Written sources go back to about 5500 years ago, when marketers started using labels to keep books and accounts.

The original markings were in the form of thumbnails and symbols, and different ways of writing developed in different cultures. The discovery of the letter, at a time when the first civilizations were occurring around the world, marks the end of prehistory. From the moment people invented the letter, written clues about their lives and activities became part of everyday life: receipts and bills were written, contracts were signed, significant events, laws and literary works were recorded. It was the beginning of written history.

Explanation:

  • The original method of writing probably evolved from the clay marks used by traders in Mesopotamia.
  • Around 3500 BC. e. The markings were stamped on the surface of the clay ball, marking the type and quantity of goods, and a few hundred years later Mesopotamians began to use sticks to leave wedge marks on moist clay tablets.
  • Essential tables are sun-dried to be stored in libraries. The tags grew into a letter called cuneiform, which has been in use for almost 3300 years.

What role did the UN play in this crisis? Did UN involvement seem to help or hurt the situation?
Alex777 [14]

If you are talking about the 1990s, the U.N. was not able to help much.  In Rwanda, it stood by as the ethnic cleansing ran wild and many died as a result. In Bosnia, many U,N. peacekeepers were either held hostage or shot by militias.  It was the intervention of the French in Rwanda and Americans in Bosnia that turned things around.

What did modernist authors sought to do
omeli [17]
They had an idea of making it new, that is, of making a new type of literature with the person being at the center of attention. They wanted to show that people are complex and not just archetypes in a society and that regardless of how you behave publicly, you also have a deep psychological side to you that nobody knows and that motivates you and affects your behavior.
