The Paleolithic Era was basically known as the Stone Age, because people around this time had built tools that were made of stone. However, there were also gatherer-hunters, people who needed to gather and hunt for food. This time period was the start of an evolution in society. When the Neolithic Era commenced, agriculture was being built, and there was also settled lands where people lived in, but they had also tried to out-compete other agricultural groups like themselves. Then came civilization during the Ancient Era. People began developing new technology such as writing and languages, and they also had hierarchies to tell people from one another according to wealth and knowledge. Finally, we reached the Classical Era, where empires were introduced along with seminal thinkers who developed and shared their ideas; this lead to the development of cosmopolitans, groups of people who are well cultivated and also diverse.
What was the significance of the development of agriculture?
It introduced us to many different things: crops, farming, hunting, and even civilization. We also had technology being developed: Writing and language. Some people also had enough knowledge to lead en empire during the Ancient and Classical Eras even though empires during those times eventually fell. Even so, we still carry on their religious beliefs as of today. Most important of all, agriculture had developed permanent homes for people, which is the big fundamental for civilization.
What did it mean to be civilized to the Mesopotamians who created the Gilgamesh stories?
Civilization to the Mesopotamians meant to be part of the wild, which meant that they mostly treated animals with respect while doing very little hunting. In fact, these people had embraced animals in the wild. They would also eat bread and drink beer or water as if they were essential things. Despite being part of a wild, they still had homes built for themselves.
Discuss the evidence that Paleolithic people were more egalitarian (equally valued) than later societies. Is it convincing?
People who gathered and hunted were considered gatherer-hunters, one of the most important groups of the Paleolithic Era. There was actually gender equality at this time; women were gatherers just like men. However, the Paleolithic people were considered as one kind of society. This is definitely convincing, because a Paleolithic woman named Nisa told her story, which was mostly based around love and marriage. At this era, there was no law saying that Paleolithic beings could not marry more than one, which made love a very common subject to the society.
Strayer Change to Gatherer-Hunter: In what way is this change consistent with the Hallmarks of the Sisters of Notre Dame? Which Hallmark is relevant?
People educate each other based on what they learn, and what they also know. Hallmark One is relevant to this, because it says that people value life as a never-ending journey that strengthens relationships with others like themselves, and even God, which is EXACTLY what life really is. It never stops until you die, but you also learn many things and build relationships with people that eventually become more valuable over time.
Please discuss the ideas and impact of two of the seminal thinkers we have studied so far.
Jesus Christ is a revolutionary seminal thinker whose followers wrote his ideas, sayings, and also his lived examples in the New Testament. He is definitely a religion with a colossal, global Christianity practice. When it comes to Jesus, the one thing that comes to mind is: Heaven is for anyone. On secondhand, Confucius is another seminal thinker who is rather socially stabilized. His Analect sayings were collected by his followers, and he also emphasized respect for order and social place. In fact, people refer to Confucius as a mandate of heaven even though he is not really a religion.
