Prologue period of history saw very different events occurring throughout the world, despite the many similarities across these geographic regions. The reasons for these many differences in human history have to do with development of human kind.
For example, during this general period known as the prologue period, in North America human history was undeveloped, at least when compared to the Europe, Eurasia and Asia. In North American the majority of the continent was still dominated by natural resources and was populated by many different tribes and ethnicities of natives. Further, during this time the first contacts with Westerners began to occur. This created a rapid amount of change to occur within the North American area within a relatively short period of time, especially when compared to the amount of time it took Europe, Eurasia and Asia to develop to this same level. In contrast, much of Asia, Eurasia and Asia were moving towards an industrialized society. All of these three areas had remarkably developed urban centers, a generally connected history and a standard form of government.
These differences between the North American experience and the experiences of Asia, Eurasia and Europe during the prologue period had an important and profound effect on the status of international affairs in 1450. Essentially this difference allowed the more developed regions to explore and develop the North American region. This would eventually lead to the genocide of an entire way of life in North America and the establishment of a new way of life.

Ellis holds that America, at its outset, was plagued by an identity crisis: Americans who asserted an essentially 'Republican' identity and revolted against Britain for certain reasons were at ends with Americans who asserted an essentially 'Federal' identity and revolted against Britain for other reasons. In textbooks these are associated with the persons of Jefferson and Hamilton, two of the first cabinet members. They are also associated with Sam Adams,
Nearing the end of the 1960s, the analytic or language philosophy became the central focus point which led to the isolation of the classroom setting and the problems that came with it (Greene, 2000). Most of the educational philosophers of the time were inclined towards restricting themselves to the official aspects and problems like the sovereignty of the system without any influence from the society and the surrounding environment and

However, because of Gilgamesh's thought that he may be invincible, he is actually putting his friend's life at risk by going on his adventure. In his attempt to prove that he is brave and that he would rather die for a cause, he actually indirectly causes the death of Enkidu, who shows that he was the stronger of the two. 5) Defining Honor Honor is a characteristic that few individuals posses.

This work will briefly discuss Constantine I (27 February 272 --
