Kania Rimu is a goal-setter but more importantly, a go-getter. I met Kania in 2012 while she was in the 9th grade and, she was a very shy and unassuming young lady, very much someone who would blend into the background. In 2015, she is not that girl. As quickly as 2013 rolled in, Kania made a name for herself, by pushing for the chance to take two advanced math classes at the same time. Although this may seem like an easy feat, it is an abnormality at Forest Hills High School.

Beginning in the fourteenth century, Ottoman Empire presented not only ideally and intellectually an Other to Europe, but also a very physical one, in that the Empire's system of government, the social environment and the way of doing "things" were all different. Yapp signifies that Christians were better informed of Muslims rather than reverse, because Muslims had an aversion to "wicked" Western people, and to whom, they have decided to remain ignorant until the late eighteenth century1. One historical example of difference often discussed was that Ottoman society was in fact more open than what was perceived by Europeans, because Turkish culture was an integrated Islamic and Mediterranean culture, which had strong beliefs in religion

In the Ottoman Empire, the tulip was the sultan’s symbol because the elite of this society so greatly admired the flower’s “bold colors and graceful blooms.” The tulip reflected the elegance and prestige enjoyed by the Ottomans in the 18th century, however, this prosperity was not enjoyed worldwide. For instance, in Western Europe, poverty was widespread, a supposed “punishment for being infidels.” This was a stark contrast to the Ottoman Empire, whose wealth and prosperity at this time, dubbed the “Tulip Period”, was available even to the commoners, who enjoyed taverns and coffeehouses. The Ottomans enjoyed, and had great demand, for what are today’s simple pleasures - lemons, soap, pepper, coffee, and wine, for example.

With the rise of civilization also came the rise of patriarchy-based societies and the slow decline of the importance of women in society. For the longest time the history of the world has been written by men who have been the head of the patriarchy and have forgotten the role of women in history.

One of the many reasons why the Ottoman culture became a well-organized empire was its social hierarchy system. The Ottoman social class had the commander on top (sultan) and the slaves on the bottom (rayyah) but however, a person’s social level could change anytime, unlike other caste systems in Japan or Britain where people stayed at the same level for the duration of their lives.
