First, I have to introduce myself, my name is Ibn Sina. I am 52 years of age, and I am Iranian. I was born in a small place near Bukhara called Afshaneh. I first started school in Bukhara and I listened closely and studied a lot by the age of 10, I knew a lot about science and many verses from the Quran. When I grew older I started studying medicine I just so happened to cure the king of Bukhara when all the physicians and chemists gave up! He wanted to reward me with sliver, gold or anything I desired but I said no I would rather use the library to expand my knowledge. When I was twenty-one I wrote my own book and became a highly trained physician. Sadly when my dad died I decided to leave Bukhara and left to a place called jurjan to clear my head there. I met a very good person named Al-Biruni. I decided later to move to two places to discover new things and finally write another book I decided to call “Al-Quanun fi Al-tibb”. I was also voted one of the greatest thinkers of my time; I branched out and did astronomy, math and many other sciences. In the end, I wrote approximately 400 pieces of work and so far I have written 98 books but I am planning on writing another one. Now enough …show more content…
This book covered over 760 drugs and other illnesses including: meningitis, child health and many more. This can tell generations of my work and give them a head start of finding cures to all the illnesses and showing them some knowledge on the cures I have found. This helps the empire advance in medicine and we would not have to be scared of getting sick. This is why I made the most scientific advancement in the empire; A world without my knowledge, the world would be crawling with illnesses and deadly diseases and people die in huge numbers and if everyone is dead or sick how would the empire advance? This shows health is the most important element of
KAILI HONG PER.3 THE ISLAMIC EXPANSION The early Islamic empire expanded in a couple of ways. One of the ways was the war. I found this evidence in document A where it says that the Muslims to fight gathered together to fight the Greeks. The Greeks would tie each others foots to each other so none of them would escape during the war.
As mentioned in Napoleons’ Button (Couteur and Burreson, 2003), ever since the discovery of penicillin, wound infection declines, saving plenty of lives, especially during the World War 2. The rapid advancement of drugs has indeed come a long way and even revolutionized the world. Drugs such as paracetemol helps to subside one’s fever and provide pain relief. On the other hand, drugs that are widely used illegally such as cocaine would be detrimental to one’s personal health when consumed. In any case, the mere existence of drugs is good in nature.
IS THE POSSIBILITY OF POST-ANTIBIOTICS REAL? Imagining the Post-Antibiotics Future is an essay written by Maryn McKenna to emphasize focus on our lack of appreciation for what antibiotics have done for us and will continue to do for us, but only if we let them. She presents a very insightful and eye opening argument. She relies heavily on a very personal story as well as many facts and research to create such a convincing argument. McKenna begins her essay with recalling a time in which she found out about the death of her great-uncle due to a very infection.
The Islamic Empire was huge, large, and untied. The early Islamic empire expanded by fiercely attacking and conquering other lands, as well as uniting them. To start off, In Document A (which is reliable because it happens to be written by Muslim historian Ahmad al-Biladuri in the 800s) it talks about how they killed 70,000 people. Even girls helped in creating a bloodbath which shows how fierce and strong they were on a battlefield and how they easily took more lands.
The Islamic empire was situated directly between two powerhouses: Europe and China. They had managed to fend off conquest by the Arabs, who were taking over land from Spain to India, but they were struggling. Both were infested with plagues that killed off hundreds of thousand of citizens. Europe was stuck in the Middle Ages, where trade was nonexistent and medicine primarily consisted of guesswork and foolish ideas. China’s merchants were on the bottom of society, and so trade suffered there, on top of an eventual Mongol threat.
The crusades were a huge thing in the medieval times. They lasted for hundreds of years and people believed it was their religious duty to fight, because they thought it would please God. They were also promised access to heaven, by the pope. The crusades involved three main religions Christianity, Judaism and Islam. I believe that the muslims were more to blame for the crusades, because they posed the first threat, and because they killed and sold many into slavery.
In the previous five decades, the movement of prescription has been fast and dynamic. Therapeutic examination has set down into investigation and discovering cures for some illnesses through surgical strategies, medications and antibodies thus over the long haul enhancing the wellbeing models and life range of people as a rule. This is in course to a customized prescription, "the fitting of medicinal treatment to the individual attributes of every patient. It doesn't truly mean the formation of medications or restorative gadgets that are interesting to a patient, but instead the capacity to order people into subpopulations that vary in their helplessness to a specific sickness or their reaction to a particular treatment". Because of variety in the human genome, medicinal treatment including medications and treatments may be for a particular gathering of individuals.
Islam started in Mecca during the time of the powerful prophet Muhammad. Through military conquest, trade, and pilgrimages, Arab Muslims forces gained vast territories over time. Muslims inherited countless costumes from Greece, Rome, and India. Also they would adopted new advances in mathematics, astronomy and Muslims. This includes Greece, Rome, and India.
The Wahhabi and Salafist movements have become increasingly influential throughout the Middle East and the world. They have been an integral part of the dynamic religious conflict in the Middle East and have helped propagate the current terrorist movements throughout the world. To understand what makes these movements so popular, we must revisit the roots of Wahhabism and Salafism and their similarities and differences. Wahhabism was founded by Mohammed Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the eighteenth century. Wahhabism “stresses the absolute sovereignty of God.”
Medicine was not knowledge at the time and often led soldiers to spread illness rather
During the 600’s, Islam began to spread fast throughout the region, but they’re many reasons why Islam is still around today and has been successful in gaining followers since then. But why did it spread so fast? It could be because of the followers Muhammad had, and the routes that Islam traveled on that it became the phenomenon that it is today. Why is it a well known religion today? The devoted followers are the base of the answer.
In the epilogue, his wife, Lucy, wrote about when he started writing the book in bursts of when he felt that he had enough energy to type. On his deathbed “He asked us to ensure that his manuscript be published in some form” (Kalanithi 210). He wanted to share his experience and knowledge of dying with
Islam is a religion, so how do you think it came about. Well because of trade, military conquest, and political order. All of these subjects are why Islam spread so quickly. In document A, the passage was talking about trade. During 570, in the Middle East Islam spread so quickly through trade.
At the time not even the most straightforward diseases, for example,not even the common cold was curable. Until the best medicinal disclosure at the time was accidently found in 1928. Starting its potential amid World War 2, the entire world needed its hands on it. It was Penicillin. Penicillin left an imprint in our history, it expanded medicinal innovation, manufacturing and even diminished diseases.
Since as long as human life has been recorded, humans have been creating and inventing countless things to suit each need. Whether that be how we shelter ourselves, to how we hunt, or now in day, how we can provide a cure to live a little longer. Or as some people call it- medicine.
