Just 29 years after America defeated its mother country Great Britain, they were at war with them again. Washington issued a proclamation asking his countrymen to be impartial to Britain and France. Then John Adams agreed to the convention of 1800, which ended the alliance between the U.S. and France. After Adams, Jefferson created the Embargo of 1807 because France and Britain was violating the U.S.’s trading rights, seizing cargoes, and kidnapping sailors. The embargo failed to make Britain respect America’s trading rights, so when James Madison can into presidency in 1809 he had the same problem.
In 1312 CE Mansa Musa took the throne as sultan of Mali. Then, in 1324CE Mansa created a hajj, or pilgrimage that he would take to Islam’s holy city, Mecca. His hajj consisted of a caravan of 60,000 people, plenty of camels and pounds of gold. In the beginning of the renaissance, Mansa Musa and his hajj went on the journey to Mecca because the Qur’an obligates the creation of the hajj, Musa wanted to expand the wealth of his empire through trade and he also wanted to strengthen ties to other muslim nations. Mansa Musa and his hajj went to Mecca because it is a requirement of the Islamic religion stated in the Qur’an.
Asoka did lots of things for his empire. Whether it was giving to people, making sure everyone was happy and healthy, even killing to protect his empire. Therefore, this shows that Asoka, an Indian leader, was an enlightened ruler. The information I have is from a packet called Mini-Q’s. Asoka was an enlightened ruler because he just wanted the best for his empire, rejected violence, and cared for the environment and human health.
Asoka was the ruler of the Mauryan Empire, which consisted of almost all of India, from 273 BCE to 232 BCE. Once he conquered Kalinga, Asoka felt guilty and sought to find a guru to find enlightenment. After sitting beneath the Bodhi tree, Asoka emerged as a more fulfilling leader. Throughout his life, he proved himself to be an enlightened ruler by converting to Buddhism, creating the Asokan edicts, giving gifts to the poor, and devotedly improving his empire.
Many people may say that Asoka was a ruthless conqueror because of his conquest of Kalinga which was a bloody battle where many people died and many more were driven out of their country, but I bet the evidence I will show you will make you believe he was an enlightened ruler. From 268 BCE to 232 BCE Asoka was the ruler of the Mauryan Empire, which is now known as India. During that time many of his actions shows that he was enlightened. First, the conquest of Kalinga which many people think was ruthless was something that the Mauryan people needed so I believe that battle was one of an enlightened ruler rather than a ruthless conqueror. Asoka can also be considered an enlightened ruler because he went on a pilgrimage looking for a teacher and after finding a Buddhist monk and following his instructions he was able to understand history, reject violence, and form ideas that had never been thought of before.
For instance, Romila Thaper argues that Asoka discontinued his indulgence in wars after witnessing the horrific battles during the conquest of Kalinga. This establishes that Asoka was an informed individual because he changed his mindset due to the weight that his actions placed on his mind. Asoka felt bad for the people that were killed because of his violent battles so he attempted to take responsibility for his wrongdoings by completely halting his aggressive ways. Additionally, Asoka lives up to his title as an enlightened ruler because he became a Buddhist. According to historian Micheal Wood, Asoka set off on a journey to find a teacher or a guru.
The creation of the United States is considered by many to be a great experiment in democracy. After the War of 1812, America was filled with tremendous nationalism and as the young country grew, many nations look to it as both an inspiration and a warning. Americans seemed united behind their president James Monroe, who was elected in 1816 and then ran uncontested for his second term in 1820. However, even during this time there were many discussions and arguments within the nation’s own government regarding the benefits of democracy.
Alexander the Great, Hero or Villain? Alexander the Great was a major world conquerer, who controlled over 22 million square miles of land by the end of his journey.

Jack Ma once said, “The world needs new leadership, but the new leadership is about working together.” This could not be more true at Boston University through its Kilachand Honors College.

In this program you are learning with different individuals who have different interest and fields of study. According to Pew Research Center, “Political polarization is the defining feature of early 21st century American politics...”.
Reading Summary – A Buddhism Experience For my Reading Summary assignment, I chose an article from our Week Six readings, “Buddhism; An Introduction,” featured on PBS Online. It is believed that the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama, who ultimately created a kind and introspective religion, came from an unlikely family who enjoyed an extravagant lifestyle and whose father was an Indian warrior-king. Guatama lived from approximately 566 to 480 B.C. He sought to understand the true meaning of the world that he lived in only after becoming uninterested with the indulgences of his majestic existence. He set out on a journey, sans the accouterments of his imperial life, and through his experiences of “encountering an old man, an ill man,
