Mayans had many breakthroughs in astronomy and mathematics. Priest studied the sky with observatories. They were able to track the movement of stars and planets with great accuracy. The Mayans used their observations to calculate the solar year. The Mayan figure for their year of 365.2420 days is amazingly precise.These calculations allowed the Mayas to create their solar calendar of 365 days. They also had a sacred 260-day calendar. Every 52 years, the first date in both calendars fell on the same day. This gave the Mayas a longer unit of time that they called a Calendar Round. For the ancient Mayas, this 52-year period was something like what a century is to us.
The Mayas also recognized the need for zero.
One of the Aztecs’ most remarkable technological achievements was the construction of their island city Tenochticlan. the aztecs enlarge the area of the city by creating artificial islands called chinampas. Today many people visit those chinampas and their flowers vendors. The aztecs adapted the Mayan solar and sacred calendars. The calendar was useful for farming , since it tracked the seasons. One of the most famous Aztec artifacts is a calendar called the Sun Stone. Dedicated to the god of the sun, this beautifully carved stone is nearly twelve feet wide and weighs almost twenty-five tons. The center shows the face of the sun god.
People's opinions, tastes, and values differ. These are oall influence on how they see the good and bad in all the outcames that they are faced with. People face different situations like wealth and income or age and gender, that affect how they calculate the worth of things.
<span>The US patriot act violates the civil liberties of the American people by giving the government opportunity and rights to treat citizens in many undignified and uncouth ways. It changed the nations ranking from one of the most free countries in the world, to somewhere in the 40th percentile. The bill allows for too broad of a scope of power to federal authorities, violating the rights to privacy among many other civil rights. Because of this I feel the War on Terrorism has greatly overstepped appropriate boundaries of civil liberties, and human rights. I am not sure how they should go about reconciling this issue, but as sure as they should, its likely they won't because government enjoys having more power than the people.</span>
