Silk Road
“The prosperity of the Silk Road sowed the seeds of eventual change.”(The World and It’s Peoples 206) The silk road was one of the elements to the rise of our modern civilization today. ... Not only did the Silk Road bring forth the combining of people from different ethnic backgrounds, but also all the unique cultural values that each culture has. Technology is an important part of developing any civilization, and with the help of the Silk Road, building a stable community became easier because of the dependance it could have had on the Silk Road. The Silk Road may also be seen as a road to prosperity for the people within it because the Silk Road provided traders and merchants access to other civilizations through the art of trading and commerce.
