Major Civilizations
Looking around at the society, there are quite a number of sophisticated processes from the way people relate with one another, with the animals and with material that are found on the earth surface, water and even underground (National Geographic Society). There is a high level of organization within the human society that is almost astounding. It quite interesting to note that, it was not always as it is today. As several years back, people were not as civilized as they are today. Aspects such as language and social elements of organization in the society were not as developed (Historyworld). However, over the years, the human society has become one of the most sophisticated. What is more interesting is that, the level of civilization has not come to a close. Rather it is a continuous process, that goes on even today. Whenever there is the mention of the civilization processes, there three main places that are considered to have been quite pivotal to evolution of the process; China, Egypt and India. These are some of the first places that have been recorded to have had some very significant civilization corner stones (Historyworld). They form the bulk of the evidence that have been collected across the globe, where some significant civilization processes have taken place leading to the society that we have today (National Geographic Society). However, civilization is a wide topic and it is crucial to consider some of the more specific elements that led to the developments that human societies enjoy today with reference to the three places. Rivers have formed the basis for most of the world civilizations across the globe (Historyworld). In this case, some of the main rivers that played a crucial role in the human civilization process are associated with China, Egypt and India are Yellow, Nile and Indus. As such, these are civilizations that can be referred to as river valley civilizations ("Ancient River Civilizations"). From the base point that the rivers offered a valuable resource, that is, water for human, agricultural and industrial use, rivers formed a very significant point in most of the civilizations across the globe, not just in these three places.
The Chinese civilization along the Yellow River
The Chinese civilization is one that has had some profound impacts on the development that the Asian community has seen over the years. Like most of the above-mentioned civilization, this is also a river valley civilization. Ideally, this is a civilization that is associated with a number of rivers among the major ones the Yellow River ("Ancient Yellow River Civilization, Culture"). This is a river that has brought some subtle level of growth in the region with reference to industrial and agricultural growth. Most of the areas that are around the river have significantly rich fertile soils. As such, for most of the people along the river, they had ample water to irrigate the land. Coupled with the fertile lands, most of the people settled along the river valley (De, Bary W. T, Irene Bloom, Wing-tsit Chan, Joseph Adler, and Richard J. Lufrano).
One of the aspects that can be derived from the Yellow river is the element of food production. This is a key element in a...
