(Bairoch, p14) Economic specialization due to emergence of advanced technologies led to the creation of influential classes of leaders and social stratification. Regional fiscal specialization frequently centered on possessions indigenous to the area in which the group of people was situated. Trade was enhanced among areas having different goods and services so as to provide an equitable and reasonable distribution of products. Social stratification was limited in ancient agricultural communities. Property may have been owned communally by all members of the society which provided cheap labor. The role of women in agricultural sectors had declined and men took over the necessary responsibilities of agriculture and started to control the application of the new tools.

Negligible rainfall and extreme evaporation rendered conventional growing methods impractical and useless. Building on the agricultural innovations of ancient Mesopotamia, those living in the Negev desert region so too developed systems of river and flood management, as well as water conservation, for agricultural use. These ancient farmers faced limited cultivation capabilities as a result of a harsh semi-arid climate, but were able to sustain populations by taking advantage of natural watersheds provided by geologic formations such as hills, mountains, and valleys, as well as intervening

    To begin, the tense relationship between the protagonist, Amir and his father Baba demonstrates the disagreement among child and parent. The role of father-son is a dominant relationship in literature; the father is a very important role model to the child. Every boy needs a figure to influence them; however Baba did not live up to his expectations. The fact that Amir and Baba were opposite from one another signified a weak relationship. Baba had expressed his concern to his best friend, Rahim Khan, who is also known as Amir’s motivator. The representation of social class is used to determine the relationship between Amir and Baba. Baba believes he needed to be an inspiration to his son. Harsh words like, “If I hadn’t seen the doctor pull him out of my wife with my own eyes, I’d never believe he’s my son. (25)” can help define their beliefs. A child tries to build their parents trust by committing and altering behaviours that done feel true just to persuade a parent. Stereotypes such as: men should never be emotional, men always need to have interest in sports; portraits that Baba cares more about his class then his own son. Due to jealousy of the relationship between Hassan, whom had been introduced as a servant then later on revealed to be...
