introduction to part 2
REFLECTION:
Civilization grew throughout the years from agriculture to the industrial revolution.
During these years society expanded and then collapsed. This cycle went on and on throughout history. Compared to the other eras, Paleolithic era, population/ society did not grow rapidly as it used to. In this introduction it shows how human journey was very important during the time. As society started to increase more varieties of cultures came into life and from then on political diversity showed diversity. This introduction is important because it shows to the people that this is how people started to do trading and sharing new ideas and technology to other countries.
CHAPTER 4
REFLECTION:
Chapter 4 talks about Eurasia sees second wave civilization in the Mediterranean world. The chapter goes onto talking about empires and which countries had the largest and how it gave impact. This leads onto how a social hierarchy formed and from there how each of the countries developed. The chapter explains how settlers back then brought new ideas, technology, language, culture and many more to the Greeks. As countries became developed, a citizenship started to form. This is where free people are running the affairs of the state. However, during that time only the high upper classes in Greece had the right of citizenship. The chapter then slowly goes into the collision between the Greeks and the Persians. In this chapter it talks about how people back then did much more expeditions than now. People wanted to learn and know more, so that there countries/cities would be developed and powerful. This shows how humans, in the present, have enough knowledge to learn, thanks to the people back in time. Every country was busy in increasing and expanding there land and society, so that there country would not be lower than other countries out there. This led to the rise of empires and more power. Since every country wanted power, this led to controversies , wars, and slavery. Every country battled and fought with each other, so that they could have more. This caused other weak, small countries to collapse because of the greed other big, strong countries had.
