Module 4
Read the section on fascism in chapter 20 of our textbook. You do not need to read the entire chapter. Then spend 30 minutes doing self-guided research on the internet about fascism. Fascism was known as something that was said all across Europe. It was something that was known as being nationalistic, and to purify the nation. The spokesman of it all was all for violence towards enemies. With the renewing force in society, many placed their faith in a leader. Fascists also were against individualism, liberalism, feminism, parliamentary democracy, and communism because they viewed it as something that only weakened the nation. There were small fascist movements in many Western European countries, as well as France, Great Britain and the Netherlands. There were more movements that took place in places like Austria, Hungary, and Romania. In Italy, the nation had barely become unified in 1805, but was short lived due to Northern Italy eventually creating tension. Mussolini believed facism was resolutely anticommunist as well as antidemocratic. 

While reading about facsism, I was able to learn more while finding a topic that connects to the world we live in today. It talks about how our president, Donald Trump is fascist. The main points that were discussed were, hyper-nationalism, militarism, glorification of violence and readiness to use it in politics, fetishization of youth, fetishization of masculinity, leader cult, lost-golden-age syndrome, self definition by opposition, mass mobilization and mass party, hierarchical party structure and tendency to pure the disloyal, and theoretically. It basically just connects a bunch of things that have to do with fascism with Trump and goes on explaining the way the two correlate as well as with Benito. 

I think some of those things are pretty accurate based on what I’ve come across on social media as well as with the examples that the article is including. Based on the leadership we have today and with the things that have been going on that are public, it seems to be that those tendencies are indeed on the rise.

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...

Module 6 2) What was distinctive about the end of Europe’s African and Asian empires compared to other cases of imperial disintegration? Many empires like, Assyrian, Romans, Arabs, and Mongols had their empires end due to being overtaken, whereas with Europe’s African and Asian empires the end had been associated with the mobilization of masses around a nationalist ideology. Many empires had collapsed in the twentieth century. As well as the Austrian as well as the Ottoman, following the end of World War I. Following, the Russian Empire falling apart even being under the Soviet Union. Then following World War II, the fall of both the German and Japanese empires. Eventually followed the movements of the African and Asian independence with all the stories of the other empires coming to an end and the ideas of national self-determination. There was an idea that humankind was divided into certain groups of people, or by nations, which each had deserved an independent state. There was a ...

The overall topic on trading is pretty interesting. with the way it's evolved over time. From discussing about how people traveled miles and miles and miles to another place, kill the animals they had sometimes used for transportation, not really even be able to communicate due to all the different languages the people spoke, to it now being something that they have a more efficient way of travelling from place to place and being able to expand out all the places that can now do it as well and of course the many more items that are now up for trade. It seems as if there was just a huge jump in the trade concept of it all. Especially learning about how one place wants something so bad from another place because they don't have access to it where they are. I think the only reason I find it interesting because of the way we can now access pretty much anything from almost anywhere.
