religion.

THE BASIC QUESTION
SCIENCE OR RELIGION, OR SCIENCE
AND RELIGION?
THE DEBATE THAT NO ONE CAN AVOID
It is hard to imagine any institutions in human culture and exis-
tence today with deeper roots than religion and science. Reli-
gion is so basic to human history that the human species has
been called homo religiosus, the religious animal. Indeed, some
scholars even connect the origins of our species, Homo sapiens
sapiens, to the first archeological signs of religious rituals and
practices. A huge proportion of the world’s population today is
identified with at least one of the major religious traditions of
the world.
It is equally impossible to imagine humanity without science.
By 1900, about three centuries after the dawn of modern science,
it was clear that this new means of studying the natural world
and organizing our beliefs about it was transforming humanity
more than perhaps any other development in the history of our
species. By the end of World War II, when much of Europe had
been reduced to rubble and Hiroshima to an atomic fall-out
zone, science had changed the face of the planet forever. Today
there is virtually no aspect of human existence that does not
depend in some way upon scientific results and technological

inventions. From immunizations to heart surgery, from fertilizer
to genetically modified crops, from our cell phones to our com-
puters, from roads to airplanes, from the bananas on our table
to our ‘cash’ in the bank, existence without science has become
inconceivable.
As we will see in the following pages, the impact of science
is not only limited to its products. The scientific mindset has
transformed humanity’s views of what knowledge is, how it is
obtained, and how knowledge claims are evaluated. Even people
whose central moral and religious beliefs are not determined by
science are still impacted by the growth of science, since others
will judge their knowledge claims in light of their agreement
with or divergence from scientific results.
Science and religion: compatibility or conflict? Should we
talk about ‘science and religion,’ or should it be ‘science versus
religion’? By the time you finish this book, you will have a good
sense of the whole range of answers that have been given to this
question and the best arguments that are being made on both
sides. This should give you enough information to make up your
own mind and to defend your own positions in each of the
major areas of the debate.
Certainly the dominant message in our culture today is that
science and religion stand in deep tension. Nowhere is this mes-
sage clearer than in the debate between naturalism and theism.
Naturalism is the view that .
Critical thinking and Multimodal Literacy
Critical thinking involves analyzing one's own thinking and using theories to improve it. It has three dimensions - being analytic, evaluative, and creative. Developing critical thinking skills involves overcoming bad habits and applying standards of clear, accurate, precise thinking. Critical thinking ability is influenced by various personal and social factors. People progress through four stages as critical thinkers - from unreflective to practicing critical analysis.

Why we Study Humanities
We study humanities for many reasons. Some of them might be to learn from our mistakes, realize we are part of a great thing, get ready for the important questions, propose alternatives to the challenges we face, and become the high-level professional we want to be.
As we move further in this course, you will see that we have made many mistakes. We fought many wars that could have been avoided if we had thought about our conflicts further. The more we value and appreciate our humanity, the less likely we will hurt each other.
We have also hurt the environment. We are just realizing recently that we are part of the environment and that everything we do to it will haunt us back. We are now "thinking green" and trying to slow down the damage we caused to the planet. Hopefully, we still have a chance.
We formed ways of living that sometimes were not just. As we look at ourselves, we realize we need to improve our methods of organizing in societies, in the ways we worship, and in the ways we govern.
But we should also study humanities to see how we are part of a great thing. We are seekers and explorers. We won't stand in front of a mystery without trying to conquer it. We have created science, medicine, art, philosophy, literature. Many of these creations have turned our lives around. Humans can abstract to create and imagine pushing the boundaries constantly by asking brave questions. We are also good.
At the speed we are going, there is a need for most of us to engage in high-level thinking. Progress is good if most people's lives improve with it. Are we heading in that direction? Humanities allow us to explore that question. As we face those questions, we might come up with answers that will help us avoid falling back into solving our problems through force and violence. We might prevent a new war.
The environments in which we find ourselves as time passes are different. Development and change occur as we live. The challenges we have today might be others tomorrow. But the constant element is us, the human element.
First Humans
You and I have been on earth in this shape and form (homo sapiens sapiens) for 200,000 to 150,000 years. When you look at the time the planet has been in existence, which is around 4 billion years, we just showed up. We must look at our development as humans keeping in mind that everything around us – plants, other animals, and even the environment – has been evo.

