Ch.2's Big Question: How did the various First Civilizations differ from one another?

In terms of government, the Indus Valley civilization differed from one another by not offering enough pieces of evidence of a powerful role, while the way that rulers are stating their positions in other First Civilizations varied. This is mainly related to "a productive agricultural technology, city living, distinct class, and gender inequalities, the emerging power of states" (Strayer, 80), all of these common subjects are for First Civilizations to create the world as followed.

Places of First Civilizations are Mesopotamia and Egypt, which may be caught "a glimpse of the differences, changes, and connections that characterized early civilizations" (Strayer, 80). Civilizations grew up in river valleys in both Mesopotamia and Egypt, depended on "their rivers to sustain productive agriculture in otherwise-arid lands" (Strayer, 80). However, rivers may contain differences from Mesopotamia. Egyptians were green gashes of teeming life,  which rose to soil and water that nurtured rich Egyptian agriculture.

Therefore, the Indus Valley civilization is always different from the First Civilizations as its agricultural style is important throughout the power in the modern world.
