Part II:  Short Answer  Answer each short answer question in a complete paragraph using specific lecture information.  BE SPECIFIC in your answer—use as many names, dates, places, and specific examples as you can remember.  Lectures 14, 15, 16, 20, 21, and 22 all point to connections between different cultures, kingdoms, peoples, languages, or communities leading to lasting change.

Part I:  Reading IDs:  For each quote, write a complete paragraph (no bullet points!) in which you Identify the author, title, approximate date, and approximate location of the reading.  Then describe what the reading is about and why it is important for the history of World Civilization.  This last must use the phrase “This is important for the history of World Civilization because . . .” Quote 2: “Observe, Glaucon, that there will be no injustice in compelling our philosophers to have a care and providence of others; . . . When you have acquired the habit, you will see ten thousand times better than the inhabitants of the cave, and you will know what the several images are, and what they represent, because you have seen the beautiful and just and good in their truth. And thus our State which is also yours will be a reality, and not a dream only, and will be administered in a spirit unlike that of other States, in which men fight with one another about shadows only and are distracted in the struggle for power, which in their eyes is a great good. Whereas the truth is that the State in which the rulers are most reluctant to govern is always the best and most quietly governed, and the State in which they are most eager, the worst.”
