SECTION 1
The scorching hot, blistery climate of the desert is
strenuous to thrive and live in successfully. The pellu-
cid skies are crystal blue, sometimes speckled with lit-
tle white puffs of clouds. Sand encircles almost every-
thing, leaving the entire area with colossal sand dunes
that do not allow people to see beyond the community.
The sizzling, light brown sand boils the citizens feet as
they walk to reach the prolonged river for icy water. In-
side the cold, pure blue water there is another life, a
sh life. The vulnerable sh have to be careful though,
because there are ferocious, green-scaled crocodiles
that could eat four harmless sh in one bite. These

glossy sh love to jump and frolic out of the water.
Sometimes jumping vigorously high, they caper as tall
as the pulpy grasses on the verge of the waterway. The
smells of the crisp dates hover throughout the area. The
deliciously sweet fresh fruits grow on the towering
palm trees. These Areca palms are bestrewed all along
the extended river. At night, the temperature can drop
below freezing, and people can see themselves breath-
ing. Throughout the night when the citizens are asleep,
they can hear the loud bullfrogs as they continuously
croak along the riverbank. Sometimes these sounds
wake the citizens and sometimes help them sleep.
It is in the favorable geographic environment that the
civilization of Carlyoliollias will be founded. It is a civili-
zation whose design takes its inspiration from the study
of past civilizations such as the Arabs, the Aztecs, the
Greeks, the Mayans, the Mesopotamians, and the Ro-
mans, among others. This book will document the nec-
essary steps to take in order to create a successful civili-
zation.

Modifications
SECTION 1
Part I - Analysis of the Problem
The rst step in building a successful civilization is to
secure basic human needs such as food and water. Due
to its geography, the major challenges the civilization
of Carlyoliollias faces in achieving a basic food and wa-
ter supply include the following.
1. The desert is an extremely harsh place to create a suc-
cessful civilization, owning up to the fact that there are
blinding windstorms that would demolish the crops. If
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Human Changes to the Land

all of the crops perished, there will be no food to eat.
With barely any food left, some of the camels would eat
what there is remaining and then the civilization will
not have any food enduring. If all of the civilizations
food resources died, then the people of Carlyoliollias
would have no food prevailing and the civilization
would be lifeless.
2. Since the desert is exceedingly dry, it is hard to create
a successful civilization. This process is excruciatingly
challenging because with the heat and how parched the
desert is, all of the water could evaporate during a
drought, which could last for years. With no water, peo-
ple would have to wait for annual rainfall and collect as
much water as possible. Yet, after a while, the citizens
would run out of water because there is nothing they
could do to collect more because of the desiccated and
barren climate. With no water, the civilization would be
lost.
Part II - Proposed Solutions
To make sure that a civilization thrives; it has to be able
to alter its environment so that it can develop a stable
food supply. An environ-
mental modication is when
someone or something
changes the area around them-
selves to t their needs. For ex-
ample, using the slash and
burn technique to clear land to
make land for shelter and
5

fast.

Slash and Burn: relat-
ing to, or denoting a
method of agriculture in
which existing vegeta-
tion is cut down and
burned off before new
seeds are sown, typically
used as a method for
clearing forest land for
farming.
crops is an example of a modication. If a civilization
does not make changes to the area and environment,
then they will not be suitable for them to live there, and
will not thrive as a civilization.
Since the civilization of Carlyoliollias is located in a de-
sert, there is little protection available to maintain crops
from being destroyed by devastating windstorms. To
x this problem, Carlyoliollias citizens would build
dikes that could block wind to save the crops. The envi-
ronmental modications made by the people of Carlyo-
liollias in order to protect the crops from ruining are
similar to the environmental modications made by the
Aztecs. Since their ancient city was near a lake, the Az-
tecs had ooding problems that could destroy the city.
To solve this problem, the Aztecs created A dike 10
miles long that ran along the east side of the city to hold
back oodwaters (Frey 275). While the Aztecs built
dikes to stop oods, the Carlyoliollians would construct
a dike to block wind. Therefore, the powerful air cur-
rents would not destroy the crops and disrupt the stable
food supply.
Since the civilization of Carlyoliollias is located in a de-
sert, the air is exceptionally moistureless and is hard to
keep the water from vaporizing. To x this problem, the
Carlyoliollas citizens would build aqueducts that will
start from the Nile Rivers origin. Therefore, if the wa-
ter from the Nile ever volatilizes, there would be water
coming from another source. In order to prevent water
shortage, the environmental changes needed to be
made by the people of Carlyoliollias are similar to the
6
A dike would block wind to prevent the crops from demolishing.

