Baroque art falls into the period of Counter-Reformation led by the Catholic church against the Protestants. Much of the Baroque art, especially in Italy, reflects reaction to Mannerism, but also the social turmoil of the time.
The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not include the lesson notes or the link to them, to know what you are talking about. Neither the articles of the authors Arquilla and Weimann.
However, trying to help, we did some research and can comment on the following.
It is true that enhanced communication has allowed for the growth of "networks" of organizations. The pro of these new networks is that it allows people who have similar thoughts or opinions, to have a formal channel of communication to express their points of views and fight for their causes.
The con of these new actors on the international stage is that not all have the best intentions in mind. Some of them can use the new networks for negative purposes as in the case of terrorist groups. For instance, John Arquilla affirms that most of these groups are formed to protest against the policies of governments or are anti-status quo.
Some of these groups promote an environmental agenda, civil rights, support any particular ideology or country in disgrace, or simply critique the performance of a public official or government.
Explanation:
The Maya were native people of Mexico and Central America, while Aztec covered most of northern Mesoamerica between c.1345 and 1521 CE, whereas Inca flourished in ancient Peru between c.1400 and 1533 CE and extended across western South America.
The Maya were polytheistic but they did not have any particular God, while Aztec worship Huitzilopochtli as their main god and Inca worshiped Inti as their primary God.
The Maya created a writing system of hieroglyphics, the Aztec created the famous mask of Xuihetecuhtli that employed turquoise mosaic, and the Inca created a massive road network through mountains and rivers.
Maya builds towering temples and elaborate palaces, Aztec build their capital city Tenochtitlan on an island, while Inca constructed stone temples without using mortars yet the stone fit together so well that a knife would not fit between the stones.
The Maya used two calendars. One which was based on the solar year, while the other was a kind of sacred almanac. Maya also used a three-symbol numerical system that allowed them to record numbers into millions. While Aztec used a sacred calendar and a 365-day agricultural calendar, the Aztec writing system was based on glyphs, symbols that stand for sound or words. The Inca didn’t develop a writing system; their records were kept on bundles of knotted cords called quipus.
The Maya architects used local materials, like limestone, which they used at Palenque and Tikal, while metalwork was the most primary skill of the Aztec. Turquoise was mostly used with Aztec artists, the most common example is the decorated human skull which represents the God Tezcatlipoca. The Inca were affected by the art and techniques of Chimu civilization.
