The ancient mode of production (antiquity) was based on a form of division of labor between two social classes, namely slaves and slave owners. In these agrarian societies, the slave owners controlled the forces of production and the means of production, including estates and plantations.

Summary: This essay will examine the political application of Neo-Confucianism in China under the Ming dynasty.

38.18891 Civilization and the Mongols.
Summary: The Mongols tied together a vast region of Asia and extended their power into European Russia. The Ottomans spanned the Middle East, North Africa, and eastern and southeastern Europe.

Thinking of the nature, scope and intensity of the contact, answer the following questions and add any questions you think should have been asked. Did the contacts change cultural attitudes, political thought, economic development, and religion? Were there some components of the civilizations we studied that were unaffected by contact with other peoples?

39.122 Balkans.
This paper discusses the Balkans. The Turks' guiding principle was to raid, war against and make life miserable to the Christians in the interest of Islam. They belonged to the Byzantine Empire, the capital of which was Constantinople, the apple of the eye of the Turks, then headed by the prophet Muhammad. But it was not until the rule of Muhammad the Conqueror that this great ghazi or conquest was carried out. In 1453, Muhammad and his troops bombed the city walls of Constantinople for months, and having been so badly damaged, it did not take the Turks a day to capture it and destroy the last bit of it. Thus was how the misery of its Christian inhabitants, begun by the brutal siege, continued.

41.249 Palestrina and the Counter-Reformation.
This paper is written on the greatest composer of all times - Palestrina. Palestrina, thought by many to be the greatest composer of all time, was born in Palestrina in 1514 or 1515 according to Baini, Riemann, and others. According to Haberi, he died in February 2, 1594 in Rome, though his early history is virtually unknown. A manuscript in the Vatican relates that a young Palestrina sang in the streets of Rome while offering for sale the products of his parent's farm. On such occasion, he was heard by the choirmaster of Santa Maria Maggiore, who was impressed with the boy's beautiful voice. He pronounced his musical talent and educated him musically. He was a pupil of Mallapert and Firmin Lebel at St. Maria Maggiore, Rome, where he was a choirboy from at least 1544. In 1547, he married Lucrezia Gloria; they had three children.

42.16105 Human Society in the Paleolithic Era
This three-page undergraduate essay examines the nature and character of human society during the Paleolithic Age. The author discusses how the institutions and technology of Paleolithic peoples contributed to future civilization, and notes that their hunger for practical knowledge and instinct for endless invention and innovation are perhaps the greatest legacies they left for future civilization, because these traits were inherited by succeeding generations. Like our Paleolithic ancestors, we are never satisfied with the status quo and are always searching for new ways to improve their lives.