pg
environmental modications made by the Aztecs. Since
the water pipes are open, leaves and bugs could get
into the pipes. To solve this problem, the Aztecs made
two pipes so that While one pipe was being repaired,
the other could transport water (Frey 275). The Aztecs
built aqueducts to feed the crops. The people of Carlyo-
liollias would assemble aqueducts that will bring water
to the civilization in case the river dries up so that the
water supply would never expire.
While one pipe was being repaired the other pipe could transport water.

Law and Government
SECTION 1
Lesson #1: Laws Determined
One of the various lessons that could be learned from
Athens, is making sure that the citizens of the civiliza-
tion admires the laws that are produced by the Athe-
nian government. Athens had a democracy; only men
over 18 who live and were
born in Athens could be a
part of the Athenian assem-
bly. If all citizens had the
write to speak at assemblies
then the government would have different opinions

Assembly- a group of
people gathered to-
gether in one place for a
common purpose.
Source: Oxford Diction-
ary
where with these opinions other citizens could under-
stand why it is a good or bad law. As stated by Frey,
Every citizen had the right to speak at assembly meet-
ings (261). This is a good lesson to keep for the civiliza-
tion because if you allow everyone to speak at an assem-
bly then
there would
be no laws
that cause re-
bellion. If the
government
of Carlyoliol-
lias makes
laws that af-
fect people
in a bad way,
the people
could rebel
and over-
power the
government. In order to prevent unfortunate events like
rebellion, the government of Carlyoliollias could hold
assemblys where the citizens are free to speak on their
behalf to say if they agree with the law or not. Once the
government publishes the law, after about a month the
city would hold a meeting where the citizens would
talk about how the law affects them in a good or a bad
way.Learning from Athens, the civilization of Carlyoliol-
lias should let the people have the right to speak on
their behalf to talk about their opinion saying if they
agree the law or disagree with the law.
Lesson #2: Political Equality
The following lesson the people of Carlyoliollias could
take from Athens would be to have political equality.
In Athens, women could not inherit or own much prop-
erty. They could not even vote at the assembly but
worse than that, they were not even allowed to attend
the assembly. As stated by Frey, only men were con-
sidered citizens in Athens. Women and slaves were not.
As a result, they had far fewer rights than free man
did (264). The government of Carlyoliollias should al-
low women and slaves to be a part of the government
because women and slaves should have the same rights
as men. Over all, there are more women and slaves than
the total amount of men in the Greek city-states. This is
important because if women and slaves did not have
the same political rights, learning from past events in

history, the women and slaves could rebel against the
government and overpower. The civilization of Carlyo-
liollias will take the lesson of political equality and al-
low women to be a citizen, a part of the assembly and
have a part in the government.
Lesson #3: Laws Written Down
The people of Carlyoliollias should learn form Rome
would be not writing down the laws have some bad ef-
fects. In Rome, the patricians were the wealthier citi-
zens of the civilization. Because they had more power
than the plebeians they felt that it was right to change
the law to help themselves.
The mistake made by the
Romans would be that be-
cause the laws were not
written down, patricians of-
ten changed or interpreted
the laws to benet them-
selves (Frey 319). The people of Carlyoliollias would
learn from this by writing the laws down for the public
to view. The civilization of Carlyoliollias would do this
because the people of the government or upper class
citizens would not be able to
interpret the laws just be-
cause they want to. This is im-
portant to do because if the
laws were written down on
stone tablets like the Twelve Tables the upper class citi-
zens would not be able to change or interpret the laws
to suit themselves. Making a big mistake like Rome
did, is not an option for the civilization of Carlyoliollias
that is why the civilization should write down the laws
so that people could not change them.

