Empire, in my opinion, is a pretty accurately titled chapter in the textbook.

Chapter 3 covers
the beginnings of imperial Rome, its dual sense of origin, competing schools of thought in early
Chinese culture (being Daoism, Confucianism, and Legalism), and Hinduisms and Buddhisms
shaping of early Indian culture. Typically, we dont see a fusion of three such cultures in the day-
to-day, which makes this chapter all that much more interesting (it also made it that much more
difficult to create an effective Cultural Creation). Here we see Romes continued sense of
extravagance coming in the form of sculptures, as well as public works, all filled with grandeur.
To the East, Chinese culture flourishes among several dynasties with differing philosophies, and
Hinduism and Buddhism surface in early Indian culture. Across the board, artistic expression
increases in sophistication and moves further away from strictly being comprised of stone
sculptures. In my Cultural Creation, I attempt to unite all three empires with a word: harmony,
as all three of them find some way to balance political, social, and religious/spiritual life in their
early beginnings. (Again, the only revisions that were made here were on my essay, as my
Cultural Creation itself exceeded expectations.)
