Egypt, a transcontinental country that spans the north east corner of Africa and the southwest corner of Asia, houses the historic flooding Nile and the ancient man made Great Pyramids. The Nile is the only significant source of water in the dessert region and without it early civilizations would not have been able to develop and thrive like the Egyptian society has done throughout time. The Egyptian society origins can be traced back to the 10th millennium BC, with a culture of hunter and gatherers evolving into a grain-grinding society. With a change in climate and overgrazing, the Sahara desert began to form, thus early societies migrated to the banks of the Nile around 8000 BC. This migration contributed to the development of economic, political, and religious structure among the earliest of Egyptian societies.

Some key points of this paper are going to be about the development of civilization, geography, social structure, Hierarchy, and where the Ancient Egyptian civilization began.

As a child, I moved from Egypt. My race was different than other kids in school, I was a minority. I experienced a whole new culture as a child. Dealing with other students that had different culture bases affected the way I think about race. Moving from Egypt built an idea of race, the idea of everyone being treated equally. This idea was built only on my experience which was serverilly wrong. After engaging in a classroom that studies American History as the main topic, my perspective of race has changed. Human race is an enormous section of the American culture that may lead to many misunderstanding. A reason I believe that race is heavily studied during this course is it’s plain importance. The American culture has fought for many years

Such stakeholders are comprised from both the private and public sectors. Urban poverty is primarily shaped by an increased population of the poor and the undocumented employees. Such persons are limited from attaining meaningful employments bargains due to their desperate financial positions. The position limits their ability to secure convenient banking tariffs, thus affecting their savings capacity, as well as ability to take loans.

We can learn a lot from the mythological systems the Egyptians developed. Countless traits and traditions practiced today evolved from an Egyptian culture. Ancient Egypt's existence relied on agriculture and most of the population had to farm for survival. Vegetables, wheat and fruits were the primary harvests but some agriculturalists furthermore had a pastoral farming of goats, sheep and cattle. Just as the Western Culture, the Egyptians also treated the men and woman uniformly. Women played a huge role in the judicial, economic and diplomatic roles such as men. This mythological system clearly reflects the Egyptian's social system, where Goddesses also played an equal if not dominant role as well. Western civilization replicated techniques

Egypt’s January 25th uprising provides a classic example. Long hailed as a model for its implementation of economic neoliberal policies by many institutions such as the International Monetary Fund (IMF), it may seem ironic that Egypt’s economic conditions were such a catalyst for the uprising.
