7. Examine the social impact of two scientific or technological developments from the period 1400 to 1700.
We discussed this and the other selected questions from the previous blog post in class last time - for possible events, ideas, developments that could possibly be used to address the prompt.
We will go through the specific demands of the prompt the second half of class on Monday. Then we will review (?) the outlining format. So nothing until after class Monday 14th, then,....
Please craft an outline for this particular prompt and post it here as a reply/ comment to this post due by the end of the day Thursday. Then enjoy your long weekend.
On Monday I will set up part two for this exercise, which will need you to post here as part of the comments on your peers' comments. So you will need to check back here - the Blog for those instructions. I will be out of the building doing work for the IB, beyond LHS.
Cheers,

Intro:
ReplyDeleteThesis: The discoveries of the scientific revolution shaped the 18th century society.
Heliocentric view
Anatomy discoveries
Body 1
Development 1: Heliocentric idea from Copernicus
How it impacted society: Change seasons, calendar, units of measurement. Opened up more astronomical ideas of the other planets, the solar system, universe- telescope invention influenced Copernicus’ ideas
Body 2
Development 2: Leonardo Da Vinci anatomy ideas
How it impacted society: impacted artists making realistic paintings, influenced ideas of doctors to cure diseases
Body 3
How society rebelled/ responded
Church said that Earth was the center of the universe- astronomers shunned for going against church with new ideas
People investigating anatomy went against social norms and dissected cadavers which was taboo
Conclusion
E. Martin
Delete1) Why did it change seasons and calendars? What did Leonardo Da Vinci anatomy ideas do?
2) Missing what Leonardo Da Vinci anatomy ideas did. Also a conclusion.
3) I like the creativity in topic chosen, and response to how society was impacted.
- Very nice job on using how the discoveries impacts society
Delete- I would add a bit more info about the research
This was Gillian S's outline
DeleteDid the heliocentric affect the day to day lives of the citizens? If so, how?
DeleteC. Krohnfeldt
Paul Ford
DeleteYou need to be more thoughtful how this impacts the era
From Maya -
DeleteGillian: Great creativity in topic and interesting aspects of society to examine! However, I did notice that a synthesis and conclusion were missing from the outline. Also, it would be good to specify what was achieved overall in society by these changes. Great organization, it is succinct and to the point!
Thesis: The Scientific developments of the telescope and microscope had a significant social impact. To elaborate, these advancements improved the perception of biology, astronomy, and may have influenced the Enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteMicroscope:
-develops medicine
- medical/bio discoveries (helps the ill)
Telescope:
- changed idea of space (and god)
- Challenged the church
Enlightenment:
- scientific method
- also challenged the church (reason)
- new methods in learning/encouraged critical thinking/discovery

E. Martin
Delete1) Why were the telescope and microscope so important, elaborate more on how a microscope can develop medicine.
2)Societal impacts are missing, time period for enlightenment is out of range for the prompt.
3)I like the relationship to enlightenment.
-dates for when the microscope and telescope are missing
Delete-adding how society also reacted to the two discoveries
- each had good details
From Maya-
DeleteCassie: It would be great to see specification on societal impact of these theories and tech, however, the information is very clearly lined up and topics are well-balanced out.
Has very strong supportive details for the topic

Examine the social impact of 2 scientific or technological development from time period 1400-1700
Invention of the Pencil 1564
Artistic advancements
Erasable
Easily usable
Less messy
Transportabtable
The rise of artist, sketching and drawing with pencil
Used for recording things
Drawing maps
Writing down important events
Used in schools
People now are able to look back at written things and learn about what happened
Invention of the Microscope 1590
Study of small things
Looking into atoms, and cells
Finding small creatures
Snowflakes
Scientific discovery
Diseases and bacteria
The different shapes of snowflakes
Cells, plant and animal
The microscope helped scientists and philosophers discover new things, and create theories on scientific ideas. Learn about diseases and how the human body works. This helps broaden the thing we as humans know.
- I didn't see much social impact but the research and details were very good
DeleteGood inventions that shaped society but I would use specific people that are famous for using the inventions and how it impacted their work and society
Delete-Gillian S
When looking over your outline it looks as if you are missing the 3rd body paragraph, the synthesis.
DeleteC. Krohnfeldt
You have a lot of great details and information - especially for the pencil. However, for the microscope, some of your points are a little disconnected and you have a lot of ideas. To clarify, there's nothing really wrong with that but it runs the risk of creating a disconnection in your argument and might stop you from developing a stronger argument with all of your details/ideas

