CIVILIZATION Grace Cooper Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f CHAPTER 1 The thick green sturdy forest is filled with many wild animals such as the wolves hiding in the bushes waiting for their next meal. The quick foxes brush against the leaves. Tall brown chocolate like trunks curve over the branching ground letting bits of sun- light come through the trees. The Surviving in this dense forest wont be easy. Introduction 1 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f spiky branches and the thorny bushes make it hard to walk around. Rivers rushing downward through the tall for- est make sound to the trees. Tiny walkways made by the plants are hard to see what lies before. The wood of the tall trees would work great for shelter, and by one step making it easier to survive in the wild forest. It is in this favorable geographic envi- ronment that the civilization of the Glandia will be founded. It is a civiliza- tion whose design takes its inspira- tion from the study of the past civili- zations such as the Arabs, the Az- tecs, the Greeks, the Mayans, the Mesopotamians, and the romans, among the others. This book will document the necessary steps to take in order to create a successful civilization. 2 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f Humans are children of their environments. - Sinichi suzuki 3 Modifications Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f SECTION 1 Part I Analysis of the Problem The first step in building a successful civilization is to secure basic human needs such as food and water. Due to its geography, the major chal- lenges the civilization of Glandia faces achieving a food and water supply include the following: Id malesuada lectus. Suspendisse potenti.

Human changes to the land 4 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f A forest is not the easiest place to start a civilization in. The biggest envi- ronmental challenges in the forest are availability of water, vegetation, and soil. In the forest the soil is very hard and not saturated therefor it is hard to plow the soil. Also the forest is very dense with trees so you will need to clear some land for your crops. If you cannot plow the soil you cannot grow your crops. Then you cant feed the people of your civiliza- tion an your civilization wont grow. In the forest there are small creeks and rivers. For a growing civilization it is not enough water. It would be hard to control the water of rapid river, and could over flow and flood your civiliza- tion. Part III Proposed solution: An adaptation is a change to yourself and the way you live. A modification is when you make a physical change to the environment. You can make those changes to help you survive. The solution to having poor soil is to run an irrigation system through the crops to water the plants and make the soil less dense, and easier to plow. A similar technique to what the Mayans used, They first cleared 5 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f the land by cutting and burning all the trees and plants (Frey 268). Using slash and burn to clear the for- est will make more room for your civiliza- tion to grow crops. To collect and store the water you can build irrigation systems, dams, wells, aqueducts, and reser- voirs. To collect the rainwater you could hollow out trees, build under ground storages, and leather bags to carry the water around easier, like the May- ans did. To succeed ingrowing food, they needed a way to control the wa- ter so they would have a reliable wa- ter supply all year around. The modi- fications and adaptations are similar to the past, of mostly what the May- ans have done to make their civiliza- tion survive and thrive.
6 Mayans used aqueducts to help them control their water and make it easier to transfer water to different places. http://static.newworldencyclopedia.org/thumb/ 2/25/Nanzenji_aqueduct_channel.jpg/250px-N anzenji_aqueduct_channel.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f The peoples good is the highest law. -Cicero CHAPTER 2 7 Law and Government Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f CHAPTER 2 Reflection We have used mistakes from the past from the Spartans, Athens and the Ro- mans to make our government success- ful. To start voting in Glandia the people cant be to young and just coming out of school and does not have that much knowledge of the past, 60 is to old be- cause citizens are not as creative and they are loosing their memory. I would say around 35 because citizens have Maintaining Civil Order 8 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f fresh ideas and have knowledge from the past and know about previous govern- ments. When it comes to creating laws in Glandia, the peo- ple have chosen a smaller assembly council of 28 people like the Spartans (Council of Elders). To be elected to the Council of Elders, men had to be at least 60 years old and from a noble family Frey 265. My civilization chose that because then the people dont have, as much disagreement, and the meetings would be faster. To have less people it would be more significant and the people would get a lot done.Council of 500 like the Athens did it too much and a lot of disagreement, and they wont be able to hear everyones ideas. Also no people can come in to Glandia and veto a good law. The important lessons that the govern- ment should learn is satisfy all people, be fair to rich and poor. The leader has to be concerned about all the people, and the leader has to be concerned leading. Be honest with the civilization, not like the oli- garchy when they Paid spies to report anyone who criticized him Frey 256. And laws would be written down in a public place, like the twelve tables. I would start out as the governor and then have the person I trust the most take over. After that the people would vote whom they 9 http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb200805102219 59/gateworldeets/images/9/92/Spartans3.