By having laws written down on signs higher class citizens
will not be able to interpret them.

Code of Laws
The civilization of Carlyoliollias has major complica-
tions of equality and treating everyone as an individual.
The one challenge that Carlyoliollias faces the most is
equality. Because of this, there is always a risk of a dis-
pute about how people are different, and how that is
bad or good. Laws help with these things; it regulates
peoples lives, even sometimes their behavior. For exam-
ple one of the laws for Hammurabis Code was, If a
man knock out the teeth of his equal, his teeth shall be
knocked out. This is and example of an important law
because when one person is treated one way, the others
should be treated as equals. In all, people different, or
the same should all be treated alike, after all, together
we are all human beings alive and free. Having major
laws in Carlyoliollias is extremely important. Laws are
needed because they are like instructions that the peo-
ple should follow in order for the civilization to thrive.
Laws would keep the civilization running. Without
laws, there would be chaos and conicts. As time goes
by some of the laws might change. The laws would
only change if ALL citizens agree to change them.
It is written that all people shall follow these laws:
I. If you mistreat a slave 3 times or more you have to let
them free and pay them 15 Carls.
II. If a parent strikes their child, they shall be taken
away from the child and may never see that child
again. The parent would be sent to prison for 12 years.
12
Having laws like these help keep the civilization safe and helps
maintain order.
III. All citizens must have evidence to show that they
are a real citizen (born in Carlyoliollias).
IV. If one person murders another, the murderer shall
serve life terms or may be executed.
V. If one person steals from another person, the stealer
has to return the items, and the person who was stolen
from is allowed to enter the thief house and take three
items. The thief shall be prisoned for 3 years.
The laws that were written above would help make
Carlyoliollias a successful civilization by making sure
all citizens look at everyone as an individual. For exam-
ple, one of carlyoliolliass laws is If one person steals
from another person, the stealer has to return the items,
and the person who was stolen from is allowed to enter
the thief house and take three items. The thief shall be
prisoned for 3 years. This is an important law to really
understand and analyze because a thief is a different
person than others. They are different in there own way,
maybe they had a rough childhood, or maybe they
were bullied because they were different. This could be
a reason why they committed the crime. Maybe if peo-
ple look at them the same as others they would not
have committed the
crime. Everywhere in
Carlyoliollias there
are different people,
people think that
these people are not
like them and that
they are strange be-
cause they do not
look like that person.
Another example of a
helpful law is one
that Hammurabi cre-
ated, If a man strike
a free-born woman
so that she lose her
unborn child, he shall
pay ten shekels for
her loss. This is an
important law be-
cause this is treating
someone as an equal
as well as and individual. Laws will change the way
people look at each other. If all people follow these
13
Hammurabi's code contained many laws that
helped run the civilization at that time and
kept it from chaos.

4E/s1600/SteleOfHammurabi.jpg
laws, all citizens shall accept everyone as an individual.
Laws will also enhance order between the citizens.
Laws would only not be necessary if all people fol-
lowed laws. Without laws, there would be competition
for survival between the strongest men and women.
Laws are extremely nec-
essary in order to main-
tain a successful civili-
zation.
Political Leadership:
Julius Caesar
In order to create a suc-
cessful civilization a
leader must make each
citizen happy and earn
his or her trust. Julius
Caesar made many
great successful deci-
sions to create a suc-
cessful civilization.
One of the great deci-
sions that he made is
that he gave work to
many Romans who
had lost their jobs
due to the growing
amount of slave
numbers. Julius Cae-
sar did this because
with all of the in-
coming prisoners
who Caesar turned
into slaves Roman
farmers and labor-
ers had no jobs. To
solve this he gave
jobs to them to
work on roads,
building and other
government related
construction. For ex-
ample With so many slaves to do the work, thousands
of farmers and laborers had no jobs (Frey 330). This is
an effect of Julius bringing over all of these other peo-
ple. With all these other people, Romans lost their jobs.
This is a huge problem that Caesar created by bringing
over prisoners. To stop all of the poor and prisoners
14
Caesar made great choices that solve
many of Romes problems.

