The document provides an overview of world history from approximately 8000 BCE to 1750 CE. It covers major developments in early civilizations, belief systems, technologies, and interactions between cultures during this time period. Specific topics discussed include the Neolithic Revolution, river valley civilizations, classical empires in India, China, and the Mediterranean, the major world religions of polytheism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Daoism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. It also summarizes trade networks, the spread of religions and empires, and technological innovations from the rise of agriculture to the Scientific Revolution.
In addition to the five main religions, Chinese people have some other traditional folk beliefs. More than 200 million people believe the existence of the ancestors’ souls and worship them, while about 700 million have taken part in the activities to worship their ancestors or related activities. About 150 million people believe in Fengshui theory and 140 million people believe in God of Wealth. Chinese Astrology is very popular and many people think the sign can decide one’s characters and future. Thus, it is obvious that the traditional folk belief has a wide foundation among the local people. Now, more and more Chinese people are fond of constellation in western culture. In the beginning of a new year, some people will watch some fortune telling programs to see whether they can succeed in the next year and learn how to avoid back luck.

HIST 115 Annotated Bibliography: Buddhist Influence on Ancient China
Guang, Xing. “Buddhist Impact on Chinese Culture.” Asian Philosophy 23, no. 4 (2013): 305–22. Accessed September 4, 2021. https://doi.org/10.1080/09552367.2013.831606
According to Xing Guang, Confucianism, Daoism, and Buddhism are the three major philosophical systems in Chinese traditional culture. The first two are aspects of Chinese culture, while Buddhism is an Indian religion. Despite disagreements between the three systems of thought, integration has become the norm in the evolution of Chinese cultural thought. As a result, Chinese culture has changed and developed with Confucianism at its core and Daoism and Buddhism supporting it by merging the three religions into one. Buddhism introduced new concepts and thought to China, encouraging, among other things, the development of Chinese philosophy, ethics, dialect, poetry, arts, faiths, and common belief. However, Buddhism is not a culturally confined religion. It incorporates and adapts local culture and philosophy. Arthur Wright has already compiled a historical overview of Buddhism's history in China and its four eras of cultural engagement with Chinese culture.
Buddhism, like other religions, has a liberal mindset and embraces whatever is good. Because of this mentality, The Buddha advised his lay followers to contribute to the local gods, an essential component of the culture. This method of thought has had a profound effect on Buddhists and has vast consequences for spreading Buddhism to other cultures. As a result, Whenever Buddhism has been transmitted, it has incorporated local cultures. Rather than causing conflict with them. As a result, when it arrived in China, it became Chinese Buddhism with Chinese cultural characteristics and color, as Buddhism assimilated numerous Chinese cultural aspects.

Zhou Hanguang disagrees with Joseph Needham's assessment that "overall, its influence was highly inhibiting" and believes Buddhism has made a constructive contribution and significantly impacted the development of science and technology in ancient China. Since the arrival of Buddhism in China, only Great Vehicle books and thoughts have spread widely and exerted a profound influence in large areas of the country (except minority nationalities in Southwest China). According to early Little Vehicle theory, Buddhism had a tradition that kept it separate from secular society. When such a tradition emerged and became actively involved in secular society's everyday affairs, it was criticized by ...

Chapter 8: Europe in the Early Middle Ages, 600–1000
Unit Lesson
Castles, marauders, gargoyles, illuminations—the Middle Ages inspire more movies and novels than any
other period in history. The Pillars of the Earth, Game of Thrones, Robin Hood, Vikings, The Secret of Kells,
The Name of the Rose, and even Monty Python’s The Holy Grail reflect an enduring fascination. In fiction, we
can propel ourselves into imaginary futures or steep ourselves in the past, and something about the mystery
of such a different life captures our imaginations.
This can have a downside, however, as the repetition of such familiar stories can lead us to assume that we
already understand this period and, therefore, neglect learning what really happened. Entertainment stories
have to be tested by the practice of ethical historical scholarship if the knowledge that shapes our decisions is
to be sound.
Possibly the greatest lesson to recover from the period 600–1000 C.E. is the variation in beliefs and customs
across regions and among different peoples in the West, from Gibraltar to Iceland, from Russia to Persia,

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.
