In today’s society, women are not equal. There is still a wage discrepancy. There is still an argument that women’s bodies should be monitored and controlled, such as in the argument for pro-life.

A commonality in all civilizations is that they run on their own unique ethics, and have their own social structure that governs everyday life. Although the Ancient Egyptians, the Guptan Empire, and the Roman Republic seemingly have little in common on the surface, being of differing places and time periods, one commonality is that their religions effected the ethics and social structures of the civilization. All three of these societies at the base level were shaped in some ways by their…
