Chapter 21,22,23,

This week reading was interesting learning about the war and how the Europeans believed the war would be done soon yet it took about four years before ending in German. It was interesting to read how the war brought the Europeans and Americans social and cultural change. The returning veterans had a hard time turning into civilians again for they had experience horrible things. It was interesting to read how the government tried to accommodate them. I feel this is still very common many people who go to war have a hard time adapting I think psychologically they will never be the same. Everyone has a story and that reflects what they saw and what they felt being away from such a long time in war. It was interesting to read how the war really change the way things were once. It took a huge transformation in politics as well. During the world war 2 the war really had a global conflict with the independent origins with Asia and Europe. The second war was the most destructive conflict in world history. So many people were killed Staryer states that around 60 million people were dead. I really enjoyed reading about the global communism and how modern communism found its political and philosophical roots. Through the teachings of Karl Marx Its interesting to read about Karl Marx again I took a sociological theory class and I read a lot about him its crazy to read about the people who defined themselves as communist and were more about revolutions. And how one third of the world’s population lived in societies governed by communist regimes. It was interesting ton read about India and its struggles for example, Strayer mentions that India had struggle for its independence in India how it was a prolonged affair for its political leadership. It was interesting to see how the British began to hand over power in a gradual way. Way before complete independence was granted in 1947.It’s shocking to see how things in the past worked and how political leadership worked. Lastly, learning about the transformation of the world economy was interesting reading how people speak of globalization as they are referring to the immense acceleration in international economic transactions that took place in the second half of the twentieth century.

1) “Hallmark Five: We Embrace the Gift Of Diversity.” In what way does Strayer’s textbook,  Ways of the World , reflect Hallmark 5 of the SND de Namur?             I believe that Strayer did embrace the gift of diversity in his book. I feel he stated what he believed and the different topics and beliefs that surface when it come to history. The book itself has a lot of information and different diverse topics. In my opinion, I think he was a very diverse writer when he wrote this particular book. He mentions a lot of different cultures and people of different time eras. Also, the photographs that he provides in the book are very diverse and have a lot of culture behind it. Although Strayer is a male he really did make the book diverse we get to see feminism in the book as well. I just think it’s a book that mentions and describes the different cultures and people that once lived. He doesn’t just focus on certain groups h...

Reading 16,17,18,19

Reading about the connections that the various Atlantic revolutionaries shared was interesting and reading that the Atlantic basin had become a world of intellectual and cultural exchange.it was interesting to see how this idea were driven from the European enlightenment and it was shared across the ocean through newspaper and books. It’s interesting to me to read this thing because I really get to see how much history has changed or how in a way it still remains the same. I really enjoyed reading the French revolution in depth and see how everything started because I remember in high school studying about it, but I didn’t really remember a lot. I found it interesting how the social conflicts gave the French Revolution a much more violent,far-reaching and radical character compare to the American who was its counterpart.it was nice to read about the gender roles, in the French revolution and how Strayer mentions that it didn’t not create a new society for female po...
