The system of selective college admissions, for the most part, is based on tests geared to favor US middle- and upper middle class students, not students of the working class, or of different cultures, who may not have had comparable opportunities (Sternberg, 2004).
A powerful sultan in the Ottoman Empire was Mehmet II also known as Mehmed the Conqueror. He ended the Byzantine Empire and conquered Constantinople (which was then the capital of the Ottoman Empire). Mehmed is still considered a highly influential and inspirational figure in modern-day Turkey and many sites around the country are named after him.
Upon making Constantinople (present-day Istanbul) the new capital of the Ottoman Empire in 1453, Mehmed II assumed the title of Kayser-i RÃ»m (literally Caesar Romanus, i.e. Roman Emperor.) In order to consolidate this claim, he would launch a campaign to conquer Rome, the western capital of the former Roman Empire.
