World Religions, Geography and the Renaissance – day4 Interactive Map

18 Location  Geographers use latitude and longitude to pinpoint a place’s absolute, or exact, location.  To know the absolute location of a place is only part of the story. It is also important to know how that place is related to other places—in other words, to know that place’s relative location. Relative location deals with the interaction that occurs between and among places.  It refers to the many ways—by land, by water, even by technology—that places are connected.

19 Place  All places have characteristics that give them meaning and character and distinguish them from other places on earth. Geographers describe places by their physical and human characteristics.  Physical characteristics include such elements as animal life. Human characteristics of the landscape can be noted in architecture, patterns of livelihood, land use and ownership, town planning, and communication and transportation networks.  Languages, as well as religious and political ideologies, help shape the character of a place.  Studied together, the physical and human characteristics of places provide clues to help students understand the nature of places on the earth.

20 Human/Environment Interaction  The environment means different things to different people, depending on their cultural backgrounds and technological resources.  In studying human/environment interaction, geographers look at all the effects—positive and negative—that occur when people interact with their surroundings.  Sometimes a human act, such as damming a river to prevent flooding or to provide irrigation, requires consideration of the potential consequences.

21 Movement  People interact with other people, places, and things almost every day of their lives.  They travel from one place to another; they communicate with each other; and they rely upon products, information, and ideas that come from beyond their immediate environment.

22

23 Region  Region is an area on the earth’s surface that is defined by certain unifying characteristics.  The unifying characteristics may be physical, human, or cultural. In addition to studying the unifying characteristics of a region, geographers study how a region changes over times.  Using the theme of regions, geographers divide the world into manageable units for study.

24 Religions of the World

45 Renaissance  Renaissance Mentality (cont.)  Renaissance Man Men were expected to create art and master all areas of study Men that excelled in these areas were called a “Universal man” or “Renaissance Man”

46 Baldassare Castiglione’s The Courtier  Let the man we are seeking be very bold, stern, and always among the first, where the enemy are to be seen; and in every other place, gentle, modest, reserved, above all things avoiding ostentation {showiness} and that impudent {bold} self praise by which men ever excite hatred and disgust in all who hear them.  What is he saying here?  If you wanted to hire a man like this, what would the “Want Ad” say?

47 The personal ad for him may read… Looking for a man who is charming, witty, and well educated in the classics. He must be able to dance, sing, play music, write poetry, ride horses well, wrestle, and be a fine swordsman. He must be brave in battle yet humble outside of battle.

48 Renaissance Literature and Politics  Literature and Politics  Niccolo Machiavelli An Italian political philosopher Wrote The Prince in 1513 While somewhat controversial, his political philosophy is still studied and used often in today’s world “The end justifies the means.” “… there are two methods of fighting, the one by law, the other by force: the first method is that of men, the second of beasts; but as the first is often insufficient, one must have recourse to the second…”

49 Sir Thomas More  Wrote Utopia – a book that describes the perfect place  the perfect place is based on humanist notions of reason, fairness, community  Religious freedom is important  Need to work towards a good and comfortable and fair life for all citizens

60 Problems in church  Corruption in all levels of the church  Poor education of clergy  Clergy up to pope focused on worldly pursuits rather than just religion  Resistance to taxation by the newly secular merchant class and aristocracy

61 Reformation  Reformation Overview  European Christian reform movement that established Protestantism as a branch of contemporary Christianity  Began as an attempt to reform a corrupt Catholic Church Teaching and sales of indulgences  Sparked when Martin Luther published the Ninety-Five Theses & concluded in 1648 with the Treaty of Westphalia that ended years of European religious wars

62 Protestant Branches

63 Reformation  Martin Luther  Nailed Ninety-Five Theses to door of All Saint’s Church (maybe not) Theses criticized Catholic Church and Pope but concentrated on: Selling of indulgences Doctrinal policies about purgatory, particular judgment, devotion to Mary and the saints, most of the sacraments, & clerical celibacy Several reformists followed his lead with help of the printing press

