Chapter 6 Eurasian Social Hierarchies

Chapter six focuses on social hierarchies. People were judged on how much money they had and what clothes they wore. The chapter mainly covers China, Rome, and India. China had the best hiearchary to me. Money and race also had a huge impact on social class. Civilizations became more stable and made improvement. The picture on page 159 caught my attention. It shows Chinese peasants farming plowing and planting crops. The second part of the chapter talks about slavery in the classical era. In China slavery was a minoe element but was a big factor in Rome.
