The neolithic revolution led to injustices within religions, social classes, and between genders in many ways. One way for injustices within religions is that some rulers or emperors kills/tortured people that they didn’t like or because of their religion. One example of Rome is where Nero persecuted Christian people. One way for social classes is the caste system in Hinduism. The caste system is a social class system where you can’t move from one level. Lighter skinned Aryans were higher class and darker skinned Indians were lower. At the top of the caste system were priests, and it was said that women couldn’t be priests, so you could only be at the top of the caste system if you were a male priest.
One example of an early neolithic technology is granary which is where they would store their grains in where it is a cool and controlled environment. The granary would protect the grain from insects, moisture, to preserve the food for longer, etc. One early neolithic invention is agriculture. Agriculture is what let people stay in one place and to develop more. We were able to advance into civilizations, art, architecture, culture and religion. If we stayed in the Paleolithic Era, most things that we have right now wouldn’t be invented or exist.
The first civilizations had a production of different agricultural productions, and they could trade their goods together. One trade route is the Silk Road Where there were trade routes that went all around the civilizations, and connected to China. China produced all of their own goods, so everything was unique and everyone wanted to have the goods. The Silk Road was made for trade with China. There were merchants going on the trade routes which spread their religion across different civilizations and area. One example are the Muslim merchants from North Africa trades in the region which spread Islam.
Centralized governments are governments that have one unit ruling everything. They have power over decisions, strategies, goals and objectives. Decentralized governments are governments where the ruling power transfers from a high level to a lower level. It is where several units are able to make autonomous decisions, this can make things faster than a centralized governments. An example of a centralized government was the dictatorship in the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shi Huang was a dictator and created the Qin Dynasty, he had all of the ruling power. An example of a decentralized government is Greece. Greece had a democracy where the citizens would vote on laws or proposals to war.
One significant term that I should remember is anti-semitism. Anti-semitism is a hatred towards Jews. Two other terms that I should remember are monotheistic and polytheistic. Monotheistic is the belief of one god, and polytheistic is the belief of multiple gods. Another term is codification which is a set of written rules or laws. Another term is bureaucracy which is a hierarchical organizational structure characterized by a system of rules. One final term that I should remember is the Neolithic Revolution or Agricultural Revolution which is when the hunter-gather people started settling down and doing agriculture. This allowed people to build civilizations, make cultures etc.
