1st millennium

I have seen it on quite a few occasions, walking the Lake Michigan boardwalk, or heading to Soldier Field, to watch the Chicago Bears play. Not only did the Cloud Gate take three years just to create, when it was shipped and constructed in Millennium Park, it was hidden underneath a large tarp for approximately 7-9 months. This is where I have a unique connection and one of the main reasons I chose to pick this work of art for this paper. A 24-person crew, in 2005 took to the task of polishing…

The disorder kills about 1000 to 1,500 of Canadians each year, with this number to be likely higher as death certificates often fail to record the eating disorder as the cause…

People inhabited in England during the early 16th century had been under the authority of the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church for generations. Women during this period were seen with little to no importance. King Henry VIII and his first wife Katherine of Aragon…

In Society today they’re many problems that people will go through day in and day out without full grasp of it. Poverty and Disease is an example of something our society will continue to struggle with.

The axiom that trade leads to peace seems logical. Trade is always profitable (for at least one partner), and it would be counter-productive to do anything that would disrupt the relationship through violence.

The kingdoms of central Java in the classical and early modern periods are an excellent case study of the general transition to a galactic polity system in Southeast Asia. Although these powerful polities ruled their areas from 1500 to 1800, the roots of these societies can be found in the beginning of the classical period in the 9th century. In Java, an early agrarian Hindu-Buddhist society gave way to the rise of the Kingdom of Majapahit, and later, the Kingdom of Mataram. Through the…
