The Beginning of Epochs
Many questions surround what became of the beginning of time, of when this epoch had firstly been recorded. Numerous of these questions would also more likely focus on the development of something new, or of the catalyst of when 2 things come together or don't interact. In my case, we've been studying Epoch 1, and the beginnings of this examples, start with the beginning of governmental structure, which had much impact as well as many factors involving culture, religion, and land region. One of them had been "How do people survive"? During this time period, i can say that nothing had been developed during the beginning of time, meaning all that society had to focus on was to survive. An example that had been used is the hunter-gatherer societies. In this case all humans had done is find food, without settling into specific regions. Most of these groups had been classified as nomadic groups. It wasn't until later in time that as they settled did societies began to grow and flourish into large and memorable empires in all of history for their influence. Additionally, a question referred to how this Epoch is significant is "How do societies form their belief"? In my opinion, I believe that much of the societies that form their beliefs are often influenced by other countries. During this Epoch, as many societies began to grow in Egypt, China, and the middle east, the smaller societies around these empires began to interact with each other, thus creating International Relations. As this continued for centuries, it was a fact that each and every individual involved in trade had been deeply affected by each other due to the fact they took a bit of each new culture and began to apply it to their lives. This continued, making many cultures evolve and continue up to this day, such as Christianity or Judaism, originating from the Jews. Also, In Mesopotamia beliefs formed were created into the first written forms of law. Their leader, Hammurabi created a code of laws known as the Hammurabi code, bringing order and creating a monarchy. Lastly, "How does location affect society"? This is able to come into action for some examples. One of them had been how Mesopotamian land wasn't good, yet was located between 2 rivers. all in all, we can say that location can also affect the struggle a society may have i order to survive, depending on location and the resources they have. It may also have affect on how their empire is built up and the way they can conquer.
