Comparison between Ancient China and Singapore Civilisations
Who am I? I am Aicirt, a time traveller. Recently I traveled to the view livelihood in Ancient China. Was it interesting, you might ask? Indeed it was, which is why, I wee decided to compare two aspects of behavior in the former(a) civilisations with life in Singapore to daytime.My first aspect would be TechnologyThe chief(prenominal) difference between the technology in the early civilisations and present day Singapore is that the technology in the early civilisations was non as passing advanced as in Singapore now. Singapore is very frequently highly advanced in technology than in the early civilisations. An example would be many Singaporeans depend a lot on electronics such as their handphones etc. Whereas in the early civilisations such as the Indus Valley civilisation and Shang civilisation, there was no such things as electronics. In fact, there was no electricity at all The next example I am giving is that when making goods such as vases and other objects, we current ly use machines to make them and design them. On the other hand in the early civilisations, all the objects were made by hand and were intricately designed using bones or sharp tilts etc.However, the early civilisations and present day Singapore have something in common with reference to the aspect on technology. The technologies in both the early civilisation and life in Singapore today share the identical things which include making tools, weapons and craft objects etc. Even cooking is present in both of them. In both times, the raft have always tried to make life better for themselves by trying to different methods to complete their jobs efficiently.The next aspect I will compare is the Transportation.Transportation is a very important aspect to compare. Traveling to the early civilisations made me realise that the quite a little there used superficial transportation (only small boats) for trading purposes. Other than that, they seldom used transport. In Singapore, transport is used widely. For example, we take buses, cars to work or attend school.Firstly, I have noticed a similarity when I travelled to different early civilisations such as the Shang civilisation. The similarity is that in both the early civilisation life and life in Singapore today, people transport by land and water. Even though, the time gap has a big difference, we both share the same type of transportations. This shows that over time, the type of transportation whitethorn have had modifications but the main idea of traveling by land or water did not change.Next, I shall point out a difference in the transportation between present day Singapore and early civilisations. The main difference is the modernisation of the transports available in both times. Currently now, we have many different kinds of transportations to choose from. We can take the MRTs, buses, ferries or cars for short or long distances. For much further distances, we can take aeroplanes or ships. However, during the early civilisation life, the types of transport were less and much less modernized. You will probably ask what they are, then. Well, they differ a lot. In the early civilisations, transportation modes only consisted of small boats and perhaps carts driven by larger animals such as bulls or cows.What I applaudd close the people of the early civilisationsI admired the people of the early civilisations for their ability to be open minded to new ideas and the ability of thinking of ideas to improve their lives. They frequently tried to improve their lives by using their limited technology to allow themselves to complete task with more efficiency. They had determination to complete and overcome everything, every blockage faced. They always knew and wanted to improve in the way the live, their lifestyle. For example, in the Shang civilisation, the people introduced leisure activities to their lifestyle. They created board games such as chess using stone. I admire them for being resour ceful too. The people were able to develop some sort of technology by being able to use harder materials such as stone and metal to create objects so that they were more durable.They could make inscriptions and inscribe or carve on hard objects. This showed that they planned whatever they were going to do ahead attempting to do this. This is a good skill-planning before embarking on doing. I think I would like to adopt this ability/skill to prevent rash decisions which may result in several mistakes. Planning goes a long way. A quote I heard several times is If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Therefore, the people of the early civilisation were successful as they had steadfast determination and well planning. An example of well planning would be the Indus Valley civilisation. In Mohenjo-daro, a main city of the Indus Valley Civilisation, it was a very well planned city with many public buildings and the worlds first complex underground drainage system was there.The people of th e early civilisation put in their best even if it seemed unlikely that they would succeed.In conclusion, I admire the early civilisation people for being refractory and persevering in doing whatever they do, overcoming obstacles, finding solutions to their problems such as solving the irrigation flood problem etc.
