It focuses on society as a set of interrelated parts that work together to produce a social system. Emile Durkheim and Herbert Spencer influenced it.…

The first piece of physical evidence of ancient civilization I want to discuss is Otzi the Iceman. In September of 1991, hikers in the Ötztal Alps stumbled on a body that was still partially frozen in a glacier. The Body was made discoverable due to climate changes forcing the glacier to melt. The hikers originally thought that they had found an unfortunate hiker who had disappears just a few decades ago.

persists of my life is my culture, from my parents and my peers. The culture I have from my parents is the types of different food we eat that aren't easy fix-ups.

1. Please tell us in which type of culture you were raised (individualistic or collectivist) and explain how you came to this conclusion.

It also made commanders see guns as the future of warfare, even if firearms at the moment still had some drawbacks. This mentality resulted in that the defensive tactics of the fifteen century saw a huge decrease in their effectiveness when artillery emerged on the battlefield at the battle of Crécy in 1346.
