1780 to 1890 was the oblation of slavery. since the beginning of time slavery was widely used and practiced and with was hardly ever condemned. with the beginning of civilization as we know to modern time the legitimacy of salivary was beginning to be largely condemned. in the eighteen century enlightened thinkers of the Europe had become increasingly critical of slavery as a violation of the natural right of mankind. the french and American revolution was focus and attention to formation of anti slaverly and the voices religious voices increased and was expressed first by Quaker and the protestaner evalngelicals in britain and the united states and it was, also during that time most nations became nationalism to take price in political and in to separate nations cultue and terrioty and deserving and independent political before the turn of the century. this time people stop thinking about being ruled by foreighn country and wounted to ruled locally and have freedom of local national pride. the third atlant revolution lay in the emergence of a feminist movement. the women feminst changed the way men and women work, play, think, dress, worship, vote, reporoduce, make love and make war. this kind of thinking for women to get freedom started in europe started to challenge the old church thinking instinct inferiosterly and infiority. the french writer condorcet called for the complete oblishment of the war of the sexes thinking for equality for women which many women joined the fight and that i believe the women movement started and and ended up american and living throught today times and still trying to continues today and still need some improvement but we have come a lone way.

economic globalization now and then
i wanted to blog about world trade in our present and past and how similar it is to the past beside the fact we have cell phones. chapter 14 is about global commerce and how long distance in spices, textiles, silver, gold, beaver pelts, deer skins, slaves and sugar, salt which provides a perspective what was being traded the and the currency of gold that was used to trade for items of need. if we think of the twenty century trade or current times that no one nation is capable to produce all product which which is need for nation people to survive and how quickly were able to trade and how quickly it's done today. it's also the same in the past they trade in the past to get the goods and supply needed. after Europe dark ages, Europe and Asia practically china had lots of trade with each other. but like now and then some trade items where being denied or not trade for example the Europeans where refusing to trade porcelain dishes which ironically we call china today. and the china did the same. another example how important trade is yemian or the Arabian country made lot of coffee to drink but needed to sugar to sweetening the taste and the sugar came from the Caribbean or Brazil and vise verse the Caribbean need the coffee to drink but already had the sugar. This is one small example i'm using to show how important trade is between nation now and then. Global trade in my opinion is a very important thing and should be over controlled to continues the access of goods and services. the only down fault of trade is that alto bossiness men today out source cheaper labor to other nation for increased profit and forgetting about their own country men. this is a major that needs some control so that your own country doesn't fall behind economically for the greed of a few in control of money and power.

As an Arab my self who was born in Nazareth Palestine as an Christian that really doesn't know a whole lot about the Muslim religion because what i was told about them as a child and the personal bickering i remember going on as child in Israel. in reading chapter nine i learned that Muhammad was born in mecca to a Quash family. Muhammad as a young boy lost his parents and had to live with his uncle and worked as a Sheppard to earn a living. Muhammad in later life wanted to get and explore the world and travel as fair as Syria starting from mecca this would be consider a long journey in that time. while his travels to Syria he became a trader. by the age of 25 years old he married a wealthy widow who also prosperous merchant who Muhammad father six children with. Muhammad was a high reflective man and was deeply troubled by the religious corruption and social inequalities that was accruing in Mecca at the time. like Jesus, Buddha and other religion started Muhammad himself had a powerful, overwhelming religious experience that left him convince that he was Allah's messenger and senger to the Arabs. Mohammed preached for over 22 years which was later writhing by his flowers which is now known at the Qua ran that most muslin believe is the word of god. Muslim believe that people in power and religion should mix in one because if your leader believe in Muhammad that they will be good, just merciful to their people. i know in today time many people look at Islam a terrorist religion because of what going around the world today. but remember you can't judge a few bad apple in that blame for the whole, Christians and other religions have there wars in the name of their religions also. you have judge people individually and truly understand what the religion is teaching before you make precluded judgement and that discrimination is thought why we have so many war from misunderstand people a little different from us.
