Geoffrey Parker describes the military revolution as a period between 1500-1750 when changes in tactics, army size, and fortifications transformed the way wars were fought and how they were won1.

Firearms on the battlefield slowly became more present until it became the sole dominant choice of weapon in combat. The size of armies during this period drastically increased, partly because of the need to surround a castle during a siege. The army size of nearly every western power more than doubled during this time…

Don't be a bystander; if you see something say something. Bystanders are people who view a problem between a victim and a bully, but don't do anything to fix it. Bullies often don't notice a problem and continue to bully because others are watching in approval. According to verywell.com, bully victims could get bullied due to poor self-esteem, because they are different or weak in some way. According to Source 1, students get bullied usually when they are better at something. This makes the bully feel like they are lacking talent. Students may become a bully because they want power. Source 1 states, that bullying is one sided meaning the bully has more power over the situation. Being a bystander would be worse than being a bully because, bystanders see the problem, encourage the bully by actions, don't help the bully victim, and they don't stop the bully.…

An ideology is a system of ideas which attempts to explain reality. Ideologies are developed because reality is often too complex to be understood. They also reflect a biased point of view and serve the interests of a particular group. They are created by institutions such as church, state, school, etc. They tell people how to think, speak, feel or act. Ideologies tend either to over-simplify reality or to completely distort it. Ideologies sway people to think a certain way and in doing so they abolish uncertainty and doubt. Ideologies are a fairly modern phenomenon, related to the political and economic circumstances of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Ideologies try to constitute people’s goals, expectations, and actions; they establish a set of ideas proposed by the dominant class of a society to all members of the society to try to control them.…
