Think about the Qin Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the 2nd Han Dynasty--specifically in the following areas of education, politics, economics and social structure. In your opinion, which of these dynasties was most beneficial for the people, and why? Give specific examples.

In my belief both were beneficial. The Qin Dynasty was the first unified, multi-national and power-centralized state in the Chinese history, despite only surviving for 15 years. But it held an important role in Chinese history and it exerted great influence on the following dynasties. Now the Han Dynasty was considered as one of the most powerful dynasty in Chinese history lasting for 400 years. The Han Dynasty was one of the great dynasties of Ancient China. Much of Chinese culture was established during the Han dynasty and it is sometimes called the Golden Age of Ancient China. It was an era of peace and prosperity and allowed China to expand to a major world power. So in my belief I think it’s how you look at it but I think the Han Dynasty was more beneficial for the people.

Several different things make up a culture like, how the people worship, their form of government, geography, and trade. religion is one of the most important things to a culture, it defines peoples life. their different beliefs form into festivities and events that merge with their culture. people that practice hinduism see cows as gods, so no doubt they would celebrate cows, and these celebrations would definitely merge with their culture. those that are buddhist live life trying to reach a certain level of peace, so no doubt would they change things in their life in order to correspond with their religion.
