<p>hey guys,
thought I would put out a frq
Compare and contrast the effect that two out of the following three religions had on China, India, and or the Middle east.</p>
<p>Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam
(I don’t know if its clear but just pick two religions and two “countries”)</p>
<p>You guys really don’t need to worry about WHAP. </p>
<p>If you’re just clear-headed throughout, there shouldn’t be a reason why you can’t get a 8 or a 9 on the DBQ. And the MC is pretty general themed, so even if you don’t know some of them, you can guess [based on your knowledge of the time chunk trends] and most likely get it right.</p>
<p>The curve is super generous also.</p>
<p>India Hinduism vs Middle east Islam
India:
-spread vastly
<p>Middle East:
-spread vastly as well
-culturally effected the M.E.</p>
<p>Similarities:
-Both quite popular among the people.
-Effects culturally</p>
<p>Differences:
-islam doesn’t have caste system. That made the classes more flexible than in India.</p>
<p>thats all i can think of…</p>
<p>Next Question: Compare and Contrast the unfree labor systems in agriculture from 1450-1750.
Pick TWO out of:
North American slavery
Carribbean Slavery
Russian Serfdom</p>
<p>You could either do bullet style or writing.</p>
<p>bullet style :D</p>
<p>Im just going to write a list of the qualities of each. </p>
<p>Russian Sefdom:
-like feudalism???
-Then Peter the Great came in (or was it Catherine) abolished serfdom. However this failed because. This is because they still had to pay money to the landowners and thus stayed on the land. </p>
<p>Carribean Slavery:
Plantation/latifundista system
like feudal
-weren’t payed</p>
<p>Clearly i need to review slavery …</p>
<p>is a 40/70 and 7,8,8 good enough for a five?</p>
<p>i’m not sure how you would get a mock score from 1-5. anybody have a new essay topic? i’ll take a shot at one now that i’m out from school</p>
<p>adding to the previous.
Similarities:
-both slaves and serfs could be sold and bought and regarded as property
-had very few rights
-both labor systems caused unrest
-motivated by economic gain
-need for labor either on plantations (carribbean) to work agriculture (Russia)</p>
<p>Differences:
Russian serfs
-bound to the land for generations
-higher status than slaves
-could have familial units</p>
<p>Carribean Slaves
-imported from Africa
-worked in labor gangs</p>
<p>Next Question: Compare and contrast the industrial revolutions in England/Europe versus Japan.</p>
<p>There are several distinctions between the industrial revolutions in Europe and Japan. Firstly, Europe’s revolution was based on internal factors (plague killed people, less
people = demand more wages, unions, more technology & industries, etc.) while Japan’s industrial revolution was kicked off by the Europeans themselves. In 1853 Commodore Matthew Perry forcibly opened the previously isolated (except for Dutch trading ships) Japanese ports to western trade. Also, in Japan there was a complete political uprising and turnover to start the revolution period, while in Europe it was a steady change of power going on as usual. In Japan the Meiji empire took over and promoted broad western changes to industrialize their country. </p>
<p>Similarities: more urbanized, led to changes in the government, changed societal roles, put both in positions of power. </p>
<p>Next question: WOMENS RIGHTS, change over time in islamic culture (from the beginning of it until present day…be broad, lol)</p>
<p>Women in Islamic culture initially had much freedom. But, as the years went by women had to wear the veil, and they started to become secluded from society. Women couldn’t have more than one husband, unlike men who could have more than one wife, as long as each wife was treated equally. Female infanticide was forbidden due to the fact in Islam men and women are equal. Women could own property and even choose to divorce their husband but the fact that females were later secluded from the public made these legal privileges villages not matter much. Today, in countries like Saudia Arabia, women are do not have anywhere as much rights as women in other countries. In Saudi Arabia, women cannot drive, go out in public alone or without a veil, work in stores (ie women clothing stores strangely enough), etc.</p>
<p>yeah womens rights, slavery, and world trade are my weak spots. I know that the PR has a section on women every chapter so i’ll read that. They also have one on trade–right?</p>
<p>as for slavery what do you guys think i should do to learn it?</p>
<p>thanks</p>
<p>oh i forgot,
question: Change over time: Social structure in Europe from 600s to industrial revolution.</p>
<p>i don’t have PR (kaplan? ugh. i dont like it that much) so i can’t help you with that one. for studying slavery…possibly just skim over the parts in your textbook about russian serfs, columbian slave trade & slaves in brazil, caribbean, etc, indp in haiti (slave colony!). check out the PR that you have and see if it says anything about them.</p>
<p>Europe from the 600s to the industrial revolution was basically backwards. there were decentralized kingdoms and many nomadic invasions, or at least attempts to invade. landlords with power usually formed small regional kingdoms, with their own personal armies. this led to most of the population working on the farm and tied to the land in the feudal system. manors, lords, knights, etc. dominated the time period. this formed a very tiny elite class of land-holders, and a mass majority of agricultural workers. in certain times these mini societies banded together to form allies against a common nomadic enemy, such as the huns and visigoths. </p>
<p>finally, one of the turks (charlemagne) took over. he united the kingdom, and there started to be more cities and a formalized idea of a nation forming. because of this, there was more urbanization. when there is more urbanization, women get the opportunity to work in occupations such as nursing and teaching, while the cycle builds up to the industrial revolution.</p>
<p>during the industrial revolution, the social structure changed completely. women were working in factories (many full-time, and in dangerous situations) and most kids were working, too. men still wore the pants in the family, but women started to start more femininst uprisings.</p>
<p>compare/contrast the egyptian and indian independence movements from colonies to independent nations</p>
<p>Similarities:
-Both controlled by the British (at one point).
