What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

World History Final

1. For the period 600 BCE to 1200 CE, compare and contrast the societies of Africa with the societies of the Americas. (This can be done by selecting several points of comparison, and then using just one or two societies from Africa and one or two from the Americas as examples to illustrate your points).

2. Compare and contrast the society and culture of the Islamic Civilization and Christian Civilization (“Christendom”) during the period of time Strayer calls the “Third Wave” of civilization, and what is also sometimes called the “Middle Ages” (approximately 600-1450 CE at its broadest). Please note, this is not asking you to compare the religious beliefs of the religions of Islam and Christianity, but rather to focus on the broader society and culture of these two civilizations.

3. All of these chapters in Part 3 of your texbook talk about the impact of increasing connection between civilizations (whether through trade, exploration, or conquest) on cultures (including religions). What do you feel were the three most important cultural impacts of these growing connections, and why did you pick those?

4. First, explain how a relatively small number of Mongols come to create the world’s largest land empire. Second, think about Part 3 of your book (which includes Chapters 7-12): All of Part 3 deals with increasing interactions between civilizations as trade and commerce expanded, and about how the cultures of the world were changed because of this. So then, why is there a chapter about the Mongols in this section of the book? (Or put another way – describe the role the Mongols played in creating a more interconnected world).

Johnson Bank v. George Korbaken Company, LLP]


The IRAC Method of Briefing a Legal Case

When briefing a case, your goal is to reduce the information from the case into a format that provides a helpful reference for review. Most important, by “briefing” a case, you will grasp the problem the court faced (the issue), the relevant law the court used to solve it (the rule), how the court applied the rule to the facts (the application or analysis), and the outcome (the conclusion). You will then be ready to discuss the case and compare and contrast it to other cases involving similar issues.
• Before attempting to “brief” a case, read the case at least once.
• Follow the IRAC method in briefing cases:
• I = Issue
• R = Rule of Law/Rationale
• A = Analysis/Discussion
• C = Conclusion/Court’s Decision

Issue
Write a brief summary of the facts as the court determined. Eliminate facts that are not relevant to the court’s analysis. For example, a business’s street address is probably not relevant to the court’s decision of the issue of whether the business that sold a defective product is liable for the resulting injuries to the plaintiff. However, suppose a customer who was assaulted as she left a store is suing the business. The customer claims that her injuries were the reasonably foreseeable result of the business’s failure to provide security patrols. If the business is located in an upscale neighborhood, then perhaps it could argue that its failure to provide security patrols is reasonable. If the business is located in a crime-ridden area, then perhaps the customer is right. Instead of including the street address in the case brief, you may want to simply describe the type of neighborhood in which it is located. (Note: The time of day would
be another relevant factor, among others, in this case).

What is the question presented to the court? Usually, only one issue will be discussed, but sometimes there will be more. What are the parties fighting about and what are they asking the court to decide? For example, in the case of the assaulted customer, the issue for a trial court to decide might be whether the business had a duty to the customer to provide security patrols. The answer to the question will ultimately determine whether the business is liable for negligently failing to provide security patrols. Whether the defendant owed plaintiff a duty of care, and what that duty of care is, are key issues in negligence claims.

Write the issue in question form, for example, by asking “whether,“ “does,“ “if,“ or “what.“

Rule of Law/Rationale
Determine what the relevant rules of law are that the court uses to make its decision. These rules will be identified and discussed by the court. For example, in the case of the assaulted customer, the relevant rule of law is that a property owner’s duty to prevent harm to invitees is determined by balancing the foreseeability of the harm against the burden of preventive measures. There may be more than one relevant rule of law to a case. For example, in a negligence case in which the defendant argues that the plaintiff assumed the risk of harm, the relevant rules of law could be the elements of negligence, and the definition of assumption of risk as a defense. Don’t just simply list the cause of action, such as  “negligence” as a rule of law: What rule must the court apply to the facts to determine the outcome?

Analysis/Discussion
This may be the most important portion of the brief. The court will have examined the facts in light of the rule, and probably considered all sides and arguments presented to it. How courts apply the rule to the facts and analyze the case must be understood in order to properly predict outcomes in future cases involving the same issue. What does the court consider to be a relevant fact given the rule of law? How does the court interpret the rule: for example, does the court consider monetary costs of providing security patrols in weighing the burden of preventive measures? Does the court imply that if a business is in a dangerous area, then it should be willing to bear a higher cost for security? Resist the temptation to merely repeat what the court said in analyzing the facts: what does it mean to you? Summarize the
court’s rationale in your own words. If you encounter a word that you do not know, use a dictionary to find its meaning. Conclusion/Court’s Decision

What was the final outcome of the case? In one or two sentences, state the court’s ultimate finding. For example, “The business did not owe the assaulted customer a duty to provide security patrols.“
