    ancient civilizations

    Ancient China was a country that was impacted by its geographic features. Ancient China was a very large country. China’s physical features were very greatly impacted by the contact of other cultures. Some of ancient China’s physical features that prevented them from having contact with other cultures were its large mountains and deserts. This had a good and a bad side to it. The good side was that China was well protected from intruders. However, the bad side to this was that it was it more difficult for China to have contact with other cultures. (Document 2). This also led to China becoming very ethnocentric. Yu was a very important figure in ancient China. Ancient China was in need for water since it was surrounded by deserts and mountains. The solution Yu had to this problem was that he opened passages for the streams throughout the provinces and deepened the existing channels and canals as well as directing them to the streams (Document 4).…

    Although both the Harappan and the Minoan civilizations disappeared, the civilizations had some of the greatest religions, writings and laws, and evident social hierarchy and city structure. Ancient civilizations are fascinating, brilliant, beautiful, and harsh. Each civilization had a quality that made it special, but each civilization also had a quality that made it horrible. The Harappan and Minoan, both civilizations people know virtually nothing about, were one of few ancient civilizations that we get the pleasure of knowing about.…

    Asian Influences on the Filipino Culture

    Before the Spanish period, the archipelagoes of Southeast Asia were under the influence of traders from the Hindu-Malayan culture, such as theMajapahit Empire, which was then supplanted by Islamic :D teaching by Muslims traders from Gujarat, India. Influences from the Indian subcontinent may be traced earlier to before the arrival of the Arabs and the Europeans during the 15th and 16th centuries respectively. The rulers of many of the islands were called Rajas, or Rajahs. An example would be the Visayas, said to be named after the last Southeast Hindu Prince Srivijaya.…

    Reaction Paper on Prehispanic Philippines' Class, Structure, and Order

    The nature and force of human to put order into various things is strong in this topic. This phenomenon of organizing is as ancient as history itself. Even before the birth of colonialism, several groups of people had already established an organization to live much easier and to control the ever growing population of the human race. One can also account this strategic technique in the ancient times of our archipelago (what would be called now as the Philippines), the formation of barangay and the theories that says it had originated from the coastal settlements created by the migration of Malayo-Polynesian people. But even so, the negritos or aetas who were the first settlers in the archipelago had also build their own communities to ease up hunting and also for protection.…

    History of the Philippines

    In 1902, Burnham designed a U-shaped government complex within Luneta. Only three buildings were however constructed: the Executive House occupied by the National Museum, the Department of Finance Building which now houses the Museum of the Filipino People, and the Department of Tourism Building envisioned to become the future Museum for Natural Sciences. When we visited the National Museum we saw beautiful paintings and sculptures made by our great artists. We will never forget the huge great work of art of Juan Luna's Spolarium the very famous one. The tour has been inspiring, educational, and well worth it. We really enjoyed the tour and also with the help of Ochie's father. He is the one who tour us inside the museum. Behind the paintings and sculptures we know that it has a lot of stories and insights that they want to express. We appreciate and learn how this masterpiece inspired our brave Filipinos including our national heroes Jose Rizal to alter their lives and helped in the formation of our nation.…

    History of the Philippines

    The history of the Philippines is believed to have begun with the arrival of the first humans using rafts or primitive boats, at least 67,000 years ago as the 2007 discovery of Callao Man showed. Spanish colonization and settlement began with the arrival of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi's expedition on February 13, 1565 who established the first permanent settlement of San Miguel on the island of Cebu. The expedition continued northward reaching the bay of Manila on the island of Luzon on June 24, 1571, where they established a new town and thus began an era of Spanish colonization that lasted for more than three centuries. Spanish rule achieved the political unification of almost the whole archipelago, that previously had been composed by independent kingdoms, pushing back south the advancing Islamic forces and creating the first draft of the nation that was to be known as the Philippines. The Philippine Revolution against Spain began in August 1896, culminating the establishment of the First Philippine Republic. However, the Treaty of Paris, at the end of the Spanish–American War, transferred control of the Philippines to the United States. This agreement was not recognized by the insurgent First Philippine Republic Government which, on June 2, 1899, proclaimed a Declaration of War against the United States. The Philippine-American War which ensued resulted in massive casualties. Philippine president Emilio Aguinaldo was captured in 1901 and the U.S. government declared the conflict officially over in 1902.…

    The Origin of the Philippines

    The Origin of the Philippines

    The Philippines is a country of Southeast Asia, with its 7,107 islands strewn over the Western Pacific Ocean, approximately 13 N of the equator and 122 E of Greenwich. Its collective land area is about 300,000 sq. km, about the size of the state of Arizona. This island archipelago is one of the most megadiverse countries in the world, housing over 5% of the entire world’s flora in an area not even 1% of the world’s total. An estimated 10,000 to 11,000 species of plants are believed to occur in the Philippines and likely many more if the tropical forests were fully explored and documented. Over half of the named plants are endemic. This high level of endemism is also present in the animals. Forty-four percent of its vertebrate species and almost 70% of its insects are also found nowhere else in the world Among the world’s 25 top biological hotspots the Philippines ranks second in the number of species per square kilometer, thus the endemic species are concentrated in exceptionally small areas Only 7% of its old growth closed-canopy forests remain from over 60% in 1945. With so many islands, the Philippines surpass Hawaii and the Galapagos in species biodiversity and endemism, and would be the perfect system to understand why it is a cauldron of evolution. In fact, the Philippines has been described as tenfold more diverse than Galapagos. As predicted by Wilson and MacArthur’s theory of island biogeography, different island sizes, ages and distance from mainland Asia have influenced colonization, extinction, and diversification rates of Philippine biota. These island features coupled with their individual geological histories throughout the Cenozoic may hold the answer as to why the Philippines Is one of the world’s most biodiversity regions.…

    One of the most effective approaches to helping young children develop literacy skills is to have a home environment that supports literacy. Research clearly shows that instructional environments have a powerful impact on children’s growth in reading. While much of the research on instructional environments focuses on classroom environments, researchers believe that the same effects may be found in supportive home environments. On this subject, Rasinki and Fredricks (two famous researchers) write: “It seems clear to us that home environments for reading and writing should be given at least equal consideration.”…
