Building Civilization

World History has taught us the build up of civilizations. Strayer writes about plenty of examples of civilization, but one that points out to me is the highways, most importantly the silk highway. That is an example in history that pointed out to me extremely. The silk road travelers ha to make new technological advances to make traveling faster, more convenient, and simpler. Technological advances that the silk road created has a long term impact on our global history. Since the silk road, globally people have been trying to find better faster ways to travel to get trade goods all around the world. The silk road trade system introduced a sort of social structure as well, the people who deliver, distribute, and receive. As a business major I find this fascinating how business still works the same way today.
