WW chapter 4

This was a very interesting chapter for me in a scene that it is very relevant to the societies that we have today.  It was very neat to learn about how different places started their government and societies.  For example the Persians tried to start their society by concurring all of the other societies surrounding them, which was ultimately working out for them, until they finally met the one society that would stand up to them and put a halt to their society expansion.  Different from the Persians, the greeks were more to themselves and developing their own society and civilization because they were more concentrated on building up their people to be strong and good in combat.  The Greeks had to learn to protect themselves, but they did not only mainly focus on that because they also had a well organized form of government.  They were able to organize the place into city-states which are kind of like our states that we have today, so as you can see they were pretty advanced as far as organization and structure goes.  This chapter also talked about how the Romans and Chinese were also great societies that expressed the same incredible intellectual views.  That is why when you read about past societies that they usually talk about all of these main societies as main structures for the future people to grow upon.