-Both wanted for their goods/spices</p>
<h2>-British took control economically (Suez Canal in Egypt), (trading in India). </h2>
<p>Differences:
-Britain had a bigger effect on India than it did on Egypt.
-Egypt was independent, although technically apart of the Otto Empire, it came under the control of the british by the Suez Canal.
-In india, the indians used non violent civil disobedience to gain freedom.
-Egypt was mostly one religion (islam) therefore it had an easier time working together and uniting. Whereas India had a diverse population of Hindus (predominantly) and Muslims.
-India was a direct control colony vs Egypt was an indirect.</p>

<p>:D</p>
<p>ok um can anyone explain this question (from princeton):</p>
<p>Using one of following religions compare and contrast the role the religion ahs played in promoting or impeding socieal change. Consider specific texts, revolutions, and religious leaders
-Christianity
-Buddhism
-Hinduism
-Islam
-Judaism</p>
<p>Thats relatively easy. Just pick the one you have the most info on in your mind. IMO, I think Christianity is the easiest because I go to a Christian school (even though I’m atheist haha). </p>
<p>Lemme help you out. </p>
<p>While Christianity has impeded societal change in a number of ways, it is mainly a religion that has helped build unity and has played an extensive role in allowing societal change to occur. One such example lays at the founding of the religion around the 2nd Century CE. In this time, Christianity was developing strongly throughout the Roman Empire with its teachings of moral values; the main figurehead who was believed to be God by the worldviews constitutents being Jesus Christ. As the Christians grew in number, they were persecuted more and more throughout the Roman Empire. They were tortured, cruxified, and maimed through various methods in order to suppress their beliefs in response to the vast amount of religious intolerance that was demonstrated throughout the Roman Empire at the time. This all changed, however, due to Emperor Constantine. Despite the impeded societal change that occured as a result of the persecution of the Christians, Emperor Constantine signed the Edict of Milan after proportedly having a “vision from God” in which he saw the Holy Cross in the sky before battle (a battle he eventually one). This Edict not only ended religious persecution, but it would set in stone the tides of change that would eventually lead to the belief dominating the Empire in such vast amounts that it became the majority, not the minority. After the Roman Empire fell, Chrisitanitys importance still lingered throughout Western Europe. When the feudal system reemerged, Christiantiy was at the center of the changes, and as feudalism took place, Christianity was at the cornerstone of the change in worldview (as evidenced by the Knights established, who had to obey a code of chivalry that strongly represented the morals that the Christian Bible advocates). Thus, the main promoter in society change throughout Romes fall and Western Europes reemergence was the use of Christianity. This is what established the official Catholic Church, along with the clergy, who became nearly above the law in most respects. The clergy were able to avoid certain laws and exempt themselves from obeying them. This in turn led to a society that was dominated by the upper class (especially, as mentioned, the clergy, along with the King in power). This strong impact also can be seen through the Crusades, which were holy wars that were led by the Christians to reclaim the “Holy Land” of Jerusalem from the Muslims who were currently dominating it. The Crusades were fully orcahestrated by advocacy from the clergy, along with the knights involved (who were, in turn, influenced from the religion in which they held a strong adherence to: Christianity). However, this religion has also impeded societal change. As mentioned above, the clergy were very adept at changing the rules to fit what they wanted, and not specifically what the Bible advocated. Thus, reform in intellectual thinking (especially during times such as the Renaissance) was impeded by this near-theocracy that shut out all opinions that did not coincide with faith. One such example can be notified in astrology, in which one scientist proposed that the Earth revolved around the sun, and not vice versa. After he proposed this theory, the Church quickly suppressed his views. This leads to a people who are backwards in academia, and suppressed the views of those who were trying to advance society. In short, much political unity was derived from the efforts of the Christian religion, as well as societal change that has changed the framework of geographic locations; however, Christianity has also impeded free speech and, in the past, has had leaders who were hypocrites that excused themselves from the law. This impediment did not last long, however, as Martin Luther (a German priest) would eventually reform the Church from within with his revolutionary 95 Theses, which ended the hypocrisy of the Christian Church. </p>
<p>Whew, that was all from memory. Ehh, hope it helped terminator</p>
<p>^ oh my… that was pretty darn good. :D</p>
<p>Yea thats a fairly common question I looked over old ap wh frqs and religion cot questions are really popular.</p>
<p>I have a gneral question for the dbq. Can we just use information in the documents or are we expected to add a lot of outside information?</p>
<p>Also to keep the review going
compare and contrast the fall of two of the three : gupta empire, han china, roman empire</p>
