When I was sitting on a decomposing tree stump, I saw the great snowy mountains with jagged edges. The large, bright, orange sun was providing a spectacular sunrise for my clan. One of the mountains had a massive white melting glacier, which appeared orange because of the suns light. At the bottom of the mountains there was a refreshing smelling pine tree forest. The green needles were swaying in the gentle wind. Suddenly, I saw packs of gray wolves with shining transparent icicles all over them. They were chasing a herd of brown deer with tall pointed antlers. The deer herd seemed frightened as they quickly ran past my campsite. I was so close to the deer that I could smell their rotten breath. Right above the chase in the early morning sky, I saw eagles scout-
ing out delicious prey for their next meal. After I saw all of the wild animals, I put a piece of juicy deer meat on the crackling re. My clan had gone hunting in the woods for meat yesterday. Right after that moment, I started to work again with my clan and we began doing our daily jobs.

Part I - Analysis of the Problem

The rst step in building a successful civilization is to secure basic human needs such as food, shelter, and clothing. Due to its geography, the major
4
challenges the civilization of Rarlj faces in achieving a basic food and water supply include the following:
1. The mountainous terrain is a difcult place to start a civilization because rst of all there is bad weather, which can make it hard for many plants to grow. Planting crops would be difcult because they might die due to a lack of oxygen and carbon dioxide. To make this more complicated, the ground is too rocky to plant. If we tried to hunt, we could perish due to an unreliable amount of animals. So, if we didnt modify our environment, we would starve to death. ! 2. The mountains have an unsanitized water
houses. Then we would have to rebuild the structures. We would also have to nd a way to clean the water, because if we did, we wouldnt die. There are some ways to clean water, but they are hard to come by. We could try to start a re outside, but then the re could get extinguished. After a ood the re would be extinguished. If we didnt nd any other way to clean the water, our civilization would be destroyed and everyone would die.
supply. The icy water sometimes has silt in it. It could also contain animal waste, which is sometimes hard to clean. If we tried to clean it, it could take a long time. If the glaciers melted fast, a heavy rainstorm, or a ash ood could drown our

Part II - Proposed Solution

In order for this civilization to survive, we need to modify our environment. Modications are when you make physical changes in your environment. An example of a modication is to build an earth step. The Greeks are like us because we are mountain people. They built terraces to make even land. (Frey 249) Also, for a civilization to survive, we would need to modify our land so we could plant crops. Some of the problems for our civilization would be: bad weather, limited amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide, and rocky soil. To x these problems we would need to build a green house that is in the valley. In the valley it there would have a lot of silt, so the ground is more fertile. On this ground
6
we are like the Mayans because farming wasnt easy in he mountainous land. Even in the plains and valleys, the land was rocky. (Frey 249) The green houses roof allows carbon dioxide out for the plants. The roof can be closed in bad weather, so the plants would not get frozen. In the green house, we would start a compost area where the good soil would be made. The last solution would be to get the best soil and put it in the greenhouse in separate piles so the plants would not die as quickly. Another feature that is necessary for a civilization to survive is to modify your land so you can use the water. Before we pick up the water, we can clean the visible animal waste (if we can pick it up) and have a place to store the water. Our water
is unclean; therefore we would have to nd a way to purify it. It could have silt or animal waste in it. To x this problem we can start a re. Then we would put the stone on the re. We would put water on a stone with an indent on it. Then the bacteria in the water would get boiled out. Also, there are ash oods from melting, rainfall and glaciers. We could use the melting water for our irrigation systems. We could also build a wall so the water doesnt destroy the houses. Our civilization would be like the Mesopotamians because, They also constructed dams along the river to block the water and to collect it in pools they had built. (Frey 36)

Part I - Lessons on Democracy

! Most people in civilizations had to go
which was kings, and there was only one person as ruler. Their sons did inherit the power. In a monarchy, the ruling power is in the hands of one per-
through different stages in their government. In Athens, the civilization rst had a monarchy,

is when few people are rulers. After a while people didnt like it because in oligarchies rich get richer and poor get poorer. To add onto these oligarchs Most Greek oligarchs were aristocrats, men who had inherited land from their families. So a tyrant, illegally came into power. Athens later became a tyranny. In a tyranny, one-person rules, their sons do not sometimes inherit the power. So later the Athenian Citizens got tired of tyrants. So then a democracy happened. A democracy is

