The Maya

When we speak of the Hierarchy of needs, we focus on distinct civilizations in the world. One of the most prestigious cultures which can be remembered until today, is the Maya. Located in Mexico, this society was known to be one of the most intelligent based on their methods and achievements which enabled more advancement in society later on. They managed to establish their way of writing, which is known as hieroglyphics. Additionally, they managed to create a sustainable agricultural system and located with an easy access to water. However, as the trees began to die, nutrients would leave and would soon affect the quality of the food. Within this more problems occurred since many of the people would fight over the land.  Even though these problems arose, this life changing society defined the Hierarchy of need by creating a governmental structure. Their religious system was also known for how they built pyramids and would worship their gods. However, later on in time the europeans came and this would soon affect all the civilizations in all of the Americas. The affect would be bad due to the fact that all these thieves sought was power and gold, and would kill all of these tribes for it. They would trick them and in the end were better than the natives since they possessed even more technology such as cannons. After this they would show inequity by taking some captives and using them as slaves, which was what most of the explorers also did when they traveled to Africa. In the end because of these murderers it would kill most of the societies, killing their rich culture and change they made to the world. Soon, most people living there forget and often become foolish when they state who they are. I believe who they are would represent these prestigious societies that existed, representing the people that thrived and were actually better people than what there is now.
