The reason why the discovery of Stone Age family burial sites in Europe is significant is because cultural practices towards the dead can tell us a lot about the type of humans that existed at the time. It can tell us whether these people were capable of abstract thinking, and also whether they understand the inevitability and irreversibility of death
Family burials in particular can also provide evidence of social hierarchies. The Neolithic burial chambers found in England show that the bones of the dead were used to mark social and family allegiances. Finally, some burials, like that of El Sidron in Spain, show signs of violence in the bones, and the family buried there showed severe signs of malnutrition. This had led scientists to believe that cannibalism, whether for nutritional or ritualistic purposes, was practiced.

The Northwest Ordinance institutes different procedures that territories must go through in order to be considered for statehood. Here are the steps these territories had to go through:
1) When the population is below 5,000, a governor, secretary, and three judges would be appointed by Congress.
2) When the population reaches 5,000 free men, those free men can elect a legislature. The appointed members by Congress remain and the governor keeps veto power over the legislature.
3) When the population reaches 60,000 free men, the legislature can write a state constitution that needs to be approved by the US Congress. If approved, the territory becomes a state.

Every morning, I am awakened from my sleep by a bright ray of sunlight that falls on me through my bedroom window, to remind me that another day has begun. As I do my morning exercises, I usually gaze out of my window to see what is happening outside. The heavy traffic, would as usual, be ceaselessly flowing up and down the massive expressway. Vehicles of all shapes, sizes and colors bustle by, creating quite a din. Occasionally, the traffic police would be busy tearing after speeding vehicles.
Beyond the highway, I have a good view of the busiest port in the world. The past few years have seen a noticeable change in the size of this port. Container ships belonging to various countries anchor at the wharves to load and unload their heavy cargo. The huge cranes, forklifts and other equipment scattered all over the port are used to do the heavy tasks of loading and unloading. Containers of an assortment of colors can be seen piled on top of one another all over the yard.
The calm sea by the shipyard is usually crowded with speed-boats and bum-boats ferrying port, officials and passengers from the ships to the landing area and vice versa.
The little islands around Singapore covered with rich tropical vegetation are also visible from my bedroom. Fantasies of building a beautiful house and living on the one of these exotic islands often come to my mind. If only they could become a reality! When the weather is clear, the outline of the nearby Indonesian islands can also be easily traced near the horizon.
The sea has always fascinated me. My yearning to travel grows as I look out of my window every morning. I would not ever want to exchange the view from my bedroom window with any other that anyone can offer me, as the joy and peace it has brought me is immeasurable.
