Concordat with the papacy.

4. Analyze the causes of French Revolution?

 Although scholarly debate continues about the exact causes of the Revolution, the
following reasons are commonly adduced: (1) the bourgeoisie resented its
exclusion from political power and positions of honor; (2) the peasants were
acutely aware of their situation and were less and less willing to support the
anachronistic and burdensome feudal system; (3) the philosophes had been read
more widely in France than anywhere else; (4) French participation in
the American Revolution had driven the government to the brink of bankruptcy;
(5) France was the most populous country in Europe, and crop failures in much of
the country in 1788, coming on top of a long period of economic
difficulties, compounded existing restlessness; and (6) the French monarchy, no
longer seen as divinely ordained, was unable to adapt to the political and societal
pressures that were being exerted on it.

Lesson 4

Answer the following questions:

1. Explain why the South and Central America sometimes called the Latin America?

 The Latin America consists of Mexico, the Caribbean and most of Central and
South America. In these countries, residents speak mostly Spanish and Portuguese.
These two languages are classified as Romance languages, which are derived from
Latin. So hence the name Latin America.

2. What were the positive and negative effects of the Industrial Revolution?

 The Industrial Revolution had many positive effects. Among those was an
increase in wealth, the production of goods, and the standard of living. People
had access to healthier diets, better housing, and cheaper goods. In addition,
education increased during the Industrial Revolution. negative elements,
including: poor working conditions, poor living conditions, low wages, child
labor, and pollution.

3. Discuss the causes of the Latin American Revolution?

 Many Latin Americans began selling their goods illegally to the British
colonies and, after 1783, U.S. merchants. By the late 18th century, Spain was
forced to loosen some trade restrictions, but the move was too little, too late, as
those who produced these goods now demanded a fair price for them.
4. How did the US, French, and Latin American Revolutions influence the Philippines in
the 19th century?

 The success of the American Revolution showed that foreign rule could be
thrown off. The French Revolution showed that the people could overthrow an
unjust monarch. These two events inspired revolutions in Latin America, which
had profound effects on the Spanish, Portuguese and French colonies in the
Americas

Lesson 5
Answer the following questions:

1. Explain the positive and negative effects of nationalism?

 Positive: people within a nation overcoming their differences for the

common good. Negative: forced assimilation of minority cultures into
a nation's majority culture. Positive overthrow of colonial rule
Negative :ethnic cleansing, such as Bosnia and Herzegovina in the
1990s.Positive :democratic governments in nations throughout the
world. Negative :rise of extreme nationalistic movements, such as
Nazism.

2. How did democracy expand in Britain during the Victorian era?

 At the end of the 18th century Britain was not a democratic
nation. With fewer than one in eight Englishmen entitled to take
part in elections, only a fraction of the people in Britain had the
right to vote. With these changes, new parts of the British
community were given civil and, in some cases, political rights.

3. Compare the way women got the vote in Britain, US and the Philippines. Why is it good
thing to give women more rights? Are there countries where women do not have the right to
vote?
 It leads to better legal protections. Under the law, women aren't well-
protected from domestic sexual and economic violence. Both of these
types of violence affect a woman's safety and freedom. Increasing
women's legal rights keeps them safe and able to build productive happy
lives. There’s only one country where women don’t have the legal right
to vote: Vatican City. This is because there is only one time when people
vote, and that is when the cardinals elect the next Pope. And only men are
cardinals.

4. Why did Russia and Austria remain under absolute kings?

 Because of Absolute monarchy is a form of monarchy in which the monarch

holds supreme autocratic authority, principally not being restricted by written
laws, legislature, or unwritten customs. These are often hereditary monarchies.

Lesson 6
Please answer the following questions concisely.

1. Cite conditions which made Britain the cradle of the Industrial Revolution?
For the Great Britain became a powerful empire because it was the birthplace and
leading force in the Industrial Revolution, which was a cultural and economic shift
from home-based production, traditional agriculture, and manual labor to a system
of factory-based manufacturing that included complex machinery, continual
technological growth, new energy sources, and developments in transportation.

2. Explain how the second stage of the Industrial Revolution reformed workers conditions?

For a small minority of workers, the Second Industrial Revolution introduced

white-collar jobs and growth in the middle class. Though it took very little skill to
operate a machine, it took a lot of skill to design or fabricate a machine, and many
foremen and managers were also needed to oversee production.

3. What were the good and bad effects of the Industrial Revolution?

Although there are several positives to the Industrial Revolution there were also
many negative elements, including: poor working conditions, poor living
conditions, low wages, child labor, and pollution. As a result, this led to horrible
working conditions for the people of the Industrial Revolution.

4. The Industrial Revolution showed the value of inventions and innovations. If you are also
creative and inventive, and if you want to design or invent a new product or process, what
would that be? Explain.

The Creativity and innovation have become the vital point to enhance the value of
entrepreneurship. So that the Creativity help us in how to improve existing
business practice. The Innovation is about making a process that can convert

Lesson 7
Answer the following questions:

1. Distinguish Capitalism, Socialism, Communism in Market Economy?

 Capitalism and socialism are economic systems that countries use to manage their
economic resources and regulate their means of production. Communist
countries, such as China, North Korea, and Cuba, tend toward socialism, while
Western European countries favor capitalist economies and try to chart a middle
course.
2. Why Education was considered important?
 It helps people become better citizens, get a better-paid job, shows the difference
between good and bad. Education shows us the importance of hard work and, at
the same time, helps us grow and develop. Thus, we are able to shape a better
society to live in by knowing and respecting rights, laws, and regulations.
3. How the scientific method made the study of society more accurate and realistic?

 One of the most important features of the scientific method is its repeatability.
The experiments performed to prove a working hypothesis must clearly record all
details so that others may replicate them and eventually allow the hypothesis to
become widely accepted. Sociologists can use the scientific method not only to
collect but also to interpret and analyze the data. The scientific method provides a
systematic, organized series of steps that help ensure objectivity and consistency
in exploring a social problem. They provide the means for accuracy, reliability,
and validity.

4. What is your choice for a career in life? Would you be a scientist, teacher, entrepreneur,
writer, historian, etc.? Or would you be a factory worker? Explain why. What qualities and
character values do you think these important people of history had that enabled them to
succeed?

 I would be a teacher or a police officer because I want to serve to people. Drive.

One of the most defining traits of successful people is their drive. After all,
setting clear goals is one thing. A successful person with a strong sense of drive
is able to work tirelessly, because they believe in their abilities and truly want to
attain their goals.