man%2Bscenes.jpg
Caesar built types of entertainment to occupy their inter-
ests in working. In the end of Caesars life the senate
murdered him by stabbing him 23 times. This could
have been an effect from Caesar taking all the power
and xing all of the problems of the civilization that the
senate was supposed to solve before he replaced them.
It is ne to bring over prisoners from land Carlyoliollias
conquered, but replacing the Romans with these people
is not ne, that is why Carlyoliollias should have enter-
tainment to keep people engaged and not be interested
to work.
The main lesson that Carlyoliollias will take from Julius
is that its ok to bring prisoners from lands that have
been conquered, but it is not ok to replace these new
people with the old people by taking away their jobs.
To prevent events such as this Carlyoliollias will have
free events for slaves like a rodeo for entertainment, just
as Caesar did. This would help because it would take
away the interest of working for the lower class-men
and will transfer that interest to doing something that
they truly enjoy. For example, To keep the poor happy,
he staged gladiator contests they could watch for free.
(Julius Caesars Rule as Dictator). This illustrates that
Julius Caesar was trying to keep the poor and slaves to
gain interest of working and replacing the Romans with
their jobs. If the poor replaced the Romans with them-
selves, the Romans could have the ability to rebel be-
cause they no longer have jobs to earn money for a liv-
ing. The civilization of Carlyoliollias will stage contests
15
Gladiator contests would be held for entertainment but all they did
was encourage ghting on the streets that made the civilization
more dangerous.

or shows that keep interests of working away from the
poor or slaves.
Augusts Caesar
After Caesars death Augustus took the power and
made some major improvements on the city. During
Augustuss rule he made libraries and supported the
arts. Because he did this people could now have an edu-
cation and would be able to learn about not only their
civilization but also other civilizations and their ways
of living. He built Romes rst library and he also en-
couraged many of his wealthy friends to provide nan-
cial support to writers and artists. (Political Leader-
ship of Caesar Augustus). This shows that Augustus
cared about not just the education of his citizens he also
cared about how his civilization looked. He encourages
music and other types of arts. Augustus encouraged
many different types of art and writing, but while do-
ing this he made major improvements by beautifying
the civilization.
Augustus not only made improvements on the city he
also made some problems come up. One of the prob-
lems that he created is that he gave special laws to un-
married adults and childless couples lost their right to
inherit property and money. This is a major problem be-
cause what Augustus didn't realize is that maybe adults
didn't want to have children and get married, but be-
cause of Augustus adults were pressured to have chil-
dren and get married. After they had their children that
16
To show how much the city loved Augustus they built an arch
called the Arch of Augustus 27 B.C..
http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_4rt8ZNTPE3M/S_7Bkv3B1YI/AAA
AAAAAJJY/iQuF06TMvSM/s1600/ZIMG_B247.JPG
they did not want they may not treat them right. For ex-
ample, The state offered rewards-such as political privi-
leges and tax relief-to couples who stayed together and
had many children, while unmarried adults and child-
less couples lost their right to inherit
money and property. (Political Leader-
ship of Caesar Augustus). This shows
that the government penalized adults
who were unmarried and childless.
This is not fair because if someone has a
child they don't like they they may hurt
them or not give them the life they de-
serve because they don't want them.
This shows that having child and mar-
riage laws are not ok to have and can
cause major problems for the civiliza-
tion.
Learning from Augustus, the civiliza-
tion of Carlyoliollias will encourage the
arts and education and will also not pass laws that may
interfere with peoples personal lives. The civilization of
Carlyoliollias will encourage the arts and education by
adding a library to the city. This will help because when
a citizen is in the mood to learn something new or how
to do something all they would have to do is walk a lit-
tle bit to the closest library and nd the book that they
were looking for. This would help because instead of
having to go to a trade fair they could just walk and the
book would not cost anything. Carlyoliollias will also
encourage education by creating schools for children.
We will nd teachers by giving tests to the citizens that
would like to teach. The top 10 people with the highest
17

