Change in the Classical Period

Though there were many changes during the Classical period, such as continuity, impacts on daily life, and trends and societies, I found that the biggest change that occured was the establishment of cultures, because they were developed, and they left durable legacies. Each major civilization promoted a commom cultural system for social and family customs, integrate elites, and provide bonds between leadership groups and the ordinary people. Civilizations also conquered other peoples and areas and created large empires, so they learned other cultures and combined them with their's. Trade helped expand knowledge, views, goods, etc. between civilizations like India, Asia, Rome, Africa, and more. Furthermore, people made great developements in philosophy, politics, and art. For example, Confucianism influenced societies other than China, people would build on achievements of Greek science, the competition between Buddhism and Hinduism in India, and the generation of powerful beliefs and their spread within each civilization.
