Most of it was persecution against Christians or Jews, and they also had gladiator fights and such. Rome concentrates on engineering while Han China concentrates on detail and craftsmanship. Rome had monumental construction and built entertainment structures while Han had very little construction and built very few palaces. Rome had the coliseum for sole entertainment purposes. Rome was all about entertainment, including carnivals and circuses and more.
Smith gives us examples between city and country life by using New York as the city and California as the country. “The buildings are older, the streets fumes stronger, every other car is a taxi.” (para. 7). She tells us that New York is tight and everyone is busy getting to one place after another. “California piles on big-city makeup in L.A. and Oakland, San Diego and San Francisco -- but really, the place is spread out like a big cabbage farm, like the far-flung desert it is.” (para.
Houses were built from stone walls and roofed with pole and thatch. This was the basic home for lower level Mayan people. However, the Mayan kings lived in huge homes like palaces (Sharer, 111). Pyramids were severely inclined with decorative foundations and stairs that were not able to be climbed. Facades were also made with copious amounts of decorations and serpentine elements that integrated the rain god, Chaac (Mayan Architectural Styles).
Those that did not follow the Swift model were destined to remain small local companies. Thus by the middle of the 1890s, the meat-packing industry, with the rapid growth of these great vertically integrated firms had become oligopolistic (the “Big Five” had the major share of the market) and bureaucratic; each of the five had its many departments and several levels of management. This story has parallels in other industries processing agricultural products. In tobacco, James B. Duke was the first to appreciate the growing market for the cigarette, a new product which was sold almost wholly in the cities. However, after he had applied machinery to the manufacture of cigarettes, production soon outran supply.
If a member of the group fails to conform to the groups needs, he/she would lose credibility with the rest of the group. Conformity is a change in an individuals behaviour according to certain accepted standards within society as well as the influence of others whether this be a real or imaginary influence. There are 2 key concepts of conformity, acceptance or
This conceivable late-planning tactic was further reaffirmed as the tomb only had a few large figures painted on the walls. These paintings showcased the pharaoh with his subjects performing the opening of the mouth ceremony. Finding just these few paintings along the inside walls of a pharaoh’s tomb is unheard of as most tombs belonging to the elite and the pharaoh class usually displayed finely detailed murals covering the inside of the tomb and ceiling. If the artisans had had more time to decorate the tomb’s walls, the tomb of Tutankhamun may have been dressed up with magical spells, achievements, and godly depictions. But it wasn’t.
The Human-headed winged bull and winged lion alone had many different designs and for such a big sculpture it had a lot of details in the wings, feet, face, and the beard of the creature. These designs followed along with more of the art that was created in the empire. In “The King and Eunuch Attendant” (Fig. 3), which was another carving made to protect the empire walls, there seems to follow a similar design and overall feel of the “Human-headed winged bull and winged lion” (Fig. 1).
They also used native copper, silver and gold for metalworking, in which they used very advanced methods. The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments. While the many Mayans city-states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations, they exerted a tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America. The Mayans built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent, and made innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and calendrics. The Mayans also evolved the only true writing system native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone, pottery, wood, or highly perishable books made from bark paper.
The islands of the pacific and Indian oceans remained with European influences but more forms of imperialism were appearing, this was where countries expanded their influence through military forces or even diplomacy. China was under the Manchus and they remained the world’s greatest single power and economy. Asia’s country was vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, typhoons, droughts, and tidal waves. All of these people suffered from poor living conditions. Eventually people developed new arts, culture and economic enterprises.
It is not natural law. What is good or bad now in this paradigm will be different in the next paradigm shift. In the present time, under the current institutions and establishments, society will consider the likes of Deniro to be the bad
