Secular Outlook - Chapter 4

The secular outlook on the world comes from a long line of history dated back to the second wave era as far as the early 1st century B.C.E. with Christianity.  The thinkers of this era go all the way back to the 9th century of the second-wave era with the religious/philosophic ideas. These regions have lead humans, even through today's world.

Intro

Howdy from Turlock, California, ya'll. I am a Bay Area native and moved to the valley 18 years ago.

I am a mother of 3 children and it was more important for me to invest my time to raise my children than stay in college. I chose to work full-time, be married, and raise a family instead.

These stories are jokes and communicate moral teachings about human and social behaviors. These tales were thought to expand the human thinking past the conformity and social conditioning of the way people think.

Chapter 13

The Great Dying is a reminder in today's world, that the history of the Americas repeats itself and pandemics have cycled around since before our time of COVID-19. The theory is the absence of pets or domesticated animals weakened the immunities of people to become ill with smallpox, malaria, yellow fever, the flu, and typhus. The Native American people died at alarming rates when they were exposed to the African/European diseases. Similarly, as in today's world, the ice age came about due to climate change of cool temperatures. Pandemic followed by a global climate crisis stemmed from the Great Dying and the Ice Age from 1450-1750. Who would have known nearly 600 years ago we would face the same type of issues of the spread of COVID wiping out mass amounts of the population, followed by global warming, which eventually leads to global cooling.
