Reflections

Eurae Gabriel Pecarana

I have learned a lot in this grading. With the tests done and the christmas vacation upcoming I am really glad that I got to learn a lot about the explorers of europe and the history of exploration and also all about scientific, enlightenment and industrial periods. The topics that I have learned will really be in my mind for a long time for it is a great help to my intellect. I have made a lot of understandings in these knowledgeable topics. Things like freedom, rights, machines, treaties and more, knowing these were really a boost to my intellectual quotient in history and in life. I thank my classmates and especially Sir Rhey Mark H. Diaz for helping me and teaching me a lot throughout this grading and I thank people like the wright brothers , john locke , voltaire , copernicus, newton and a lot more for the discoveries and explorations they have made about our lives. In this I end my reflection and leaving with "I have really learned a lot, thank you".

As a student, it’s my responsibility to fulfil the needs of me being a student by doing the assigned task, listen to the teacher and even be more responsible in life. This third grading, I did learn a lot of things. Starting from the bottom, from the Renaissance Period. Those painters like Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Rafael and so on. I witnessed now how the Christians were before, How the Protestantism arises and made by Martin Luther that divide the Christian world. I also did learn and saw how the nations grew and became a powerful nation like England, Russia, and Spain and so on. How they faced the conflicts in order to be a one whole state or nation. I did also have learned about how the exploration started, which was started mainly by the Portuguese. How the Spain and Portugal divide the world for their exploration and how Ferdinand Magellan circumnavigated the world. How Spain, Portugal, England, France and Netherlands started to colonize other countries. How the Scientific revolution happened, wherein people are starting to question Aristotle’s belief and discoveries that were already been made. How the Enlightenment Period widened up the minds of the people to fight for their own freedom. How inventions were made during Industrial Revolution and technologies starting to improve. How French started to revolt from their government because of the influence of the Enlightenment period. How the Americans also revolt from their government which was ruled by British that time. How the Latin Americans gained their independence from the European colonizers. How Napoleon Bonaparte arise the France that time and made it powerful. To sum it all up, I have learn a lot of knowledge this grading particularly European History.

What I learned is the protestant reformation was the 16^th century religious, political, intellectual and cultural upheal that splintered Catholic Europe, setting in place the structures and beliefs that would define the continent in the modern era. In northern and central Europe, reformers like Marthin Luther, John Calvin and Henry VII challenged papal authority and questioned the Catholic’s ability to define Christian practice. They acquired for religious and political redistribution of power into the hands of Bible- and pamphlet- reading pastors and princes. The disruption trigged wars, persecutions and the so-called Counter-Reformation, the Catholic Church’s delayed but forceful response to the Protestants. The rise of the European nation-state, Most people lived in small villages; they paid tithes to feudal landlords, didn’t travel, and cared little for anything beyond the village. Henry VII wins the war of the roses in England, begins the Tudor dynasty, and starts the development of the English nation-state. Spanish monarchs Ferdinand and Isabelle finish taking balk all of Spain from the Muslims; the era Spain as a global power begins. Ivan the terrible rules Russia; he unifies the government and creates the first Russian nation-state. Louise XIV of France creates an absolute monarchy; France emerges as the dominant power in Europe. The French revolution begins; it creates the modern French nation- states and sparks the nationalism around Europe. European countries began exploring and seeking to dominate the rest of the world during the 15^th centuries, thanks to their ability to control sea routes and to discovery of the American continent. In the 19^th century, energized by the industrial revolution and under pressure from a rapidly growing population.  New areas for the settler desire to “civilize the barbarian nation”. I also learned all about the enlightenment period, its purpose was to reform society using reason, to challenge ideas grounded in tradition and faith, and to advance knowledge through the scientific method. It promoted scientific thought, skepticism, and intellectual interchange. The enlightenment was a revolution in human thought. Notable philosophers included Voltaire, the Baron de Montesquieu and Rossue. Scientific revolution was the emergence of modern science during the early modern period, when developments in mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology and chemistry transformed views of society and nature. Galileo Galilei was the most successful scientist of the scientific revolution, He studied physics, specially he laws of the gravity and motion and invented the telescope and microscope. Industrial Revolution, which took place from the 18^th century to 19^th centuries, was a period during which predominantly agrarian, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban. Industrialization marked a shift to pwered, special purpose machinery, factories and mass production, it also resulted in often grim employment and living conditions for the poor and working classes.

This 3^rd grading period, I’ve learned a lot of things. It helps me a lot and answers all my curiosity about the world history. First, I learned about the growth of nations on how they become powerful that time. Those painters during Renaissance Period, why did the other Christians fight against the church and why did the Protestantism was made. I do also learn some inventors during the Industrial Period, philosophers during the Enlightenment Period and Scientist during Scientific revolution. I learn also about the French revolution and why did they revolt. I learn also about the American Revolution and the Latin- American revolution. Why did the revolt against British, what did trigger the Americans to revolt against the British? Honestly, I learn many things this grading.
