...During the Renaissance and more specifically the 15th century in Europe, Johannes Gutenberg invented the printing press. The most important consequences of this invention are the increased production of books, the spread of knowledge, and the spread of a new religion. By changing the method for reproduction of books from handwriting to printing, the printing press created a better way of copying books. By comparing an advertisement about copying texts from the15th century and a woodcut that shows copying in the 16th century, it can be observed that the method for book reproduction is much faster and much easier.(doc #1) Being fast and easy, the printing method also became very cheap. The printing press created a more efficient way of reproducing books than the ones people used before that. By making the reproduction of books so much better, the printing press created a positive feedback loop that allowed more and more people to copy books. When maps that show the locations of the printing press in 1471 and 1500 are...

Inca’s religion could say was more peaceful religion where the Aztec was more violent. The reason for human sacrifice was they believed...

...no specific founder or theology. * The earliest product of Indian literature, the Rig Veda, contains the songs of the Aryan invaders who were beginning to make a home in India. Thus, Hinduism is commonly regarded as the offspring of an Aryan religion, brought into India by invaders from the north and modified by contact with Dravidian civilization. (Elliot, 1921) * The literature of Vedic Aryans is relatively ancient and full and there is no available information about old Dravidians comparable with it. Yet, some argue that it is more correct to describe Indian religion as Dravidian religion modified by the ideas of the Aryan invaders. * This is accentuated by the fact that major deities of Hinduism (Siva, Krishna, Rama, Durga), and some of its core doctrines, are either totally unknown to the Veda or obscurely indicated in it. * The chief characteristics of mature Indian religion are characteristics of an area, not of a race, and they differ from those of other ancient religions in Persia, Greece, Egypt or other Aryan lands. (Mamandram.Org, 2011) * The word “Hindu” is an incorrect term given to a follower of the Vedas. The true name of the religion is “Sanatana Dharma”, meaning “the eternal religion”. * Ancient Arabians gave rise to the term as they were referring to the followers who lived along the Sindhu River. The Arabians called this river as Indus River because they were unable to pronounce the S-sound. Thus, the people that lived along...

...Expansion in the Premodern Era, AD 30 – 1500 The beginnings of Christianity had mixed reactions from the ancient world. At the very start, due to it's similarities with Judaism, most opposition came from the Jews who were against the teachings of Christ and his disciples. The Gospel spread into foreign places as a fulfillment of Christ's command to go unto all nations, but along with this came even more hostile persecution. Believers often met in secret, or ran to countries to escape the brutal suffering in their cities. Yet, because of their suffering, Christianity grew stronger and people became bolder in their pursuit of God. As time moved long Christianity started to become more recognized and certain nations and countries were making...

...Biological Old Regime, considered to be 1000-1500’s, the world consisted of agriculture and trading networks. The Indian Ocean especially became an important crossroads for global exchange with the majority of the wealth concentrated in Asia, particularly China and India. By examining the first global trade routes, the interactions between different groups of people, and the importance of China’s role in the global economy we will be able to see the first origins of the modern globalized world we know today. During the 1000- 1500’s Asia became the center of an extensive and systematic linkage of global trade. Interactions between multi-cultured people and diverse nations came together at many trading hubs throughout the Indian Ocean. Here India traded cotton colored textiles in exchange for food, gold, silver and other commodities. China manufactured luxurious goods, in particular silk, which became similar to a standard currency in trade and in return sought out preciosities, silver, raw materials and horses. Slaves were also a large market but were not depicted through race they were used as domestic servants to the wealthy and as labor in Africa and surrounding nations. Slaves were seen as permanent children to their owners and never provided with degrading work (Marks, 57). During 650- 1000 Arabian people carried goods, ideas and spread their language and religion throughout Asia, East Africa and Indonesia (Marks, 45). By 1000-1500’s Islam had spread significantly around...

...The Positive and Negative Effects of Religion During the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries By Frank Taranto, Jr. & Glenn Machado HSS 212-003 Dr. Priscilla Oguine October 17, 2002 The undeniable power, force, and influence of religion stand out throughout history. However, according to J. Michael Allen and James B. Allen in World History from 1500, in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, religion was exceptionally important, because it had a great influence on everything from government to social order and family relationships (16). Hundreds of years may separate these two time periods and the modern world, but the same positive effects of religion such as unity, security, and a social order are still basic ideals in today’s world. This is also true for the negative effects such as the conflicts that result in war and bloodshed, the separation of social classes, and the corruption throughout the church, especially the recent sex scandal in the Catholic church. In order to appreciate the impacts of religion during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries the positive and negative effects of this era must be understood. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, religion gave people a sense of belonging. Belonging to a church was important during this time because it gave people a sense of security and support. This was important because it made it much easier to deal with everyday problems and issues. For instance, diseases and death were...

...Medieval and Renaissance literature were influenced by two completely different eras in human history. During the Middle Ages, (A.D. 1066- 1500) the toils of daily life affected the mindset of those at this time. As a result, these ideas found its way into the making of Medieval literature. However, after the great rediscovery of the classical civilizations during A.D. 1500- 1660, men began creating what is now looked upon as Renaissance literature. Though they are both forms of writing, their history as a part of society greatly differed from contrasting philosophies of life, leading to two different personalities. Medieval Literature During the Middle Ages, a great emphasis was placed on the blend of fantasy and reality. Though characters were given human characteristics, their personalities transcended to those of fictitious figures (God, Saints, and revered leaders). Additionally, these stories incorporated the codes of romance and honor, reliving the ideals of chivalry in writing. Furthermore, there was a religious overtone hidden in these works. Because only monks could hand- copy these manuscripts in monasteries, only a few were made available to the rich and noble. As for the peasants, the only way to pass down these stories from generation to generation was by words of mouth. Renaissance Literature In contrast to the religion- driven aspects of literature found during Medieval times, Renaissance thinkers reverted back to...
