Sand, Silk, Sea

                                

            This week in class we talked about the silk, sand, and sea roads. The silk road had to deal with china and Asia, the goods they had were silk, ivory, gold, and agriculture. Some challenges they faced were wealth changes, economic policies, spread of religion, and lastly they were challenged by mountain travel. Second one was the sand roads, their goods were salt, gold, and slaves. The difficulty about this road was that it actually wasn’t a physical road; they trusted the camels to be their navigation and get them where they needed to be. The challenges of this road were that there was no water in the desert or food, and the weather was too hot. Lastly the sea road was traveled by boat on the sea. Their goods were spices, livestock, slaves, silk, and mass markets.

Yes on Subjugation

                

         This week in class we discussed if subjugation is inevitable in human society’s? I think that subjugation is in fact inevitable in societies, because I feel that if we have presidents, laws, and police forces that we will always have rule and regulations to follow. These examples show that there will always be someone more powerful over us. When I say that there will always be someone more powerful over us I don’t say that in a negative way, us as Americans may still live a great life we just won’t be allowed to do everything in this world without a say so or consequence. I feel that subjugation means to be under control or conquer, and for so many years and centuries we have had higher people over us, making laws, and rules to follow.

The Gospel Of Matthew 70-100 C.E

In the document “The Gospel of Matthew” explained how faithful and giving Matthews Jesus was. “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God”, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God”. It expressed how if we are obedient and do what God asks of us that we will be blessed, God will see the good we do and he will bless us with far more great things that we could imagine. This passage also explained how God was all we ever needed, if we needed food God would provide, if we were weak and alone God would provide us with comfort, if we called upon to God he would hear us and help unconditionally. They made it known that if you needed anything God would always be there to bless you. God was unfailing and blessed those who obeyed his commands.

Empires

   This week in class we took notes and discussed the Classical era 500 B.C (greeks and romans). We discussed that "Classical" means.. Golden Age, Seminal Thinkers, Empire, and Greek Socrates. We discussed that semind thinkers are socrates, buddah, mohamad, confucious, jesus, and hindu. The empire also had a lot of positive things to offer since it was big, spread out, and culturally diverse. The benefits of the Persian empire was that there was security, military, infrastructure, safe roads, food, and water. This empire had a lot to offer to the people to feel safe and live comfortably.
