Augustus may have been the man in charge but without Rome’s advanced technology it would not have been possible. Augustus knew Rome’s technology was great and he worked that to the best of his ability which influenced his…
Davis and Wilbert Moore proposed a theory. The Davis-Moore thesis is about social stratification which the textbook defines as “a system by which a society ranks categories of people in a hierarchy” (Macionis, 2017, p. 215).

The activity didn’t require me to do anything to extreme and as…
