This is CLA1:
From 3100 B.C.E. to 220 C.E., Mesopotamian, African,
American, Indian, Chinese, Grecian and Roman civilizations
flourished with developments that changed the world. As the
regions grew, they developed complex processes and structures
that were specific to their religious beliefs, social norms, and
ethical needs. For this assessment, you will be comparing and
contrasting these civilizations with special emphasis on their
gods, social rulers, and social order.
In a digital format, you will create a presentation showcasing

the differences and similarities between the regions. You are
able to use any digital format you would like to create the
presentation. There are many free programs available online
that are movie makers, slide presentation format (a template is
provided for this), or even a combination of multiple
presentation styles. Your presentation should include photos,
graphs, quotes, and/or video clips that show your synthesis of
the coursework on the two regions and individual research you
have completed. You should include at least three scholarly
articles in your research and cite appropriately.

As you have learned in this course, ancient world civilizations
and cultures have had great influence on modern society. Even
those civilizations that have ceased to exist seem to have as
great an influence on us as those who are still in existence.
TheRoman and Chinese empires are examples of cultures with
significant impact.For this assignment, you will research these
two civilizations in the time periodsdiscussed in your textbook,
focusing in on their most valued contributions, thefallout from
their ancient decline, and how their influence is felt in the
modernworld. Your information should be delivered in a
narrated slideshow/oralpresentation and accompanying a 2-3
page paper. The slideshow should beapproximately seven to ten
slides. Examples include YouTube, Visme, andVoiceThread (all
with free trials or student editions).

The ancient Greeks developed and influenced many aspects of
human civilization that are still applicable to this date. For
instance, the Greeks created the world’s first true democracy.
According to Tesar & Locke (2017), democracy can be
summarized as a government of the people, by the people, to the
people with direct or indirect influence in leadership and have a

system or representation that has periodically freely held
elections. In Athens, leadership started with absolute monarchy,
transformed over the years to oligarchy until it arrived at
democracy. The Athenian democratic government consisted of
6,000 members of assembly and all of them were adult male
citizens of Athens. There were votes on issues in the assembly
and there was a requirement of a majority of the votes in order
for a law to be passed. Currently, many nations apply
democratic leadership, including the united states that uses
representative democracy.
The single most important influence created by ancient Greeks
is education. The Greeks influenced every aspect of early
education that is still applicable and relevant today. For
instance, according to Tountas (2019), the Greek invented the
first human alphabet that became the first in the western sense
of the world with distinct vowels and letters. This was the base
where education started because people could use he alphabets
to learn how to read and write what they speak and how they
pronounce what they speak. The first Greek alphabet was in the
order of Dark Ages and it had 24 letters just like the current
alphabets with the order of Alpha and Omega. In fact, the word
alphabet was derived from the first two letters of the Greek
alphabet: alpha and beta.
Education is still the most important aspect of early human
civilization invented by Geeks because they were the ones to
properly define and create science and mathematics. Therefore,
Greece is the birthplace of many great mathematicians as well
as many famous scientists. According to Davidson (1898),
Eratosthenes was the first mathematician to calculate the earth’s
circumference. He did this through traditional mechanisms by
comparing the altitude of the mid-day sun at different places.
Eratosthenes is still the same person that calculated the earth’s
axial tilting, making these attributes fall back to Greece. The
famous Archimedes was also from Greece. In fact, Archimedes
is viewed as the greatest mathematician of all time because he
single-handedly created the modern geometrical theorems,

calculus, and came up with the formulas of calculating the area
of geometric shapes, including spheres and circles. Archimedes
also came up with the accurate pie approximation as well as the
design of effective pulleys and levers. Greece also had
Hipparchus, a generally acknowledged scientist to be the
greatest astronomer of antiquity. This is because Hipparchus
created the first ever known model that depicted the true
movement of the moon and the sun, and he is also the first
person to predict solar eclipse in recorded human history.
From the above explanation, it is apparent that education has its
roots in Greece. At least every person who has been to school
learns mathematics and some bits of science. This is because the
basic elements that are applicable in modern-day education have
their roots in Greece, making Greece to be the motherland of
education, an important aspect that everyone needs in order to
survive in the contemporary society.

