The ancient Egyptians believed that after the person died, his soul would then return to the same body so they needed to keep the body from rotting. Mummification was a process that kept the dead bodies from rotting, which is usually what happens to corpses.

By 1774, the year leading up to the Revolutionary War, trouble was brewing in America. Parliament (England's Congress) had been passing laws placing taxes on the colonists in America. There had been the Sugar Act in 1764, the Stamp Act the following year, and a variety of other laws that were meant to get money from the colonists for Great Britain. The colonists did not like these laws.
Great Britain was passing these laws because of the French and Indian War, which had ended in 1763. That war, which had been fought in North America, left Great Britain with a huge debt that had to be paid. Parliament said it had fought the long and costly war to protect its American subjects from the powerful French in Canada. Parliament said it was right to tax the American colonists to help pay the bills for the war
Most Americans disagreed. They believed that England had fought the expensive war mostly to strengthen its empire and increase its wealth, not to benefit its American subjects. Also, Parliament was elected by people living in England, and the colonists felt that lawmakers living in England could not understand the colonists' needs. The colonists felt that since they did not take part in voting for members of Parliament in England they were not represented in Parliament. So Parliament did not have the right to take their money by imposing taxes. "No taxation without representation" became the American rallying cry.

The correct answers to this open question are the following.
I think newspapers, pamphlets, and novels were very influential in creating a shared culture throughout the British Empire because they served as the official means of communication to convey the information the monarchy needed to convey to all the regions of the empire. The British government was very careful in communicating just what it thought would be convenient for the people of the empire to know. Nothing more, nothing less.
I think present-day forms of international media, like television shows and websites, can be compared to the printed word in the eighteenth century in that represent what we know as mass media. They are the ones that report the news, have a group of reporters that investigate and inform about the things that are happening and affect society, the way newspapers did in the 1700s.
It was through the media, that people knew what was going on in politics, economy, and social life. Similar situation as what modern media does in today's society.
