First Civilizations

Civilization has changed the way of life during the years, it has absorbed, overran, or displaced people practicing other ways of living. Civilization emerged around 3500 B.C.E. to 3000 B.C.E. It is interesting how the first seven civilizations were scattered around the planet. They did not just happen in one certain place and then began to scattered. In gathering and hunting societies equality was more evident, but on urban based civilizations the inequality was multiplied. All of these inequalities helped make the transition of the major turning points of humankind. Some people began to have more money than others, this was seen by the way they lived and dressed. All the way in the bottom of the social hierarchies were the slaves. Slaves were put to work, people had the idea that they could own other people which definitely was not true. The inequalities of gender and class shaped the character of the First Civilization. During this time women were subjected to men, men had more right and power than women. The mens were defined as rulers, warriors, scholars, and heads of household. Women's role was productivity and reproductive. This is very interesting to see how everything that humans have done has helped to shape the way we are today either for good or bad. They have been an influence to the way we do things.
