The massive inequalities of second-wave (classical) civilizations was accepted because of the philosophical religious systems. These systems, which included <u>Greek rationalism, Hindu faith, and Confucian philosophy</u>, supported inequality.
In China, Confucianism was used to <u>justify the class system and patriarchy.</u> Also, Aristotle developed the notion that some people were <u>"slaves by nature"</u> and should be enslaved for their own good and for that of the larger society.
