In part two of Chapter 15, it went over some really important topics that really stood out. The main ones that ended up connecting were the feminist beginning and the abolition of slavery. reading up on the feminist beginnings really caught my attention. Learning about the growth they've had in many aspects. like reading about how there was finally change in the sense that women were finally able to do many things like file for divorce, or being able to manage things like property, money and their lives overall on their own without needing to depend on a man. Which was great because in reality, what women wants to have to be dependent on a and not be able to do anything without basically having to ask for permission. Women were finally able to vote and have a voice when it came to anything political which was great because of how many men were against them being involved in anything like that. Women were finally able to go to school which is very important because of the overall id...

In chapter 15, first half, the chapter of the chapter covers many important events. One of the main points was the overall concept on what eurocentrism is, which is basically the europeans believing they are elite over others. Many ideas from all places like, the french, africa, europe and more bounced many ideas off of each other that have to do with how they want their country to be. The chapter then discusses all the revolutions that had taken place. In the North American Revolution was basically breaking free from the british and becoming their own which ultimately led to the D.O.I. In the French Revolution, was a very interesting one. that one involved the development of the guillotine to basically ensure that it was getting the job done when they wanted to get rid of people. This revolution was based off the problem of how there were only 3 votes total. one for each of the estates. the problem was that since the 3rd estate was such a large population, they believed that this was ...

With my very busy school/work schedule I was not able to participate in any of the activities during the week, but while reading through the blogs of other students, it was awesome to read about the things they did to give back. Like going and packing lunches to give to others. It reminds me of what we did first semester, how we did an activity to go and give back to the community, and part of my job last summer, working with rising sophomore and doing things that ultimately give back to the community.

during the week of the Foundresses, I learned about the stories of Julie and Franciose. Learning about their stories and their journeys was very interesting since this was how the sisters of Notre Dame formed. Learning about how they came to be and the struggles they went through, it was quite an interesting story. All the things they went through, from the home struggles to the general people struggles, to having to deal with being in hiding or almost dying. Also it was interesting to look back at all the Hallmarks from NDNU since it's pretty much what notre dame in a sense follows.

After changing my topic numerous times from wanting to talk about why my grandparents moved to the US in the first place, to talk about wars in general, to looking up some background on Nicaragua and wanting to do the Nicaraguan Civil War, then finally settling on talking about Sandinista. Overall I'm pretty happy with my topic and very into it because I feel like so much happened, so many places were involved, and also effected. I feel like my sources are petty good and cover a pretty good amount of what happened especially since I didn't only focus on one side. Also, I feel like I could still connect a bit to my original idea if I can guide it in the correct direction.

1) In your own words, what was this reading about? The readings ultimately were about telling the story of these women pretty much from childhood to adulthood and of course the story of them  coming together. These stories tell the reader the way they grew up, what they had, what they experienced throughout life and pretty much explains how they ended up the women they came to be. 2) Which woman did you find most interesting and why? I found Julie's story a lot more interesting. Overall it was a lot more easy to read and get into in my opinion. I just think her story specifically is something that a lot more people could relate to with the whole, not having tons and tons of money, but enough to get by. Then, to have a family owned place robbed, a lot of people have experienced robberies of all sorts. and of course dealing with the stress of almost losing a loved one due to gun violence. It is something that we still struggle with today due to many many people using guns for...

Missing class this day allowed me to review some other blogs students wrote about chapter 15. While looking over a blog, I would say that this,  This document highlighted the faults of Christianity. During this time most people were already skeptical about corruption within the pope, clergy,  and the churches spending. For women, Protestanism didn't offer them more freedom than Christianity but within Protestanism the worshiping of female figures stopped. The invention of the printing press helped spread Reformation thinking. Violence between Christians and Protestants lasted for more than 30 years until King Henry IV put out the Edict of Nantes granting religious toleration. Another thing I learned was about conversion and adaptation is Spanish America. The Europeans believed that their military and political success was from the Christian God. The Spanish Natives agreed with the Europeans and millions got baptized. I also learned about how the Europeans approached China wit...

In chapter 15, Strayer goes over many concepts relating to religion. Going back to when I did my research paper back on Christianity last semester, it's interesting to read about the growth of it all. Reading about the transformation of Christianity and finding out all the places it had expanded out to like, from England and Spain to west Russia, some places in Egypt, Ethiopia, southern India, and central Asia. Also, learning about the protestant reformation which had ruined the unity of the Roman catholic christianity. it began when Martin Luther opened up the topic of abuse within the catholic church. Learning about the differences between the Catholics and the protestant  was interesting to read up on since it was something I was never really informed of, especially really comparing some of the things side by side. With the changes in Spanish America, it was interesting to read about how by 1700 that's when most people had converted due to being baptized. Overall including t...