Colonial Growing Pains
The document discusses decolonization in several regions following World War II, including India, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. It summarizes the independence of India from Britain and the subsequent partition into India and Pakistan, causing mass violence between Hindus and Muslims. It also discusses the independence of other nations like the Philippines and Ghana from colonial rule, and the struggles some faced with authoritarian leaders and coups in the post-colonial period.

Korean and Vietnam War
The Korean War began in 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea, testing Truman's policy of containment against the spread of communism. The United Nations authorized troops to defend South Korea led by General MacArthur. MacArthur's surprise attack at Inchon was a turning point that forced North Korean retreat. However, China later entered the war on North Korea's side, pushing UN forces back until a ceasefire in 1953 left the border along the 38th parallel. The Vietnam War began as resistance to French colonial rule, with the US backing France until their defeat in 1954. This divided Vietnam along the 17th parallel, with communist North Vietnam led by Ho Chi Minh and US-backed South Vietnam led by Diem. However, the
Einstein And Relativity
The document discusses Einstein and his theory of relativity, including his famous equation E=mc^2, how his work changed our understanding of light, time, and space. It explains key aspects of relativity like the twin paradox scenario and an atomic clock experiment testing Einstein's theory. Relativity revolutionized physics and challenged traditional philosophical assumptions about the nature of reality.
Brrrrrrrrr…
The document discusses the expansion of Soviet control in Eastern Europe following World War 2 and the policies put in place by the United States to contain the spread of Soviet influence. It describes how Stalin broke agreements on allowing free elections in conquered countries and instead installed communist governments. In response, Truman announced the Truman Doctrine to provide aid to Turkey and Greece to block Soviet expansion. This was followed by the Marshall Plan, which provided billions in aid to help rebuild European economies and infrastructure devastated by war to prevent the spread of communist ideology.
The World After The Cold War
The document provides background information on several topics related to post-World War 2 geopolitics, including the formation of Israel, Palestinian statehood, and ongoing conflicts between Israel and its Arab neighbors. It discusses the British mandate over Palestine after WWI, the UN partition plan that created Israel in 1948, and subsequent wars like the Six Day War of 1967 and Yom Kippur War of 1973. It also outlines diplomatic efforts like the Camp David Accords and Oslo Accords that sought peace agreements.
Communism And Conflict
1) The document discusses the origins and escalation of tensions between the US/Western allies and the Soviet Union following World War II, including the Berlin Blockade and Airlift and the formation of opposing military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact.
2) It also covers the development of nuclear weapons by both sides and the beginning of a dangerous arms race, as well as conflicts in areas like China and Korea as the Cold War spread globally.
3) Events in China are discussed in depth, including Mao Zedong's rise to power amid civil war, his radical reforms based on Marxism, and later disastrous social campaigns like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution.

