A golden age for al-Andalus

The 1000's and 1100's were a golden age for al-Andalus in the aspect of politics. The reason they had a golden age in politics is that they could easily communicate with the citizens. To communicate they used common language and common coinage. Being able to communicate helped the buerocracy This is similar to the way things are today because we still use a common language and common coinage. Now, we use English instead of Arabic and bills instead of coins. To conclude, I think the 1000's and 1100's were a golden age in the area of politics because they could easily communicate with the citizens and had a buerocracy to carry out orders given by the person with the highest authority.

The 1000's and 1100's were also a golden age for al-Andalus in their economy. They were flourishing because Córdoba the largest city in Western Europe so many people from far away went there to trade their goods . at the market they sold goods from all over the region. This is similar to today's reality because we still go to big market (most commonly referred to as malls). Malls sell things from all over the area and several people go there to buy and sell things. In conclusion i think that the 1000's and 1100's were a golden age for al-Andalus in the aspect of economics because they traded from all over the region bringing money into the empire and and offering jobs,

The 1000's and 1100's were also a golden age for al-Andalus in the area of social-culture. It was a golden age because Córdoba was a major learning and culture center. Also since there were lots of people from many places there were many different cultures in that region. This is similar to today because we still have centers made for learning and several people are still living here so they all share their cultures with each other. To conclude, the 1000's and 1100's were a part of the golden age fro al-Andalus in the area of social-culture because of the great learning centers and all the people with many different cultures.

Finally, the 1000's and 1100's were a golden age for al-Andalus in the area of technology because the people there were very advanced in their knowledge. For example, there were a few people who wrote encyclopedias of their knowledge which helped add to other studies. This is similar to today because people still record what they know in books and these books help expand the knowledge of other people. In conclusion, I think that the 1000's and 1100's were a golden age for al-Andalud in the aspect of technology because they had advanced knowledge.
