This is very helpful. It might benefit you to specify that the pastoral inner people and traded products of the forest for agricultural and manufactured goods, which would reinforce the idea that trade is based on uneven distribution of resources. I would also argue that a continued demand for luxury products by the elite sustained trade.

Maybe you could add that only moving goods of high value could compensate for the high costs of transportation across the Silk Road, so many merchants turned to silk to make a profit (it wasn't particularly heavy or difficult to transport, so they could move it in bulk).

I might also add on to your first point (since listing examples can be a big help on the summative): Peasants withdrew from cultivation of food and began producing silk, paper, porcelain, lacquer-ware, and iron tools which would had an almost guarantee of bring profit along the Silk Road.

Also, when a different culture/religion was assimilated into Buddhism, Bodhisattvas were the result (gods of many peoples).

It also mentions that Buddhism attracted people during epidemic by offering compassion, though I'm not sure how relevant that is

You might want to add the reasons why the Americas had less immunity, such as the lack of domesticated animals and large trade/commerce between civilizations.

HAHA ok Amelia, for question 6 I only got two answers. 1= The economic/political revival of china. 2= the sudden rise of Islam. What I did was I elaborated extensively on both points and encompassed what you wrote basically. I will put my answer down later but I'm SUPER tired.

Would the communities established by Muslim merchants help contribute to the flourishing of Indian Ocean commerce, or were they just a byproduct?

I think both. They are a byproduct of sustained efforts to grow Indian ocean trade, AND they were the heart of the process by which these merchants sought to gain relevance in that trading system. An attempt that was extremely successful.

My answer for this question is very scrambled, and I think it would be beneficial to organize these points in different ways (using the SPICE themes would probably be the most helpful).

Oops! I meant to say "Coastal cities acted as intermediaries between interior African producers and the Arab merchants who sold their products"

I don't think it's necessary to include that the Swahili language was a Bantu tongue written in Arabic script because that is a supporting detail for the point about the settlement of Arab, Indian, and Persian merchants in Swahili cities. I see the language aspect of that point as more of how Indian Ocean commerce played a role in Swahili civilization rather than the Swahili civilization playing a role in Indian Ocean commerce which is what the question is asking.

Most people answered this question incorrectly (I think) because they looked at the second-wave innovations at the bottom of page 326 (these talked about calculating latitude and stuff like that) when they should have been looking at the bottom of page 327 that talked about post classical/third era innovations. There are only two point with many smaller point.

BinghamWelcome class of 2020. Some years students collaborate in this space effectively, some years not so much. One thing I know, collaboration significantly enhances learning. If you want access to my thoughts, this is the collaboration space to use. Most people propose an answer to margin questions, big picture question, or anything else related to managing Strayer. Other people can then comment leading to a stronger answer. I'll keep an eye on these pages, and pop in when I think you need me. Archives