64

65 LUTHERAN RELIGION  Ministers (Administers) rather than Priests could marry  No holy relics in Church (no crucifixes) or statues  Services and Bible in German  Prayers of confession and people encouraged to directly communicate with God

66 Catholic Church responds  Pope Leo X demands Martin Luther renounce his Theses upon pain of excommunication.  Luther is tried at the Diet of Worms, refuses to renounce and is excommunicated.  Holy Roman Emperor Charles V issues Edict of Worms – no one can help Luther

67 Reformation spreads  Luther’s reform call leads peasants to revolt against abuse and corruption in their churches and the princes who were connected to the church.  Luther does not support the peasants – is appalled at their attempt to change the social order  Princes massacre the peasants, with Luther’s blessing – 100,000 killed

68 Layout of European Christendom

69 Political effects in Germany of Reformation  Princes liked the ideas of Luther – some for religious reasons, many for political ones  Protesting princes declared sovereignty from Holy Roman Empire – Charles V began a war to force the Schmalkaldic League to remain Catholic in the HRE  War ended with HRE’s victory, but the Peace of Augsburg which calls for tolerance of Lutheranism and some other protestants (but not Calvinists or Anabaptists)

70 Reformation  Reformation Outside Germany  Henry VIII (England) Henry VIII desire for a male heir and divorce prompted the creation of Church of England Marriage to Catherine of Aragon produced female heir (Mary I) Religious changes slower in England than elsewhere  middle way between Roman Catholic Church & Protestant Traditions Henry VII: Six wives whom he beheaded!

71 Reformation  Reformation Outside of Germany  Henry VIII (England) cont. Act of Supremacy King head of church and state Pope has no authority All church lands sold to nobles People forced to covert from Catholicism to Anglican

72 Reformation: Bloody Mary Eldest daughter of Henry VIII and only surviving child of Catherine of Aragon. As the fourth crowned monarch of the Tudor dynasty, she is remembered for restoring England to Roman Catholicism after succeeding her short-lived half brother, Edward VI, to the English throne. In the process, she had almost 300 religious dissenters burned at the stake in the Marian Persecutions, earning her the sobriquet of "Bloody Mary". Her re- establishment of Roman Catholicism was reversed by her successor and half-sister, Elizabeth I.

76 The Catholic Counter-Reformation  Jesuits under Ignatious of Loyola present some church reforms like building schools, gaining new converts and fighting against protestants  At the Council of Trent, 3 different Popes defined Church teachings and opposed protestants in the areas of:  Scripture and Tradition  Original Sin, Justification,  Sacraments,  the Eucharist in Holy Mass and  the veneration of saints but mostly just reaffirm Church doctrine

77 Reformation  Effects of Reformation  Led to series of religious wars that culminated (ended) in the Thirty Years’ War that ended with the Peace of Westphalia  New religions (in particular, Calvinism and other Protestant sects) effectively forbade wastefully using hard earned money and identified the purchase of luxuries a sin  Weakened the Catholic Church and promoted new states’ powers outside of religion

78 EXPLORATION Renaissance Reformation Science Enduring Understandings 1. Geography themes of location, place, movement, human-environment interaction and region are useful tools for understanding history and current events. 2. A society’s values can be seen through their cultural and scientific achievements 3. Challenges to the social and political order frequently come from radical new ideas. Warm-up - Review homework questions – do you have any questions? 1.Using the last section of the reformation.doc, with a partner, draw a cartoon that shows a discussion between several of the major players during the reformation. 2.Identify 5 new ideas during the Renaissance and Reformation that challenged the existing order and then explain the impact each has had on the world today. 3.Describe the benefits and detriments of Columbian Exchange. 4.Create a flow chart of the causes and effects of exploration – make sure to include information from the rest of the unit. 5.Add a frame or two to your reformation cartoon that addresses the connection to exploration

79 Beginning of the Modern World  “Modern” Globalization  Phase of increasing trade links and cultural exchange in 19 th century  Columbian Exchange- widespread exchange of animal, plants, culture (slaves), communicable diseases and ideas between Eastern and Western hemispheres

80 Why explore?  Exploration occurred for three basic reasons 1. Trade – seeking wealth in competition with other countries 1. Based on the idea of mercantilism – the power of a country is based on its wealth and the way to achieving wealth for a country is to get gold and silver and to have a trade surplus 2. Spread Christianity 3. Technological advancements made it possible.

