They were located in fertile river valleys, created agricultural surpluses, and had specialization of labor.
What did the early civilizations of Mesopotamia and Indus River Valley have in common?
In hunting and gathering societies there is little social stratification since nobody is better off due to the use of only simple technologies that are available to everyone equally. Agricultural societies have more advanced technology and can create surpluses in resources. People do not have to spend all their time growing food and can specialize into different jobs. A social class structure will emerge with different social layers due to the specialization of labor and the emergence of social injustice, with the elite on top that has all the influence and power and the workers on the bottom. Industrial societies have the most advanced technology which creates more opportunities for the workforce due to more education. Inequalities typically weaken because a better-educated workforce can participate in decision making.
How did the increasing development of technology affect social stratification?
The Punic Wars were wars between the Roman Republic and the powerful and expanding city-state Carthage, located in North Africa. In the First Punic War, Romans attacked the Carthage-controlled island of Sicily and won. In the Second Punic War, the Carthaginian Hannibal led his army through Spain and the Alps to Rome. He won some battles but could not take Rome. In the Third Punic War, Rome attacked Carthage, burned it to the ground, and took its empire. As a result of the Punic Wars, Rome gained a lot of land in North Africa and on the Iberian peninsula which expanded Rome’s empire significantly.
Explain the Punic Wars and their effects on the rise of the Roman Empire.
Confucianism’s goal is to create a peaceful society. A peaceful society can be reached by proper conduct, respect for elders, education, and service to the government. There are five fundamental relationships and people must know their position in every relationship and fulfill their obligations in these relationships. Those above must be kind to those below, and those below should respect and obey those above. The five relationships are ruler and subject, parent and child, husband and wife, older sibling and younger sibling, and friend and friend. The most important relationship is filial piety where children must respect and show responsibility to their parents.
What is the goal of Confucianism and how can it be reached?
About 500 years ago, a German monk called Martin Luther protested against the Catholic Church since he disliked the indulgences that the church sold to absolve sin. Luther thought that the church has become corrupt. He wanted the church to be reformed and go back to accepting the bible as the only and ultimate authority. He believed that people can only reach salvation through their faith, not their deeds. He wrote down his thoughts in the “95 Thesis” and was excommunicated from the Catholic Church. This led to the Protestant Church splitting from the Catholic Church.
What was the Protestant Reformation and who started it?
Buddhism believes that a person will be reborn again and again until the person reaches Nirvana. Their karma and personality will be reborn into another body.

A person reaches Nirvana and is released from all suffering once all greed, hatred, and delusions are extinguished.
According to Buddhism, what happens when a person dies?

When the professor confirmed Johnny's anonymity (the professor didn't know who he was), Johnny quickly slipped his exam paper into the pile of exams and ran off, so the professor wouldn't know which exam paper deserved an F. Congratulations on sticking through the whole riddle.
Johnny's dad had told Johnny that if he could get an A+ on his final exam, he could get any ice cream flavor he wanted plus a pizza. When the day for the final exam came, the professor said, "There are three questions on this exam. You will have one hour to answer them all and no more. Anyone caught taking any longer or cheating will get an automatic F." When Johnny received the paper, he read the first question. As he read it, he realized the exam was no piece of cake so he worked as hard as he could. When he finally finished question one, he checked the clock. There was only 5 minutes left! At this rate, he wouldn't be able to finish in time. As Johnny looked around, he saw that there were hundreds of students and figured that he could get away with a few extra minutes, so he worked away past the hour mark. As Johnny went to turn in his paper, the professor stopped him. "Young man," the professor said sternly. "I saw you keep working long after the 1-hour mark. You were caught cheating and will get an F." Thinking quickly, Johnny replied, "Do you know who I am?" The professor stoically responded, "I neither know or care who you are. You need to learn respect and discipline." "Good." said Johnny and he ran away. When the day for the exam scores to be announced came, Johnny received an A+. How?