score will be teachers. Carlyoliollias will encourage the
arts by creating programs like a band or creating an art
studio. Doing this might let the people do what they
love like painting or drawing. This is not only letting
the citizens do what they love but it also beauties the
city. Encouraging things such as the arts and education
can help the civilization gain knowledge which could
lead them to greater ideas about how to advance the
civilization.
Decline of the Western Roman Empire
One of the main reasons why the Roman Empire de-
clined was because of the decline in morals and values.
There was a decline in morals and values because of the
gladiator ghts
in Rome. When
the citizens of
Rome watched
these gruesome
ghts the get
the idea that its
ne to ght peo-
ple to their
death. These
ghts are sup-
posed to be en-
tertainment for
people. People
see everyone
having a good time and smiling so they think that peo-
ple enjoy it when people murder each other. For exam-
ple, Should the ground become too soaked with
blood, it was covered over a fresh layer of sand and the
Having Roman gladiator contests made the
citizens think that because everyone was hav-
ing fun if was a good idea to start ghting each
other.
18
The decline of morals and values was why the Roman Empire fell.
http://www.moonbattery.com/visigoths_in_rome.jpg
performance went on (Decline of the Western Roman
Empire). This quote deeply illustrates that while people
fought it was extremely gruesome. Because people en-
joyed these ghts, they brought the ghts home with
them. They used this ghting on the streets. This made
the streets exceedingly danger-
ous. Because the streets were so
dangerous people were fright-
ened to walk at night and some-
times during the day. This ght-
ing led to a decline because with
all of the violence outside of the
Roman coliseum people were kill-
ing each other even killing the
emperors just because they
thought it was entertainment.
Another one of the reasons of the
decline of the Roman Empire was
because of the extensive military
spending. Having a military is
good protection for the city but is
also exceedingly expensive. Be-
cause it was so expensive to have, the civilization had
to cut down on spending money on the city for improve-
ment. The city could have used the money for building
public houses or for aqueducts or for maintaining the
roads. For example, The emperors were forced to raise
taxes frequently which in turn led again to increase in-
ation(Decline of the Western Ro-
man Empire).This shows that be-
cause the military was so expensive
the soldiers and citizens got higher
taxes to pay for the military. Because
the taxes were higher, people became
frustrated that they were not using
the money towards the civilization,
they got so frustrated that most of
them lost their desire to defend their
civilization. Having a military is a
great way to defend the civilization
but to raise taxes for people to pay is
one of the main reasons why the
Western Rome declined.
The civilization of Carlyoliollias will
take steps to prevent a decline in the
civilization by not encouraging ght, and to make sure
The Roman Military was a great defense but
had great problems that come with it. It was ex-
tremely expansive to have so the citizens of
Rome had ot pay special taxes that really aggra-
vated them.

not raise taxes for the military but have the same taxes
throughout the entire year. The civilization will do this
so that the people will become used to the amount and
not get frus-
trated with
uprising
taxes that
are being
used to-

military. In
summary,
the civiliza-
tion of Carly-
oliollias will
prevent oc-
currences
like a de-
cline in the
civilization
by having a
plan to fol-

