(docs 3, 4, 6, 8). The promotion of the pestle and mortar invention by the mythological emperor Fuxi showed the positive attitude the Han had towards new inventions (doc 3). As a new creation this invention was widely used and praised but as improvements were made to the pestle and mortar their benefits were significantly increased. The author, Huan Tan, felt that new inventions were beneficial to the Han society and clever improvements made the benefits made mythological emperor Fuxi’s creations even better. This is the POV because he is praising Fuxi’s invention and is explaining its widespread use in the society.
Sangah Kwak AP World Mr. Costigan 31 October 2012 AP World History DBQ Thesis Han’s attitude toward labor and manufacturing was more lenient and acceptable than the Romans who had a more negative and uncertain view, therefore causing a general attitude of labor and technology to be positive. The Han government official of the Han Dynasty in the 2nd century B.C.E says that technology is an advantage towards the government, the people, and empire which results in the invention of the aqueducts and other engineering needs. The Han government official explains that technology is beneficial because it is a key to the regulation of the government, it is an essential part of the empire, and requires government intervention. (D#1) The Han government official, Huan Guan, in the 1st century B.C.E, illustrates that the government developed sub-standard tools because of monopolies and explains that a strong government should adjust the situation. Huan Guan says that technology is an essential part of peasant production and the government is responsible for its suppor.
In documents 1, 7 and 8, the people use their technology to help the city. In document 1, the government official “requests” (Doc 1) that there are to be people who are experienced in working with water to work with the people. They want “high official and one deputy” with workers to “meet the need” (Doc 1) to help repair in each district. Document 7 things tools were “invented by wise men” (Doc 7) and it didn’t matter if they were dumb or smart. In document 8 “aqueducts” (Doc 8) gives an abundance amount of water not just for “public and private” (Doc 8) use but because they have a lot to spare.
The people in Ancient Rome put their knowledge to work to build aqueducts to fix their major problem of water so they can devote their time to building other impressive things like the Colosseum, the Amphitheater, and bridges. To build these magnificent structures, the Romans needed things to build them with. Within time the Romans figured out how to make powerful machines, such as, cranes, water mills, grain mills, and water pumps. The Romans were very good at improving their designs as well, even their general design is still being used today. They used their technology to help them with water access, construction, and mining.

Also there were may things built to improve in the safety of the people. There are many similarities and differences between the pax romana of Rome and the Golden Age of Han China. Both dynasties had great inventions, China had built many monuments to help them while Rome did not build much to help them survive. Both the Han dynasty and ancient Rome went through their golden age. The Han dynasty went through their golden age around 600 C.E.
Another life changing invention by the Mesopotamians was the wheel, which was originally used for pottery but then evolved into being used for transportation. The Indus Valley is also the origin of the brick which is obviously a material still used to this day. Apart from all the different inventions, they have similarities in their technological advances. Both civilizations watered their crops using irrigation and they also introduced the concept of using boats to further trade in their communities. All of these advancements in technology created diverse, but efficient economies in the civilizations.
DBQ #1 I know that Han political leaders, such as Tu Shih, believed in helping citizens with labor efforts by implementing new agricultural technology but, Roman political leaders believed in hiring workers for work ethic over skill and believed in constructing paved roads that were high quality to promote trade and expansion. Document 3 states “Tu Shih loved the common people and wished to save their labor. He invented the water powered blowing-engine for casting agricultural implements allowing people to enjoy the benefit in little labor.” This clearly shows that Tu Shih, the governor of Nanyang, believes that by giving agriculturalists tools to help them become more efficient they will like him as a governor even more and create higher quality products because they will have more time to focus on creating goods. This supports my thesis that political leaders in the Han dynasty believed in helping citizens with labor and implementing new agricultural technology because it shows that even the highest in political rankings were producing ways to help everyday laborers and contributing to their economy. Document 6 states that Roman political elite Gaius Gracchus “Was especially anxious about road building, paying attention to utility as well as to that which was beneficial to grace and beauty.” This document says nothing about how workers were treated if they were paid, or even well maintained.
The people were have said to point at their pockets smiling, when asked about Peron. In looking at the short-term effects of Peron and his populist programs, one would think that he was a great leader, dedicated to the bettering of his country and people, but looking further into these and analyzing the long-term effects of his programs, many problems arise. During Peron’s time in office he created many populist programs, to benefit the people. Peron created many programs to raise the standard of living for workers. For instance he raised the minimum wage, shortened work hours, and gave workers the right to participate in labor unions, even if these unions were government controlled.
