Culture and Religion in Eurasia/North Africa

This chapter recognizes the leading religions of the world and their origins in human history. Around 500 B.C.E. these religions started to emerge in China, India, the Middle East, and Greece. Over hundreds of years humans have structured our societies and laws around these moral obligations provided by these religions. Confucianism and Daoism from China, Hinuism and Buddhism from India, in the Middle East Islam and Christianity each stem from a form of judaism, and in Greece philosophers including plato, socrates, and aristotle introduced rationalism.

World History Chapter 2 - First Civilizations This chapter recognizes the first people on earth and there communities. Starting with the Code of Hammurabi this chapter lets us see what morals and laws that governed our ancient ancestors. This chapter also teaches us about the first symbols or form of writing engraved in stone. This gives us in my opinion some of the most insight we have of these civilizations.

State and Empire in Eurasia/North Africa 500 B.C.E-500 C.E. In this era it reveals that empires had risen and fallen regularly. Everything in civilization was basically in a plateau where no new innovations, (after the agricultural revolution) were being made or discovered. Empires and states looked to conquer one another. The population of humans began to grow. "Wisdom traditions" were brought to light in this time era too. These are confucianism, daoism, hinduism, buddhism, ratianolism, judaism, islam and christianity. All originating from either china, india or the middle east. Slaves were common in these civilizations. A theme for this chapter is what makes up an empire? The answer is that it is a series of states that coercively work together with agriculture, business' and a military to conquer foreign states/land to provide for the empire.
