Well, these sources were organized in a way where we can see the laws and the opinions on these laws. But right of the bat, I noticed that for the most part all of the laws were towards keeping the Jews "under control". Like, I remember that for the first few laws it spoke of what the Jews can and can't do and the extremity of there punishment if they were to break such Laws.

It was interesting to read about the Opium trade the, first seeing as though I didn't know what Opium was and learning about it, and secondly learn about the addiction problem it brought to China. The comparison between China and the Ottoman Empire was almost amazing to see how similar they were civilization was but it was there falling that was the biggest contrast. It was also interesting to hear that Japna was better at transforming into modernization than China was, and not only transforming but being able to keep it that way.
