<p>Thorughout history, many people respond different ways to different things for different reasons. Often times, when change is forced on a group of people they do not look kindly upon it. This would be the case for what the World considers the Scramble for Africa. According to the documents given, European powers gave the illusion of choice to the people and then backed that up with bullets when they resisted. In response the the European Colonization of Africa, the Native people feared the social problems that would face them along with the fear of foreign rule. This caused them to rely heavily on their religious faith and the belief that dying in battle would be better than becoming slaves. Due to the matriarchal set up of African Tribes, women had a larger role in determining their course of action than women in other European Countires had. </p>

<p>According to Document 1 (The Standard form signed by many African Rulers by The Royal Niger Company) and Document 2 (Ashanti Leader’s response to a British Official) discuss how the British give the illusion that African Nations have a choice in this matter. After all, the British offer a contract to be signed by African Leaders which implies that Leaders may choose to accept or decline. After being presented with this dilema, most African Nations such as the Ashanti wished to remain independent and to preserve their relations with Europe.The African’s felt like they were in control of their own fate due to the false illusion of free choice.The British obviously anticipated this resistance as they later used warfare to control Africa by force. </p>

<p>Accordint to Document 3 (Letter to Europe from the Leader of Ethiopia) and Document 8 (Account of the Maji Maji Rebellion in Germany from a German Officer) explain the role of religion in The Colonization of Africa. Due to the Berlin Conference, the Continent of Africa was being divided. Many felt like they had been saved in previous crises as a result of their god’s doing. African Nations believed that they maintained their independence by being protected from the God’s and felt invincible against European bullets. This could be attributed to one of the reasons why the African’s chose to fight in the face of an almost certain death. Also the Ethiopian victory (doc. 5) gave African’s a sense of hope in their quest to remain independent. The German’s also used the religious practice of the African tribes as propaganda to motivate soldiers. Many military personnel believed that the African’s strength of faith came from a form of voodoo or a spiritual water. This document is biased because the Germans were exploiting the practices of the African religions for their own purpose and self benefit.</p>

<p>According to Document 4 (by an African Veteran), Document 6 (Speech to Chiefs by the Queen Ashanti), Document 7 (letter to another African Leader by Samuel Maherero and Document 9 (African leaders response to a German Catholic Missionary). All of these documents depict the oppressive use of force on African Natives which sparked an African Rebellion. After African tribes turned down contracts, British stopped pretending to be nice and used guns on the people. Many people fought back in fear that they would be treated like slaves if colonized by Europe. Unlike trends accross the world during this time period, women convinced many male leaders that it would be almost dishonerable to let their King be taken without firing a single bullet. This was mainly due to the Matriarchal structure of Society that was formed in early African Societies. Bias is also prevalent in these documents also due to the fact that African’s were crying out for help and were only using the facts that would support their cause. </p>

<p>African Nations responded to colonization efforts by holding on to their religious beliefs and through militaristic resistance. Many African Natives motivated themselves to fight by thinking that the only alternative would be slavery. Later in History, the dividing up of Africa during the Berlin Conference divided up many ethnic groups which would cause perpetual violance in Africa. Also European exploitation of resources left Africa dependant on European powers, very similar to Latin American and South American Countries. An additional document that would have been helpful is a response from African merchants that detailed the possible economic consequences of European Colonization.</p>

<p>Out of curiosity, why do you think that? There really isn’t that much change in the civil examinations over time, other than they came and went repeatedly. I can see why you’d think Trans-Sahara (the last two years have been Indian and Silk Road), but I highly doubt they’d ask the same basic topic again.</p>

<p>Prompt: Based on the following documents, analyze factors that shaped the modern Olympic movement from 1892 to 2002. Identify and explain what additional type of documents or sources would help you assess these factors. </p>

<pre><code>There are many different factors involved in the shaping of the modern Olympic movement from 1892 to 2002, including nationalism, economics, and politics, especially during the periods of World War 1 and World War 2.
The most obvious factor involved in the modern Olympics was nationalism. Everyone loved to see their own country win an event. As evident in document 2, the photo of Sybil Newall shows that even women were allowed to participate in the 1908 Olympics in Great Britain in a show of nationalism to their country. Additionally, Ali Kabir, sportswriter for the Pakistan newspaper Dawn, criticized the Pakistan field hockey team for their lack of nationalism, and that athletes used to be “willing to sacrifice anything for the newborn country,” but now the team is “clueless” and has “tarnished the country’s name.”
A second factor involved in the modern Olympics is economics. Usually, the host country of the Olympics and companies that made the most of advertisement during the Olympics benefitted financially. As shown on the graph in document 9, every few years, the Olympic Committee for International TV and Radio Broadcast rights was getting paid more as the idea of the Olympics grew in popularity and TV and radio became more readily available to people throughout the world. Also, an news article from the Japan Economic Journal shows that although Korea was the host country of the Olympics in 1988, it failed to “avail itself of an opportunity to display its industrial and economic power to a worldwide television audience.” The author criticizes Korea, saying that out of 9 corporations that sponsored the 1988 Olympics, Korea was not one of them. This shows that companies from around the world benefitted financially from the Olympics. The article went on to say that the countries that sponsored the Olympics including the “United States, Japan, and some other countries stand to make a lot of god at the Seoul Olympics” while Korea would not.
Finally, the biggest factor that shaped the Olympics between 1892 and 2002 was the political factor. This time was a time of political turmoil all throughout the world. Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic movement gave a speech in 1892, with the hope that “the cause of peace will have reached a new and strong ally” and that the Olympics would serve as a healthy competitive means by which peaceful diplomacy could be brought to Europe. According to Arnold Lunn, the German Nazis “sought to prove that they were better skiers than other people, but more importantly that Nazism was better than democracy.” Bob Matthias of the US Olympics team admitted that he loved to beat the Soviets because “they were the real enemy,” making a reference to the end of World War 2 and the Cold War. Finally, Ryotaro Azuma, mayor of Tokyo stated that “without the magic of the Olympics we might not have gotten what we needed to rise as a world trade power.” These four documents manifest that despite the obvious tensions between countries in 1892 to 2002, the Olympic games were a healthier alternative to war and militarism.

<p>The modern Olympics served many functions between the times of 1892 and 2002. They served as a way to represent one’s country, a way to encourage an idea or way of thinking, a nonviolent way to “defeat the enemy,” or for some entrepreneurs, a way to make money. The Olympics games served as a safe haven, and a way to keep the peace during a time of war and tension, and this has shaped what the modern Olympics has come to be.</p>

<p>Am I supposed to refer to the documents by the title/who wrote it,
or “document 5” ?</p>

<p>Either or. Whichever way makes it clear and makes you look smart, or whichever is more feasible. Some document names may be twenty words long-- then, just do the document number. Also, when you’re grouping, the numbers are better. Write the names when discussing each in detail.</p>

<p>I need help in writing a compare and contrast essay can anyone help me out. This is my prompt. Karl Marx asserted, “Religion is the opiate of the masses.” Using TWO of the religions below, compare and contrast the role the religion has played in promoting or impeding societal change.
