...Before we learn about the unlikely and apparently rapid rise of The West during the 19th and 20th centuries, it’s important to understand the powerful empires of the early modern world between 1500 and 1800. Some readers may be surprised to learn about the wealth, thriving global trade, and dominant manufacturing production in Asia that held sway until at least the end of the 18th century. Throughout much of this era, Europe was, in contrast to Asia, an unimpressive backwater of small countries and kingdoms. But Europe’s “discovery” of the Americas and an ocean route to Asia, just before the year 1500, changed all that. The West gradually worked its way into the global economy and planted the seeds for its imperial rise and eventual dominance over most of the modern world. After 1500, world regions—such as West Africa, East Asia, and South America—fused together into one global trade system. For the first time in history, each region of the world now interacted with the others. For example, enslaved African labor was used in South American plantations to sell cheap sugar to Europe. Silver from Mexico bought loans for Spain, and that same silver ended up in China to buy silk or porcelain for Europeans. And so on. A new global system emerged, forged of uneven relationships, in which a small part of the world, Europe, successfully exploited the world’s human and natural resources to its advantage. This was Globalization 1.0. Historians disagree on exactly when European empires began...

...Slavery. It has been here since the beginning of civilization, and still is present to this day. As contradictory as it may seem, people have been using each other as property for a very long time. This horrible invention has been applied in several different countries all over the world. Over this time span, several different kinds of slavery have been established. Slavery has made an everlasting impact on the world today. Because of slavery we now have social, man-created concepts, such as race, gender, and class. Slavery has benefitted and disadvantaged many people of this day and time. Slavery is the main reason for the dispersal of African peoples, also known as the African Diaspora. As mentioned earlier, slavery was present almost everywhere. The main areas that affected the African Diaspora were Africa itself, the New World, and the Indian Ocean. Slavery in Africa started in approximately the 7th century and it was over religious reasons. Arab Muslims and Europeans traded in West, Central, and East Africa. Slavery existed in some of Africa’s earliest organized societies. The buying and selling of slaves were regular activities in cities along the Nile River. In Africa, early slavery resulted from warring groups taking captives. The treatment of slavery in Africa was variable. Many societies recognized slaves as merely property and some saw them as dependants who eventually might be integrated into the families of slave owners, because of this slavery was...

...but few people ever give it any real though beyond that moment. However, some authors embrace the idea of sonder, even going so far as to make it the main theme of their novel. These authors include Yuri Herrera (Signs Preceding the End of the World ), Patricia Engel (The Veins of the Ocean ), Edwidge Danticat (The Dew Breaker ), and Courtney Hunt (screenwriter of Frozen River ). These stories explore the idea of sonder in two ways; they either show characters with perspectives to life that the average person never thinks about, or they show only the reader how the characters’ lives intertwine while the characters themselves remain ignorant to the idea of sonder....

...Ashkenaz descent. Although both cultures are very diverse and have separate communities, they follow the same religious guidelines and rules. However, Sephardic Jewry originated mainly from Spanish and Arab countries while Ashkenazic Jewry originated mainly from European countries and Russia. The most scholarly advanced of the Jews over the last hundred years are those of Iraqi descent which produced prestigious rabbis such as Rabbi Ovadia Yosef, Rabbi Yitzchak Kaduri and Rabbi Mordechai Eliyahu. Many of todays great Iraqi Jewish Rabbis are not just of Iraqi descent but were even born in Baghdad, Iraq. Many Regard Rabbi Ovadia Yosef as the greatest Rabbi of the last one hundred years. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef was born on September 20, 1920 in Baghdad, Iraq. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef attained his incredibly high level of knowledge through vigorous study and a top-notch education starting from a young age. As a teenager Rabbi Ovadia Yosef studied at Porat Yosef Yeshiva, which till today is considered to be the most prominent Sephardic Yeshiva for producing future rabbinic leaders. This prestigious yeshiva is located in the Old City of Jerusalem. It can be compared to a minor league farm system in baseball that produces the top prospects. Rabbi Ovadia Yosef quickly rose to the highest-level lecture taught by Syrian born Rabbi Ezra Attiah. Rav Ovadia Yosef received rabbinic ordination at the astonishingly young age of twenty. In 1947, Rabbi Ovadia Yosef went to Cairo, Egypt to serve as a judge...

...Single Malt Scotch Whiskey HADM 3500 - Spring 2015 Chris Vanderkleed History of Whisky (read best with a glass of Lagavulin 16) Whisky has a rich history and has been distilled for centuries throughout the world. It is often thought that the distilling process was brought to Scotland by Christian Missionaries, but the Highland farmers would of course dispute this and rather attribute it to their own ingenuity. The first record of distillation in Scotland occurred in 1494 as an entry in the Exchequer Rolls states, “Eight bolls of malt to Friar John Cor wherewith to make aqua vitae”. There is some debate as to whether the name “whisky” derives from “usquebaugh” or the gaelic “uisge beatha”, both meaning “water of life”, much like Latin’s “aqua vitae”. The Scottish government first capitalized on the popularity of whisky in 1644, imposing their first tax on spirits. This was obviously not well received and many distilleries resorted to illegal production and a black market of sorts was formed. It was not until 1824 when the first legal distilling license was given to George Smith who would go on to found the Glenlivet. What is Whisky? A whisky, by definition, is an alcoholic beverage distilled from fermented grain mash. This grain mash can be rye, corn, wheat, and most commonly, barley. Additionally, whisky is usually aged in wooden casks, typically made from charred white oak. According to the 2009 Scotch Whisky Regulations, single malt whisky is whisky produced from...

...The King Debate Disadvantages NASA and the Russian Federal Space agency are two of the most successful space agencies in the world. They have been capable of successfully launching rockets into the stratosphere, spending large sums of money to make this fantasy come true. Not criticizing their accomplishments, but I do believe that this is just a waste of time. Let’s start with the United States. The United States has managed to send about 12 American men to the moon, to this day they are still spending money to try and get more people on the moon and explore new planets. Knowing this, America’s economy is getting worse and worse. Taxes are going up and that doesn’t really seem to do anything or make a difference because Americans don’t want to spend more money on taxes. As of October 13th 2013, America’s debt has increased by 328 billion dollars in a single day surpassing 17 trillion dollars for the first time. Now, if America has so much time to somehow acquire money that can send astronauts up to space, it would be very considerate if they thought of using that money to get America out of this 17 trillion dollar predicament. Another point is that, money is better used to help the people of their own country have or live better lives. We know that us humans exist but we don't know if these so called "space creators" exist so why bother. If there are things out there they don't hurt us. We people in your country we are like family and you have to help family because family...
