Chapter 4 Cultural traditions and Different religions

 I found some pretty interesting things in this chapter mainly because of the topic that was based off religion and how it was viewed from both cultural sides of China and India. 
           What I found interesting about this was when in the text it would demonstrate about how the women were treated differently in society and what their roles were. From the Chinese side I did not think it was going to be that intense on their cultural side because they are mainly about discipline and they also made the Chinese religion a routine, but the thing that would split the difference from the both cultures is the the ladies are actually able to go to school, be able to perform in rituals. If a woman was almost at the top of her social class she would be able to choose the type of husband that she wants. In India it was somewhat understandable that they would want to keep to the cultural routines and traditions such as having the women as caretakers or housewives, and besides that women of that country were treated in a bad way and their services would be taken for granted but some tend to look ahead and know what they are signing up for. Some would talk about how the women there tend to be viewed or observed as "unclean". Now that is something that is pretty humiliating to be told and if it were out in public it would be embarrassing to be seen out in public after that type of situation. Ladies in India were to be attentive to the men as if they had the position of a god. In India the tradition is that if the husband of a woman were to die, then that would mean that the women will be forced to be married or passed down to somebody else, if it does not workout with that person then they will be passed down to next man on the list. Being single can never be an option, that goes for one is young. It sounds crazy because the kids/adolescents don't benefit anything from this at all and the parents do because they expect to have grand kids and all that main stuff, so pretty much to end this topic the women in India have a somewhat hard lifestyle compared to the way that the Chinese ladies.

Chapter 8

I thought that this was an interesting chapter the way that things and tradition would function in China in a variety of ways How the Women played their roles in society and that goes for the way that women were seen as a distraction in society from a mans point of view because of the way that they tend to check the ladies out. The women would also be running restaurant. Women led less restricted lives, elite Chinese women of the Tang dynasty era at least in the north and had participated in social life with greater freedom than in earlier times. Social Hierarchy(prioritizing the social the order) It was something that was also good for landowner examination system which is something that gives one the opportunity to gain a career and put his talent to use. Educational/Training The examination system was restored and modified to be a bit more complex and was fowrdly advanced on the ability to make or print books to be the first one to be known throughout world history, an...

Chapter 6

While reading this chapter I found some pretty fascinating information in this chapter and it was the type that of information that one can understand in an easy pace and also because all of this  is something that has a similarity between several societies. I did find that the Nubian civilization,almost as old as Egypt itself.Throughout several the Nubian's civilization both traded and fought with Egypt and on one occasion the Nubian Kingdom of Kush took over Egypt and was able to maintain it throughout a century. Later on it crumbled down and Nubian Civilization was the one with the most populated people and that is when the civilization of Meroe came in because the Nubian's have settled in the southern part of that city.  It also a strong government and it would to be making a lot of accomplishments and what I mean by that is the technology advancements and money wise it would look like they would be keeping a steady pace and that would also go for the business...

Society and Inequality in Eurasia/North Africa

In the recent 250 years historians of world history have returned to the question of how the social rythme and for a long time have been wondering it to be something natural and permanent. People such as the French.Russian,Chinese had revolutionary obstacles and have created damaged old monarchies and class hierarchies. Organizations such as the Abolitionist who would pretty much attack slavery in the 19th century, and the women's movement had fought long and hard to gain their rightful place in society and not just them but also the abolitionist most people in that time was fight for their rightful place in society. Famous people in history like Mahatma Gandhi fought for India while it was going through its struggle for its independence in the 20th century as an attempt to raise the status of "untouchables" which means in Indian terms "Harridan" or in English it means "Nevertheless,caste,class,patriarchy, and also the most import...
