<p>the Anti-Buddhist backlash was after Empress Wu’s reign, as she was the main advocate for converting the Chinese populous to Buddhists</p>
<p>Ugh, I over interpreted. what BS.</p>
<p>what was the answer to the Jainism question…? i don’t remember what i put.</p>
<p>i think i put like peace within oneself because that’s what ahimsa means</p>
<p>Honestly I don’t remember learning about Jainism. That question was one of the three that I skipped, haha!</p>
<p>Question about ahimsa in jainism : for personal spiritual progression.
XuanZang : Buddhist texts </p>
<p>and the question about buddhism was that it was integrated with indigenous customs, the answer with peasants stated that it only appealed to peasants, if I remember correctly, and that isn’t true.</p>
<p>Edit :</p>
<p>Question about dharma was caste system, the only other viable option was social mobility but I don’t really think it directly correlates with dharma where as the caste system does.</p>
<p>The anti-roman sentiment was Zealots, although I skipped that question because I didn’t know it at the time</p>
<p>umm, wasnt it about not harming other souls</p>
<p>Ahimsa:
is a term meaning to do no harm (literally: the avoidance of violence - himsa). The word is derived from the Sanskrit root hims - to strike; himsa is injury or harm, a-himsa is the opposite of this, i.e. non harming or nonviolence.[1] It is an important tenet of the Indian religions (Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism).</p>
<p>@eagles</p>
<p>The Jain concept of Ahiṃsā is quite different from the concept of non-violence found in other philosophies. In other religious traditions, violence is usually associated with causing harm to others. On the other hand, in Jainism, violence refers primarily to injuring one’s own self – behaviour which inhibits the souls own ability to attain mokṣa or liberation</p>
<p>maybe your right, but I had I am not 100% sure of it. oh well, just have to wait and see. What do you think the curve will be this year?</p>
<p>Yup, they didn’t have Jainism in Peter Stearn’s (Evil, evil, evil man!!! >:() AP Textbook 5th Edition. It didn’t sound familiar, at all!</p>
<p>I think the curve will be pretty nice, I’d say around 75 raw score for a 800. I thought this test was harder then the released ones so that’s where I got my guess.</p>
<p>ok
- The question on Roman culture was Greece- think about it for a second… Greek mythology became Roman mythology. They invaded and copied customs, etc. For all of you who said Etruscans the question said “at the height of the Roman Empire…” The Etruscans influenced the Roman Republic (pre-Empire thus pre-height)</p>
<p>2) Theravada/Mahayana- difference was that the Buddha was a spiritual savior or something of that sort</p>
<p>3) Considering the Mau Mau Rebellion was a military action it was inherently violent. Just because it derived from non-violence doesn’t mean it was non-violent. Also, process of elimination people!</p>
<p>4) Also the quote form the European about the Franks and the Shah was about the recapturing of Grenada. It could not have been about the crusades because the Franks were pre-800 and the crusades were launched around 1100.</p>
<p>[EDIT] Also, the Franks didn’t launch the crusades. At that point (during the crusades) they were known as the Holy Roman Empire. The question is bad though…because I don’t know if it was necessarily Grenada they recaptured. </p>
<p>5) Painting= socialist realist</p>
<p>6)@joshmay you are right about Marx- he did say that socialism was inevitable thus capitalism inherently failed. Communist revolutionaries (Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, etc.) all took violent approaches and forced a revolution they didnt just let socialism “inevitably” occur</p>
<p>Yup, agree with the post above.</p>
<p>[Military</a> history of Spain - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_history_of_Spain]Military”>Military history of Spain - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>^^^The Franks fought in the Reconquista</p>
<p>So are you saying it’s the third crusade, or the christian conquest of Grenada?</p>
<p>The Saracens (Muslims during the Crusades) referred to all Crusaders with the general term “Franks”
They were still called the Franks at that point in time.</p>
<p>almostsk8tr, I would say Third Crusade.</p>
<p>Oh and wynter, the one about Mao was definitely the peasants. That was what distinguished Mao from other Communists, he relied on a peasant base instead of industrial workers.</p>
<p>Josh, I was talking about the one with Buddhism. With Mao/Shanghai Chek…thats how i pronounce his name i apologize if thats now how its spelled…i put communism? i knew nothing past world war 2 and that was a problem hahah
also: did india nonalign to avoid the cold war?</p>
<p>@joshmay your definitely right- the college board always asks a question about how Mao rallied the peasants not the proletariat. Two things:</p>
<p>1) If what you said about the Franks referring to all crusaders is right I think that makes the choice about Granada and Crusades both potentially correct-- maybe crusades more so? Remember the Franks helped the Spanish in the Reconquista</p>
<p>2) What did you guys say for the question about Sumerian religion. Was it choice (E) about the Mother Goddess and matriarchal order. I’m pretty sure that was the correct answer because no matriarchy existed in Sumer and by process of elimination the other choices were all characteristics.</p>
<p>@wynter Ohh ok well in that case, yes Communism was the answer. Mao was a huge communist and Chiang Kai-Shek was a Nationalist, or anti-Communist.</p>
<h2>And yes, India chose nonalignment to stay out of the Cold War.</h2>
<p>@jcam1234- The quote mentioned the city of Acre I believe, which is in the Middle East and a Crusader target.</p>
<p>And no, Sumerian religion was the one about afterlife vs. present life <em>I think</em>…I remember for sure that Mother Goddess was wrong because the Sumerians did have something like that.</p>
<p>the Sumerians were matriarchal</p>
