Document Summary
Separate sphere ideology, thought by rousseau, is that men and women are meant for separate spheres. Women are on a more private sphere; they are better in the home and with children. Men are on public sphere; they are better with business and are wild. They go home and women will calm them. Muhammad dies in 632 and there is a dispute over muhammad"s succession in islam. Sunnis win, but the split develops over time. Sunnis are 85% of the population and focus on good behavior, follow laws which scholars determine, and more like protestants. Shias are 15% and focus on theology, priestly class, and ayatollah is their leader who runs the government. The scientific revolution brought on new ways of thinking such as the scientific method. Confidant in their calculation performed using the scientific method, scientists such as isaac newton (1642-1727) sought universal laws that applied to all matter and motion.
