From the video we watched, it was shown that on his pilgrimage to Mecca, Mansa Musa shared some of his gold with the poor. Knowing this, and going of the document and our notes, I would say that he was a good ruler looking to help the empire.
2. Wealth is how much of something you have. I would say that in some ways, wealth is not very important, but in Mansa Mura's, it is. His wealth and his amazing journeys spread to different continents, and it made him reach a very high level. I this way, I definitely think his wealth was important.
3. I think that in today's society, it is not as important to be wealthy. I modern times, it is common to see someone wealthy, but back then, it was not very common. Going along with this, back then, being wealthy helped you reach a greater variety of people and had a very big influence on people.]]> 2018-11-13 14:05:40 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727417 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727447 1. I would characterize Mansa Musa's rule as a very powerful one. Because he was so wealthy, he had a lot of power. Also, he most likely helped the country to flourish because he was so rich he could help the poor. 
2. I would characterize wealth as something that almost everyone wants, but it is more important to some. To most people wealth symbolizes power and dominance, characteristics people want.
3. I think it is different to be wealthy in modern times than it was back then because it used to be very uncommon for someone to be wealthy. Many people were slaves/lived in poverty. Nowadays, it is more common for people to be wealthy. I think wealthy people have less influence than wealthy people used to because it is so common. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:05:43 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727447 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727463 1.  From the document and the video, Monsa Musa was shown as a successful and powerful ruler. The wealth that he managed to gain during his rule was well deserving because of his clever way of doing things. He used the natural resources around him to his advantage which played a big factor to all of his wealth gain. 
2. I would characterize wealth as something that could mean something very different depending on who the person is. To some people, wealth isn't an important and has no significance to what they want. But also for a person like Monsa Musa, wealth can be showed as power and superiority over others. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727463 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727533 1. I would characterize his way of ruling to be fair, just, kind, and powerful. Through the video and document, it is known of his wealth and power, but what made him a good ruler was even though he was wealthy he still helped everyone. It can also be gathered from these sources that he inspired people all across the world.
2. I would characterize wealth to being successful and getting a lot out of life. Also, to have power and money.
3. It is different to be wealthy in modern times because now wealth is equivalent to being rich, when in the fourteenth century your could have a lot of resources and still be wealthy. I think that if you are wealthy it doesn't necessarily mean you are infleuntal. For, his 's case it does because people weren't inspired by him because of his money. They were inspired by him because of the person he was.]]> 2018-11-13 14:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727533 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727621 1. I  would say that Mansa Musa was a smart leader, who used his natural resources to his advantage. I think it is fair to mention though that with all that money he most likely was at least a little bit full of himself but that is just an assumption. 
2. Wealth is a social construct intended to make people who are "poor" or "less then" fell invalidated.  We are all people and we all have the right to be on this earth, anything else can be put aside. 
3. You have to take into the account that Mansa Musa had many advantages that modern people do not have. He did not pay for labor, that cost of things was less and money was different. Building your way up and working hard is different then ruling land with lots of gold. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727621 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727658 1. i would consider mansa musa as a intelligent and strategic ruler. he capitalized on his country's wealth and expanded it. 
2. i would characterize wealth with how much of something you have. In this picticular artical they are talking are talking about how much money one has. 
3. being wealthy today means is very similar to being wealthy back then. To day you have less power and more influence. Back then you had a lot of power and a lot of influence. Similarly you might have multiple houses and nice clothes.

2.) I would characterize wealth as something that isn't very important to me, but could be for others. In my opinion, being happy with not as much money is better than being sad with a lot of money.
3.) I think it is about the same. Everyone still likes to show off their wealth and everyone still wishes to have more. Mansa Musa had so much money that I am sure some were jealous of him in some sort of way, just like todays society and how we can wish to have more based off of what others have.]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:12 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727756 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727824 1. Mansa Musa as a ruler of Mali, a kingdom with a lot of expensive natural resources. He was kind, smart, and had a strong belief in education. He was a Muslim who traded Gold and in return became the richest man to ever live. 
2. Wealth is how much money one has. Ones wealth is greater depending on how hard you work or what your job is. 
3. In todays society not everyone who is wealthy necessarily works as hard as others who are wealthy as well. For an example, the Kardashians are very wealthy people; however, all they do to gain that wealth is live their lives and document it on the internet for others to see. An example of someone who works hard for their wealth would be a Doctor. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:18 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727824 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727861 1. I would characterize Mansa Musa's ruling to be powerful. He gained great wealth because it seems he deserved it. He did good for his country and made strategic choices to help boost them. The video stated that he helped the poor by giving them money(gold), and he does not seem full of himself, he seems selfless. He wanted to do what was best for Mali, and that granted him to be one of the richest people.
