Civilizations

Based on The Clash of Civilization by Samuel P. Huntington, it is believed that the future of this world is on the basis of civilization which can be subdivided into culture and religion. The future conflicts, arguments and differences are basically on the level of human fundamental component itself which is civilization. There will be no longer conflict about economy, nationality or ideas, but the core of those aspects. This future projection is made based on the transformation process that…

The River Valley civilizations are Ancient Egypt, China, Sumer, and the Indus River Valley. They are alike, but there are differences. I will be comparing the government, writing and social structure of the four civilizations. The structures of civilizations reflect the government’s choices; if the women had power then they would be able to take a high ranked position or even lead. The four governments had some similar ideas and some different ideas. In all four civilizations the rule was only…

The Maya were an advanced civilization that existed in present-day southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, northern Honduras, and El Salvador. They were positioned in one geographic area covering the Yucatan Peninsula; this smart choice of area indicated that the Maya were aware and looked to remained somewhat protected from invasion by other Mesoamerican groups that could come in from northern areas.

Contrasting River Valley Civilizations Four of the major river valley civilizations are Sumer, Egypt, the Indus Valley, and China. All of these civilizations have revolutionary discoveries and inventions. They each have invented something or come up with a custom we still use today. For example, Sumer invented the wheel, and China used coins when trading. Each civilization also has their advancements in technology, but I believe that Egypt was the most advanced of these four civilizations. For…

The Indus Valley Civilization is a 4600 year old civilization along the river Indus.

Though its counterparts in the west survived for a lot more time than the Harrapan civilization, it is considered to be a technological advanced and a prosperous rule. Although we are yet to decipher the language of the Harrapans…

River Valley Civilizations’ Contributions Past civilizations have contributed many things that have influenced future, or present, civilizations.

Down in History The Maya civilization was one of the most dominant indigenous societies of Mesoamerica (a term used to describe Mexico and Central America before the 16th century Spanish conquest). Unlike other scattered indigenous populations of Mesoamerica, the Maya covered a wide territory of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Belize and El Salvador. This concentration helped its people develop one of the most astonishing and unique cultures in the antique world, where the level of knowledge,…

With crop surplus, and advances in specialized labor, many civilizations became connected through the exchange of goods. River civilizations and pastoral societies had many similarities regarding gender relations, and economics. However, nomadic societies didn’t require an intricate political structure. During the early stages of civilization, both urban-based river and pastoral societies had specialized labor, which led to development of goods, and with that, new forms of trade. As well as,…
