The world that is known today is nothing like its former self. Never the less, everything had to start somehow. 500AD was a time of decline, separation, and the time for conquerors to emerge. Empires fell, religions grew, and science advanced. In the fifth century, religion, culture, politics, economics, education, society, and technology were all intertwined. Each one effects each other with conflicts or growth. Buddhism, Confucianism, Hinduism, Zoroastrianism, and Christianity are the main religions of the world. Christianity was accepted by the Roman empire, and became the main religion there. The Romans followed the beliefs of Catholicism. However, when the Germans attacked, they took over the west side of the Roman Empire. The …show more content…
The artifacts were made of stone, jade, and other ceramic materials. Jade was an expensive material that was valued by the Mayans. They would make jewelry out of it, and only the elite would wear it. The green would also symbolize nature. This trend of making things from nature carried to North America, Mesoamerica, and South America. A large portion of jewelry found in Constantinople was either silver or gold. Scenes of Jesus death, or a image of the cross were expertly crafted on the material. In Asia, the art ranged from gold to wood. They would catch an image of nature into clay, or make an image of a Buddha out bronze and pieces of mold cast. The Germanic kingdom also had images of a cross from gold, and marble statues as well. All the nations had their art represent what they believe, and for what they stand for in their country (Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History). Society is and ranking were and still are all over the world. Some examples of these ranking system are The Western Roman Empire, The Persians, and even the Mayans. The Romans had Hierarchies, and different ranks of people. The four groups include ancestors, census rank, attainment of honor, and citizen ship. That fundamentally says that a person can be born into a rank, or earn their way up and or becoming a citizen. The Persians differed from this. To have an excellent society, they thought a monarchy would be the correct choice.
Over the course of human history, humans and our ancestors have made tremendous strides. From Homo habilis making the first stone tools to the Egyptians building The Pyramids of Giza, human history is nothing short of intriguing. If it wouldn’t have been for each stride made by our ancestors we probably wouldn’t live in the world that we live in today. When the Neolithic Era began in 9600 BCE, human civilizations gradually started to spring up all over the world. Humans set up civilizations from Mesopotamia in the Middle East, to China in East Asia, and all the way to Caral-Supe in South America. Although these ancient civilizations were separated by thousands of miles, they all share common patterns and
Christianity and the Roman Empire shared an important bond. Christianity offered the Roman Empire joy, hope, a shift in their world view, and a monotheistic God. Rome offered Christianity a more efficient way of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Every society is based on different religion. Different people follow different types of religion according to their birth or by choice. The major religions of the world are Hinduism, Islam, Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism, and Judaism. Each religion is similar and different from one another in terms of festivals, practices and beliefs. Apart from Christianity, Hinduism and Islam are the two most widely practiced religions in the world today. They have their own traditions, beliefs and practices. These two religions are similar to some extent and differ in terms of the God they worship, religious text and the place where they offer their prayers.
Christianity is one of the most dominant religions in the world today and has a long and complex history. Although Christianity has its roots in Judaism, it was greatly influenced by the culture of the Greeks and Romans it developed in. The Greco-Roman world was polytheistic and full of deities that were petty and faulted. As a young religion Christianity shares aspects with the religions around it, namely in the central stories. Eventually Christianity spread through the Roman Empire and to the rest of the world.

The decline of the classical empires contributed several ingredients to the spread of what turned out to be two great world religions – Christianity and Buddhism. Before this, most religions had been regional. The fading of the great empires – due to the reshuffling of geographical boundaries, from the Mediterranean to the Pacific – caused the regional confinement of religion to be modified dramatically. There was also a political decline that encouraged people to turn towards spiritual organizations.
From being a persecuted religion, Christianity rose up to be an official religion of Rome with the support of the Emperor Constantine and Theodosius I in the fourth century. By the early Middle Ages, the Church had become extremely powerful and was one of the two dominant forces that controlled the entire Europe, with the other being the State. Although the popes and the kings were ought to be supportive of each other, there usually existed between them a constant struggle for ultimate authority over the kingdoms. More than often, these conflicts created tension between the State and the Church eventually resulted in the people's sufferings.
There are many different religions within the world. From Judaism, to Hinduism, to even what the Egyptians believed. The greatest one to study though is definitely the Roman religion. From minotaurs to hydras to even the Gods. The Roman religion has so many interesting stories, such as how their nation came to be through Romulus and and Remus. There are many stories about sword fights and God’s intervening into their society. The Romans had many early beliefs such as being an Animistic society, meaning that they believed that spirits dwelled among the world that helped with their farming and harvesting, to the God’s, who they believed controlled their everyday life, but the fall of this fantastic religion was when Judaism and Christianity
In the middle ages, Christianity was at the heart of politics and thus acceptance of the Christian faith was indeed a political matter in many respects. For many political leaders in the early period, acceptance of the Christian faith was used as a means to shape political image, as was clearly shown most famously by Clovis I. Further, acceptance of Christianity was also political in that it created ties with Rome which helped set the precedent of an incredibly influential papacy throughout the medieval period. It also notable that the conversion of ‘barbarian nations’ such as Denmark, signified cultural development and advancement for many people in Europe at the time and helped form the early form of a unified Europe by the early Middle Ages.
During the Medieval ages the religion known as christianity was expanded throughout multiple empires. Some of the most important places in the areas would be Rome, and constantinople. The mass conversion began with the fall of the empire of rome. And it consisted of different people and places and changes to the religion itself to make due for the new people involved in the religion. Christianity changed people and places in the name of the conversion.
Thesis: The two main causes that led to the spread of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire were Constantine’s conversion and the morals of Christianity.
Judaism, rose from obscurity to become the dominant religion of Western culture. Christianity also became the dominant faith of Rome at the end of fourth century A.D.
The single most important aspect of European empires, beginning just prior to the fall of Rome, is the spread of Christianity to all areas of the continent in as little as a few hundred years. Many theologians state that Christianities spread is the indirect influence of God and the adoration of people to one true faith. Though it is true that Christianity has brought about people that even atheists could call saints, it is unquestionable that Christianity was so monumental because it united larger groups of people and its spread is contributed to adherence to local customs and its lack of new ideas in comparison to other religions of the day.
One prime element in different cultures that was influenced by Western countries is religion. Religion is defined as the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power that could be one’s own personal God, Gods, or even Goddesses. The most popular and followed religion in the world is Christianity. Christianity is also widely known and accepted as a European/ Westernized religion though the origin of Christianity began in what is today the Middle East, and Asia. In fact, Jesus of Nazareth was a Jew; that is, He belonged to an Asian tribe closely related to the Syrians and