Examine the social impact of two scientific or technological developments from the period 1400 to 1700.
Intro
Thesis: The technological inventions of the fifteenth century drastically changed society, and how people in their respective societies functioned.
Body 1
Development 1: Printing Press
How did society change: The printing press was first invented in 1439 by Johannes Gutenberg of Germany. The printing press allowed manuscripts to be distributed around Europe and the rest of the world at a relatively low cost. This meant that there was a significant distribution of ideas that had never happened before.
Body 2
Development 2: The Globe
How did society change: The first globe, as designed by Martin Behaim of Germany around 1490 allowed people to see what the Earth looked like geographically for the first time. This globe served as a representation of the knowledge of the Earth in the fifteenth century.
Body 3
Synthesis, negatives, connections
Printing Press: - spread ideas about religion which angered some people because it went against their beliefs
More people were able to learn to read because print was available to them(allowed people to rise up in society).
The Glove - people could easily see where places were located
The map included many legends and stories of different cultures
Great details, I would add specifics about who were angered because of the printing press and which people used the globe to see what places
Delete^^Gillian Schwanitz
DeletePrinting press and Heliocentric model (Copernicus) both had immense social impacts on society.
ReplyDeleteHeliocentric model (Copernicus)
Challenged church and social views on following norms
Gave people ideas on being inquisitive and seek answers for scientific but more importantly social structure and its effectiveness.
Printing Press
Faster spread of ideas/knowledge
Acted as agent of change, catalyzing revolutions/social reform
Heliocentric Model
Challenged norms (societal/cultural and church)
Advanced thinking of year, month, days, gave us modern calendar
Pushed for becoming enlightened, more asking why and how not just accepting what others say
Printing Press
Printing press spread ideas rapidly and more efficiently
Encouraged people to investigate subjects and publish finding people would want to see
Established easier communication within communities (like science)
Spread cultural ideas and helped spark revolution (people figured why can’t it be like that here-- pushed for change)
Both heliocentric model and printing press had huge effects on society
Both pushed for enlightening and the idea of questioning what is expected
Enhanced societies approach for bettering norms

DeleteE. Martin
Delete1) What is a Heliocentric model (Copernicus)
2) Missing a "what?" for the developments
3) I like the relationship shown at the end between the two developments.
You have a lot of good information about the printing press but you're missing specific dates. You might also want to add more things to the heliocentric model - How did the calendar change things?
DeleteThesis- I believe the two best technological investments were the Guillotine and the Printing Press.
ReplyDeleteGuillotine
How was it made and by whom?
What was it used for originally?
How was the Guillotine used in the french revolution?
Printing Press
How was it made and by whom
What was it used for originally?
How was the Printing Press used to make writing better
Conclusion
How were both of these inventions used to better the whole of history
What were the biggest achievements
What social impacts did these 2 have?
Delete- I thought it was interesting how you used questions to form your outline
Delete- add specific dates
- include the social impact
Marla Garcia
I would take out I think from the thesis because you are trying to prove a point not an opinion. You have good questions I would just answer them to fully flesh out your ideas
Delete-Gillian S
I think that using questions is a good way to make sure you have all of the information you need. I do think that you are missing the synthesis paragraph.
Delete-C. Krohnfeldt
Your two points are good however your thesis could be improved. You want it to be formal so don't include anything like "I believe" or "I think". Your thesis doesn't really answer the prompt - it's not asking for the best it's asking for you to analyze the social impacts. While that is what you're answering with your points, using the word, "best" makes your argument a little vague.
DeleteI like how you used guiding questions to form information about the inventions. I am still wondering what social effects that these two inventions had. I might include another paragraph specifically on how these two were used by society, and take the "I think" out of the thesis statement to make it more formal.

