Blog Entry #2 Biggest Change

There were many huge changes during the classical period. The biggest change that occurred during the classical time period was the formation of large regional civilizations in China, India, the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Model civilizations had important relationships with nomadic groups, mostly from central Asia, who traded with them and periodically attempted invasion. Another big change was that each of the civilizations had its own social structure, geographical location, political system, systems of science, and various arts, until now most civilizations were basically the same, but how they could choose how they express themselves creatively, politically, and spiritually. These traits made the civilizations stand out from one another and be unique. I would say these new expressions were the biggest change during the classical period.
