Well, this isn't Strayer really, but I thought it might be good to have a place to talk about the essays.

Nobody talking, eh?

Be sure to study what you did in class, and the stuff on OneNote.

Arielle and I were writing practice paragraphs for the essay, and we weren't sure whether we were doing the analysis correctly, if at all? I think we may have somehow embedded the analysis into the evidence. Is this okay?

I'm a little concerned about your para 1. Was the rise of the Mongols really explained by a need for pastoral lands? Wasn't there other, more pressing needs? I mean if you have some specific evidence (facts) I'm good.

The very fleshed out and specific structure of the Caste system in India discouraged loyalty to the state and is one of the possible reasons it never became a huge empire, so is it plausible to assume that a factor that contributed to the rise of the Mongol Empire was that they had a very simple and not structured social hierarchy which encouraged loyalty to the state rather than to local regions/families? (I know we can't write about India other than maybe for synthesis, I was just using it to try to justify my thinking)

Maybe in synthesis. But I think if you go back to strayer, I think you'll find a different reason to explain the Mongols staying out of India.

By the way Jackie, sorry, it's easier to call you that; I would argue that the Mongol clan loyalty was an impediment to the rise of their empire.

This is just a clarifying question I guess... So when do we cut off the timeline for the RISE of the yatayata empire. If we use the Mongols when does it become The Mongol Empire and is "finished," because I see arguments such as they raised taxes for trade, but isn't that after they become a controlling empire? Just curious!

So the rise of empire refers to going from zero, to empire. Anything you discuss that involves how they ran their empire does not apply, taxation included.

BinghamWelcome class of 2019. 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
