1. First, think about the content of the course.
    • How has this course changed your understanding of the history of science?

This course was able to show me that the scientific revolution did not occur at one specific time and was not exclusive to Europe. Stories told about Potosi and how Cajete told their stories show that scientific revolutions occurred at different times, levels, and locations. The scientific revolution was mainly seen in Europe because of their written records being passed down and you can argue that because of their written records Europe was the main story to define scientific revolution. However, science is seen being passed down through other methods unlike written records. Potosi had the method passed down through generations in the family and work. The evidence in Potosi that there was scientific advancement was the machinery, mints, techniques and people that showed the advancements.

  1. Second, think about how the content of the course might be relevant to you.
    • How does the content you have learned relate to the present day? Does it help you understand anything about the modern world?

Its relevant now because there are scientific revolutions occurring even now. Although it may not be seen, any region in the world can have this happen. For those that can write records into databases like ncbi and pubmed we can see that there are still novel experiments and theories that are being produced to create a more modern world. Due to the advancements of written records, we can sare information to anyone with available internet. With information as strong as what we have available now, any location on earth can advance their own technologies and science. This creates more scientific revolutions and spreads even more knowledge. From here we can concur that the world can only improve.