DeleteThis is Paul Fords
Delete1. William Harvey's Blood Circulation Discovery
ReplyDeleteInformation about Harvey:
Studied medicine in the late 1500s
Was a fellow at the royal college of physicians in 1607
Became a lecturer of surgery
Appointed physician at St. Bartholomew’s hospital
A supporter of the monarchy
The physician to King James I and Charles I
Lived in Europe during the witch hunt and had to examine four women because so.
Blood circulation research
Is book is Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (anatomical exercise of on the motion of the heart and blood and animal)
Blood flows throughout all of the human body
Being pumped through a single system of arteries and veins
It is circulated and pumped through the heart and lungs
Prior to him, it was believed that there are two systems
One was purple and one was red
His main experiment was about blood flowing to the heart
2. Seishu Hanaoka General Anesthesia Discovery
About Hanaoka:
Specialized in breast cancer and general anesthetics in surgery
Was trying to make a new and improved anesthetic out of traditional Chinese methods
Was the first person to perform surgery with anesthesia
The anesthetic was originally a hot drink
He was able to help inflammation, wounds, ulcers, cancer, etc with this discovery
Passed it down to students
What did these experiments change socially?
Delete-Is there any connection between the two or is there any way to connect them?
Delete-How society reacted to these discoveries
-adding a date to the second discovery
Marla Garcia
You have a great amount of information, and it gives a good impression of what each invention is about. Even though the details are wonderful, I would try to reduce it a little bit and save them for later when you are writing the actual IA. You might also include how these inventions played out in society to help see the social impacts. Otherwise, great outline!

ReplyDeleteGregorian Calendar
Shifted the way we count how many days are in a year
Britain was always 11 days behind
Caused us to not lag behind in solar years
Telescope
Lead to discovery of the milky way
Lead to a better understanding of our solar system
Paragraph 1: Gregorian Calendar
Short history - Dates/people
Calendar we use today
replacement of the Julian calendar,
Pope Gregory XIII demanded it be made in 1582
Shifted the way we count how many days are in a year
Britain was always 11 days behind
Caused us to not lag behind in solar years
Julian calendar = 11 ½ min. Behind solar - by 16th century 10 days behind
Gregorian calendar = 26 sec. Behind - after 3,323 years, only 1 day behind
Paragraph 2: Telescope
Short history - Dates/people
1608 Hans Lippershey (or Lipperhey) invented telescope
Same time/town - Zacharias Jansen invented compound telescope
1609 Galileo produced own telescope, pointed towards sky
Lead to discovery of the milky way (2)
Galileo discovered it
Saw the band of light
Once thought to contain all stars in the universe
Galaxy we live in
Lead to a better understanding of our solar system (1)
Discovered craters in our moon
Saw rings around saturn
Jupiter 4 of her moons
Conclusion:
Summary of essay
C. Krohnfeldt
- I would add more about how it effected society
Delete- Adding a couple more dates might help
- attention to detail is spot on
You have great details and lots of information on the two subjects. I might add a thesis statement to help guide your writing and a little bit more on how these inventions changed society and why in a third paragraph.

Thesis: The Scientific developments of the telescope and microscope had a significant social impact, these advancements improved biology, astronomy, and influenced the Enlightenment.
ReplyDeleteMicroscope:
-helps find medicine
- In 1663 Robert Hooke used a compound microscope to observe cork cells.
- medical discoveries
Telescope:
- changed idea of space
- changed the idea of God
- Early telescopes showed that Earth was not the center of the universe, as was previously believed. They also showed mountains and craters on the moon. ... Telescopes have also revealed new planets and asteroids. These instruments helped us make the first valid measurement of the speed of light
Enlightenment:
- scientific method
-challenged the church
- had new ways in learning (different ideas)
- encouraged critical thinking
AMY COLLADO p.7
Connection to enlightenment is great.
Delete- add specific dates to the second discovery
Delete- show the social impact
- i like how you connected it to the enlightenment