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f think would make the right laws and choices, but I have 30% of the vote. To make the laws I would have former gover- nors meet together as think of laws and debate which ones would be good to make, then the people will vote but I still have final say. In Glandia we would let everyone have power unlike the patricians and the plebe- ians. The plebeians did not have a lot power. As stated in Frey 319 Angry over there lack of power, the plebeians marched out of the city and camped on a nearby hill. They refused to come back un- til the patricians met their demands. The plebeians made up 95% of the civilization of Rome so almost everyone was gone. There were a group of 300 men called the senate. As stated by Frey 318 The sen- ate was a group of 300 men that the patri- cians elected. The senators served for life. In fact, the senates decision was treated as law. I would have former gov- ernors make up the laws and the citizens of Glandia vote, and I would have 30% of the vote in all the laws. In conclusion peo- 10 http://sjsdblogs.com/shelbykernshumanities/les/2013/09/246238-2ktc6hq.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f ple should learn from the past, and turn the mistakes into solutions. Code of Law The major threats to Glandia are youth rights and property. Youth rights can pre- vent accidents happening, like one should be old enough to do most things like buy goods, ride a transporting animal, and trading. Also pro perty is a big threat to Glandia, starting out with a small civiliza- tion there is lack of space. Since Glandia is growing, for the citizens to have prop- erty trees will have to be cut down. Cut- ting down a lot of trees is bad for the envi- ronment. In Rome there was the Twelve Tables, Twelve tables was where all the written down laws were. As the law in the Twelve Tables, A dead man shall not be buried or burned within the city. Burring or burning a man within the boundaries can violate the property of the city. Mak- ing more space in Glandia means more trees have to be cut down and more work for the people, when they can be making money and food for their family. All these laws are necessary to make it a safe envi- ronment. It is that all people shall follow these laws: 11 This is Glandia's government building. This is where the laws will be determined and where court meetings will be held. Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f I. If anyone is caught during a robbery they should spend the rest of their life in jail, and return the stolen items. II. If anyone is caught invading some- ones privacy or property they will have to pay 300 pops and spend 1 week working for them III. No person shall lie in court, and if caught will have to pay 5,000 pops IV. If one murders another they would have to pay 4,000 pops and spend the rest of their life in jail. V. You can start purchasing goods when you are 14, but you cant start trading un- til you are 16. If caught trading or purchas- ing goods when one is not old enough, one will have to pay 120 pops. I think youth rights are necessary be- cause it can prevent more accidents from happening. The laws are the solutions. When being to young and have not learned about present life and for exam- ple not know the rules of trading, and not knowing how to ride a transporting animal can cause harm to you and your family. I also think property is necessary because to harm ones property can lead to a con- flict and also leading up to pops. A law from the Twelve Tables stated Should a tree on a neigh- bors farm be bend 12 http://www.paperwritingservice.info/wp-content/upload s/2011/12/Paper-Writing-Service-Helps-with-Law-Thes is-Writing.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f crooked by the wind a lean over your farm, you make take legal action for re- moval of that tree. For example you can take place in cutting down the tree but with permission of the government. With an age limit and a property law Glandia can remain safe and in control. Laws I. If anyone is caught during a robbery they should spend the rest of their life in jail, and return the stolen items II. No person can violate each others property, III. If you murder someone they would have to pay 4,000 pops and spend the rest of their life in jail IV. You cant have a job that pays you un- til you are 12 V. No person should lie in court, and if caught will have to pay 5,000 pops VI. If a man were violent to a woman he would pay the women 500 pops and spend two months in jail. VII.

