 :The Mongol Empire under Genghis Khans’ rule was able to conquer the largest contiguous region in World History during A.D. 1206-1227. Historians consider Genghis Khan to be a military genius. He was also known as Chinggis. He built a powerful and massive army based on meritocracy. This system allowed for promotion based on merit not friendship or seniority.  (Sandro)

 :The Crusades were a series of wars that covered almost 200 years of history. Many of the Crusades were not a success, in fact only two were successful and the rest failed. The purpose of the Crusades was to make Jerusalem a safe place for Christian pilgrimages. People today have different views on the Crusades. Some people, mainly Christians, are in complete agreement with them and even compare them to the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq. Yet others completely avoid the comparison between the two because the Crusades remain a controversial issue, mainly by opponents of Christianity who claim that it was unjust violence by Christians.  (Amanda)

 :I think that our society has greatly lessened the importance of teenagers in the social experiment of adolescence. Instead of being required to grow up, and shoulder responsibilities, we are allowed, almost expected to be irresponsible, and are not encouraged to be influential.  I believe that teenagers are going to be adults, and to not allow them to participate in history, to bar them from being influential, is to shoot society in the foot. We are going to be part of history; we are going to influence it. The best course of action would be to encourage and guide this, as opposed to continuing the failed experiment of adolescence.  (Michelle)
+:It's definitely to be encouraged!  Teenagers have so many opportunities to have a huge impact today, maybe even more than back then.  Kathryn Cunningham has her own company, Power-Up Gambia, that provides solar panels to Gambia.  Kjerstin Erickson's project called FORGE has helped war refugees in five countries.  We can make a difference with God's help.  (Sarah)
