The Holocaust

I feel so bad and pity for the prisoners in the Nazi concentration camp. The survivors may be happy that they survived the hard times that they had undergone, but they should think of their health. They are too skinny. I can see their ribs coming out and their legs look like chopsticks. So thin. The Nazis are very bad, because they killed so many peoples. They are wasting many peoples' lives. For me, life is not a joke. For people, animals, even tiny, little creatures' lives are very important.

Pros and Cons of Colonialsim

Pros
Colonialism is the extension of a nation's sovereignty over territory and people outside its own boundaries, often to facilitate economic domination over their resources, labor, and markets. The term also refers to a set of beliefs used to legitimize or promote this system, especially the belief that the mores of the colonizer are superior to those of the colonized.

Cons
Colonialism involves the rule or taking of territory of one people by another and

without their consent, it is a highly emotive subject. Debate about the perceived positive and negative aspects of colonialism has occurred for centuries, amongst both colonizer and colonized.

Scientific Revolution & Enlightenment

Scientific Revolution

• Francis Bacon  -  Bacon (1561-1626) was one of the great philosophers of the Scientific Revolution. His thoughts on logic and ethics in science and his ideas on the cooperation and interaction of the various fields of science, presented in his work Novum Organum, have remained influential in the scientific world to this day.
• Robert Boyle  -  Boyle (1627-1691), a successful physicist at Oxford college, worked with his colleague Robert Hooke to discern the properties of the air, experimenting with air pressure and the composition of the atmosphere. Boyle proved that only a part of the air is used in respiration and combustion, and is thus credited with the discovery of oxygen. Boyle's further work touched on the beginnings of the study of matter on the atomic scale.

Enlightenment

• Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642, in a manor house in Woolthorpe, a village in the English county of Lincoln.More than twenty years elapsed between Newton's first conception of gravitation and the publication, in 1686-7, of Newton's great work on gravity and physics, the Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, known to posterity as the Principia. In these two decades, scientific inquiry did not stand still, and other minds had pondered versions of Newton's initial idea--that the force of attraction holding planets in their orbits varied inversely with the square of their distance from the sun.

• Robert Hooke (1635-1708)

  Robert Hooke was perhaps one of the most important scientists from the 17th century.  While his research and findings were often overshadowed by those of his rival Sir  Isaac Newton, one cannot argue their importance in the development of fields such as physics, astronomy, biology, and medicine, to name a few.Robert Hooke looked at a sliver of cork through a microscope lens and noticed some "pores" or "cells" in it. Robert Hooke believed the cells had served as containers for the "noble juices" or "fibrous threads" of the once-living cork tree. He thought these cells existed only in plants, since he and his scientific contemporaries had observed the structures only in plant material. Robert Hooke wrote Micrographia, the first book describing observations made through a microscope. The drawing to the top left was created by Hooke. Hooke was the first person to use the word "cell" to identify microscopic structures when he was describing cork. Hooke also wrote Hooke's Law -- a law of elasticity for solid bodies.

How did the Spice Trade change the world?

1. Yes, the Spice Trade changed the world by making food more tastier and more other uses. If the Europeans didn't find spices, the food they are eating would have been not tasty. So people began to search for spices around the world especially in the places near and in Indonesia.

2. The other things that Spice Trade changed the world was that  spices were used for both medicinal and embalming procedures.
