week 2 daily 3

3. Which do you think is a better roadmap of history, artifacts of the humanities (art, music, dance, theatre, literature, philosophy, architecture, etc) or political/military conflicts? Why? (from Twitter)




I believe a better roadmap of history artifacts of the humanities. Artifacts of humanities are things such as art, music, dance, theatre, literature, philosophy, architecture, etc. People always refer to the renaissance of one of if not the best times of humanity. Culture flourished and there was no war. Whenever a country is in war it resources, wealth, and people are exploited. It starves the country and limits culture. If you were to make a roadmap of history I believe that it would best to use artifacts of humanities such as art, music, dance, theatre, literature, philosophy, architecture, etc. instead of political or military conflicts. Countries such as Egypt are going through political conflicts and its people ae rebelling against their leader and forcing him to step down as form his position as a dictator. This is one of the lesser parts of Egypt’s culture and its citizens are getting seriously injured and are dying. This would not make a good roadmap of Egypt though because if you go back a couple thousand years Egypt was very culture and even though it was a dictator ship its people were happy and it was one of the strongest civilizations with a great culture, religion, and art. If created its very own writing system out of Hieroglyphs. This is a very impressive feat.
