Canaan And The Conquest Of Mongolia
1. The conquest of Canaan as described in these two sources has a lot in common. First off both of the accounts show that the people of Israel were invading all kinds of foreign people. They had received instructions from God on how to go about obtaining this land. In both of the two accounts the people are commanded to invade, conquer, and then exterminate all the people living in these cities. There are exceptions to this though; Rehab and the man who showed the spies where to enter are two exceptions. Also they are to put both male and female to the sword. Also many times they are also told by God to burn the cities. The accounts do differ though. In the Joshua account the people are obedient to God's will. (That is killing and burning these

    In “Canaanites, Cowboys, and Indians”, Robert Warrior primarily explains the biblical story of the Exodus and how it should not be used as a liberating text in general, but especially why it is inappropriate in the case of the Native Americans. Warriors starts off by saying that Christians try to fight for the rights of Native Americans and that because of the church’s prosperous financial, political, and institutional resources, this help is much needed. Nevertheless, Warrior then explains that the inclusion of Native Americans in Christian political praxis is difficult mainly because Christians have a different way of going about the struggle for justice than most Native Americans, and they refuse the idea that Indians might know best how…

    Another reason for the Mongols being able to create such an extensive empire was their laws and governance. All Mongolians were governed by a law created by Genghis Khan called Yassa. Yassa means order or decree. One of the main laws in the code was that “the rank shared much of the hardship as the common man” (The Mongol Empire).

Their empire was governed by a non-democratic system in which the Mongol chiefs met with Genghis khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies. They decided to create an extensive postal system in which merchants and messengers could do their jobs better. A national seal was also created. Taxes…
