rview and Rationale


Upon Africa's soils our prehistoric relatives have walked side by side. From its territories, great
civilizations have risen to glory. Through its peoples, astounding cultures have grown and
flourished. Yet many myths remain about Africa. A lack of understanding of the rich heritage of
Africa which have resulted in distorted perceptions of the African continent and its people. But
one of the biggest reasons for the perpetuation of negative ideas and misinterpretations is the
simple neglect or avoidance of the continent's ancient history. In studying the history of African
culture and civilization the students will gain an understanding of why there exists gradation of
Africa and its peoples.
The Chinese have built a civilization that has lasted longer than any other in the world. In 5000
B.C., Chinese lived in the fertile Huang He river valley. The original civilization was taken over by
the Shang dynasty which initiated the rule by dynasty throughout China. Through the ages,
China has given the world some important inventions, such as paper, pottery called porcelain,
and silk cloth. The products became a catalyst for the Silk Road and a massive trade network
linking Asia with Europe. The Chinese developed a form of writing during the Shang Dynasty. The
Great Wall and the Grand Canal were important feats of construction. Today, the Chinese belief
system includes elements of three important religions. Confucius taught that moral character
was important. He said that individuals should be responsible for their society. He also believed
that rulers should treat their people with care and kindness. Confucius ideas guided the Chinese
bureaucracy, in which different departments ran different parts of the government. Lao Tzu
developed Taoism. Buddhism made its way from India to China in the A.D. 200s. Chinese
achievements have influenced Western culture and developments.
