The After math of an Epoch

The second epoch, means significance due to the fact of what happened in the first epoch. One of the questions we could wonder is "How does technology affect society"? This question can be responded by saying technology affects the whole world just by being advanced. In this case, during this time period, technology had everything to do with how society was going to be shaped later on. For example, in Asia, gun powder had been developed which would revolutionize war fare worldwide forever. Next, printing press would help the way people would make books in order to get a education. Additionally, new technologies meant extensive training through the Silk Roads, where the same amount of goods were shared as much as their cultures were, and influenced many religions in each civilization. This leads up to my second question " How does religion affect society"? The reason this is important is due to the fact that many civilizations had distinct religions and cultures, signifying each empire they have. New religions had thrived such as Islam grew in the middle east under the guidance of Muhammad. There had also been disagreements in Europe in whether to follow Christianity or Islam, leading up to disputes known as the crusades, which was against muslims. The last question, "How does a society decide which aspect of their culture they wanna specialize?" The answer to the question can be known as how they rule their empire. An example is in Greece, is how they became experts through their people in philosophy and science, which follows up all the way until this time period.
