    Athens Vs Han China Essay

    Han China had more slaves and unskilled workers than Athens, but they only made up about 7% of the population, whereas slaves in Athens made up more than one-third of the population. Athens and Han China had similar opinions when it came to the distinction between master and slave. Their empires both accepted and lived by the law that those who rule are supported by those who are ruled. Most of the men that worked in Athens were farmers. Most of the men that worked in Han China were peasant farmers or urban skilled workers. They had distinctive classes, the lower class, the middle class, and the high class. The ruler (or rulers if there are more than one) and the religious leaders, aristocrats, and major government officials made up the high class, the citizens (urban skilled workers such as farmers, merchants, etc.) made up the middle class , and the slaves or unskilled workers made up lower…

    Similarities Between China And Qin Dynasty

    Most of the civilizations that we studied thus far have some type of social class and inequality between the citizens. In both the Chinese and Roman societies, they both maintained social classes. In the Han and Qin dynasties, the social classes were divided by philosophy. For example, Confucianism. Confucianism is the idea that people should have respect for one another and it is better to be a gentleman than just a normal person. If you were a scholar-gentry were considered to be upper classman. You would be the people governing society. Changes in social class were completely out of the question. In the Roman Empire, they didn’t stress hierarchy. You were either upper or a lower class citizen. You could change your rank in social…

    Similarities Between Classical India And Classical China

    There were three main social groups in China. The landowning aristocracy plus the educated bureaucrats, or mandarins, made the top of the group. Second were the peasants and urban artisans who manufactured goods. Then came the mean people who were people that are unskilled. India’s social groups consists of five groups that made up the caste system. Both China and India depended on a large peasant class. Women in China and India were subordinate to men but women did have an important role to the family and society. It was said women were featured clever and strong-willed women and goddesses in Indian culture, which made it subtly different from women in China. Children in China were different than that in India. Disobedient children would be punished harshly by parents. Parents had the right to do so as said by Confucius’s quote, “There are no wrongdoing parents”. But in India, children were pampered. Both families of both countries served as an important and explicit emotional function as well as a role in supporting the structure of society and its institutions. China had an extremely well technological society (one of the best, if not the best) during their classical period. India had some technology as well. They were the first to manufacture cotton cloth, calico, and cashmere. China and India had an emphasis on trade and merchant activity, but India was far greater than China and that of the classical Mediterranean world which they used as an advantage to spread their religions. Indians traded more than China because merchants were high in society. Merchants in India were higher than merchants in China…

    Industrial Revolution Dbq Analysis

    Landowners bought larger pieces of land to use as fields for farming called enclosures. People also thought of different methods for farming that produced more crops. A horse-drawn seed drill was invented to plant seeds in straight rows. Farmers also used crop rotation, rotating where crops were planted each year. Crop rotation allows the soil to keep its nutrients and remain healthy. “This country so famous in the farming world...The great improvements have been made by the following methods: by enclosing without the help from Parliament, by the introduction of a four year rotation of crops, by growing turnips, clover and ryegrass, by the country being divided chiefly into large farms.” (doc 8) England was able to produce more crops.…

    Humans and the Environment

    As to China, they were a river civilization. In china the landscape was covered with loess, which is fine yellow dirt. During floods, loess would often clog irrigation ditches. Then they began to build dikes, so they could control the water flow. It was a semiarid region. The crop-fallow rotation was practiced by the Chinese in farming. Crop rotation avoids a decrease in soil fertility, because growing the same crop repeatedly in the same place eventually rids the soil of various nutrients. The fallow was primarily for storing moisture, rather than a fertility restoring device as in shifting cultivation. Then they began rice farming. The rice field would be flooded, and each plant would be planted by hand in the soft soil of the field. Since there wasn’t much animal manure, farmers usually used human feces to fertilize their fields. Their fertilizing allowed them to use the fields year after year, without the need to allow it to lay fallow. This type of rice farming was booming in China, resulting in the population also rising.…
