Who is The Best Leader in the World

If i was to choose a modern day leader who is a positive leader instead of a tyrant that would be Angela Merkel. I came to this point where thinking that Angela Merkel (today’s German officer) is one of the greatest leaders in the World. She is Germany’s today’s leader, but from my point of view I would say that she is also the leader of the entire Euro zone. Even though there is a president of the European Union, he does not have the power such as Angela Merkel. Germany is today the wealthiest country in the entire Euro zone, maybe in the entire Europe. This all depends on what of a leader does a country have, In Serbia it is a overall catastrophe in the current parliament. While in Germany everything functions very well. In the today’s economical crises, Greece has completely bankrupted. Thus, this resulted that Germany had to deliver Greece around 100 million Euros in order not to have protests and demonstrations in the whole country. From this what we can see is that Germany is an extremely rich country and that it wants to sustain the Euro zone. If I was on her place I would kick out Greece out of the European Union. Because now when they are bankrupted, the entire euro zone has to work for only Greece in order to help it. I think that that is a waste of time, money, and energy. The Greek parliament had to be wiser and to dispose of its sources. Know Greece's only source is tourism, which will provide with a minimal amount of profit which will not be enough to bring back the states cashbox into its original shape. In this particular time period when there is an economical crises in the whole World, Germany has a very good shape of its states cashbox. I would say that for this Angela Merkel is responsible, for being an excellent officer and leader of the most powerful country in the Euro zone. Plus, in a newspaper that came out about a month ago it said, that Angela Merkel is the most powerful women in the World.

Reflection on Cunieform Writing

This activity was extremely fun, especially learning a new alphabet, which was the alphabet of ancient Mesopotamia. The hardest thing that was in this activity was writing cuneiform, translating and reading was not hard that much. To me cuneiform is better an easier than English, because while writing you don't have to to watch out for commas, periods, colons, and other punctuation. On the other hand, writing in cuneiform is much harder than in normal English, because you have to color in each shape, while in English you just write normally letters of the alphabet.

Hamurabi's Fair and Unfair Laws

Could you imagine a world without any laws, how would it be? The first roots of laws have came from the ancient Mesopotamia. The first laws in Mesopotamia were rote be the great ruler Hammurabi. The first records were written in ancient Mesopotamia, although, the laws were very harsh and strict, hens, some were also unfair. The reason why certain laws are more stricter and harsher than others, is that it depended i what rank of the society pyramid you were. Even today the same rule is applied to today's laws and society rules. Here are some of the Hammurabi Laws which have been translated from the ancient language of Mesopotamian to English, all of these laws are making the whole set of Mesopotamian laws called the Hammurabi Code

So far there have been occurring fair and unfair laws,but most of the laws are fair than unfair, but from my point of view I can say that many of these laws are roots of the today's laws.

The Begginings of Civilization

The most important moment in the history of human civilization happened between 7,000 and 10,000 years ago, with transition from hunting and gathering to farming. Before that, humans were forced to live in small, scattered, self sufficient groups who lived on the constant move. Transition to farming provided humans with steady supply of food year-round, and if they happened to live in a fertile area they had soon secured food surplus for the first time in human history. Before that, humans were more or less unsecure of when and where their next meal will come from. Food surplus also allowed people to have bigger families which led to global population growth . Scientists estimate that about 10,000 years ago, world’s population was about 5,000,000 people, and by 7,000 years ago, it was already 20,000,000. Farming settlements grew to villages, and then to towns and eventually to cities, food surplus also provided an opportunity which did not previously exist in human history, that is not all the people were involved in food production. Therefore, they had enough time to spend on improving their skills and talents, and became artisans, who invented so many new crafts and produced so many new items, which made everyday day life easier. The most crucial invention was a wheel, which was invented around 3,000 years ago, probably in Mesopotamia or Asir. The invention of wheel enabled people to travel great distances and sell their own food surplus, arts and crafts in other villages, towns, and cities, which provided cultural exchange and greatly enriched the communities involved. The other very important invention was bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, which enabled craftsmen to make more strong and durable metal items All of these were foundation for development of civilizations which are societies that have cities, a central government run by officials and workers specialized in different jobs, from writing and art to trade and building. Soon the trade was spread not only on the land but also over the big bodies of water. Unfortunately, overall development led to development of social classes i.e. group of people with similar backgrounds, incomes and ways of living. The social hierarchy went from king or chief to religious leaders, noble man and land owners to government officials and military officers, then to traders and craftsmen, and finally, to common workers and farmers who were the poorest members of the society. Finally the most unfortunate ones were slaves who were owned as property and had no human rights.
