Africa and Europe were connected to Asia and the Middle East, and this shows how Buddhism spread to Afghanistan (evidence of this is the statues of the Buddha in Bamiyan), how Islam spread to China, and how Christianity spread to Africa. ]]> 2018-10-30 06:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298363821 Summary dhingra49591 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298363899 The silk road was essentially the first "internet". It linked a huge network of communication across vast distances. Goods and information would travel thousands of miles which connected different cultures. Travelers rarely completed the full length of the silk road due to harsh weather conditions and rough terrain. Although the silk road's main purpose was to transport goods, it developed cultural integration and innovation on a whole new level. Desire for trade and expansion resolved many conflicts between cultural groups along the silk road. Overall, the silk road shaped the lives of people in Afro-Eurasia and allowed new ways of expansion, growth, and connectivity.]]> 2018-10-30 06:44:29 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298363899 QCI panday45606 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298364246 Question: Did the Silk Road continue by land through Europe and Africa and bring goods to places like England, France, and the West Coast of Africa.

Connection: This reminds me of a map of the modern shipping routes. With better navigation today, we go by the fastest route instead of by sticking close to land, but the concept of moving goods in this manner is the same. 

Insight: The Silk Road was a catalyst for the future as it sped up globalization in a way that hadn't ever been seen on this planet.]]> 2018-10-30 06:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298364246 Summary kim44169 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298364423 The Silk Road enriched the merchants who carried and exchanged goods, but also the people of countries and cultures all across Eurasia.

 Ideas, devices and techniques spread far along the Silk road and the traffic was a multiway street. 

The long distance trade had bad side effect. Bad side affects like diseases. An example of the side example would be the D

Connections: The silk road allowed a mass exchange of ideas all across Asia and Europe. This connects to the Columbian exchange, excluding the slavery and torture. New cultures, wildlife, and goods were discovered and exchanged amongst a large network of people.

Insights: The Silk Road and Columbian Exchange were both critical to the growth, whether positive or negative, of their continents. Afro-Eurasia thrived because different cultures were amazed by each other's materials and artifacts creating a balance of imports and exports. The large exchange allowed countries to grow, expand, and integrate other cultures which led to more economic success.]]> 2018-10-30 06:55:16 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298365232 Should we call it the Silk Road? panday45606 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298365447 We should not call this massive trade route the Silk Road as Silk was not the most important item traded on this route. Ideas, Religion, Art, and Culture were all traded along with goods. It is the abstract concepts that remain today such as religion and knowledge that influence us and are what we talk about when we mention the silk road. However, silk is one of the most valuable  concrete goods that were traded, and we tend to think more about concrete things that abstract ones, and so the name stuck. However, since the asbstract is of more significance, we should rename this trade route.]]> 2018-10-30 06:56:58 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298365447 Should we call it the Silk Road? dhingra49591 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298365455 No, although silk was a key factor in the expansion of trade, the Silk Road was mainly a global exchange of ideas and cultural awareness. Cultural, religious, artistic, and political ideologies were all traded amongst the Silk Road which is why society was able to progress so fast. The impacts of the silk road are prevalent in many countries. For example, there are many Muslim's residing in China today because of the past influx of traders from the Middle East. The Silk Road connected countries and people in ways that allowed new growth and innovation. It heavily sped up globalisation through the exchange of goods over thousands of miles. Overall, the Silk Road spread huge growth and diversity across Asia which sped up the process of globalisation.]]> 2018-10-30 06:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298365455 QCI kim44169 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298861731 Question: Why did the silk road play such a big part in trade?
Connections: The silk road played such a big part in trade because it was a fast and efficient way to spread ideas and also get materials to other countries faster. This connects to why Singapore because it was a shortcut and a resting place when transporting materials
Insights: The Silk Road and how Singapore was found had greatly impacted trade, and while the Silk Road doesn't exist anymore, Singapore has become one of the greatest trading ports.

Ideas, inventions, devices, and techniques were exchanged and calling the trading system the Silk Road makes us perceive the Silk Road as a trading system for luxury items and silk only. There were many inventions that changed our lives that spread globally including the irrigation waterwheel and paper. Food was exchanged too, including oranges and grapes. As you can see, calling it the Silk Road narrows down the general idea and also is misleading. ]]> 2018-10-31 08:31:08 UTC https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/298869771 Summary khamajuntr768245 https://padlet.com/dhingra49591/13jsomrvgz9/wish/299210230 The Silk Road was one of the essential trading network in the history. The network allows the trade of goods, religions and culture; it connected the world. 

Trading goods were not the only thing the merchants brought back to Europe, they also brought the technologies of the East. From compass to gunpowder, these innovation changes the tide of history.

The west was not the only one who benefited from the trades. Knowledge of the west were spreading in China too. Medicine from all around the world were also practice in China, even to Emperor was treated by a doctor from India.

Connection: Very much like modern day trading network. Goods are being import and export for all around the world, exchanges of goods for other goods from different country.

Insight: The Silk Road were essential to the development of Globalisation, The route allows the exchange of knowledge and technology.

The technology of the east also further develop the western world power and Four centuries after the introduce of Chinese gunpowder and compass, the west would dominate the entire world.

Even though silk was one of famous goods exchanged through the Silk Road, it was not the most significant goods. Culture and technology were spread by the merchants whom travel from all around the world. These knowledges leaded to many development of a lot for countries spanning. For example, the spread of gunpowder and compass, allowed the European power to dominate and influence the world, leading the world into modern era. The impact of the network from the knowledge and technology is far greater than impact of silk.
