Chapter 7
As agriculture and civilizations grew, exchange of cultures within societies all around the world spread. Roads had a great impact on the on concept of diversity. Silk roads in Eurasia, Sea roads in the Eastern Hemisphere, and Sand roads in West Africa all played some sort of role. They created a route for transportation for trade. People traded goods and necessities for their own well being. With trade, cultures were exchanged as well. People picked up different traditions or items that represented culture and brought it back to their homelands. This arose the concept of diversity. There were many benefits to the roads, but it also affected people negatively. People would catch diseases along their journey and give it to whoever they met up with. Roads were beneficial as well as infectious.
