Where can I get these apps??

Mr ferguson made a a lot of good points in his talk, and I agreed with him. Although he made some extremely terrible jokes through his speech, he kept his audience captivated and brought up many good topics. Fist, I agree that geography didn't play a major role in why the west "defeated" the east. His examples with Germany and Korea were well founded and made a lot of sense. And quite honestly I think the "6killer apps" are true as well. These apps were competition, scientific revolution, property rights, modern medicine, consumer society, and work ethic. Back in the 1500 the west had all of these things and were superior in every aspect, but now they are greatly lacking. Again I agree that China and India are going to whoop our butts in economy. The fact that the US rarely make their own products is a huge hindrance which costs us millions.

The Muslim empires

The book probably put the ottoman,Safavids and Mughals together since they are all Muslim empires. This could be a good thing because you can see the Muslim empire progressed and how they adapted. It may be confusing because they do mix them all up in paragraphs and sometimes it is difficult
To tell the difference between the three. Also sometimes it is difficult to differentiate the time periods in which each of the empires existed and the location of the empires. I think the period of global interaction was a good thing. They learned about the cultures of different places, and their culture changed with the other people. They were sort of infused into one.

Fabian Fucan and his hatred of Christianity

Fucan has a lot of hatred for Christianity, but what he really hates is that he strayed form his original religion to practice a new one, and in the end he reverted back to neo- Confucianism. He discusses everything he hates about Christianity and compiles it in an essay. To begin, he says that the Christian people want to destroy Buddhism in Japan, and that they made it their goal to destroy it. They want to subvert the Royal Sway, overthrow the Buddhas and gods, and eliminate the Japanese customs. This goes in to the political part, in which they want to overthrow the Japanese government and make it more westernized and incorporate Christianity into the government. Fucan criticizes the fact that they have martyrs, and that they kill themselves for their religion. For the historical part, he says how they took over other lands, and basically dominated them. He believes that Japan is much better than all the other conquered areas. Lastly,on social aspect, Fucan believes that they want to get rid of everything Japanese, and just make them extremely westernized.

Haha... Capitalism

I think the reason that Christianity keeps on splitting up into different forms is mainly becuase when people don't like something in the religion,they change, and then other people begin to follow them. First of all, people began to resent the Roman catholic church, and it's involvement in politics. If you look at Martin Luther, he didn't like their principles so he changed them,and started something new. He then gained some followers and boom, there was Lutheran Christianity. As for capitalism... I honestly have no idea what it is. I've heard about it, and I learned about it, but I guess my brain can't retain the knowledge about it. So ummm yeah
