While playing the review games, I am noticing that in terms of the religion category, I am not as strong in the Islam section. Questions on the Indian leader at the time of Islamic invasions (Mahmud) and the word Islam meaning submission are two that I got wrong. In terms of political structure, I need to remember that Charlemagne's officials to bring counts under control were the missi dominici. The bureaucracy of merit in Tang China elected officials based upon examinations...I need to study political structure more.
I found an error! In "that awkward post-classical jeopardy game", under social structure for 200, an error exists in that women were not encouraged to participate in foot binding, but had absolutely no day whatsoever, as foot binding was a form of control. Sorry Heen...
On the "Post-Classical Review" game, an error was found in that the question called for two places that India traded extensively with, when the poor soul to construct the question answered with "the subcontinent and on the ocean to the south" which not only makes literally no sense, but the correct answer is actually China and the Middle East. This was found under economy for 100.
In the same section for 500, the question is wrong because feeding 20 serfs for 2 points is completely unlike feeding literal people to keep them alive. At the same time, having this information will not help me in succeeding on e test. Since this is illegitimate and rules for a game rather than real life, it is wrong.
Sadly, while footbinding was a form of control, the women of the time didn't necessarily see it that way, and many encouraged each other to participate...kind of a Cosmo-esque peer pressure thing...and I think the 500 point one was more of a joke than a real question...
ReplyDeleteany Pet Shop Boys in your music of the 80's collection?
Darn It. I tried. I have one song from them, but I lean more towards old rock so I haven't really listened to them much.
