History

This time period really should be differentiated.  The early part of the period was dominated by self-interest while the end of the period had aspects of idealism about it.  Overall, I would argue that self-interest predominated, but it would be much clearer if we separated this period into the WWI Era on the one hand and the time before it on the other.

The early part of this time period is dominated by the Spanish-American War and the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine.  These things showed the US doing things like occupying ore even taking other countries (Nicaragua, the Philippines) to promote its own interests.

The WWI era is dominated by Woodrow Wilson and the Fourteen Points.  Wilson's goal was to create a world order that would be conducive to peace.  This is a much more idealistic motive than was present in the early 1900s.

Overall, I would argue that the self-interest predominated, but that idealism came more to the fore at the end of the period.

Answer:

The correct answers are:

C) Building projects such as those to build mosques became a major economic support system for Mali.  

D) Not only did Mansa Musa impact the spreading of Islamic education, advancements in architecture were also seen.

Explanation:

Mansa Musa came to power in 1312 and his reign would be marked by a major growth for the region; economic, social and religious, as Mansa Musa was a devout Muslim who promoted this faith in his Empire and spread mosques, madrasas (schools) as well as major urbanization throughout his territory.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists to this day, is especially noteworthy.

Mansa Musa promoted the economic and knowledge flowering in the city of Timbuktu. In it, the Sankore University, which exists until today, stands out especially.

The journey of the Mansa is recorded in the year 1325 and it would take a full year to reach its destination and return to its city. Many things have been written about this trip, because in different oral and written sources, impressive details were recorded that seem to exceed reality. It is said that Mansa Musa traveled with a large entourage that was made up of civilians, soldiers and slaves. The number of the procession is disputed, but sources indicate that there were about 60,000 men and 12,000 women.

It should be emphasized that the descriptions of the Mansa's entourage come from oral sources and from different sides, which is why the accuracy of the data in this case is not possible.

It is said that during the trip, Mansa Musa built a mosque every Friday and gave generous gifts to the poor of coins and gold dust. By the way, this fact is pointed out as the cause of the devaluation of this metal and an economic destabilization that impacted even a decade later.

Dafna11 [192]
Globalization refers to the increased interdependence of nations, which involves goods,services and cultures. In an ever shrinking world, threats to security poses a risk to communities across the world. This realization has enabled communities and nations to enter into treaties and agreements with an aim of sharing intelligence information on risks such as terrorism,cyber crime and sabotages of economic and political aspects.
There has been criticism from anti-globalization activists who compound that globalization has also globalized threats as it escalates cultural intolerance. This view is however not founded on the premise but the anti-thesis.
