December 2007 World History

<p>I think 35 is right. Not sure though</p>

<p>Wait, theres problems with 74 and 50. </p>

<p>74: theres no answer that has BOTH Samurai and vassals. </p>

<p>50_ Peter the great :P</p>

<p>^ um, for 74 there was an answer that said "Vassals: Samuri"</p>

<p>I remember because I circled it.</p>

<p>They followed as; </p>

<p>Something
Something
Serfs: Samuri
Vassals: Samuri
Serfs: Shogun</p>

<p>28- some say arabs some say china
are 58, 64,65,66, 82 consistent with what you guys think?</p>

<p>and domestication of animals and food led to population increase?</p>

<p>so then what would the answer be</p>

<p>Hey Michelle, can you message me the new list of answers? Thanks!</p>

<p>Me too! Thanks!</p>

<p>are we done with the list??</p>

<p>when are we getting our scores online? December 20th?</p>

<p>i have a question, Michelle, for 31. The population increases, but slowly or rapidly??? </p>

<p>I put the slowly one. :(( </p>

<p>I didnt put the same answer for 58</p>

<p>RootBeerCaesar: I know iam really annoying but i still have a question for the feudalism one</p>

<p>Did u guys have anything that said: KIngs and samurai?? </p>

<p>I remember the choices are:</p>

<p>Serfs and samurai
Serfs and vassals
Serfs and daimyo
Kings and samurai
Vassals and sumthing</p>

<p>Yes it said kings and samurai, but the answer is vassals - samurai, or lords -samurai</p>

<p>About communism, I agree with michelle. Communism promises to end the struggle between social classes by removing private property... that promises a return to a simpler life rather than riches (private property).</p>

<p>About domestication- I was confused about this one, but I wrote the classical outcome of the Neolithic Revolution: more time available to dedicate to other activities.</p>

<p>I'm not sure about 11, 70, and 71.
35 i'm sure.
50- i think it was Peter
28- I say China
64-66 I wrote the same answers
I don't know what 82 is ...</p>

<p>could you send me the updated list michelle?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>about social darwinism...</p>

<p>if an answer was about leaders who want to take control of other nations that's the right answer. however i think the answer said leaders who want to take control of their OWN nation. in that case the answer would be that scientists wanted to apply the scientific method to the social sciences.</p>

<p>Seriously I read it's leaders who want to take over other countries.</p>

<p>Even if it is own country it'd still not make sense for "scientist" applying scientific method. "Scientific" method does not equal science.</p>

<p>And for communism I remember there is an answer choice about "riches for all." Simpler life simply doesn't make sense here.</p>

<p>simpler life does make sense. i can't say i know the answer but simpler life makes more sense than riches. Communism wants to abolish private property, yes? Without private property you cannot accumulate richness. Richness goes with capitalism. A return to a simpler life, as michelle and I said before, means no property thus no social classes. The first form of social organization was one without property and no social classes, this is what communism advocates: a return to a simple form of life.</p>

<p>Social darwinism- it probably was leaders control other nations and I missed it. But if it did not say that, then the answer was about the scientific method applied to social sciences. Darwinism is a scientific theory that applies to the origin of lifeforms, evolution, natural selection, etc. Social Darwinism is a theory that applies the scientific method (like all sciences today, from anthropology to economy to physics to chemistry) to say that the more advanced societies should rule over inferior societies. During that period scientists were advocating for the use of the scientific method to not only physical sciences but also social sciences. In that sense, they would have encouraged social darwinism as it applied the scientific method.</p>

<p>I guess that one about "simpler life" is true for communism - if one takes Rousseau's words where he states that private property is the cause of all the suffering and complexity of the world, then logically a lack of private property would mean simplicity, which would thus neccesitate that answer. Blegh, and I'm like the ultimate expert on communism too - cant believe I got that wrong.</p>

<p>The darwinism, I remember, did say leaders wanting to take over other countries. The answer choice was A, I believe.</p>

<p>michelle, could i get the list as well? thanks.</p>

<p>then darwinism question must be A, I can't believe I misread that one. The answer is pretty clear.</p>

<p>ok, i havent really changed anything on the list. im just comparing what people are saying to the list that i have and making judgement calls based on that. otherwise, if youve been adding to it and modifying it since i sent it, its about the same.</p>

<p>also we have 5 questions left to finish the test. (6 if the covenant one was on a practice test and im just confused..and i also dont remember the question about trading in africa which everyone believes the answer is gold coast)
if we do finish the list, ill resend it to the contributors.</p>

<p>thanks for keeping up the discussion guys, i really think doing this is taking the testing experience to a whole other level...seriously, this is what should count, not some stupid test.</p>

<p>keep trying to remember and maybe the last few ones will come to us!</p>

<p>i dont know what are the ones after #74...</p>
