Global Enviroment transformed

Global environments transformed in a lot of ways, one was the explosion of human numbers, an unprecedented quadrupling of the world's population in a single century. Another was the amazing energy potential of fossil fuels. Next the great contribution to environmental transformation and phenomenal economic growth. The three factors were the foundations for the immense environmental transformations of the of the twentieth century. Quite Quickly, the 1970s and 1980s was a spark to developing countries as well. This globalization was great because is was stopping conflicts between countries.

Religion

In sections (740-747) I’ve learn about Religious vitality in the twentieth century. It was expressed in the spread of particular traditions to new areas and also in the vigorous response of those traditions to the modernizing and globalizing world in which they found themselves. To me Islam was one of the most interesting areas they emerged in the late twentieth century witch was permanently etched to Americas’ memory in he image of Osama bin Laden and the destruction of the world trade. In the Islamic world mostly women adopted the religions as man spread around to different parts of the world. Europe is a main one specially because they were all enemies of Christianity itself.  

The Globalization of Liberation: Comparing Feminist Movements

Chapter 24 talks about people witnessing the protest movements around the world, suggesting the emerge of global culture of liberation in the 1960’s. In the developing countries, substantial number of political leaders, activists, scholars, and students developed the notion of a “Third World.” They claimed to pioneer new forms of economic development, of grassroots democracy, and of cultural renewal. No expression of the global culture of liberation held a more profound potential for change than feminism. In the west, organized feminism had lost momentum by the end of the 1920’s, when most countries had achieved universal suffrage. Feminism in the South was not to different from the West females were known as “other.” The most impressive achievement of feminism in the twentieth century was its ability to project the “women’s rights are human rights.”

Accelerating Global Interaction

Chapter 24 concentrates on the twentieth century, when people mainly talked about the immense growth in international economic transactions that took place in the second half of the twentieth century and also continued into the twenty-first. In 1970's globalization started building up, United States and Great Britain had abandoned many early political control on economic activity as people were viewing the world as a single market. Globalization was huge in this years countries were diving up, Mexico was also part of it. Close business and manufacturing ties to the United States, grew much more prosperous then the South. But at the end, economic penetration, political pressure, and periodic military action sought to create societies and governments compatibles with the values and interests of the dominant power, but with out directly governing large populations for long populations for long period of time.

Dolores Huerta

After listening to the Audio i can say Dolores Huerta was such a great person. She struggle a lot in life specially after having eleven kids but never gave up, with her story Dolores made other woman's stronger. In the Audio she talks about her organization helping out undocumented farm workers. Adding to that her organization helped legalize one million four hundred farm workers. Economy is also one of the big points she brought up, she explains how the U.S.A dislikes Hugo Chavez because he did not want to cooperate with us. On the other hand Dolores brings up a good point why did we help Japan and Germany get back up after war when they haven't done nothing for us. Next she talked about Social Justice, as an example she used Hugo Chavez again because he was building clinics for the poor communities from the oil. And lastly Dolores talked about the future in her future she wants to see woman in more power. She wants to see woman have more control so they can stop getting rape or hit by man. But on her point of view things are getting complicated for the reason that girls are getting pregnant at a young age. Dolores hopes things get better because woman deserve to have the same rights as man.

Postal-colonial African and Asian

Chapter 23 talks about the struggles of independence in South Africa and how it compares to the situation in India gaining independence as well. Nelson Mandela was an important person in Africa, he always fought against white domination as well as black domination. Nelson Mandela became South Africa's nationalist leader, his main goal after becoming the leader was to overthrow the apartheid government of his country. Mandela spent about twenty seven years in prison but once he was released he was able to give out a speech and later on South Africa held their first election in which both whites and blacks were able to vote. That election made Mandela the country's first black African president. Although there were many struggles to gain independence they were capable of going through it. On the other hand, Ghandi was born in western India and while being in South Africa he experienced racism for the first time and from then became involved in organizing Indians who were mostly muslims to protest for the country's policies of racial segregation. He was also recognized and admired in the global struggle against the colonial rule.

Chapter 22

Global communism seemed to have been influenced by Karl Marx in the nineteenth century. A lot of European socialist believed that they were able to achieve their goals through the democratic process. Many people during this period wanted to be known as a  “communist” in the late 1900’s but this led a revolution in Europe. Russia was one of the countries to be involved in the revolution during the communist era. The Soviet Union also joined the revolution and united themselves with Russia.  As time passed by, there was a point where communism was very high and most of the world’s population was being governed by communist regimes. The most important communist societies were the USSR and China but it also managed to spread to the eastern side of Europe, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Cuba, Afghanistan. As we can see communism spread in a lot of countries in Europe and parties took control in many different areas.
