List A:
(1.) How do cultural differences help us to understand how Christopher Columbus and Zheng He described their encounters with unfamiliar societies during the fifteenth century? Include evidence from the assigned readings to demonstrate and explain these differences.
(2.) The so-called “Columbian exchange” that developed after Columbus’ arrival in the Caribbean involved the transfer of biological organisms (plants and animals) between the “Old World” of Afro-Eurasia and the “New World” of the Americas. Which organism do you think did the most to define the new relationship between the Old World and the New World? Include evidence from the assigned readings to support your position.
(3.) The societies of East Asia and Europe were aware of each other for centuries before the “Age of Exploration” that began in the 15th century. How and why did East Asians and Europeans respond differently as new networks of exchange developed between the 1400s and the 1600s? Include evidence from the assigned readings to support your argument.
List B:
(1.) How did religion and government relate to each other in early modern societies? Be sure to address examples from different geographic and cultural areas (i.e., Christian Europe, the Islamic world, East Asia), and consider how this relationship may have changed between the 15th and 18th centuries. Include evidence from the assigned readings to support your argument.
(2.) The exploitation of slave labor has been widespread in human history, but slaves have been viewed differently and served different roles in different societies. How did slavery in the European empires in the Americas differ from slavery in the Ottoman Empire? Include evidence from the assigned readings to support your argument.
