While-task 1: Tracing Globalization
Specific Instructions:
· In the table below, you will find different stages in the historical process of Globalization;
· For each stage, identify (a) leading empires, nations, and civilizations; (b) enabling innovations; (c) major products traded; (d) major discovery/innovation/event that boosted globalization
| | LEADING EMPIRES/NATIONS/CIVILIZATIONS | ENABLING INNOVATIONS | MAJOR PRODUCTS TRADED | MAJOR DISCOVERY/INVENTION/EVENT THAT BOOSTED GLOBALIZATION
| MESOPOTAMIA | Sumerians
Indus Valley Civilization in northern India. Akkadian Empire Assyrian Empire Babylonian Egypt Hittite Empire Shang China | Urbanization was also developed. This marked the end of the nomad living of humans by settling in a specific area. The invention of agriculture helped the people survive while also learning the concept of trade and taxes. Hydraulic Engineering - Sumerians developed a complex system of canals to collect and regulate water from the near river for their agricultural farm fields. Moreover, they also invented the plow, an essential tool in farming that helped them flourish in the agricultural aspect. Industrial-scale manufacturing was also developed by using their temples and forming large organizations to weave and produce textiles. It is believed that this concept is the predecessor of modern manufacturing. Pottery industry
| Metals wood Building stone Textiles Leather goods Jewelry Copper Pearls Ivory Agricultural products | The invention of wheels and sailboats served as a turning point by increasing the volume of traded products. It also decreased the length of transport time. Furthermore, this enables the people to travel to other early civilizations that were far away. Mathematics was also developed, which enable people to accurately count the products they sell and buy by counting and understanding the concept of zero, which is having no value. Thus, they were able to use a standardized system of weights and measurements Cuneiform was developed, which immensely helped track records or transactions that were transported through long distances. It marks the beginning of accounting of the goods and trades. Later, in larger cities, Cuneiform's uses extended to urban planning, contracts, and taxation The map concept development through the astronomical calculation in the base 60 system helped track the trade transportation. Ancient cartography is made by sketching in clay tablets that served as a map to illustrate the Akkadian region of Mesopotamia. Ancient cartography was used as a map for campaigns, hunting, and trading.
