I Googled “Protestant Reformation” and began reading about it on History.com. But this did not really tell me anything I didn’t already know. So I decided to search Google directly for scholarly journals. I used the keywords “medieval journals scholarly” and obtained a few promising choices. I tried another keyword search: “religious studies journals” and this gave me more selections. However, I wanted to explore an alternate approach. I knew that the Peace of Westphalia was an outcome of the Thirty Years War between Catholics and Protestants and that this peace ushered in a new era of political and social norms. I wanted to search this topic for more information so I returned to Google Scholar and searched “protestant reformation Westphalia” and many results came up in scholarly journals that looked very promising.
The works that I began looking at were: “The Religious Roots of Modern International Relations” by Daniel Philpott in the World Politics, vol. 52, issue 2 from the year 2000. This article actually had a lot of good references with links, which I could use to look up several other journal articles. Another article that appeared was “The Myth of the English Reformation” by Diarmaid MacCulloch in Journal of British Studies, volume 30, issue 1 from the year 1991. It examined the ways in which the identity of the Anglican Church was conveyed over time and how it impacted society.

Van Kley, published by Yale University Press in 1996, and Wayward Monks and the Religious Revolution of the Eleventh Century by Phyllis G. Jestice, published by Brill in 1997. Both books were helpful in increasing my sense of the background of religious revolution…

The worship of Mazu shares many elements with other types of Chinese folk religions. Mazu was based upon a historical figure and is said to play a protective role over the people in her region; in Mazu's case, she is said to protect fishermen (Lim 2010). She was worshipped for over 500 years in China, so that many elements of her worship are traditional parts of culture. However, the modern
He believed that if people join together and make a social contract they can both preserve their nation and remain free (Rousseau 93). The French Revolution (1789-1799) was a ten-year period of upheaval in France as it was throughout Europe during the period which followed the American Revolution. In France, the political climate changed from a monarchy with aristocrats and much influence by the Catholic Church to a democracy. Citizens
Revolution The history of the United States is full of stories of brave men who fought tyranny in order to create a land of the free and the home of the brave. Students' first experience with history relates tales of the Founding Fathers who fought the American Revolution and won. Their actions allowed this country to break away from Great Britain and become an independent and autonomous nation where all men
Despite the articulation of this as a social function of religion, the relation that an individual has with his or her society cannot be postulated. By so doing, the religious power justifies deprivation and social injustices by rendering non-competitive and scarce goals. This notion further asserts that these goals are unimportant on matters of inequality and exploitation. Religion does this by making conditional policies in providing solutions to social

Iranian dynasties have been synonymous with victories and land acquisition
