your selected society is in its golden age (at least five pieces of evidence):

○ politics and government
○ social developments and/or humanitarian efforts
Evidence can include, but is not limited to, images, sound files, and text excerpts. Make sure to use
at least three different sources and use MLA format to cite each source.
Write a 4–6 paragraph essay that explains why you think the society is in its "golden age."
