Over the course of the semester we have seen a number of different styles of government and leadership(priest-kings, demi-god pharaohs, emperors, democracies, republics), beliefs and ideologies (Ma’at, Exodus, Mandate of Heaven, Confucianism, Taoism), and models of building a society (Sparta v. Athens, Rome). Out of all of the ideas we have explored, which three are the most effective at promoting stability within a culture? Why? For this essay you are asked to think about the different readings and materials from lecture and provide three concepts which you believed were the most effective at promoting a stable civilization and explain what about these concepts made them so effective of maintaining a culture to continue to operate in that fashion.