81 Who explored?  Spain  Portugal  England  Netherlands (the Dutch)

82 Who did it?

83 Results of exploration?  Major global empires for the 4 big exploring countries  Beginning of colonization  African slave trade and all of its negative consequences  Exploitation and mass killings of natives in the colonies  Exportation of European ideas including religion  Great wealth – Spain and Portugal from gold, England and the Dutch through trade

84 SCIENTIFIC REVOLUTION Enduring Understandings 1. A society’s values can be seen through their cultural and scientific achievements 2. Challenges to the social and political order frequently come from radical new ideas.

85 Revolutionary Thinking  The Renaissance and Reformation inspired people to challenge the accepted scientific views of ancient thinkers and the church  Geocentric theory widely accepted prior to this period

86 Scientific Revolution  What was the Scientific Revolution?  Scholars/scientists questioned accepted ideas about nature, earth and the universe  Old Science v. New Science Old Science based on religion and belief NEW SCIENCE based on math, logic, reason, observation and data Inductive reasoning – observing and understanding specific facts to develop a general theory

87

88 Scientific Revolution  Influences  Renaissance Education of the Classics Secularism Criticisms of the Catholic Church  Exploration Drive to better understand tides, weather, winds, currents, Foreign technology-astrolabe

89 Scientific Revolution  New Discoveries  Heliocentric Theory –sun-centered universe  Advancements in Medicine—vaccinations  Scientific Instruments Microscope Telescope  Law of Gravity  Chemistry  biology

90  Theories on the Universe  2 nd C. AD- Ptolemy recorded the earth was the center of the universe—Geocentric Theory Scientific Revolution

91  Theories of the Universe  1548-Nicholas Copernicus challenges Ptolemy’s geocentric theory and proves the Heliocentric Theory Scientific Revolution

92  Theories of the Universe  Johannes Kepler (1600s)—takes the Heliocentric Theory and perfects it with the Laws of Planetary Motion One law states that the planets orbit the sun in elliptical orbits not circular orbits Scientific Revolution

93  Francis Bacon urged scientists to draw conclusions of the world based on their own observations  Rene Descartes believed that everything should be doubted until proven by reason “I think, therefore I am.”  Newton explains law of gravity through scientific method  Boyle describes the relationship between volume, pressure and temperature

94 Importance  This so-called revolution was important because scientists use these approaches today – it is from scientific reasoning that our lives are longer, healthier and filled with so much useful technological developments  Influenced others to study all aspects of society—government, religion, economics, education, etc.

How may these Enlightened ideas change the world? 2.9/11 and fire drills 3.Complete graphic organizer of the key enlightenment philosophersgraphic organizer enlightenment 4.With which philosopher do you have the closest connection? 5.Questions from review sheet? Unit Test tomorrow Enduring Understandings 1. A society’s values can be seen through their cultural and scientific achievements 2. Challenges to the social and political order frequently come from radical new ideas.

