Today in class we viewed a presentation that Mr.Schick came up with, the presentation is on his website, and my notes focus in detail on the important slides. One important date out of many was 4,000 B.C, and that is when farming and village life spred through the continent of Europe. Another is in 3500 B.C, the population increased and the increased wealth led to complex religious structures. The barbarians came in contact with civilization in 2000 BC-1000 AD. That is very important because that was one of the very first structured civilizations, and that is what we base society off of today, and it helped us become the structure we are today. The first time the Europeans came in contact with the Greeks was labeled as a "western" civilization. A western civilization is an emerged civilization.
