1. Based on what you know about him, how would you characterize Mansa Musa as a ruler?

From what I have heard, I think he was a good ruler. His kingdom was flourishing, they had a lot of resources, and he put a lot into education, which was good for his kingdom. I think he was a good ruler, and he made a good influence on people around him, which made his country look good.

1. How would you characterize/define  wealth?

I think if you have enough money to pay for your needs and what you want to do, then that is wealth.

1. Is it different to be wealthy today compared to the fourteenth century? Do you have more influence today? Less?

I think today's wealth is more about having fancy things, and the balance on your credit card, but back then I feel like if you had a lot of gold bars, or something to show that you were wealthy, then people would know.

1.) Mansa Musa had brought an entire golden age to the Kingdom of Mali when he was crowned in 1312. His wealth spiraled to an unimaginable amount as Africa was flourishing. No one today could've ever thought that the richest man in history was in power 7 centuries ago.
2.) I think wealth is defined as having enough many to provide for yourself and others needs, but also wants. When we try to look deeper into the idea of wealth, it's not necessarily only about money. People can be very wealthy of love or can have enough of something they desire.

1. Mansa Munsa is a very unheard of ruler. From the video and the reading, I assume he was very giving. He had a lot of wealth and also organized a caravan. He seemed strong and intelligent because he could increase Mali's development greatly and he left behind an amazing empire.
2. Wealth is how much you have, it could be the amount of money, but it could also be anything in which you obtain a great amount of.
3. Today to be wealthy is everything. Your life is set and you can lead the government or have a powerful job. I think it does not differ so much from the 14th century because both compare you are still put you on a social ladder.

1. Mansa Musa was a very intelligent man, he brought fortune to his country, helped them thrive, and knew how to manage money so that he didn't use it all. He still gave to the poor and recognized that many where suffer and had much less than him. Musa was a great leader
2. wealth can be money or land or physical things. Wealth can be described as someone who lives in a big house and has nice things etc. Wealth is also someone who is content with their life, they have wealth in happiness and joy. Someone who is fulfilled.
3. Musa had a great influence on people everywhere. In todays society there are many wealthy celebrities that have lots of influence weather they know it or not, there are also leaders who are wealthy. But there are also people who are rich but don't have much influence on the people. In addition there are more wealthy people so some have more power than others.

1. Mansa Musa is very popular and wealthy. He draws attention to himself which allows him to help and provide people with education.  His kingdom was also rather big, so that united Africa because they became the same state and had a common interest.
2.  Wealth is how much money you are able to spend on wants, minus needs.
3. In the fourteenth century, many did as they were told and rulers were often more vicious. Now, many people speak up and are creative enough to come up with ideas to make themselves money. Now, we have also had the time to learn from past mistakes.

1. Mansa Musa was a very respectful, wealthy, and popular ruler. Musa was such a good leader he easily became the richest man. He really cared about his people and how he ran. Musa will not be forgotten any time soon because of the positive effect he had on Africa.
2.I would characterize wealth as any money you can spend for yourself and for others. Money you spend on wants and money that you spend on needs. Wealth does not always include money, but to me its having a big abundance of something and being able to use it for good.
3.Yes, i think it is different to be wealthy today than it was back then. I feel as if many people learned significantly from their past mistakes, and they use their brain more to produce money. More jobs are popping up.

1. He seemed to be a very popular and well respected ruler. Even after he died, he still left behind riches and palaces. He knew the wealth of his country and he made it a good representation of itself.
2. I define wealth as someone that has a lot of money, but also knows how to use their money wisely. To spend it all you lose all our wealth, but if you save it, then you gain more and more wealth.
3. The time periods are somewhat different due to the items that make you wealthy. For example some items in the 1400 would include like gold and jewelry and our time now it would be like cars and expensive clothes and tvs and etc.

1. Mansa Musa was very successful for creating the universities for his people , and he was kind and generous to them as well making him a very popular and very successful ruler.
2. Defining wealth I think it depends on what kind of work is done to earn it. Is working difficult or is it simple?
3.comparing his wealth to celebrities today, is nothing although celebrities are rich as well in some ways it's unable to surpass the wealth that Mansa Musa had. Obviously the wealth he had was 400 billion dollars which is in today's money but it might've been different in the past.

1.  Mansa Musa was a king who increased the prosperity of his kingdom. He emphasized learning and donated to the poor, which in my opinion, makes him a great king
2. wealth is the amount of items you have or the amount you could have, as you could have lots of money but not spend it.
3. I think it is somewhat different today. In the 14th century, wealth controlled one's life path, and although it may be a deciding factor today, it had a much stronger influence then.

1. Mansa Musa is a very popular and wealthy ruler. He was good at ruling which led to a good outcome and put his followers at their peak.
2. Wealth is how much money or power you have. Wealth can be a bad or good thing.
3. You could become a lot more wealthy back then than now and you are influenced more today because of how money is distributed today.

1. Mansa Musa seemed like a great king because it mentioned int he video that we watched that on his journey, he handed some of his money out to the poor. He also was a really religious man which showed his devotion to the Muslim faith
2. I would define wealth as having a lot of something and being able to do anything you want with it/ being comfortable. Maybe it doesn't have to be money, but it could.
3. Wealth is very different today compared to back then because now you have to really work for wealth, it isn't just given to you (unless you win the lottery). Also in modern society there are a lot more bills to pay like groceries, taxes, health care etc. and back then there was none of that. Everything is a lot more complicated then it used to be.

1. Mansu Musa

1. As a ruler, I think he would be very well known and important. I also think he would be very kind and generous to people and respect them.
2.  In my opinion, I would define wealth as an abundance of valuable ownership. It could also mean having the ability to do anything you want
3. I think wealth is very different today compared to the fourteenth century. Back then, money was just given to you and now you have to get a job (work) to earn money and gain wealth.

1. I would describe Mansa Musa as generous, caring, and powerful. He was generous because on his hajj, he shared money with the poor. He cared about his people and wanted them to be educated. Also, he was obviously powerful because of his impact on everyone and his money. He was and is the richest person ever. Also, when he took the hajj, his name spread and more people knew about his power.
2. I would characterize wealth as having a lot of items. Wealth depended on your money and power.
3. I think wealth is different today from the fourteenth century. I think that more people have a chance to become rich today, and in the past it was hard to obtain wealth if you weren't born into it. Back then, wealth determined your status and life, and now it sort of does but not as much.

1. I would say that Mansa Musa was a very wealthy and popular man who made good changes for many people in Africa. His generosity with his wealth may have caused inflation, but I feel as if it helped a lot of people out of poverty and created many learning centers that people didn't have before.

2. I think that wealth means you have overly enough money.

3. I feel like today a lot of people are defined as being "wealthy," which in my opinion takes away from the influence being wealthy has today. I feel like in the past, less people were "wealthy," creating a strong influence for the people considered "wealthy."

1.)I think that Mansa Manu was very popular and very rich. He seems like is is very into learning and helping other people with their education. Even though he was wealthy, he was more known for his personality and perspective in things.

2.) Wealth to me means having a lot of money, where you don't have any debt or expenses you still need to pay. Mansa Manu had so much money compared to people today.

3.)I feel like you have more of a influence on the past. In the past there was more one person ruled everything and that one ruler or king had all the power so they were very wealthy. Nowadays, people have regular jobs and very few people are rich because they either play a professional sport, or they own their own business.