By limiting the num- ber of slaves would result in a more suc- cessful civilization. Julius Caesar was very successful when he took this step of limiting the amount of slavery. He halted the intensive use of slavery in rural areas and provided jobs for poor people by passing a measure requiring that a third of the ranch laborers become Roman citi- zens. With less slaves and more jobs, there would be more work for everyone. When there is more work people are hap- pier and can feed themselves and their families. Glandia can learn many things from the steps that Julius Caesar took to limit slavery. Based on lessons from the past Glandia will follow of the popular steps that Julius Caesar took to make Rome safer and to have less slavery. In Glandia I will try to reduce the amount of slavery, by keeping more jobs open and not selling slaves with property. By limiting the number of slaves estates could employ, poor free people were able to find more work. (Ju- lius Caesars Rule as Dictator) Also I am going to try to keep Glandia safer as Octa- vian did in Rome. Octavian was Cae- 14 http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20080510221 959/gateworldeets/images/9/92/Spartans3.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f sarss adopted son; the senates award him the title Augustus, which means, highly respected. Augustus tried to keep Rome safe by building a fire department and police force. To further improve safety, he also established a fire depart- ment and a police force. (Political leader- ship of Caesar Augustus) Repairing water channels and repairing roads can prevent accidents from happening, which I will do in Glandia. Trying to avoid the mistakes from the past and learning from them Glandia will become a successful civiliza- tion. Decline of the Western Roman Empire The main reason for the decline of the Western Roman Empire was political cor- ruption. Unlike Greece, the Romans did not have an organized way to choose the emperor. In Rome about 186 B.C.E the throne was not decide by the citizens it was given to the highest bidder, the money ended up going to the praetorian Guard who was control of the bidding. Having to buy the throne caused citizens to rebel. As stated in the (Decline of the Western Roman Empire). The army be- gan the practice of selling the throne to the highest bidder. Also there was an op- tion of the old emperor, Praetorian Guard, the senate, and the army to decide on 15 http://www.gutenberg.org/files/25717/25717-h/images/West- SE-thumb.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f who the next emperor would be. In Glan- dia civilization the throne will not be bought it will be earned. In conclusion, po- litical corruption was the decline of the Western Rome. Political corruption was the main reason for the decline of Rome. The first step that Glandia is going to take to let the peo- ple of Glandia have a say in whom the want the emperor to be. By having a mail- box in the town hall house everyone will be given an envelope and a piece of pa- per, and they will write down who they want to be emperor and two reasons why. During the next 100 years, Rome had 37 different emperors 25 of whom were re- moved from the office by assassination According to the (Decline of the Western Roman Empire). When it comes to choos- ing an emperor in Glandia we are going to have an age limit, over the age 60 will not allowed and under the age 24 will not be allowed either. Having this age limit will keep the votes and emperors under control. These steps are going to help Glandia be a successful civilization. 16 http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_thYNR4c26qs/R8Nex_NvdlI/AAAAA AAAAAQ/6cJ-fYD325k/S700/athens.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f As a [person] believes, so will the person act. - Sam Harris CHAPTER 3 17 Belief Systems Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f SECTION 1 To better understand the role of belief sys- tems within a civilization a how they can influence the actions and decisions of the people, consider the following moral di- lemma: Joe is a fourteen-year-old boy who wanted to go to camp very much. His fa- ther promised him he could go if he saved up the money for it himself. So Joe worked hard at his paper route and The Impact of a Beleif System 18 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f saved up the $40 dollars it cost to go to camp, and a little more besides. But just before camp was going to start, his father changed his mind. Some of his fathers friends decided to go on a special fishing trip, and Joe's father was short of the money it would cost. So he told Joe to give him the money he had saved from the paper route. Joe didn't want to give up going to camp, so he thinks of refus- ing to give his father the money. Civilizations can learn from the Hindu, Bud- dhist, and Con- fucianist to help us decide in tough mo- ments, such as this one. In this situation a Buddhist would give the money to the fa- ther. They would give the money to the fa- ther because they are not selfish people. They care for others, and for the dad it was a special fishing trip. As stated in Frey Be aware of but not attached to your emotion (159). A Also give the money because it was even Joe was at- tached to going camp he wasnt going to be selfish and didnt want to let his father down because he respected his father. A Buddhist would give the money because overall they are not selfish people and who never let someone they really cared about down. Joe could use Confucianism, Buddhism, and Hinduism to help him decide what to do. Also in this situation a Confucianist 19 These are the symbols that represent hin- duism, confucianism, and buddhism. http://media.washtimes.com/media/community/phot os/blog/entries/2011/06/26/raj-religious-symbols-64 0_s640x427.jpg?73b8e21685896c3f2859310aaa5adb 253919b641 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f would give the money to the father be- cause they respect the elders and the ones above them. If Joe did not respect his dad, Joe would not be reborn later af- ter he