First Civilizations

The urge to "escape from civilization" has been an importing factor in modern life. Civilization came to be thanks to the agricultural revolution happening in the world. Central asia was one of the first civilizations. They had a distinctive culture style then the rest of civilizations. Economically, agriculture and stock raising was very distinct. Many different civilizations were taking place every where, every so often, new civilizations were being developed. Civilization roots came about during the Agricultural revolution. this is when societies started to form because without sufficient supplies societies were not able to reproduce or do anything with their time or life. Along the first civilization lyes the  inequality of wealth, status, and power. As societies developed inequality and hierarchies were being seen as indifferent and normal. Societies soon became divided into class and power. Soon people were starting to be distinguished by the clothes they wore, and houses they lived in, and were they were being buried. Hierarchies of gender were being generated by masculine or feminine which defined roles and behavior that were being considered appropriate for men and women. Inequalities of gender soon shaped the character of the civilization. patriarchal ideal described men and superior to women and sons to daughters. Masculinity  was a very important idea in the first civilizations. Majority of women always had to be out in public working in the fields. First civilizations were very different to the civilizations of the paleolithic era where men and women were equal and jobs were being done by both genders. It was a very together society and people respected each other in their societies.
