religion in river civilization
We see the continuity of religion throughout the paleolithic period to the rise of civilizations. in the hunting and gathering society, religion played a key role through rituals such as burying the dead and role of Goddesses was prominent. Women and men had equal contributions in society and this was also representative in religion. As one moved foward, polytheism continued. Gods were used to explain phenomenon of nature as well as reinforce civic loyalty. Progression to river civilizations in Mesopotamia ie babylon and Hammurabi's laws outlined some of these rules in society. If the river god Adad flooded your farm you were exempt from your tax burden to the state.

The religious roles of women in buddhism, social, economic *Religious- In the buddhist religion women were allowed to participate in rituals, and become nuns where they dedicate their lives to the divine spirit. *Social- Women where considered equal in the eyes of the divine spirit they where not under men, nor where men beneath them. Every man and woman was equal. They had social equality. There where also the monks, nuns, and bodhisattvas. *Economic- Since women used Buddhism as a way to escape the harsh social hierarchy of Confucianism and where then able to own land I can assume they had a role in the economy. I couldn?t find anything on what they really did.

1.?????? Roman Senate- A council whose members were the heads of wealthy, landowning families. Originally an advisor body to the early kings, in the era of the Roman Republic the Senate effectively governed the Roman State and the growing empire. Under senate leadership, Rome conquered an empire of unprecedented extent in the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In the first century B.C.E. quarrels among powerful and ambitious senators and failure to address social and economic problems led to civil wars and the emergence of the rule of the emperors. They could veto or add laws. Number of senators corresponded with the number of tribes. Not all senators held equal power.

Cause of the Salem Witch Trials The 1692 Salem Witch Trials highlight the horrific ramifications of dogmatic Puritanism in 17th century Massachusetts society. The captivating events that culminated in the execution of 20 citizens have been an issue of great intrigue for centuries. While there is disagreement as to the cause of the trials, it is evident that understanding the inducement of that summer?s events is imperative to understanding Puritan society. Evidence suggests that the events of 1692, which likely began as childish play, came to fruition as a result of dogmatism, paranoia, and ensuing political opportunism between the Putnam and Porter families.