This is PA1:
The biopsychosocial forces are issues that include,
psychological, biological, and social factors and their complex
interactions in understanding the life of an adult person as per

their health, illness, and the delivery of health care. Starting
with Biological forces, it encompasses all the genetic and all
factors related to health of a person. Therefore, according to
Reiser (2019), the biological forces provide set of boundary
conditions and materials needed for growth and development of
an individual. However, adults over the age of 23 years are past
the normal biological growth stage and thus their bodies tend to
develop according to the environment they expose themselves to
or the things they take in either through eating, injection, or
even through the mind. For my relative, he attested that there
was a time when he had no job and he was eating very little to
get a day to pass by. However, when he got a job in his late
20’s, he suddenly gained weight to the extent that he had to go
to the gym to indulge in physical exercise to reduce his weight.
This showed that after the growth stage is passed, the body
development depends on the characteristic of the person.
Psychological forces are second in line and they include all the
internal cognitive, perceptual, emotional, and personality
factors. According to Rice & Vestal (2018), the psychological
forces define the characteristics of a person and the factors that
are related to the influence of their behaviors. People who are
psychologically stable tend to have a peaceful and healthy life
since they have little to keep worrying about. In fact, research
has shown that people with stable psychological minds tend to
live longer than the people whose psychology has been troubled.
My relative attested that at one point during his youth, he had a
heartbreak from his beloved girlfriend and it took him down
psychologically. He could not read, he could not watch, he
could not eat and he certainly could not work well. This is
because he had been disturbed mentally and he had to take time
to recover from his heartbreak before things turned to normal
again.
The sociocultural forces ae third in line within the
biopsychosocial spectrum and they include all the societal,
interpersonal, cultural, and ethnic factors. According to
Finnegan (2016), these forces have a high likelihood of

affecting a person’s life permanently because people tend to
become what they are surrounded with and may cling to
whatever they were raised up to for the rest of their lives. For
instance, the relative lived in a culture that depicted that a man
was the head of a house and he had to bear everything in life for
himself. Their culture depicted that men are meant to suffer and
bear the pain no matter what circumstances and they should not
go about ratting their pain to other people. This has affected his
life interaction almost permanently such that whenever he is
faced with depression or anxiety, he keeps things to himself
rather than seek help.
The fourth biopsychosocial force is the life-cycle forces which
is a reflection of how the events affect people at different ages
(Rice & Vestal (2018). For instance, when someone is young,
they get thrilled by some issues like Christmas and other child
stuff but as they grow older, they begin to realize that some
events have no magnitude as they used to be when they were
kids. For instance, the relative I interviewed claimed that when
he was younger, he used to think that life was perfect, flawless
and fun because everyone around him used to smile at him and
give him any present he/she had. However, as he grew up, he
realized that the adult world was in fact full of rootedness and
the most surprising thing is that people were swimming in the
rot and celebrating it.

This paper focuses on the comparison of chapter eight (Rites of
Passage: Physical and Cognitive Development during
Adolescence) and nine (Moving into the Adult Social World:
Socio emotional Development in Adolescence) with the radio
diaries of adolescents. There are the experiences written by the
adolescents on the Teenage Diaries of National Public Radio.
From the year 1996, the Adolescent Diaries group has provided
recordings from adolescent people throughout the nation. People
attend meetings, have audio records, and tape the qualities of
the daily story, regularly getting longer than thirty hours of
fresh tape over time, published within documentaries promoting
on NPR’s Only Information Considered. And the chapter 8 and
9 are among my course of this semester.
We will focus on the points like what cognitive and physical
improvements happen throughout puberty what transformations
take place throughout adolescence, what is required for optimal
growth throughout puberty and how do teenagers turn from kids
concerning their views on ethical problems. As per the views
mentioned in chapter eight on the topic of puberty is that
puberty has two kinds of physical differences that indicate the
passage from adolescence to adolescent adulthood. The body
changes in adolescence include:
• Growth explosion
• Physical maturation
• Growth of testes and breasts
Ladies typically begin their adulthood streams at the age of
eleven and boys begin their adulthood streams at the age of
thirteen. Reproductive maturation further takes spot throughout
adolescence. Main sex features are physical symptoms of
development rapidly connected to the generative organs.
Subsequent sex features are visible symptoms of development
not instantly connected to the generative organs.
• In girls, the widening of the pelvis and the fullness of

