Even more important were the technologies that did not directly play roles in the battle, however played major impacts on the war itself, like the railroad and the telegraph.

Western Civilization leads in categories of politics, economics, science and technology and in each category the West gained efficiency and effectiveness. It is seen by many people that Columbus used his power to conquer the people of the new world and commit genocide and slavery but at the same time Columbus brought knowledge to these people and enabled them to become as powerful as Western Civilization. Over time, Western Civilization has faced adversity but like Columbus, they have done whatever was necessary to keep expanding Western influence. The article also clarifies the debate over Columbus because it shows that Columbus cannot be looked at as good or bad; Columbus has to be looked at as an admiral, who took necessary action in the new world to keep Western Civilization on top. If Columbus had not taken the actions that he did, the people of the new world may have overthrown him and the western influence and that could have changed the world as we know it forever.

The people in turn named me as King. 88 A.D. The humans amassed a huge army, and defeated us just outside this iron fortress gate of ours. Once again, Domitian rejected my offer of peace, but later on was forced to accept it.

The people of the Andamans were most certainly aware of warfare and when needed, they would go about it. Mead also explains that trial by jury wasn't just set into stone, it was gradually changed by the people of the time by inventing the new method; and so, the new method replaced the old method. Mead demonstrates this to show that in order for there to be a change, you must recognize the pros and cons of the existing warfare, so then you are able to formulate a new invention. After reading Mead's essay, I do not agree with her "bad invention" view of warfare. I have come to the conclusion that warfare is a sociological inevitability.
Techniques of Imperial Administration in Han China and Imperial Rome The Classical Empires had reaches sizes unimaginable to people of earlier eras. These empires covered vast amounts of land and huge populations, and had to create new methods of controlling such expansive kingdoms. The empires of Han China and Imperial Rome were especially skilled at developing systems which allowed for access throughout their lands, collecting taxes, moving the military, easy travel and trade, and the enforcement of laws and decrees.

Early invasion by the Hyksos, rebellions in the south and the ‘rise of Theban Kings’ all greatly impacted upon Egyptian military tactics and foreign policy, which were continually developing throughout this period. Each Pharaoh used their strengths to transform Egypt into a superior country through colonization leading to a more diverse culture. The “shepherd kings” , or Hyksos, as referred to by modern historians, domination of the Delta region provided a catalyst for the consolidation of early New Kingdom and stimulus for the establishment of a strong government and administration system. Originating from strongly fortified towns in the Asiatic region, they had access to the latest military technology.
More extreme cases of such distribution of misinformation are far more modern. With the incredible exponential growth and advancement of technology came far more complex and complete forms of censorship. In particular countries, such as Russia, China, and most notably North Korea, the government took over complete control of all forms of the media, including the exchange of images and information on television and social networks. Their use of censorship became so absolute that “the production and censorship of information were interlinked, critical strategies for the success in attracting following for state-sponsored ideologies” (Ma). With this, nations have the ability to efficiently persuade