when many people are rulers. That started the Athenian Assembly. In the Athenian Assembly people use a direct democracy. A direct democracy is when everyone votes, but in Athens not

every one voted. Only men, not slaves or women and people who were born in Athens could vote.
Although Sparta didnt have the same ideas, they had an oligarchy, which meant they had two kings. Besides their kings they had 28 other men with them. That was called the Council of Elders. In The Council of Elders the men there were over 60. They had to be voted on that council. To be elected to the Council of Elders, men had to be from a noble family. (Frey 265) They practically decided every law. Below the Council of Elders there was another council called the Spartan Assembly. In that assembly there were only men over 28. They could only vote yes or no on laws. ! Another civilization is Rome. They started off

made
laws that only beneted themselves. Later the plebeians got angry and made The Conict of Orders. In the Conict of Orders there were constantly people arguing. The struggle took a dramatic turn in 494 B.C.E. By then, Rome was a city between 25,000 and 40,00 people. (Frey 319) Then later the Plebeians got more rights. They had the Council of Plebs. In the Council of Plebs the
with kings or Etruscan kings. Then later they split up into two groups, the Patricians who the rich and the Plebeians who the poor. The patricians
11
plebeians could vote for laws that only could be used for the Plebeians not the patricians. Then after that the plebeians didnt like that they were only making laws for themselves, so they later could send people to the council with the patricians. Then they could veto. Veto is when you have power for the government. Then the Romans had written laws that helped the government which were called the Twelve Tables.
dont have a criminal record. I learned from Sparta that we shouldnt really use anything because they killed everything. They had an oligarchy and only two men had power. The last thing that I learned was from Rome. They had written laws. That is smart because then patricians the rich cant change it as often.

Part III - Political Leadership from Julius Caesar

There are many lessons that my civilization of
zens to help the army prosper. This was important because made a stronger army to ght off different civilizations that were trying to attack them. However, my civilization needs all people to be pleased because then a leader can oversee a successful society. Therefore, it can grow at a healthy rate. It is important to try to keep all citizens contented in a society because a leader could be overthrown or executed and then the civilization would fail.
Rarlj can learn from the political leadership of Julius Caesar. He gave work to thousands of Romans by starting projects to make new roads and public buildings. (Political Leadership of Julius Caesar) Julius Caesar lowered tax for the poor so they didnt have to pay more money to the rich senators. Caesar staged gladiator contests that the poor could watch for free. He created additional jobs for the poor. He only allowed citizens have at the most three slaves per person, which angered the senators because they were not earning as much money and their work wasnt getting completed. Most citizens had hundreds of slaves. He made Sicily, Spain and Gaul inhabitants become Roman citi15
Part IV - Political Leadership Lessons from Augustus Caesar

! My civilization learned a lot from Augustus
Caesar. He did good and bad things for Rome. For example he did one major good thing He ate
common food. (Order from Chaos) This made him a good leader because he wasnt spoiled rich and he was more polite and kind. Also Augustus he referred to himself as First Citizen (Political Leadership of Caesar Augustus) This made him not seem to be king as much, so, the citizens of Rome wouldnt want to kill him as much. Anther good thing that he did was that he did fasts. (Order from Chaos) This made him be more like a citizen, not a spoiled, rich senator that only cared about the taxes from the plebeians. These three facts will be good for Rarlj because my civilization will be as kind as Augustus and take fasts once in a while. ! Even though Augustus was a great ruler he
Then he made unmarried couples who dont have children pay more taxes. This is unfair because some people cant have children so he is practically just making people pay more because they cant have children. Also people that are unmarried and cant have children cant inherit property. It just goes back to Rome. My civilization wouldnt be that rude to the citizens of Rarlj. My civilizaAugustus Caesar came into power after Julius Caesars death

sons. The main reasons were that Urban Decay, Unemployment, and Military Spending. In Urban Decay people were getting too rich. When they were getting to rich they were waisting their money on parties. In the parties they ate and drank until they vomited. That made the poor not have as much food. Also the poor had to live in crowded houses, so they couldnt sleep as well. They also probably had diseases in there too. Secondly there was Unemployment. Less people had jobs. 100,000 in Rome didnt have jobs. That made

For example, if you you followed all your duties as a slave you will be reborn into a job that is better then a slave. Then if you did bad in one life you will be reborn into a bad job.
