Nomadic people have been a staple of world history throughout time as they have played an important role in the world we have today. In Eurasia, which is modern day Europe and Asia, there were many strong groups of nomadic people who moved frequently. Two of these groups were the Mongols and the Seljuk nomads. Although there are many reasons, these nomadic groups moved more often because of environmental, social, and political problems in their lands. To begin, the Mongols were a strong nomadic powerhouse located originally in the East steppes of Central Asia through the 13th and 14th century. They spent their time in the grassy steppes growing a strong group of people who were skilled archers, equestrians, and strong conquerors. They were…
countries like the United States. Kyrgyzstan is one of the countries that seems to undermine their women. As noted in the International Journal of Central Asian Studies, authors Sarah Amsler and Russ Kleinbach refer to Kyrgyzstan as a “country full of surprises” (1999). One of the surprises in this country is Ala Kachuu, also known as bride kidnapping. Bride kidnapping is a so-called Kyrgyzstan “tradition” that violates the human rights of women. Several points of information argue against the…
themselves. Like most groups of people the Turkish people turned to their religion for comfort and protection. They also had an intricate military system that they could turn to for protection and for taking what they wanted. The might of the military forces allowed these nomadic people to over-take many settlements and impose their own lifestyle views on the settlements they conquered. Although the Turkish nomads conquered settlements they themselves did not stay in one place, instead they…
constantly associate this term with words such as, savage, heathen, hunter gatherer. What if I made the claim that nomads created the largest land empire in history in the shortest amount of time. It might be hard to believe with words commonly associated with Nomad. The Mongols from Northern China empire began in Northern China in 1206 and expanded from the Pacific ocean to the Black Sea. Impressively they were able to achieve this feat in only 70 years with a nomadic society of two million…
“This naturally led to the diffusion of multiple inventions, both those of the Mongols and those ideas the Mongols usurped from cultures they conquered.’” (Genghis Khan and the unification of Mongolia pg1) While Genghis khan was on his conquests he would use his extremely strong army led by his cavalry armed with arrows to overpower and take over cities and towns. On the way since his empire was growing so big he started to become out of his environment and had a hard time adapting thousands of…
didn’t like the Protestant church is back home. When I was in England I heard about a group of people who called themselves the Puritans. They were a group who also believed that the Protestant Church was not complete and was corrupt just like the Catholics. The Puritans wanted to clean up the church and society, and believed that they could make a change within the community by modeling the right way to live life. I decided to join them, but I still didn’t like living in such a corrupt society.…

Good physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual health can contribute to feeling great and having a wonderful outlook on life. People routinely take these aspects of health for granted. For example social health is important, having a group of friends to talk with and support each other makes for a strong foundation. Since moving out here in 2013 and not knowing a lot of people my wife and I have found it increasingly difficult to engage in a healthy social life, plus with having a…
The phrase “low expectations” usually has a negative connotation. This makes sense, because people have associated low expectations with unhappiness and failure. This is not always the case, however; sometimes having low expectations can be viewed as pleasant and helpful, whereas having high expectations can cause disappointment. Even William Shakespeare once said that expectations are the root of heartache. Lowering expectations can positively impact happiness by changing one’s outlook on life,…
Many times, I have looked through the mirror, and said “I need to become more.” These words are not because of lack of confidence, but because with my background, I have learned that there is a need to love oneself to love others. I want to be the type of person people look up to, a person of action and a keeper of words. I have analyzed who I am, and how much work I need to do. “It is too late to change my past; therefore, I will strive to become a better individual by not committing the same…
