How did geography and trade contribute to the growth of the Muslim Empire, the spread of Islam
and the achievements of the Golden Age?
So the Spread of Islam happened because the Arab merchants traveled to so many parts in Asia and north Africa, and mostly also by the Mediterranean Coast. Most of these Muslims were traders, and that is also how they spread their new religious beliefs.They eventually succeeded because in the age before Muhammad Arab people were not able to conquer the other countries. The Golden Age was from about 800 to 1100. So the Achievements of the Arab scholars not only created work space for others but they also studied history and got ideas from other cultures. This success led to more advanced mathematics, science, and literature. Arab scholars studied Greek and Indian Mathematics (hard!). The mathematician al-kharzime wrote a book about the Indian arithmetic and he also advanced algebra. Poetry was very important to the Muslim world and so was literature. The Poets were treated very well, almost like a musician or celebrity today.

You have't used much specific terms in your journal or any concrete details to back up your thoughts. You added a bit of details, but not too much to prove your knowledge and understanding of the topic. I'm pretty sure you wrote this from the top of your head, not bothering to look for any facts in your notes or in the text we read. The answers weren't clear and I was unable to recognize them as a full answer, but they were mostly partial.
ReplyDeleteOverall, I think you could have done this journal better, and the ways you could improve this is by using more relevant facts, improving your "mini-essay" structure, and organizing this, as well as writing in full sentences. Nice try.
By the way, the comment you made about Indian Mathematics could be considered racist, therefore I suggest you remove it if you're going to re-do your blogpost. :)
