David Christian, a scholarly American historian and author conveyed many processes and factors in his historical framework. Christian expresses the history of the universe in a way that may seem too complex to many, but without the exchange of energy that occurred between Asia and Africa and the North Atlantic world, our universal history would be altered immensely. The energy transfer from Asia and Africa to the North Atlantic world can be explained by many factors, processes, and methods, however the two most important in my mind are the method of falsification and the industrialization of the sugar trade.
Falsification, a process by which scientists and other experimenters disprove or “falsify” a theory or finding from the past and either …show more content…
If the laborers didn’t work tirelessly in the fields and process the sugar cane purely by hand at one point and come up with new mechanisms little by little, we would never have known that sugar could be mass produced and go from a process that took days and even weeks to a short process that took only a few minutes. This shift is responsible for the way sugar is produced today, and without the people of Antigua and Cuba in the 16th and 17th centuries, America would not have a way of mass producing the convenient bags of sugar we see on the supermarket shelves. The industrialization of the sugar market was a slow and grievous process, but the effects of it have brought sugar production to new heights. These heights brought true economic change, transferring these sugar producing societies from agrarian to industrial. The industrialization of sugar production has had a huge impact on our world and is truly responsible for a large part of the energy exchange from Asia and Africa to the North Atlantic World.
The end result of this energy exchange is the expansion of cultural ideas and practices across the world. From falsification expanding the world’s knowledge on several branches of science and medicine to industrialization of sugar expanding and creating mass production of sugar cane, the implications of Christian’s methods and processes are truly shown throughout
