Culture

Many Western musical instruments were copied from instruments that originated in Islamic societies, including the lute, the guitar and the violin. It is said that Spanish flamenco dancing was influenced by the rhythms of Arab music.

Trade

European noblemen bought goods that Muslim’s traded in – silk, spices etc – as the height of fashion. Western sailors adopted devices that had been refined by Arabs, eg the astrolabe, which aided navigation, and the triangular sail, which increased manoeuvrability. Without these Columbus would never have reached America.
The Muslim economy stretched much farther and was more sophisticated than the trade of Western Europe:

Muslim traders travelled as far as South Africa, China and Russia.
They traded in fine quality goods like silk, cotton, carpets, paper, ivory and spices.
Hoards of medieval Muslim coins with Arabic writing on them have been dug up by archaeologists in Sweden which was thousands of miles from the nearest reaches of the Islamic World at the time.

The Islamic world experienced huge migrations of people:

the Seljuk invasions from Central Asia in the 11th and 12th centuries
the Mongol invasions from central Asia in the 13th century

Also, medieval Muslim traders and warriors settled over a vast area of the globe, taking their religion with them.

Muslim Arab traders and warriors set up trading posts and settlements throughout the Sahara, down the east coast of Africa, into India and even in south-east Asia.
After the Mongols converted to Islam, they established a number of Muslim states in Iran, Central Asia and Russia. The Mongol state in Russia was called the Golden Horde.
The ghazi military commanders who conquered eastern Europe after 1350 were given land there as a reward.

miskamm [114]

Answer:

“I met my father for the first time when I was 28 years old. When I had children, my children were going to know who their father was.” So vows Chris Gardner, an earnest salesman and father desperately struggling to make ends meet on the hard streets of San Francisco in the early 1980s. But his chosen vocation, peddling expensive bone-density scanners that most physicians don’t want, has left him and those he loves hovering on the brink of disaster.

   Day after unsuccessful day, Chris comes home to his dispirited girlfriend, Linda, and their 5-year-old son, Christopher. Linda pulls double shifts to stay within striking distance of solvency, all the while chastising Chris for his failure to provide. Predictably, she doesn’t think much of his latest brainstorm: securing an internship at the stock brokerage firm Dean Witter. Linda’s bitterness and negativity may wear on Chris, but they can’t dampen the weary salesman’s delight in his son. Christopher is the apple of Daddy’s eye.

   Then Linda leaves Chris (and their son) for a job in New York. She’s barely out the door when Chris learns he’s been offered the coveted internship. The catch? It’s unpaid. Despite the financial risk, Chris decides to go for it, frantically juggling his schedule to get Christopher to and from day care each day. But dwindling savings quickly result in an eviction from their apartment. And then another from a motel. Soon, father and son are homeless, staying in city shelters on good nights and in public restrooms on the worst.

     As his desperation mounts, Chris clings tenaciously to the hope that his hard work will eventually pay off. And his dogged pursuit of a better life forges a powerful father-son bond that no misfortune can destroy.

“You’re a good papa.” Those tenderhearted words from Christopher to his father as they spend the night in a homeless shelter poignantly capture the essence of The Pursuit of Happyness. Chris isn’t perfect, but one emotional scene after another clearly demonstrate his drive to protect and provide for his son. What won’t trip them up—and might even breathe new life into their own relationships—is Chris Gardner’s powerful, passionate pursuit of the best life possible for his little boy.

Write a dairy and behalf of the elderly grandmother describing her feeling of not living with her children and grandmother.
Monica [59]

Answer:

Dear diary,

I'm here once again, because you seem to be the only one I'm able to talk to whenever I want to, and you don't wait impatiently so you can go back to other things you're doing.

However, I miss my children and grandchildren and wish they visited more often, seeing as everyone went on their own way, as soon as they turned 18 or just after College.

I have a considerable sum of money, but I don't have happiness, I have happiness, but not the type I want. I guess he people that said money doesn't buy happiness were right after all.

Diary, you'll have to endure the ramblings of an old woman who is lonely. We'll talk again soon.
