For example, there was improved navigational aids, refinements in shipbuilding, better mapmaking, and new legal arrangements and accounting practices which made shipping easier and cut the costs of seaborne trade. Another major new navigational instrument that helped this enormous revolution was the needle compass. With the new sea-lanes booming with profit and trade, this began to change the entire agriculture around 1000 CE. This also gave birth to the growth of commercial cities. By the late tenth century, many of these new cities were the anchorages of the maritime trade.

The ethnic enclave is a significant character of Cultural Pluralism. People in the same identity behave their culture and learn the American culture together. I believe that the formation of ethnic enclaves benefits new immigrants’ lives. In addition, the participation in the dominant culture and the preservation of one’s own ethnic heritage encourage new immigrants to start their commerce in America, which also makes contributions to America’s economic.

These settlements also provided the Islamic people with safe places to live. Cities in the post-classical Muslim society were built to withstand attacks from the warring nomads if need be.
River Valley civilizations were successful because they were able take ideas from others and reinvent them to best suit their needs. Civilizations developed first around the Middle East around the Fertile Crescent and closer to the Pacific.

Ideas were often modified for a certain area. Mesopotamia and Egypt are two examples of this.

Christopher Columbus opened up new worlds to Europe. The plants, animals, and diseases once unknown to Europe were introduced. There is also the intellectual impact Columbus had which had a greater long term benefit as it allowed the Europeans to better understand the ways, culture and discoveries of other more distant countries hence allowed them to better exchange information as barriers that stood between empires were broken down. The reason of the breakdown of barriers and the empires being more open to one another was because the cultural differences were resolved when people from various empires began to understand each other. This mutual understanding allowed the scientific and intellectual advancements of each nation that were once

As migrations continued, trade increased. This diffused technology, ideas, and goods from civilizations to other parts of the world. The main trade routes used were The Silk Road, The Indian Ocean Trade Route, and the Saharan Trade route.
