With the views of the religious peoples during Elizabeth’s reign leaning towards negativity about a woman ruler, Elizabeth I responded to these challenges against her ability to rule wisely with sophisticated anger and strong leadership, while not responding to the challenges to her authority as a religious leader.

The connotation of the word terror has changed drastically from the 18th century to now due to the prominent terrorist groups, such as ISIS, in today’s society. This is due to the fact that in the 18th century terror most prominently meant the act of inflicting terror upon others, while today terror is often associated with acts of terrorism. Rediker states that there were two types of terror during the “golden age”, including terror conducted by the states and terror inflicted by the pirates. The buildup of states and pirates being portrayed as terrorists was inevitable due to the self interests of colonial empires. The beginning of pirates being seen as terrorist is evident in Document one by Excellencies Command Isaac Addington.

Both of these times were full of confusion and lying which lead to the temporary downfall of the authority at that time. Joseph McCarthy proved to be a factor in this time and add on to the chaos that was America. Arthur Miller wrote about these times in a book called The Crucible, based on the witch trial era.
Modern China is simply a recycled version of old China because it follows the same political patterns as when China was governed by an emperor and because of the boundaries and restrictions it created, and continue to create.
