. Cultural and social patterns of civilizations seem to endure longer than the political framework of states
and empires. What evidence from Chapters 3, 4, and 5, might support this statement (elaborate
extensively)? How might you account for this phenomenon? Is there evidence that could support a
contrary position? What do sources in chapter 5 (booklet and textbook) tell us about social lives? When
you look back, what relationship can you see between political dimensions (chapter 3) of second -wave
civilizations and their cultural /religious aspects (chapter 4).
