American expansion abroad was fueled by all of the following except "the closing of the frontier" since this was mainly a domestic issue.
There are many things one can infer from these civilizations just by
knowing that they were able to build such massive structures. One was
that they had a running civilization which was able to provide for its
citizens in adeqaute amount - this allowed them to be able to undertake
such feats.
Another thing is that we know they had the necessary
knowledge to actually build such structures - this tells us that they
were relatively advanced for their age and time.
Another thing
we can know from this is that they probably valued some sort of rituals
and had people who were at a higher level in society who also commanded
for these structures to be built.
In his seminal book on the historical periods of Western attitudes
toward death, Philippe Aries describes four consecutive periods through
which these attitudes evolved and transformed. According to him, the
historical attitudes of Western cultures have passed through four major
parts described above: “Tamed Death,” One’s Own Death,” “Thy Death,” and
“Forbidden Death.” This paper, after exploring this concept through the
lens of Persian Poetic Wisdom, concludes that he historical attitudes
of Persian-speaking people toward death have generally passed through
two major periods. The first period is an amalgamation of Aries’ “Tamed
Death” and “One’s Own Death” periods, and the second period is an
amalgamation of Aries’ “Thy Death” and “Forbidden Death” periods.
