Chapter 6

While reading this chapter I found some pretty fascinating information in this chapter and it was the type that of information that one can understand in an easy pace and also because all of this  is something that has a similarity between several societies. I did find that the Nubian civilization,almost as old as Egypt itself.Throughout several the Nubian's civilization both traded and fought with Egypt and on one occasion the Nubian Kingdom of Kush took over Egypt and was able to maintain it throughout a century. Later on it crumbled down and Nubian Civilization was the one with the most populated people and that is when the civilization of Meroe came in because the Nubian's have settled in the southern part of that city.  It also a strong government and it would to be making a lot of accomplishments and what I mean by that is the technology advancements and money wise it would look like they would be keeping a steady pace and that would also go for the business...

Society and Inequality in Eurasia/North Africa

In the recent 250 years historians of world history have returned to the question of how the social rythme and for a long time have been wondering it to be something natural and permanent. People such as the French.Russian,Chinese had revolutionary obstacles and have created damaged old monarchies and class hierarchies. Organizations such as the Abolitionist who would pretty much attack slavery in the 19th century, and the women's movement had fought long and hard to gain their rightful place in society and not just them but also the abolitionist most people in that time was fight for their rightful place in society. Famous people in history like Mahatma Gandhi fought for India while it was going through its struggle for its independence in the 20th century as an attempt to raise the status of "untouchables" which means in Indian terms "Harridan" or in English it means "Nevertheless,caste,class,patriarchy, and also the most import...

Chapter 4 Cultural traditions and Different religions

 I found some pretty interesting things in this chapter mainly because of the topic that was based off religion and how it was viewed from both cultural sides of China and India.             What I found interesting about this was when in the text it would demonstrate about how the women were treated differently in society and what their roles were. From the Chinese side I did not think it was going to be that intense on their cultural side because they are mainly about discipline and they also made the Chinese religion a routine, but the thing that would split the difference from the both cultures is the the ladies are actually able to go to school, be able to perform in rituals. If a woman was almost at the top of her social class she would be able to choose the type of husband that she wants. In India it was somewhat understandable that they would want to keep to the cultural routines and traditions such as having the women as caretakers or ho...

Chapter 2 First Civilizations

Alex Jimenez After 3500 B.C.E a number of civilizations would make small achievements in order to create a new way of life which was later on which was later on slowly taken in which had people coming up with other ways of making a disciplinary routine Throughout the past 5,000 years there have been several civilizations that have turned out to create quite an interesting impression of how a human community was created and how which it had slowly increased up to a wide number of people and extended all the way to other larger territories even as other types of civilization would rise up to power, on the other hand some would have the misfortune of being totally destroyed but later on would have the opportunity to be rebuilt and changed in a way that it could survive for a longer period of time. As the first few civilization were being developed was going on race was not seen of as an importance but mainly if you were a person of great wealth and playing a high role in...
