Divisions

Divisions Civilizations were built based on divisions of owners and labor. Ironically, what divides us is the color of ones skin and population majority. Even though European descendants are the majority, Asians may be the dominating force of power, “Europe would have remained inferior, as ever, in wealth and power, the great civilization of Asia”. (pg 409 ) I find this topic interesting based on our classroom debate question, China’s rebirth was just as significant as the renaissance. I totally agree that China made a large impact worldwide civilization based on the evidence, and based on their historical and current tracking record. Another topic chapter 14 covers in depth is slavery; which, is considered as the labor force. No doubt Africans were sold into slavery by the leaders of the country for financial gain and political cohesiveness, I get that. I just disagree with the inhumane acts of violence against one race due to the color of skin, and the language of the people. However, The Columbian Exchange brought on worldwide change, not just in North American, also in Brazil, and Caribbean island. In summary, humankind civilization was built on the idea that “modern society, with its promise of liberation from ancient inequalities and the end of poverty for MOST, hardly seemed around the corner”. (pg 396) World inequalities based on the text was the platform for civilization historically. Our society is that egalitarian for all, but no doubt for majority set “we came here to serve God and the king, and also to get rich”. (pg 406). Society will never be an equal civilization for the divisions of humankind.
