Origins and Descent             I am from Kunming City in the Province of Yunnan in the People’s Republic of China. Kunming city has a registered total of six million people. Of the six million, four million come from the majority Han ethnicity, while the other population spreads between nineteen different ethnicities (Joniak-Luthi 15). The Hans and the Manchu form the largest population. As a Han, it is simple to trace my origins, which then allows me the natural authority to track and understand my descent. Understanding of origin and descent is essential in national transparency and cohesion. Countries such as Israel and Palestine and Armenia and Turkey are in political discontent and conflict due to a lack of understanding and conceptualization of their origin and descent. Origins in Time and Space Due to lack of contemporary data on their origin, the Han Chinese trace it through archeological discoveries of cultural sites along the yellow river dating as 7000-6500 BCE under the Jiahu culture, then to the Yanshao Culture dating 5500-3500 and finally the Longshan Culture dating 3500 to 2500 BCE…

World Civilization 1500 to Present              Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that dominated the world of ideas in Europe in the 18th century. Most of its designs are centered on the impression that reason as the primary source of authority and legitimacy. Therefore, it can advocate for separation in both social and class organization. Before the enlightenment, every law and decision that was made and accepted only by the king. This showed that there was a traditional social structure that consists of monarchy being at the top, followed by the noble class and then all of the lower levels at the bottom. When people of western society began to receive ideas from enlightenment, most scholars and thinkers were able to realize how wrong the ways of the king were (Powell 25). This abducted change in the social and class organization as ideas of the enlightenment motivated people. They were challenged by a traditional social and political structure, which eventually led to human rights for everyone.  Before these changes, rules and laws were set to be the cork stone as they…

It is expected that these dangers will keep on being an issue if the strategic move isn’t made to counter them. The UN is assuming a critical job in guaranteeing that they help in keeping these dangers from spreading in different parts of the world. This article will concentrate on the less the four threats facing the global; globalization, cultural taboos, lack of education, and energy resources. These four are said to be less critical since their impact can be controlled. Right off the bat, non-sustainable power source assets are a danger to nature.

Furthermore, there is globalization around the world, and the vast majority accept that globalization is a risk that brings disparity of countries and undermines business…

Ancient Egypt was North Africa’s civilization Ancient Egypt was North Africa’s civilization and was concentrated in the Nile River’s reaches. According to conventional Egyptian chronology, Prehistoric Egypt civilization took place in 3100BC after the unification of the Lower and Upper Egypt (O’connor & Reid, 2016). Ancient Egypt is quite different in its means of gaining wealth when compared to other ancient empires. Egypt reached its pinnacle of power after the New Kingdom was created. Egyptian people were unified in promoting their bureaucracy without invading other nations; this made Egyptians different from Romans, Greeks, and Persians. The success of Egypt came partly due to its adaptability within the Nile River Valley conditions through agriculture. Controlled irrigation and predictable flooding aided in the production of surplus crops, which helped in social development and the support of the kingdom’s dense population. With vast resources to spare, the empire’s administrators sponsored the exploitation of minerals in the desert and valley regions. Nile River has always been the lifeline in Egypt, providing them the opportunity to have a centralized and sophisticated society (O’connor & Reid,…

The End of the Roman World The Roman formed a government, which began when the Roman overthrew their Etruscan conquerors, who ruled the Roman for many years (Terrenato, Nicola). The citizens elected the representatives to rule on their behalf. The wealth class dominated the early roman republic who implemented effective policy. For example, during the war, the senate and consuls appointed a leader to rule the period of crisis. The leader had the power to make decision and control over the military, which led to reliable political power which governed the republic. The roman culture was borrowed from Greek, and the families were not only marked by blood relation(Terrenato, Nicola). They were also legally constructed in the relation of Patria. The secure connection contributed to strong power cultural relationships where the Roman law recognized patrician families as a legal entity. This paper aims to describe the reasons that led to Rome’s growth to a position of political and cultural power. Rome becomes the most powerful state in the world in the first century BCE due to the combination of military…

Primates Explain why primates are not easily distinguished as a taxonomic group and give a specific example. Other than having human beings in the order of primates, the taxonomic unit includes lorises, monkeys, lemurs, apes, and tarsiers. The order cannot be distinguished easily because cardinal has got more than three hundred species, which makes it the third most diverse order of mammals after the rodents and the bats. For instance, primate can be classified as mammals in the taxonomic units instead of being recognized as an independent group of classification. Describe the arboreal hypothesis as a reason primates took to arboreal living as an adaptive niche. The arboreal theory is a concept that describes the history of the primates as it notes that the unique set of characteristics in primates is an adaptation to live in trees. Grasping hands and feet became vital to maintaining the tree branches; binocular vision-enabled greater depth of awareness to determine the gap between the tree and the ground, the scent was no longer needed to uncover foodstuff and superior knowledge. Explain the visual predation…

Technology in World Civilization Question 1 For decades humans have walked upon the earth. There have been various technological inventions and innovations dating back into the Stone Age, which has significantly impacted the global civilization. One of such most significant invention was that of the wheel. The oldest wheel was invented around 3500 BC around the period, which was referred to as the Bronze Age in Mesopotamia area. At his time, people were already planting crops, and wheels were used in drawing of water from wells as well as in the development of carts, which were used in the transportation of crops and other luggage across different places (Tomecek, p. 21). Today, the world’s development and most of the processes revolve around this invention. The civilization of the world which has been fostered around transportation is greatly attributed to this invention.  The invention of the wheel from the steel wheels to the latest rubber wheel used today has dramatically impacted the spread of civilization across the world. Through the invention of the wheels, the element of transportation has been put…

The impact of Islam permeation throughout the world Various ethnic and racial groups such as Arabs, Persians, Turks, Africans, Indians, Chinese, and Malays are part of the spread of Islamic civilization. The spread of Islam began in outside Turkey, where classical civilization, afflicting nations such as India and Africa, was rife (Haghnavaz 212). The spread of Islam starts with the death of Abubakar, who was proceeded by Caliph Umar, who built the East and West Muslim empires in Persia, Syria, and Egypt (Michalopoulos et al,. 2013). This was followed by a 12-year expansion by Uman, who copied the Koran to the world. Following this, a global civilization of Islam was manifested through science and learning. In the end, Islam spread to North Africa, Spain, France, and Asia. Spearheaded by Abbasids and Umayyads, the Baghdad capital was established later, birthing the ottoman empire in 1454, where Islam spread to Eastern Europe (Haghnavaz 214). Following this a Persian dynasty was created in 1502. In the USA, North America encountered Islam first through slaves working in planataions in the 19th century. In the…

Vikings Invasion on Europe During the Viking Age, which lasted till 1066 CE from 800 CE, the Vikings played an essential role in Northern Europe. Firstly, in military armament, before a truce came to be between the Vikings and Europe, Vikings had the most potent and most lethal of arsenal compared to the Europeans. These Vikings’ boat and ships were durable and well architectured; they moved 200 kilometers per day and 18.5 kilometers per hour, which was an extraordinary thing and also built ships that were able to maneuver the river thus their lethal and fierce nature. This led to the advancement of European marine arsenal through weapon forging and embellishment to fight back and much up the arsenal of the enemy both on land and in the water front (Lamoureux). Secondly, the Vikings impacted Europe’s religion, in that they massacred Christians; Vikings attacked Saint Cuthbert killing the monks and stealing the valuables of the monastery.