breasts are the symptoms of puberty.
• In boys, the growth of facial hair and widening of arms are
among the symptoms of puberty.
• In both girls and boys, the hair on the body, differences in
voice, and variations in the skin are among the symptoms of
puberty.
As per the experience of Emily who is 16 years old, she always
wanted to older. According to her the teenage life is fantastic as
coolest part of a life. What I have listened to Emily’s life
experience on the puberty when she started growing up, I get
one very important thing that she was very excited and waiting
to be young or be older. Now, this thing is very clear to me that
in the books that puberty have two kinds of physical differences
that indicate the passage from adolescence to adolescent
adulthood and the body changes in adolescence include growth
explosion, physical maturation, and growth of testes and
breasts, the real experience of a girl can be very different. As
Emily experienced like the widening of the pelvis and the
fullness of breasts are the symptoms of puberty. She began her
adulthood streams at the age of eleven and the reproductive
maturation further takes spot throughout adolescence. Main sex
features are physical symptoms of development rapidly
connected to the generative organs. She also observed that she
continue to grow in puberty including the fullness of breasts
and the growth explosion. The starts of Emily’s period are
approximately at the age of thirteen.
in the chapters of this course, "Rites of Passage: Physical and
Cognitive Development during Adolescence" and "Moving into
the Adult Social World: Socio emotional Development in
Adolescence," I learned that what creates the physical
differences that happen throughout adolescence and I learned
that pituitary gland delivers adulthood hormone and signs
different organs to discharge hormones. The physical
differences that happen throughout adolescence also include
genetic impacts, for instance, the age of a mother of menarche
is similar to the life of her child will encounter it. The physical

differences that happen throughout adolescence also include
environmental factors, which include sufficient nourishment and
health care effect adolescence to happen earlier, and menarche
happens early in a girl with constant anxiety.
According to the coursebook, adolescents have to utilize
experimentation to create their individual personalities, which
also observed in many experiences of adolescents recorded in
the Teenage Diaries of National Public Radio. Teenagers
frequently proceed by various steps on their way to make their
own personalities, and it is also very important. I learned and
can compare this personality making in the experience of Nick.
Nick chronicles a tumultuous time in life. Nick's age was 15 and
he dislikes school, although anyhow he needs to learn to make
supporters or friends.
I observed from the story of Nick and the topic of personality
making and identities among people as a teenager or a new
grownup that a focus of a teen should on her own emotions and
actions in the process of Adolescent egocentrism. This is
frequently described through an imagined public that the faith
that their companions are continually observing them. Intimate
fable is also important to create own identity and personality
which includes a faith that their personal actions and liveliness
are different and no person has ever seemed like this before.
The illusion of security is also important to create own identity
and personality which includes a feeling that disaster only
appears to others.
Like Nick teenagers of around 15 years old should know that
who can help them to make and understand the new
personalities and identities.
• Companions, particularly friendly, reliable fellows.
• More general social setting that adds restrictions of
failing.
• Parents, particularly when parents are free for the
conversation and support their kids to investigate various
possibilities.
• Character, particularly openness and agreeability to

practice.
As per my learning on the comparison of the book's content and
the life experiences of the teenagers that self-esteem normally
supports at the beginning of puberty. Seldom teenagers do fall
as kids adapt to new institutions and a new social group as Nick
did. Self-esteem converts further differentiated in puberty.
Various steps of self-esteem for social communications,
academics, and physical difficulties are also important. Social
part also more complicated and differentiated in the teenager's
life and these are important to be focused.
I have understood that by the comparison of different
experiences that most teenagers have in confident relations with
their parents, the growing self-sufficiency of teenagers does
improve the relationship between parents and a child. I have
also learned that it is normally among people related to demand
and physical attractiveness. I have also learned that faith and
kindness become more powerful in relations as teens grow and
healthy teenager connections compared with satisfying grown-
up relationships. I have also learned that boys lead to view sex
as more recreational and girls lead to see sex as a representation
of emotion and love, as mentioned in some experiences of
teenagers' boys and girls.
