Globalization

Students will compare how the transformation and changes of the post-classical era (Ca. 500 C.E.–1500 C.E.) set in motion the expansion of knowledge through science, language, writing, religion, and technological innovations. They will understand how this created and encouraged a global interconnectedness among distant societies and civilizations that ripples into modern history.
- 6.2.1 Summarize key tenets of the major world religions (including Buddhism, Christianity, Confucianism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Sikhism, Taoism).
- 6.2.2 Use primary and secondary sources to explain how the spread of religious ideas during the post-classical era influenced globalization (for example, spread of Islam, Crusades, cultural expression through art and architecture, Reformation).
- 6.2.3 Identify the most historically significant inventions and innovations from Ca. 500 C.E.–1500 C.E. (for example, printing press/ moveable type, astronomy, medicine), and argue their ongoing importance.
  - Science and technology in early China (6-D.5)
  - The Scientific Revolution (6-O.4)
- 6.2.4 Use maps to trace how geography affected the ability of humans to connect with each other (for example, economic and cultural expansion, development of international trade, spread of disease).
- 6.2.5 Critique how and why systems of governance took steps toward self-rule during the post-classical period (for example, the rise of the merchant class, Magna Carta, feudalism in Europe and Japan).
- 6.2.6 Generalize how the spread of goods and ideas led to the increased influence of China, India, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East on globalization.