dies. For a Confucianist it would be his karma to give his dad the money. As stated in Frey Do not do to others what you would not want done to you (208 -209). Joe wasnt going to be attached to going to camp. In this situation the dad would do his dharma and repay his son after his fishing trip. A Con- fucianist would give the money because overall they re- spect the ones above them. Hinduism and Confucianism are very simi- lar in the belief system. Everyone cares for one another, the always promote good actions prevent evil ones. Without a belief system everyone will be fighting over what is right and wrong, and it will be harder to make decisions. In conclusion every successful civilization should have a belief system to keep it under control and running smoothly. The people within Glandia will be known for trust, fairness, and toughness, and with a belief system can change bad behaviors. Role of the Catholic Church and its main Belief Systems in Medieval Europe: 20 This is a ancient buddhist painting praying and following the beliefs of buddhism. http://gearspacex.wikispaces.com/le/ view/rk8_buddha.gif/289396319/228 x307/rk8_buddha.gif Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f The Roman Catholic Church in Medieval Europe grew both economi- cally and politi- cally powerful af- ter the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 C.E. The Roman Catholic Church started to grow both economically and politically by starting to collect the taxes known as the tithe from the citi- zens. The pope had lots of power, he and the church officials were the only people in the civilization that could read. Since the king did not know how to read the main language Latin, the pope gained power by reading the kings mail. Every- one followed the popes word because they wanted to achieve salvation. By the year 1050, the church was the largest landholder in Europe (Frey 33.) The church gained even more economic power by being the largest landholder in Europe, making it even more part of the civilization. With having the church be- ing the center of a civiliza- tion, it re- minds every- one to be open minded with the laws in order to gain salvation. Overall after the Collapse 21 Everyone following Gods laws and or- ders to achieve salvation. http://www.reachingcampus.com/salvation-among- greeks/ The church was one of the most powerful things in the middle ages, with everyone trying gain salvation. http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-AX1PMfmYjvg/Uch Upo8r9VI/AAAAAAAAAy4/QURk4xc-HRk/s 1600/roman+catholic.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f of the Western Roman Empire the Catho- lic Church gained economical and politi- cal power from the pope who was guiding everyone to gain salvation. The Catholic Church influenced peoples thoughts and deeds in the Middle Ages by everyone trying to gain salvation. Salva- tion was something that everyone wanted. Salvation was the time after death that you would go to paradise/ heaven. The people followed the Churchs laws, which came from God that the pope recited to the people to help gain salvation. During the middle ages it was a dark time. It was hard to gain salva- tion until Pope Urban gave a speech to join the Crusades. His last sentence at the end of the speech recited this All who die by the way, weather by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate [can- cellation] of sins (Two sides in a Cru- sade). Pope Urban said that if you took this journey and joined the Crusades you would immedi- ately gain salvation. In conclusion Pope Urban also led his civilization to gaining salvation by his speech influencing everyone. Glandias Main Beliefs: In an effort to create a successful civiliza- tion, the people of Glandia have estab- lished their own belief system. It shares 22 This is Pope Urban who gave the speech to take the journey and join the Cru- sades. http://www.art-prints-on-demand.c om/kunst/noartist/p/pope_urban_ii __zurbarn__163_35.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f similar religious beliefs and teachings with other world religious and helps the people of Glandia be less selfish and more open minded. Here are some exam- ples. One of the main beliefs in Glandia is Kind- ness, which is called gfuble. It is prac- ticed and carried out by making a deli- cious homemade meal and sharing it with others in the Glandia church. They also donate their old clothes to the less fortu- nate. By practicing gfuble on the 7th day of each month, the people within Glandia learn how to control their greed and to be more open-minded and to share with others in the community. This belief and how it is practiced is connected to the 4th pillar of Islam Siyam. In Siyam they practice fasting, which is not eating food for the day, and only eating at night- fall, as stated in Frey According to Is- lamic teachings, Ramadan was the month that God first revealed his massage to Mu- hammad (99). This day was important is to Islam, and same with Glandia teaching everyone to be more open minded. For example, the wealthy are giving more back to the community and not keeping all of their wealth to themselves. Overall, practicing this first belief controls greed and helps one to be more opened minded. Having this belief with in the Glandia people, has created a giving civili- zation. Another belief that is important to Glandia is respect, which is called runbun. Run- bun emphasizes to be kind and respect- ful to everyone. It will be practiced and carried out by spending a whole entire day with the one that has guided you 23 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f through life and has helped you through tough mo- ments. By prac- ticing Run- bun every 3 years people within Glandia will learn how to be nicer and respectful to everyone. This belief is like the practice of Confu- cianism, as stated in Frey To respect the elders and the ones above you (106). Re- spect is always good to have in a growing civilization to people within and around. Respect makes for a successful civiliza- tion because without respect people will be rude