Second wave civilization

Second wave civilization

Second wave civilization was impacted by a lot of things.  States and empires rose, others fell, religion and cultural practices were also great impacts on the second wave civilization, not to mention how gender also played a vital role in the civilization process. During the second wave of civilization, we find that women took place or rather took a position in leadership, which was not happening before the second wave due to lack of togetherness amongst men and women and also due to slavery that was rampant those days. This is evident from the readings as we see Buddhist ad Christian women finding tables in civilization during the second wave.

Empires and states rose, one being the Roman republic, which rose to The Roman Empire, which lead to an increase in population. However, only states that supported the second wave were able to attain this. Lack of support to second wave civilization lead to other states collapsing during the second wave. A perfect example of a state that collapsed during the second wave is the state of Persia. Different cultures and traditions were embraced in their diverse ways. A good example is the learning that took place in the monastic communities, as mentioned in the reading.
