Growing Inequalities in the Mali Empire Another important feature of the Mali Empire that we learn from Ibn Battuta is how much social inequality existed. One of the consequences of the expansion of empire through trade and military means was the capture of prisoners of war, who then became sources of male soldiers and female slaves. The Sahelian and Saharan towns of the Mali Empire were organized as both staging posts in the long-distance caravan trade and trading centers for the various West African products. At Taghaza, for example, salt was exchanged; at Takedda, copper. Ibn Battuta observed the employment of slave labor in both towns. During most of his journey, Ibn Battuta traveled with a retinue that included slaves, most of whom carried goods for trade but would also be traded as slaves. On the return from Takedda to Morocco, his caravan transported 600 female slaves, suggesting that slavery was a substantial part of the commercial activity of the empire’s fringes. Gender Divisions There were many more female slaves than male slaves traded in the empire, a fact that points out the inequality that existed between the genders. The variation in women’s social positions increased with the growth of the empire’s towns. Women, usually slaves, were valued porters in the trans- Used by permission for Bridging World History, 6 The Annenberg Foundation copyright © 2004 Saharan caravan trade. They sometimes served as concubines. Additionally, female labor produced salt, cloth for export, and most of the local foodstuffs essential to the provisions required by urban centers. Men were hunters, farmers, merchants, and specialists, in addition to frequently being conscripted as soldiers. A general feature of empires is the increased exploitation of social inequality. Imperial growth everywhere depended in part on women, the appropriation of female labor as well as the mechanisms for the exclusion of women from the sources of political and economic power. An empire’s expansion ultimately relied on its increasing the supplies of food for its armies and other sources of wealth for trade. In addition to their reproductive role, women produced goods. Not surprisingly, women had not played a prominent role in the preimperial male-dominated elite authority of West African society, either. Women are rarely mentioned in the oral historical record, which was controlled by male griots and their male descendants. In the epic of Sunjata they do appear as potential power sources—mothers, sisters, and sorceresses—despite their unequal access to true political power.

A whip system ensures that party members vote in line with the party platform and not their personal views, the desires of their followers, or the requests of their voters. The "enforcers" of the party are the whips.

Predict what would happen if the same experiment was conducted with different amounts of water.
Mama L [17]

Hello. You did not present the experiment to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.

It is likely that the amount of water presented in the question above is a variable in the experiment. This allows us to consider that if the experiment were carried out with different amounts of water, this experiment would provide inaccurate data and the results would not be considered true, making it impossible for a precise conclusion to be revealed.

This would happen because an experiment must distribute the variables, in all treatments, with the same amount and intensity. Therefore, to promote accurate data, the experiment must use an equal amount of water in all treatments.

The river valley civilizations shown in the map addressed their growing
Svetach [21]

Answer: D. advanced technology in irrigation to create agricultural surpluses

Explanation:

There is no map so I do not know which river valley civilization you speak of but I found the options for this question with the answer above being the most likely answer.

The question most probably alludes to the Indus River Valley Civilization which is one of the oldest civilizations to ever exist in the human world.

They had quite a high population for the time and so came up with various technological advances to cater for their people including sewage and water systems.

It was their work with irrigation that earned them high praise however. They came up with advanced irrigation techniques which ensured that agriculture boomed and created enough food to feed the population.
