Social Studies

anastassius [24]4 years ago
4 0
There was a fear to educate slaves because with wisdom comes other problems. If slaves learn to read and do math, they will in a sense, awaken and challenge their racial status and the racial inequality in America. They will begin to challenge laws and fight for their rights. Also, it will be harder to cheat them of their salary and of their rights. The awakened slave or person would realize that they should demand rights: rights they were cheated of such as the right of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as stated in the U.S. Constitution. Therefore, it was a way to control the slaves and keep them from rising out of poverty, out of slavery, out of inequality etc. ways that slaves were educated, they could be subjected to beatings, being sold to another plantation and ultimately separated from their immediate families such as parents, children or siblings.

How did ancient civilizations contribute to the development of the eastern hemisphere
RSB [31]
<span>The “urban revolution” or the leap into civilization was made about 3500BC; over the next 3,000 years, civilization spread throughout the ancient Near East.  The peoples of the ancient Near East learned to master their environment and create a food surplus.  These ancient peoples “invented” civilization and developed early forms of government, law, society, and economies.  These peoples created notable works of art and architecture, from the Ziggurat to the Pyramids to the palaces of Minoan civilization.  They invented writing: cuneiform and hieroglyphics.  They created sophisticated regions, ranging from the polytheism of most peoples to the ethical monotheism of the Hebrews.  As it did so, great empires rose and fell, creating a pattern that will be imitated throughout history;  most peoples, when given the opportunity, become aggressive and expansionist and build empires; each empire is then destroyed by the ambitions of the people who built it.  Surviving the collapse of Empires was the culture created by these peoples--and it will have an impact on our next cluster of civilizations, the Hellenic, the Hellenistic, and the Roman.  Collectively called Classical Civilization, these three dominated the Mediterranean world from ca 500 BC to AD 500.
