Chapter 22

Communism is defined as a  system of social organization in which all economic and social activity is controlled by a totalitarian state dominated by a single and self-perpetuating political party. It was inspired by Karl Marx. He had the advance knowledge of political philosophy and economic theory. He believed that they could achieve the goals through a democratic process. Communism's peak was in the 1970s, where almost 1/3 of the world's population was under a communistic government. These countries included Eastern Europe , North Korea , Vietnam , Laos , Cambodia , Cuba , Afghanistan. The most important societies were the USSR and China. The Russian or USSR revolution began in 1917, where claimed they were defending Russia from imperialists as well as external exploiters. For almost 25 years, the USSR was the only country to govern under communistic views. As for China, the communism won in China in 1949, the Chinese imperial system collapsed in 1911. The Chinese Communist Party was not founded until 1921, where over the next 28 years they immensely grew and transformed its strategy under Mao Zedong.

The types of classes in the Industrial Revolution

The types of classes were in an order of 3 groups. When thinking in the way of the enlightenment and scientific thinking, it would be the aristocracy, church, and "the rest", in the industrial revolution it was the aristocracy, middle class and working class. The middle class were known as the owners who managed the means of production. They wanted to change their money from $ to $$. Some of the middle class believed they can establish this type of money but knew they would have to work hard, some didn't even try to reach this level. They were also known as the entrepreneurial class= capitalists. The working class was more forced into industrial labor because of their little experience in the work environment. The working class is the selling labor with the industrial economy.

Chapter 18: Industrial Revolution

The Industrial Revolution is the era of improvement in science and technology. Science applied to the practical tastes and applied to production. The production is the unique form of Industrialization. The production was first being plowed by a cow, then the second plowed by a machine. This type of production shows the major improvement in machinery. As the land mass for higher production grew, more use of machinery, means fewer need of people, leading to people getting kicked out and loss of jobs. When they became unemployed workers, they searched for jobs in the city. The jobs they found with the little experience they had, were in factories. The types of jobs were spinning, cutting, and sewing. These jobs were conducted on a production line, meaning they would do the same things everyday. Because of high demand, they would work long hours, for so little pay, have few to no breaks, no vacations, and would continue to work even when they were injured because it was their source of income.

Chapter 16: THe Globalization of Christianity

1500- Christianity was mainly in Europe. There was 2 divisions in Christianity. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox. The Protestant Reformation began in 1517. Where martin Luther posted the 95 Theses. Luther was one of many who criticized the Roman Catholic Church. He put forth a new understanding of salvation as coming through faith alone rather then depending on good works, with the Bible, not church teaching, as the source of religious authority. SOme of Luther's ideas gave a new religious legitimacy to the middle class, and commoners followed on to the new religious ideas as a tool for protest again the whole social order. Christianity had expanded overseas thanks to the Spaniards and Portuguese. It had spread through Asia and the Americas. The religion and culture in China is different than the Europeans. They believed in Buddhist, Confucianism, and Hindu. The enlightenment era and  scientific revolution ideas would eventually reach Europe. The enlightenment thinkers believed that the human body are the realistic depictions of art.

Chapter 21

Chapter 21 discussed major events such as World War I, World War II, The Great Depression, and the beginning of the Holocaust.


WWI or the Great War was from 1914- 1918. This war is said to be the start of the Great Depression by the rise of Nazi and the horror of the Holocaust. The Great War was "a European civil war with a global reach". Alliances we formed, Triple Alliance consisted of Germany, Austria, and Italy, and Triple Entente consisted of Russia, France, and Britain. By the creation of these alliances, it created WWI or the Great War. Some factors of what contributed to the outbreak of the war were popular nationalism, industrial millitarism, and Europe's colonial empires. It was expected to be a quick war and Germany was defeated in November 1918. The war left disillusionment among intellectuals leading to questionings of the Enlightenment values and the superiority of the West and its science. The Great Depression was hit in 1929. It caused the contracting of stock prices to wipe out paper fortunes, many lose their life savings, the world trade dropped 62% within just a few years, and unemployment soared reaching 30% in Germany and the US. The Great Depression in the US was caused from the factories and farms making more goods than can actually be sold, the impoverishment of Europe by WWI caused Europe not purchasing American products, and Europe was recovering and producing more of their own goods, thus not exporting items. The Depression also created challenges for the governments because capitalist governments had thought that the economy would regulate itself, the Soviet Union's economy had grown throughout the 1930s and some states turned to "democratic socialism" with greater regulation of the economy and more equal distribution of wealth. The Holocaust took shape in 1889-1945 under the rule of Hitler.
