The Characteristics of a Civilization

What are the five characteristics of a civilization?

ANS: Use the acronym CAARS to help you remember: Complex institutions, Advanced cities, Advanced technology, Record-keeping, Specialization of labor

Development of River Valley CivilizationsCauses Effects • Spread of agricultural practices

and the domestication of animals allowed for more sophisticated and larger settlements to emerge

• Societies emerge where there was access to fresh water, along the Tigris/Euphrates, the Nile, the Indus and the Huang He rivers.

• Periodic flooding of the rivers provided rich fertile soil

• Civilization emerged with common political, economic, and cultural patterns

• Surplus agricultural output allowed some not to farm and new specialization of labor emerged.

• Social divisions became more pronounced

• Organized religions developed, first distinguished as mostly polytheist

• Law codes were introduced

CLASS WORK SHEET

Impact of Hammurabi’s Code• Mesopotamia, in present-day

Iraq, was a monarchy; Hammurabi became king

• Established a written, uniform code of laws

• By creating a single code of laws, law was less personal, more stable, and predictable

• Legal impact – the idea of a separate court system

Guided Practice: Summary• In the bottom portion of your c-notes, complete a summary over

the characteristics of a civilization and characteristics of Mesopotamia

• Remember- the question that you are trying to answer in your summary is the same question that we wrote at the beginning of class: IDENTIFY CAUSES AND DESCRIBE EFFECTS OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF RIVER VALLEY CIVILIZATIONS

• Here are some sentence stems to help you out: The river valley civilizations were established because… Some of the effects of the development of river valley civilizations were…(include examples of the characteristics of a civilization that formed in Mesopotamia)

Fun Fact• Mesopotamians did not believe in the after-life. They believed that all

people, good and bad, went underground and ate dirt when they died • Hammurabi’s Code is where the phrase “an eye for an eye” came from. For

example: if a son hit his father, the son’s hand would be cut off • Hammurabi’s Code included the idea of “innocent until proven guilty,” an

idea that the Greeks, and later Americans, would use• In 2003 an Indian citizen working in Saudi Arabia took part in a brawl,

wounding a man's eye. Puthan Veettil Abd ul-Latif Noushad was eventually sentenced, in 2005, to have his own right eye gouged out as punishment

• Iran also allows chemical blinding. In 2005 a 27-year-old man named only as Majid had been stalking a woman, Ameneh Bahrami. When she refused his advances he poured a container of sulphuric acid over her. Bahramiwas blinded and disfigured. Majid was sentenced to have five drops of hydrochloric acid dripped into each open eye, blinding him
