    BE4 Exam questions

    Here they are. Study well. Remember to support your answer with specific evidence from the handouts and/or textbook.
    1. (from the unit Emergence of Complex Society in East Asia, 1200 – 200 BCE ) Why have most societies with resources for large-scale building constructed great public tombs for their rulers and other powerful women and men? What social and political purposes have monumental tombs served? Anchor your answer with our study of Shang tombs and any other relevant Big Era 4 examples. [note: It might be helpful for comparison to think about the purposes for which Americans have built large monuments or tombs dedicated to famous leaders such as Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, or Grant? On the other hand, why are most American leaders of the past buried in relatively modest graves rather than ornate tombs? What might the style in which leaders are buried tell us about a society’s values?)
    2. (from the unit An Age of Greek and Persian Power, 600 – 200 BCE) What means did emperors use to organize and control human populations within their empires? How did cultural diversity or lack of cultural diversity help or hinder their rule?
    3. (from the unit Giant Empires of Afroeurasia, 300 BCE – 500 CE) How did the empires of the 300 BCE – 500 CE period contribute to or hinder the spread of Christianity and Buddhism?