2. I would consider wealth as an amount of something you earn. I think it is important to work to get your money, and being wealthy makes you look very successful. If you are wealthy you have a ton of money, and most likely have a decent amount of land. With the amount of money Musa had, he probably controlled many great things because he was capable of spending the money without it affecting him in a negative way.
3. It todays world, I think a lot of people obsess over money, and when you are wealthy you might be thought of differently. Some people in our world today might not have worked as hard to get the money someone back then would've earned. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:22 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727861 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727884 1. He seems like a good ruler because  when we learned in the video that he gave out a ton of money to the poor it makes him sound like he actually cares about his people. Most kings that could get that rich would be selfish and keep it and brag about their money.
2. I think that wealth means to have a lot of money and property and belongings. If you are wealthy, you might wear VERY nice clothes and fur coats. If you don't have a lot of wealth you might wear older, less nice clothes.
3. I think it is different to be wealthy today than back then because back then, there weren't very many things to spend your money on. If I were that wealthy, I would rather it be now so that I can buy a nice house, lots of animals, and I wouldn't have to worry about going poor because of how much animal food I would be buying, along with that, I could give a ton of money to a lot of different charities. I dont think there were very many charities back then. I think it is better to be wealthy now than back then when you had money but you couldn't spend it on very many things.]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727884 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727886 1) Mansa Musa must have been super powerful because he was the richest man alive. Additionally, the kingdom he ruled, had a lot of great resources and used them to trade with. He also gave back to his people, he built schools and mosques to help his community.
2) I would characterize his wealth as being very wealthy, having over 400 billion dollars. I think wealth means to have a lot of money. 
3) For my opinion, I don't think much has changed. Wealth is the same as it always been. At same time, I think wealth is more spread out to multiple people today compared to back then.]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:24 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303727886 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728227 1. Mansa Musa seemed to be a great ruler. He built Mali's wealth and sized.
2. I would characterize wealth as having a lot of money that you earned. Mansa Musa's wealth came from his ability to spread Mali's resources throughout Africa and other European countries.
3. I think being wealthy today is the same as being wealthy back then. in both times the richest people controlled many political powers. the only difference now is that things are becoming more expensive so prices are going up so the wealthy pay more for items but they also make more.]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728227 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728260 1. He seems like someone who cares a lot about his community and people and because of this wants to give back to them. And the fact that he gave some of his riches back to the people show that he is not greedy, but cares about his people. He is also very powerful because of his wealth and status.
2. I don't find wealth very important, in my opinion wealth is not what makes or breaks a person. But I do find it impressive when someone works for what they have, I think a strong work ethic is very important, and if wealth comes with that, then I don't see a problem. 
3.I think being wealthy today is very different than being wealthy then. The economy has changed and to be wealthy you must have a lot more money then he did. Being wealthy does play a bug role on where you stand in society. It changes who you hang out with and how you dress and where you live, and jobs.]]> 2018-11-13 14:06:59 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728260 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728487 1. I think Mansa Musa was a very powerful king. Although he did gain a lot of wealth, he did give it back greatly to his community.
2. When I think of wealth, I usually think of money, but people can be wealthy in all different ways. Being rich can be used for many different scenarios. But typically, I think of how much money someone has.
3. I think it is different because, from the article, clearly no one is close to how wealthy Mansa Musa. But I also think prices have increa]]> 2018-11-13 14:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728487 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728999 1. I think Mansa Musa was a great ruler. He was able to grow his kingdom with wealth and power. He also gave his citizens some of his wealth. He was not a cruel ruler because nobody has said anything about him abusing his citizens.
2. I would characterize wealth as a person having a lot of money that they have earned. Although, you don't always need to have a lot of money to be wealthy you can be wealthy other ways.
3.I think that you have less power if you're wealthy ]]> 2018-11-13 14:08:03 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303728999 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303729043 1. obviously Mansa Musa was a very wealthy ruler who wasn't afraid to spend his money. He also seemed to be a very intelligent ruler, because it is said that just two generations later the money is wasted away. 
2. I think that wealthy is a more respectable term then rich. I think it implies that you are smart in which the way you deal with money, and it means that you are prosperous and have put work into gaining more money. 

]]> 2018-11-13 14:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303729043 https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303729629 1. Mansa Musa seems to fit many powerful characteristics regarding ruling. Being as wealthy as he was, I believe he used his wealth in a prosperous way, due to the people and many uses in which to money could be spent. Based off of evidence, He was a good, well deserved ruler, who used knowledge as power. 
2. Wealth should not be the amount of money one obtains, but the quality in which they fulfill their life. In order to prosper, one must live in a way they are proud of, and the richness of someone is their morals, not their money. Wealth is not only being successful, but also the ability to comprehend how much you really have. ]]> 2018-11-13 14:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/phiort1_1/gglkcx8iy3b6/wish/303729629
