The History of a Civilization

 Listed below are the exact instructions given by the instructor: One will compose a 6-8 page paper focusing on one region of the world (example- Asia, Africa, South America, Europe, etc) or one country of the world (example- Japan, England, China, Ghana, etc). One will explore the early history of their chosen area and address the following questions. • Why did you choose this area for the focus of your paper? • What is the earliest history of humans in the area you have chosen? • When did civilizations and societies emerge in the area you have chosen? • How were these societies structured and what political systems emerged? • Who were some of the leaders in the different eras of the area you have chosen? • What was life like for ‘everyday people’ in the area you have chosen? • What were the gender roles of the people and what was life like for the women in the area you have chosen? • What changes happened over time in the area you have chosen? • Then you will discuss (and perhaps most importantly) whether looking at the history of the area you have chosen can lead to a better understanding of the people who presently inhabit the area you have chosen. Use double spacing, twelve point font, one inch margins and other proper structuring when doing this assignment. VERY IMPORTANT: The paper must be written IN YOUR OWN WORDS. Utilize only the text book. DO NOT copy and paste from websites. DO NOT transcribe words from the text book. Seek out the information but then put the final product in your own words.
