Chapter 7

Chapter seven is about the commerce and culture from 500-1500's. In other words, this chapter is all about the different ways that people got around to places. It talks about their trading routes like the Silk Road, Sea Road, and Sand Roads. Depending on where you lived, each road is used very much. The book talks about all the things that go on along these road like the diseases and the certain kinds of goods that would be taken. I think that its very cool how the silk road played a big role in the dispersion of cultures. Its cool that people could travel along the silk road and preach, tell, or share their cultures with other people. Personally, I like to learn about other cultures and practices that are different than mine. It gives me a different outlook on life. As I read on in this chapter, it started to talk about all the different trades and things that each region went through. By looking at the maps, I believe that the best road to take the the Sea road. I think this because there is more water than land. Because of this, there is more places that the Sea Road can reach to and it can deliver more goods.
