Ch. 15 pg. 719-739, 740-752 Cultural Transformations

In chapter 15 cultural transformation is discussed. The early modern era gave birth to the spread of Christianity to Asians, Africans, and native american's. as well as the emergence of a modern scientific outlook, which challenged western Christianity across the globe. This is still happening in today;a society. a constant between religion ans science. In the beginning if the early modern era Christinanity was limited to Europe. it was divided between the Roman Catholics of western and central Europe and the eastern orthodox of eastern Europe and Russia. Chrstianity was the motivation for Europeans political and and economic expansion. While Europeans were working to spread their faith to every corer of the world other people were creating the beginning steps of the scientific revolution. it altered ideas of human kind, and defied the preaching's of the church. This is still happening today where the church says one thing, but then someone comes asking question or finding evidence that defies what the church is preaching and changes the views and beliefs of many people, because they don't know what to believe. The enlightenment opened up so many people's eyes that there is alot  more to see, and also that people have a mind of their own and can think for themselves and choose what they do and don't believe in.
