Chapter 4
It
seems that in the classical era civilizations were able to settle, and improve
what they already had, and build up on it. These different empires let cultural
diversity be part of their societies.
Greeks wanted to keep the unity within their surroundings
and created the Olympics, which I find to be contradictory because it seems
that the Olympics would only create more rivalry. In the Greek empire, cultural
diversity was included as part of their society and at the same time they
struggled with discrimination, same as with our actual society. Religion was
spread in the Roman empire first among lower class, and I believe this happen,
because with all the changes happening the lower class were the ones suffering
the most and started to look for a divine power to help them through all the
suffering. Language was also improved; Latin was the root for Spanish,
Portuguese, French, Italian and Romanian – no wonder how as a Spanish speaker I
am able to understand most of these languages.
