Why do civilizations borrow elements from earlier civilizations?

marissa [1.9K]3 years ago

I would say that depends whether the earlier civilizations were present immediately before the borrowing civilization, so the two could have contact, or were separated by a long period of time.

If a civilization borrows from a civilization just was there shortly before, and that they possibly invaded, the borrowing might happen not on purpose, but be a result of a natural mix and inclusion of what it already there. Alternatively, especially when a new power wants to assimilate local population, they might want to include elements from their previous culture to ease the transition for them and make it more acceptable (e.g. the Virgen og Guadalupe in Mexico, although a Cristian Deity, borrows greatly from pre-colombian civilizations.)

If a civilization borrows from an older one, it might be to evoke an association with them, as when Europe borrowed from the Greeks and the Romans, when they wanted to break with the association of the Dark Ages in the Renaissance and instead "go back to their intellectual roots"

Anna35 [415]

She is describing the two realities that people live nowadays. One is the reality in which we live and experience things with our flesh and bones. This is the one in which we share moments with other people and satisfiy our needs. We go to school, to work, to an event, we eat, sleep. And the other reality is the one we live through media, social networks, the virtual reality. This reality not only let us experience life events in a different way, that means that yo can even be present in another continent or country or neighbourhood, even when you are at home, at the bus or somewhere else. But of course, this reality alter our conception of time and space because it encapsulates us in this frame or moments but it also disconnects from the real life experiences. It makes people feel like they are in another place with other people, living other things but they are also in a real place where you can touch and feel things with your flesh.

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania hosted the Constitutional Convention from May 14 to September 17, 1787. Choosing America's future government was the main goal of the event. Many of the delegates had considerably more ambitious ambitions than the ostensible purpose of the Convention, which was to amend the current Articles of Confederation.

Write a 250-word essay that argues your opinion about the constitutional convention.

In May 1787, delegates from every state—aside from Rhode Island—met in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a convention. The Articles of Confederation were to be rejected in favor of a new constitution, it was agreed at this gathering, which became known as the Constitutional Convention. In addition to completely rejecting the Articles of Confederation, the fifty-five delegates who gathered in Philadelphia between May 25 and September 17, 1787, would draft the first written constitution for a country in the history of the globe. The Constitution established unique governmental principles and procedures such as checks and balances, the division of powers among the branches, and the definition of those powers. The amendment process also transformed the Constitution into a living document that could be altered with sufficient popular support and state ratification. The government can first be constrained by the constitution by identifying or enumerating its powers. No authority not expressly granted or listed to the government may be assumed by it. Second, it is possible to split the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of the government. Two Congressional legislative bodies were established by the Great Compromise. V!rginia (big state) and New Jersey (little state) plans were united in the agreement, which is also known as the Sherman Compromise or the Connecticut Compromise. Roger Sherman, a delegate from Connecticut, advocated a "bicameral" or two-chambered Congress, with each state receiving two seats in the upper chamber and a number of representatives in the lower chamber (the House) according to its population (the Senate).

It can triple your chance of death from hypertension. Marijuana can also baffle your brain, resulting in temporary memory loss, or destroy your brain cells.