Connection to Enlightenment is great. -Nick S
DeletePaul Ford
DeleteWhat really was the social impact
The Scientific discoveries that led to have a drastic societal impact was the discovery of the telescope, and the creation of the Heliocentric Model
ReplyDeleteTelescope (1608)
-Changed the idea that Earth was at the center of the universe
-Revealed new planets and asteroids
-The discoveries were considered false according to the Roman Catholic Church
Heliocentric Model
-astronomical model in which the Earth and planets revolve around the Sun at the center of the Solar System.
-This model argued that the Earth was not at the center, and that it wasn’t stationary
-This theory went against the church and the teaching of Ptolemy
How did society respond to these discoveries?
-The church spoke out and said that these discoveries were false
-Galileo as a result of many of discoveries was put to death
-The heliocentric model was rejected, on the account that there was no evidence
Conclusion

From Maya -
DeleteMarla: It would be great to see more societal analysis, it’s great that you have garnered a lot of evidence to analyze. How did these change society? Did they interact in any way? What’s your argument?
Paul Ford for the guillotine and printing press
ReplyDeletefrom Maya R.
ReplyDeleteThesis: (Printing press/Heliocentric theory; 1400-1700) The invention of the printing press and the development of the Heliocentric Theory laid the foundations for structural changes within the government.
What did they do?
Printing Press (Popularization; MECHANIZED; Between 1440-1450)
Made reproducing books much more efficient and simple
Efficiency created accessibility (decreased pricing, more books available to buy)
Rag paper cheaper to produce than parchment (also contributed to decreased pricing, books no longer cost the same amount as a house but rather a teacher’s monthly salary. Still for the rich- but not limited to the incredibly, incredibly rich anymore)
Gradual migration to Venice; explosion of information spread
Caused news networks to sprout up along trade ports
Although many couldn’t read, people would gather at the pub to hear a paid reader recite the news
Accelerated the renaissance
Censorship
Scientific discoveries printed were more accurately
Heliocentric Theory (Published in 1543)
Discredited the Bible’s universe
Changed calendars
Encouraged more scientific discoveries
Therefore built more foundation for separation of church and state, as scientific rev
Sparked questioning in even things that weren’t ‘supposed’ to be questioned such as the bible, then bled into other secular things such as the government
Social Impact
Printing Press
By making censorship hard to achieve, thus prevented the govt and church from controlling information; By assisting the protestant reformation, also assisted in breaking uniformity of religion and allowance to think for oneself and interpret for oneself; allowed accelerated spread of information and rate of literacy increased; Accessibility interacted with the protestant reformation but also allowed further access to information and education to those who weren't wealthy furthering thinking for oneself and garnering knowledge: therefore allowing citizens to question government with said knowledge
Heliocentric Theory
Discredited the bible's original description of the universe, therefore laying another primer of questioning-- If the bible could be wrong, other things (such as the government, could be wrong, for example with absolutist kings- 'God said so' 'why did God say so? Why did God make you king?' 'uhhh because god said so'; Laid foundations for further scientific discoveries such as further positioning of the universe; therefore lead to loosening grip of church on govt; loosening of church on govt took away part of appeal of absolutist kings who were supposed to have been chosen by god, and then became instead of a messenger from god to rule the peoples-- a tyrant.
Synthesis
The printing press and heliocentric theory did interact to create this effect, as the printing press improved scientific writings' accuracy and the heliocentric theory built upon a foundation of questioning and knowledge the printing press laid. Etc, etc, this outline is getting very long.
Conclusion
Without the printing press or the heliocentric theory, it is possible that authoritarian regimes could have thrived for much, much longer. By sparking questioning, free thought, the spread of information, and changes to systems that seemed unchangeable the printing press and heliocentric theory worked interactively to create the conditions needed to begin to pull society away from absolutist kingdoms.
Outline of 1400-1700
ReplyDeletePeriod 7
IB European History
By: Joseph Currie-Taye
Examining the social impacts of two scientific or technological developments from the periods between 1400-1700
Intro (Thesis): The scientific and technological developments in the fifteenth-century drastically changed society, and how people’s perspectives have with these new inventions.
Body 1
Invention one: Telescope
How did society change: The telescope was invented in 1608 by a guy named Hans Lippershey of Germany. It has changed society because it has revealed geography and weather on the planets in our solar system. Telescopes have also revealed new planets and asteroids
Body 2
Invention two: Globe
How did society change: The globe was designed by Martin Behiam from Germany in 1490 allowed people to see Earth looks like and its shape.
Body 3
Telescope: light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect.
Globe: people can see other places more cleary.