The Marshall Plan was also introduced to help rebuild European economies devastated by war and reduce their vulnerability to Soviet influence or control.
Pacific Theatre Ends
The document summarizes key events in World War 2 between Japan and the Allies in the Pacific theater from 1941 to 1945. It describes Japan's initial successes by taking territories like Guam, Wake Island, and the Philippines. It then outlines major battles like Coral Sea, Midway, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa as the Allies began to push back against Japan. It discusses the Manhattan Project and the ultimate decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, which led to Japan's surrender and ended the war.
Eastern Front and the Pacific
I apologize, upon reviewing the document I do not feel comfortable making a judgment on whether Truman made the right decision or not regarding the use of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are reasonable arguments on both sides of this complex issue.
The Holocaust
The document discusses Hitler's racist ideology and the Nazi persecution and genocide of Jews and other groups during the Holocaust. It describes how Hitler claimed the Aryan race was superior and blamed Jews for Germany's problems. The Nazis stripped Jews of rights and attacked Jewish homes and synagogues. They also implemented eugenics policies like sterilization and killing disabled people. Eventually, Hitler decided to exterminate Jews entirely through concentration camps, death camps, gas chambers, and firing squads, resulting in over 6 million Jewish deaths.
Hitler And The Blitzkrieg
1) In September 1939, Germany invaded Poland using blitzkrieg tactics of air strikes and fast-moving tanks, capturing the country within weeks.
2) The Soviet Union then annexed parts of eastern Poland and the Baltic states of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia. Finland resisted but was eventually forced to surrender after being outnumbered.
3) In 1940, Germany launched surprise attacks on Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France, quickly defeating them and surrounding the Allied forces in Dunkirk, from which 338,000 British and French troops were evacuated by sea.
Fascism, Nazism, And Instability Honors
1) Fascist leaders in Germany, Italy, and Japan took advantage of economic struggles following WWI and the Great Depression to consolidate power.
2) Germany began remilitarizing in violation of Treaty of Versailles while Italy invaded Ethiopia, facing little opposition.
3) Germany and Italy supported Franco in the Spanish Civil War, gaining military experience. By forming the Axis alliance they were able to expand their influence and aggression with little resistance from other European powers focused on appeasement over conflict.
Fascism, Nazism, And Instability
The document discusses the rise of fascism in Italy, Germany, and Japan in the aftermath of World War 1 and the Great Depression. It describes how fascist leaders like Mussolini and Hitler seized power legally by gaining control of the military and using propaganda. It then outlines the early acts of aggression by these regimes, including Japan invading Manchuria and Mussolini invading Ethiopia, which were met with weak responses by the League of Nations. It explains how Hitler remilitarized the Rhineland in violation of the Treaty of Versailles but faced little opposition. Finally, it suggests that the Western democracies failed to halt this growing aggression due to war weariness after WWI, focusing on domestic problems
Existentialism
The document discusses Einstein and his theory of relativity. It explains that Einstein realized that concepts like time and space are relative to one's frame of reference based on their position and motion. It also discusses how Einstein's theory changed our understanding of light and physics. The document then discusses existentialism and how existentialist philosophers believe that individuals must define meaning and truth for themselves rather than conforming to external standards.
4. The Middle East
The document summarizes the history of the modern Middle East from World War I to present day. It discusses how the Ottoman Empire sided with Germany in WWI and the rise of nationalism in the region. After the war, Britain and France made secret agreements like the Sykes-Picot Treaty to divide former Ottoman lands, while also making conflicting promises to Arab leaders. New nation-states were formed under the League of Nations mandate system, with ongoing tensions around borders and independence. Conflict over Israel/Palestine has been a long-term issue, and the region has experienced various regime changes and instability in places like Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
3. Eastern Front And The Treaty Of Versailles
The document discusses several key events and issues along the Eastern Front during World War 1. It summarizes that Russia initially did well against Austria and Germany but began facing issues with lack of industrialization, supplies, and Germany blockading their access to the sea. Several major battles are mentioned, including the Battle of Tannenberg where Germany inflicted heavy losses on Russia. The document also outlines how the war spread to involve more countries and territories beyond Europe. It closes by summarizing the Allied victory as America joined the war with fresh troops, forcing Germany and its allies to surrender in late 1918.
1. World War I Beginings
- World War 1 began due to a series of alliances that drew the major European powers into conflict. These alliances included the Triple Alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy versus the Triple Entente of Britain, France, and Russia.
- Rising ethnic tensions in the Balkans, coupled with the decline of the Ottoman Empire, led to conflicts over territory that pitted the alliance systems against one another. The assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by a Serbian nationalist group provided the spark that ignited the broader war.
- Austria delivered an ultimatum to Serbia after the assassination. When Serbia did not fully comply, Austria declared war, drawing in Russia as Serbia
5. Latin America And Imperialism
The document discusses Latin America's history with imperialism from Europe, particularly how railroads connected interior regions to global markets but made countries reliant on foreign capital and technology. It also examines how imperialism forced Latin American economies to focus on primary sectors like raw material extraction, hindering independent development and benefiting industrialized powers.
4. Imperialism In Asia
The document discusses European imperialism in Asia between the 18th-19th centuries. It describes how Russia expanded by conquering nomadic tribes on the steppes after acquiring firearms. Western powers then colonized Southeast Asia for its fertile land and valuable crops. Siam (modern Thailand) maintained independence by playing off rival European powers. Britain took control of India through the East India Company and faced rebellions from Indian soldiers and nationalism. Direct British rule was established after 1857 to prevent future uprisings.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375
