Yesterday in class, we were told to reflect on one AP World Theme over the course of our first quarter, and I chose to do the Development and Interaction of Cultures.
In the first quarter, when we covered the time period of 8000-600 BCE, a great majority of the unit was centered on the development of world religions, offering a greater extention of the material covered in Global 9. Specifically, we analyzed the gender roles of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Hinduism in great depth; and we looked at many documents (both primary and secondary sources) which covered many aspects of Hindu, Buddhist and Confucian life.
Outside of religion, we also viewed different elements of technology and the spread of such technology in many different world regions; specifically the way writing systems impacted the future of the world.
Over all, it has been a wonderful first quarter, and I look forward to the next unit, which I will continue to blog on.

On the brink of global revolution?
Global warming. Hardly any winter. Unpredictable weather. Disastrous hurricanes. Wild tornados. Devastating tsunamis. Polar ice caps and glaciers melting. Sustainable Development. Nuclear power. Wind power. Solar power. Hydro-electric power. Alternative fuels...
Could the human population be on the brink of another historical revolution likened to the Neolithic Revolution? The Neolithic revolution absolutely changed the existence and impact of humans on the world. No longer needing to spend our time and energy looking for food to sustain the small population, men(and women!) could be creative, build massive structures, create complex governments with bureaucracy, devote time and energy to worshipping gods and goddesses, building empire, etc. WHAT A REVOLUTION!!!
THEN, several hundreds of years later....the Industrial Revolution!! Trains, cars, factories, steam engines, gasoline power cars, electricity, radios, computers, televisions, more cars, weapons, video recorders, records, cds, dvds, ipods, etc. etc. etc. -- a continuing revolution!!
But, now, are we on the brink of a global changing revolution that our neolithic and technological revolution has created? More and more in the news, in the movies (An Inconvenient Truth), in the Congress, and in the U.N., there are discussions about the human impact on the environment. What we do today will impact the planet 100 years from now. It seems that FINALLY, our governments are ready to address this issue! China, an emerging global power, is acknowledging the rampant pollution in its own country as it goes through its own industrial revolution today.
There is even discussion about "sustainable clothing" in future fashion developments!
So this lead me to an earth-altering question: are we on the verge of another tremendous revolution will be as significant as the Neolithic revolution? Will it take thousands of years or a hundred years or 20 years?
how do you put in a picture
