Negative Reputations
The Mongols have a negative reputation throughout history and I believe that they deserve that title. They do not deserve respect for creating a civilization with a long term impact on history. They cultivated their civilization by dominating or taking away ideas from other civilizations. Mongols were not an independent civilization. They were known to be the forgotten society due to no importance in bringing up their own ideas in their civilization. Mongols were better known as savage people. They conquered many people and caused them a lot of harm. They did not have a centralized ruler they were more individual not making them a civilization or a united society. Their religion was Muslim which they retrieved from Afghanistan, they did not compromise for this religion on their own beliefs. Later, they were Indian which they established from the Chinese. Mongols were a society that was anything but civil, they did not deserve respect for creating a civilization due to stealing from other civilizations. The Mongols deserve the bad reputation they have.

The Quran
The document of The Quran religious ways and practices, known as the first importance. The Quran shows that one should live in Gods righteousness and to stray away from sin. We must be the best we can be and the best person God intends us to become. We must be noble people and live a glorious life. We have a compassionate God so, we should not do wrong to honor him. The Quran's version Jesus Christ is similar to many other religions, as Mary being his virgin mother and him being the savior. The Quran teaches people to not sin and fill their life with nothing but good actions yet, a topic that stood out to me was "On Men and Women." The Quran wants all men and women to be equal and live with kindness, but it is contradicting. The Quran writes that men are the protectors and women are the obedient because men have more strength. If a women is not obedient or disloyal a man may beat them, showing aggression not equality and kindness. A man's strength does not give him the right to put a hand on a woman, instead he should protect her, not make her scared of his presence. Quran writes if a woman wants to return into her man's life she must show obedience and make sure she does whatever he needs. Which is contradicting when Quran writes, "Nor should you treat them with harshness..." I believe one should not treat their woman with harshness and enforce equality.

Renaissance
China did not experience as big as a Renaissance as the Renaissance in Europe. The Renaissance in Europe was known as a "re-birth," both had a cultural movement, yet, China's Renaissance was primarily for Taiwan. China's purpose for the Renaissance movement was to rebuild traditional thinking's in Chinese culture. It helped people in society who were materialistic or becoming materialistic, they wanted people to live with a spiritual life. Even though they wanted to influence their peoples cultural life, they did not unify Taiwanese and Chinese culture. In contrast to the Chinese Renaissance, the European Renaissance spread all through Europe and not just in a one region. The culture that spread influenced the people about Latin and literatures, as well as painting techniques such as perspective or a natural reality. Unlike Chinese Renaissance, European Renaissance spread throughout their politics and not just their culture. The European Renaissance was the start of the influence of many legendary historical artist. Not only did the European Renaissance influence Europe, but it influenced history internationally, unlike the Chinese Renaissance that only influenced a certain region in China.
