HW 4/14

I am confused on who else has territories in India other than Britian and also I am confused about who has colonies on Oceana.

Compare and contrast the sorts of adjectives Kipling uses to describe native peoples as opposed to Europeans; how does his very language usage convey his sense of white superiority?

He uses words of discouragement like devil and savage and famine while he uses joyous words like sons and peers. He uses words that describe a group of people who are equal to eachother bit are lesser than God by calling them peers while he uses words like devil and savage to describe the natives as discusting and beneath them. Using sons and peers gives the Europeans and sense of power over the natives of the land, allowing them to do as they please.

Ottoman Political Cartoon

The reform that I picked was the reform about the education system. In this reform, the Ottomans created a system where everyone could get free primary and secondary schooling, making you elidagle to go and study at the university. This reform is pimperwnt because it made the Ottoman Empire, as a whole, become more educated. The younger generation became smarter than their ancestors making them more capable to creat a sufficient country and develop a cunning government.

This cartoon shows people watching over the people of the Ottoman Empire growing up; watching them go from children to adults. Theseeople are the people in the ministry. They have big heads to show their importance and their power and influence over the people below them (notice how they are at the top of the page looking down at the others). I labels each school and put the same number of people in each school with arrows to depict that they are growing up and receiving an education as they do this.

HW 4/6

How do the plans of the Young Turks privilege their own age cohort within the Ottoman empire, particularly in terms of voting rights and education?

All of the subjects under Ottoman rule were able to vote by the age of 20. They did not discriminate agains the people the had taken over. The Young Turks created a system of primary and secondary schools which lead to going to a university which would all would be under watch of the state ministry of education. Also all primary education was free and mandatory. This shows that they put an emphasis on equality and education, which will be valed when trying to expand their empire on future generations.

Niall Ferguson TED Talk Video

I agree with Ferguson with his reasons on the great divergence. His reasons seem accurate and are well supported with his examples of East and West Germany and North and South Korea. They support the idea that it's the government and the ideas of the people that induce prosperity and wealth contrary to the thought that property brings wealth and prosperity.

Anatomy of Revolution

Stage 1 (causes): the middle class must be wealthy and feel like they do not have justice economic wise, develops intellectuals and gains their support, and makes their economic power known my politicians, and the government must me financially weak.

Stage 2 (1st stage of revolution): They fight the difference in taxation, 2 groups begin to form, the revolution'a lead by a small body without centeralized planning, the government uses force to stop it which doesn't work leading to the monarchy being unable to rule.

Stage 3 (2nd stage of revolution): The moderate revolutionaries and the radical ones begin to fight, the radicals win due to organized fighting, and there is a period of radical power called Terror.

Stage 4 (3rd stage of revolution): The terror starts to end and the moderates come back into control kicking out the radicals from their spots in power and they become scapegoats for the new government, a uniform religion is established and life returns to normal.