and not loyal to each other, which would cause lots of disagreements and make for and unpleasant civilization. In conclusion practicing Runbun is impor- tant to learn to be respectful to everyone. With this belief people can also learn to be more respectful to the ones that they are trading to. The last main belief in Glandia is prayer, known as Chala. It is practiced and car- ried out by going to the scared waterfall in Glandia known as koowoo. The people of Glandia visit Koowoo once a week and pray with their legs crossed and hands on their hearts and thinking of happy places and good deeds that can be done. The people within Glandia will learn to calm 24 Glandiass Church Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f themselves when stressed and to be more centered. This belief is like the sec- ond pillar of Islam Salat. As stated in Frey Through out the Muslim communities, people are called to prayer fives times a day at: sunrise, midday, noon, sunset, and after night fall. This belief is like the second pillar of Islam Salat (98). The peo- ple within Glandia will not pray everyday, but once a week. Also when the Glandi- ans pray once a week at the sacred water- fall, they will show that they are commit- ted to this belief. In conclusion by practic- ing Chala people will be more centered. Also by practicing this belief it will relax you, which would cause you to be respect- ful and kind to everyone.All these beliefs together create successful civilization and to help people know what is right from wrong. 25 These are the five pillars of Islam that people follow in order to have a better after life once they die. http://islamisislametastic.weebly.com/uploads/5/8/1/8/5818541/6183388. jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f A person may die, nations may rise and fall, but and ideas lives on. ~ John F Kennedy CHAPTER 4 26 Ideas Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f SECTION 1 The humanist mindset promoted many new ideas during the renaissance. Hu- manist promoted new ideas by rewarding individual not for their family or class. Hu- manist created ways A to gather and share new and different ideas. In the time of the renaissance they had new ways ad- vance government, social standing, catho- lic church, painting, sculpture, literature, science and math. They believed in indi- Id malesuada lectus. Suspendisse potenti. Etiam felis nisl, cursus bibendum tempus nec. Aliquam at turpis tellus. Id malesuada lectus. Suspendisse est lorem ipsum potenti. Power of Ideas 27 Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f vidual dignity that everyone was capable to learn new and more things. They be- lieved everyone had a good idea, and that could help someone. The ideas in these works inspired artist and scholars to start questioning old ideas and think dif- ferently about the world around them (Frey 31). In the renaissance times these ideas were promoted to everyone to help there culture advance. With mak- ing places for the people within and around to meet, it would be a helpful place to spawn and share ideas. Before the renaissance no new ideas were cre- ated. Without any ways to meet and share ideas they lacked on new ones. Overall with every idea humanist created help their culture advance. With the humanist mindset, humanist cre- ated new ways to express literature. Lit- 28 This was the time of the renaissance http://umaxpc.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/post-renaissance- period.jpg This is some books to represent the new ways of literature http://www.peopleandstories.net/images/banner.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f erature was very helpful in the time of the renaissance because the new ways helped people read and write. Also they did not write in Latin they wrote in their main language. They new ways to help express literature help scholars and phi- losophers to help with educating others Other ways to express literature was ex- pressing ones feeling in the writing and writing about more personal styles. In contrast, Renaissance writers were inter- ested in individual experience and in the world around them (Frey 328). With the world around them people started to write about non-religious topics. With most writ- ing being religious topics. With the new way to express literature people became more open minded about their writing. The practicing and teaching of the Catho- lic Church made people think the Catho- lic Church was corrupt. The Catholic Church taught everyone a certain way. The church thought it was a threat to the church when someone had a new idea and it was spread- ing, such as Martin Luther did when he believed there were only two sacraments in life. As many people in the time of the ren- aissance had new ideas or new ways to do things. Mar- tin 29 This was Martin Luthers church were he would promoted new ideas. Martin began this church af- ter he got excommunicated from the Catholic Church. http://www.german-way.com/images GW/Dresd_Fraunk-Luth300v.jpg Cooper, Grace Monday, June 2, 2014 2:55:21 PM Pacic Daylight Time 70:56:81:af:cc:9f Luther believed that there were only two sacraments in life, which were Baptism and Eucharist. When the church had many sacraments in life. The church be- gan to worry that Martin Luthers idea was threating his church they had many ways to deal with him. Martin Luther was excommunicated from the church, threat- ened with his life and his writings and teachings were forbidden. As stated in Frey Many Germans saw Luther as a hero. As his popularity grew, he continued to develop his ideas. (353). Martin did not give up Martin started his own church and started a new Christian denomination known as Lutheranism. As Luthers church advanced they were studying the bible in German not Latin. As many ideas threatened the Catholic Church, the ideas that were spread never died and kept within peoples minds.With Glandia grow- ing in power and economics, it would be challenged with the humanist mindset. When Glandia is challenged with a hu- manist mindset there are many ways to deal with this new idea.
