4.Political And Philosophical

New political and philosophical ideas develop in times of political/social/economical hardship.
How do you explain this?

If these new ideas sometimes go wrong in the empire, people are going to try to solve the economic problem. Most people will blame the leader in charge of the economy when something goes wrong. For example, the wars going on in the world and how they affect people. It affected people by how much more money had to be spent for the wars and people came into debt. Wars had gone on for many many years. People spend money supporting the soldiers, paying for their supplies and other needed things. There became antiwar people and apparently hippies because of the social revolution. The soldiers who went to war and died for their people, caused an effect on their families. Families were devistated and dearly upset. There are a lot of examples of economic problems and those are my examples.

3. Population Growth

Population growth was the most significant development of the Classical Period. True or False?

Population growth was the most significant development of the Classical Period because of many reasons. For instance, there became major technology because people had more time on their hands when they started using domestic animals to help them work. Those animals maede farms more productive. Therefore they were able to invent iron tools, and iron helped them work as well. They improved species of crops produced more food per acre, and better crops and better quality. With population growth, there became transition of hunting and gathering. Even though more organization was needed, colective learning had increased. With such a big community, there became bigger cities and much more communities. The people who lived in cities built the communities, they lived in denser populations. The population rose about 120 to about 25 million. With the population growth, there became expanding networks. People made routes or roads to get to other parts of the nation. They even made sea routes. A wide variety of goods flowed along theses routes. So I think the answer to the question would be true.

2.Change in the Classical Period

The biggest change that occured during this time period was when they developed earlier achivements. For instance they grew noticeably larger in their geographic, cultural, economic and political reach. With those achivments, there were able to conquer other countries easily because they had developed things that those they conquered hadn't. With this, the military had iron tools, and more powerful weapons. New conquest had led to further developments with larger regions in the world. They emerged new trade links and that helped by trading knowledge and gaining knowlege back. With the early developments, they were able to gain power and wealth, without those early achivements they would have none of those until everybody else had gained them, and it would have been harder on the military to defeat other countries.

1. Reflection on Yali's Question

This question is controversial and there are different possible explanations. White Europeans came to control the modern world because they developed literate industrial societies with metal tools, while others were still nonliterate farming societies. Europeans were able to conquer using metal tools against people with wooden tools. It is possible that the cold climate that the Europeans lived in forced them to develop technologies to help them survive and therefore they were more advanced than the warmer climates societies. A lot of countries didn’t develop guns, germs, steel and other factors. Though, people of Eurasian dominated the modern world in wealth and power the Africans and other people threw off European colonial domination but they remained far behind in wealth and power. Countries exterminated by European colonialists were Australia, the Americas, and southernmost Africa. When the White Europeans came to the Americas, they had spread all kinds of diseases that killed many of the American, however when they came to Africa diseases such as malaria and yellow fever killed the Europeans. The reasons for the Europeans conquering other countries are still being studied and are not completely understood.
