Postclassical Era Reading
Based on the reading of the postclassical era, it seems that this period of time will be about rebuilding the empires in the eastern hemisphere. The essay indicated how political and social turmoil led to these societies' downfalls and as a result, restoring order to these fields was a first priority. Also, it sounds as if the empires will become more commercialized and industrialized because of the increase in manufacturing and trading as well as the decrease in cultivation. This time period appears to be a successful era for all of the empires in the eastern hemisphere. For example, with new and advanced agricultural techniques, farming improved and in turn, led to a rise in human population. Also, it allowed more people to be focused on manufacturing, which resulted in an increase in inventions as well as creative, innovational thinking. According to the reading, the different changes that this era brought to these societies would continue to be influential even to this day. For example, the new religions that spread across the empires, such as Islam and Roman Catholic Christianity, are still present nowadays.
