Western Civilization’s key aspects are essentially what set the
foundation to the way we live today. They created an economy
based heavily on trade and relying on each other, as we do
today every country in the world needs something from other
countries to survive and they realized instead of traveling to
gather necessities they could trade for what they needed from
other people they need something they have. They didn’t create
hierarchy, but western civilization started hierarchy over city-
states, I would call the first government structure. People in
groups started having traditions and believing in religions so I
take it this was the start of what people’s beliefs are today.
People had jobs such as farming, raising domesticated animals,
metal workers, textile production, etc… Everyone pitched in to
help their people to strive and played a role. I would say this
was the first true start to an economy like what we know of it

existing today, and we have started this whole civilization
thousands of years ago. It amazes me how they had
mathematicians, irrigation systems, and how advance they
became from literally being cave men and women. It amazes me
how they kept record and created some of the earliest forms of
record keeping and we are able to study their way of living
today.