97 Enlightenment  Enlightenment Overview  People try to apply the scientific approach to all aspects of society  Political scientists propose new ideas about government  Philosophes (philosophers) advocate the use of reason to discover truths Address social issues through reason

98 Enlightenment  Causes  Ideals of the Renaissance Individualism, secularism, rebirth of classical teachings  Scientific Revolution Logic, reason, mathematics New way of thinking based on willingness to question assumptions  Absolutism Reaction to government of total control Questioning of Theory of Divine Right

99 Characteristics of Enlightened Thought Ideas incorporating the themes listed below were heavily discussed during this era  REASON-justification  HAPPINESS-What makes people happy?  LIBERTY-freedoms  PROGRESS-tolerance, diversity, science  NATURE- outside (plants, earth, universe, etc) and inside (emotion, human interactions, etc)

100 THE SALON A) Serious workroom of philosophy B) Various people, all educated C) Women sharp and witty

101 A graphic organizer of the philosophes Identify who, where and the key ideas of each of the following Hobbes Locke Montesquieu Rousseau Voltaire Wollstonecraft Adam Smith Beccaria Enlightenment thinkers

102 Thomas Hobbes Human existence is "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short" Living through the brutal English civil wars in the 17 th century, Hobbes was very cynical about human nature. He wrote in the Leviathan that humans are selfish and wicked. Without government, there would be “war of all against all.” Therefore, absolute monarchies are created through a social contract to keep the mean, nasty men from killing each other.

103 John Locke "Government has no other end than the preservation of property.” He postulated that the mind was a "blank slate" or "tabula rasa“; people are born without innate ideas Believed that human nature is characterized by reason and tolerance Two Treatises of Government had a profound influence on the writing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution People have god-given rights that are inviolable People will voluntarily, through a social contract, create a government to protect their god-given rights If government violates the social contract, then the people have the right to change the government "Wherever Law ends, Tyranny begins."

104 Voltaire “Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”  His intelligence, wit and style made him one of France’s greatest writers and philosophers  He was attracted to the philosophy of John Locke and ideas of Sir Isaac Newton  In favor of religious tolerance and interested in the study of the natural sciences Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do. God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh. If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent him. It is dangerous to be right when the government is wrong. Love truth and pardon error.

105 Voltaire Judge of a man by his questions rather than by his answers. Men are equal; it is not birth, but virtue that makes the difference. Prejudice is opinion without judgment. The way to become boring is to say everything. I may not agree with what you have to say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

106 Jean –Jacques Rousseau “Never exceed your rights, and they will soon become unlimited.”  Contended that man is essentially good, a "noble savage" when in the "state of nature"  Good people are made unhappy and corrupted by their experiences in society  Most important work is "The Social Contract" that describes the relationship of man with society “ Man is born free, but everywhere he is in chains.”

107 Jean –Jacques Rousseau  The right kind of political order could make people truly moral and free.  Individual moral freedom could be achieved only by learning to subject one’s individual interests to the “General Will.”  Individuals did this by entering into a social contract not with their rulers, but with each other.  This social contract was derived from human nature, not from history, tradition, or the Bible.  People would be most free and moral under a republican form of government with direct democracy.

108 Adam Smith “Consumption is the sole end and purpose of all production; and the interest of the producer ought to be attended to, only so far as it may be necessary for promoting that of the consumer.”  Scottish philosopher and economist famous for his book, “The Wealth of Nations” written in 1776  Profound influence on modern economics and concepts of individual freedom  Father of modern capitalism and influential in the formulation of American Capitalism 1.Economic liberty guarantees economic progress 2.Government needs to stay out of economics because: 1.Buyers will buy 2.Sellers will sell 3.Each will participate in economics out of their own self-interest 4.Harmony will results

109 Montesquieu  Liberty is the key for successful government, but liberty is often eroded by power in the hands of government  He is famous for his articulation of the theory of separation of powers in government; executive, legislative and judicial  Separated power would lead to checks on power and therefore protecting liberty – developing the theory of checks and balances  largely responsible for the popularization of the terms feudalism and Byzantine Empire “Liberty is the right of doing whatever the laws permit.” -Montesquieu

113 The Origins of Enlightenment? ► RELIGIOUS:  Gradually, highly educated Protestants & Catholics thought more about God’s work as revealed through science, rather than through the Scriptures.  Pantheism  The belief that God and nature are one and the same.
