Patriarchy in India, China, Greece and Rome

The political and social organization of most classical societies is centered on the concept of family system, male-dominated social system. This system exacerbates genetic differences between males and females and assigns gender roles based on these findings. Because men are generally considered superior to women, they have greater religious and political roles and more legal rights. As a reversal of nature, women are treated and treated one week; their main role is reproductive and domestic. Information on patriarchies of classical times is plentiful, but since it is mainly written by men, history does not allow us to explain exactly women's views.

An example of a chart / outline that I made for class articles. We must compare the two governments (classical Greek list, Persian Empire, Roman Empire and Han), the social structure of Han and India, the accomplishment of Qin and Han Dynasty, or the spread of Christianity . And Buddhism. Remember the main era and the empire / government / dynasty / etc. There was time - you should know the beginning and end of the five main periods, and the times of those times. This will be very important when taking the AP exam in May.

From an economic / environmental perspective, there are some major differences between Greek and Han. Geographically, Greece is a peninsula. They can enter many natural harbors, Han people are not along Han Silk Road, people die in what thirst of often. Greece is not too far from Egypt, Persia, Rome. It is very close to allowing cultural communication in Greece. The main trading products of classical Greece are grapes and wine. They often trade these to get the goods they need. Greece also held events such as the Olympic Games.

Historians often refer to "the glory of Greece" and "greatness of Rome". The conquest of the Mediterranean world by Rome shows the essence of imperialism at this time. The Han Empire in China and the Maurya Empire in India also produced numerous economic and cultural exchanges. Rome was counted as a city state of Greece in its conquest, but educated Romans absorbed and spread the culture of Greece. The same is done in the field of religion. Christianity that appeared at this time was born from Judaism. Roman persecution becomes the official religion of the empire, when the empire collapses the Christian church fills the vacuum caused by the collapse of Rome.

World trade is not new. Ancient Greece and Roman society traded with other societies in Africa, Middle East, India, China. After Islamic golden age and the rise of the Mongol empire, trade expanded further. The establishment of the colonial empire after an exploration trip in Europe means that trade is taking place all over the world. In the 19th century, the industrial revolution increased the trade of goods more and more. However, the advancement of technology after World War II and the war after the Cold War, especially communication, caused an explosive acceleration that occurred today.
