World History

dress codes

One aspect of Chinese dress and fashion was its ability to communicate the wearer’s identity, social status, gender, occupation, and ethnic background. Identify ways in which modern dress allows one to assume such things about others.

If you dress in a suit in public people will automatically assume that you are male and high class but if the suit is ripped or stained people will assume you were rich but you had budget cuts. If you wore a dress in public it would be the same thing. If you live in a trailer people will assume you are poor. while if you live in a mansion people will assume that your rich. If you have a very nice car, people will assume your rich. It’s all based on stereotypes like if your a male wearing pink your a homosexual even if you just like the color pink and are a heterosexual.


Aside

food

While there are often a number of plant varieties, modern humans tend to focus on the mass production of a single strain. Identify the implications of depending on food monoculture.

A type of plant had more than three thousand variety all either wild or domesticated some were even poisonous. There is another type of plant that has more than a hundred different varieties, most of them so poisonous that they had to be dried, pressed, mashed and then they could be eaten. But now with the peanut there less than fifty varieties of itself. Luckily, there are still types of plants we don’t even know about. Someone once did an estimate and I don’t know how much of it is true but the estimate was that we have only found fifteen percent of life on earth. And at least two species die every day. Another use for chilly peppers, it’s spicy element may also be able to be used to help inflammation with arthritis. Just imagine how many foods are able to be used for medicinal purposes.


Barbados

Identify the reasons why Barbados supported the passage of the act abolishing the slave trade.

The Barbados supported the passage of the act abolishing the slave trade because at the start of the colony they depended on native Americans, who were not inhabiting the island for survival skills and for food native to the Barbados and how to prepare it. The native Americans had been exported from Guiana to the Barbados. The native Americans had taught the settlers the thing needed for survival and unlike most settler colonies the settlers actually accepted the fact that they needed the native Americans for survival. With slavery in america the first slavers enslaved native Americans and then they moved to African Americans. The native Americans in the Barbados had also helped the settlers with complete deforestation and with the profit of the colony. When they had heard that there could possibly be an abolition on slavery they had remembered about how the native Americans were slaves.


World History VS. National History

World History is quite literally National History on a way larger scale, with all the nations in mind. World History however since it’s at such a large scale is like broad History or an over look on History while National History focuses on a certain region. With National History though, it only starts when a place becomes a Nation. Take the U.S.A. for example it’s National History started in 1789 whereas world history started everywhere in the world before 30,000 B.C.E. When space travel becomes more common, I am certain that there will be a branch of History called Space History or Universal History. World History is special because it really started when humans first evolved, we just haven’t recovered any artifacts from that time.
