The aspects and the motives of the crusades have caused heated debates where historians are determining the major motives of the Crusades. The Crusades were primarily caused by religious devotion, political gain and economic benefit. The question was that, which of the two factors had served as more of a catalyst. The Crusades were constructed on the basis of devoting to the religion of Christianity and leaders protecting their people and the future of their empire and leadership. Despite there being two motives, the aspect of religious devotion outweighs political gain and economic benefits.…

One of the long term affects was it hardened Muslims feelings against the Franks and thhe millions of non-western christians who had previously lived peacefully in Egypt and Syria. Muslims viewed the Crusades as brave but uncivilized warriors. The Crusades was intended to regain control of The Holy Land and to defend Christendom, not to convert. The long term effects of the crusades helped to solidify Europe as a colonial power,forced christianity and many indigenous people. Allowed unbalanced control throughout Europe over both politicaa and economic well being of the continent. Theyy also amplified the wars that are still going on today, but did increase communications between otherwise isolated communities which allowed Europe to flourish to trade with Middle East with products like sugar, lemons etc. becoming available forthe first time in Europe. Also exploration of the World increased, the crusades also furthered the rapid growth of money, economy of banking and new methods of taxation. During the Crusades the European Christians attacked and occupied the Holy Land. They oppressed Muslims. It was a period of bloodshed,hostility, and violence. Crusades ended long ago but the reminents of those stereotypes have taken on new meaning, like Muslims are still bloodthirsty,violent savages bymost of the mainstream medias standards. The propagation of these views on the collective level through the media had affected Muslims globally and locally. Muslims in America, while living peacefully with christians and other religious groups are still subject to discrimination in varying degrees, harrassment and violence.

In the case of the Crusades, the true jurisdictional limitation of the Church of Rome’s authoritative order was infinite beyond that of state or feudal control. It would seem that an “infinite jurisdiction” by any entity is unjust! The only possible rationale for having such unlimited authority would be an innate belief in “entitlement” or “unrestricted sovereignty.”…

The Crusades were important to the people of Europe for several reasons. The most important reason is that they were an attempt to defend against Muslim conquests of Christian lands. The Crusades also provided many opportunities to the people of Europe that ultimately contributed to many improvements of their society.

The reform crusades of the 19th century resulted in a number of positive revolutionary changes in the American culture.…

Politics plays a huge role in everyone’s lives and is always a topic of discussion in today’s society. Peoples political views differ from one side of the spectrum to the other and there is really no right or wrong view, it is all personal opinion. Even the term politics has multiple definitions out there that are accepted by some and rejected by others. Dyck defines politics as “The activity in which conflicting interests struggle for advantage or dominance in the making and execution of public policies.” (Dyck, Rand, 2012). Some people believe this is a proper definition of politics while others disagree and believe other definitions are more appropriate. This paper will illustrate examples that support Dyck’s definition and how it can be…
Throughout history people have protested for many things such as human rights, equality, moral dilemmas, war and taxes. To publicize what they are protesting, they get their point across through many different mediums, such as, signs, literature, television shows and songs just to name a few. “Viva La Vida” which at the surface might not seem like a protest song but is rich with objections to religion. Chris Martin wrote “Viva La Vida” after a religious fallout in his life, in which he doubted the credibility of religion and he incorporated those thoughts into his song. The song later grew to become a huge hit but was sadly misinterpreted…
