The Big Question:
From your study of these societies, what stood out most for you as a similarity of between
Canada and your ancient society and what stood out as a difference?
What stood out for a difference from ancient China to Canada is how they treated people
and how it was a hard life if you weren’t born into the right family and how they distributed
the power threw kings and taking over places. The similarities are that they have some kind
for government that had power over the country and that had someone who had the most
power over the country to make decisions.
