Answer:

Daily life in ancient China

Daily life in ancient China evolved over time, but always reflected the importance of gods and ancestors. Villages like Banpo had a priestly class dominated by women who ruled and were religious leaders. Chinese culture is one of the world's oldest. This culture began around 6,000 years ago in the Yellow River Valley, and many of the ancient customs are still practiced today. Humans and earth spirits were respected by the Chinese. People were expected to behave as if they were always in the presence of spirits and deities. Prehistoric people (c. 5000 BCE) lived in small settlements in the Yellow River Valley, wore animal skins, and followed an animistic religion. Small villages like Banpo grew into towns, then cities. The Xia Dynasty (2070-1600 BCE) founded China's first big towns. It was assumed to be mostly mythical until archeological evidence proved its existence, according to some scholars (although this continues to be debated). After the Xia, the Shang Dynasty (1600-1046 BCE) established writing and the earliest written evidence of ancient Chinese life occurs.

How life in ancient Chinese differs from modern times

Modern China Life

China is now an industrialized nation with numerous contemporary facilities. About 60% of its people live in cities, either in houses or apartments. Few people possess cars, though this is changing.

olchik [2.2K]

Genocide Watch in the U.S. and the Green Belt Movement in Kenya are examples of <u>"Nongovernmental Organizations".</u>


The Green Belt Movement (GBM) was established by Professor Wangari Maathai in 1977 under the sponsorship of the National Council of Women of Kenya (NCWK) to react to the necessities of provincial Kenyan ladies who announced that their streams were becoming scarce, their nourishment supply was less secure, and they needed to walk further and further to get kindling for fuel and fencing.  

Genocide Watch exists to anticipate, counteract, stop, and rebuff decimation and different types of mass murder. Our motivation is to fabricate a worldwide development to counteract and stop genocide.

How were slaves different from free african americans
tester [92]

Free blacks in the antebellum period—those years from the formation of the Union until the Civil War—were quite outspoken about the injustice of slavery. Their ability to express themselves, however, was determined by whether they lived in the North or the South. Free Southern blacks continued to live under the shadow of slavery, unable to travel or assemble as freely as those in the North. It was also more difficult for them to organize and sustain churches, schools, or fraternal orders such as the Masons.

Although their lives were circumscribed by numerous discriminatory laws even in the colonial period, freed African Americans, especially in the North, were active participants in American society. Black men enlisted as soldiers and fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Some owned land, homes, businesses, and paid taxes. In some Northern cities, for brief periods of time, black property owners voted. A very small number of free blacks owned slaves. The slaves that most free blacks purchased were relatives whom they later manumitted. A few free blacks also owned slave holding plantations in Louisiana, Virginia, and South Carolina.

Free African American Christians founded their own churches which became the hub of the economic, social, and intellectual lives of blacks in many areas of the fledgling nation. Blacks were also outspoken in print. Freedom's Journal, the first black-owned newspaper