Belief Systems
SECTION 1
Introduction:
The teachings within a belief system play a gigantic
role in a civilization. The teachings can affect the way
people think, their character, and their behaviors. With-
out a belief system, people would make decisions with-
out considering right from wrong. Ultimately, people
are going to make immoral decisions, but by having a
belief system people will learn how to make good
choices and promote noble actions. Confucianism,
Buddhism, and Hinduism, are all belief systems that
Impact of Belief Systems
22
teach the morals of trust. Having a belief system is im-
portant because it encourages respect and trust.
To better understand the role of belief systems within a
civilization and how they can inuence the actions and
decisions of people, consider the following moral di-
lemma:
A Callous Passerby
Roger Smith, a skillful swimmer, is out for a leisurely
stroll. During the course of his walk he passes by a de-
serted pier from which a teenage boy who apparently
cannot swim has fallen into the water. The boy is
screaming desperately for help. Smith recognizes that
there is absolutely no danger to himself if he jumps in
to save the boy; he could easily succeed if he tried. Nev-
ertheless, he chooses to ignore the boy's cries. "Why
should I inconvenience myself for this kid," Smith says
to himself, and passes on.
In a situation such as a Callous Passerby, a Hindu
would save the drowning boy because his action would
demonstrate respect to one another and that the man
could be granted a higher class role in his next life. If a
Hindu
was
caught
in this
situa-
tion,
they
would
go
through
a differ-
ent men-
tal proc-
ess than
other people who might think differently. They would
probably rst think about how their civilization be-
lieves that everyone should care for one another. For ex-
ample, Hindus respect all life forms and avoid doing
them harm(Frey 148). This shows that Hindus are ex-
tremely mindful for everyone and especially for ones
soul. By saving the boy, his action would be showing re-
spect for all life. This shows that respecting all life is a
form of trust. Respecting all life is a form of trust be-
cause the boy would be able to trust this man because
23
All Hindus respect all life and try to avoid causing harm to
them.
http://www.teluguone.com/teluguoneUserFiles/Hindu%20
5.png
he had saved him when
no one else did. In addi-
tion, the Hindu could be
granted a higher class role
in his next life. For exam-
ple, When a person died,
his or her soul was reborn
into a new body. But what type of body would the re-
born soul get? The answer depends on the souls
karma (Frey 149). This shows that if a Hindu saves this
boy he could be rewarded into a better role in his next
life. He could even be reborn into his mentors place. If
the man was rewarded a higher class in his next life, he
could be respected more by the lower class citizens. If
the Hindu were to save the boy, the Hindu would be fol-
lowing their belief systems focus on respect and posi-
tive karma and the boy
would know that he could
trust the man who had
saved him.
In comparison, a Buddhist
caught in this dilemma
would also save the suffer-
ing boy because a rule of the Eightfold path is to live a
life of selessness. If a Buddhist was to just walk away
from this situation and pretend like he did not hear this
boy suffering, he is showing selshness. The drowning
boy needs to trust that a Buddhist would be seless. For
exam-
ple,
Live

of self-

ness
(not
selsh-
ness),
love,
and

Karma is a Belief that Hindus believed in and it showed that if
people promoted good deeds and followed rules they could be
reborn to a higher class.

did. If a Buddhist was to save this boy their would be
deep trust and selessness in the world.
In both Hinduism and Buddhism, belief systems all pro-
vide trust and respect
among citizens and politi-
cal leaders. Promoting
good deeds and good ac-
tions establishes trust
and respect within a civi-
lization. Without trust
there could be reduced
respect for life and prop-
erty. A civilization with-
out trust could become
lost.
Belief system of Carlyo-
liollias
In an effort to create a
successful civilization,
the people of Carlyoliol-
lias have established
their own belief system.
This system shares similar religious beliefs and teach-
ings with other world religions. The belief system of
Carlyoliollias helps citizens respect one another, pro-
mote good actions, not
be greedy, be well edu-
cated, and have trust
within the civilization.
The following tenets
show the core beliefs of
Cameron.
The belief of Cams
means to promote good
actions, not be greedy
and respect one another.
One requirement is hav-
ing the wealthier citi-
zens complete 30 hours
of community service
each year. The commu-
nity service that will be
assigned to the citizens
will include helping con-
struct the civilization,
25
The belief system of Confucianism believes that all people should respect each other
no matter how old or how young animal or human respect is needed for a civiliza-
tion.

picking up trash, shelving books in the
town library and school, and assisting
people in need. Cams relates to the belief
system of Buddhisms Eightfold Path.
The Eightfold Path states, Promote good
actions and prevent evil actions (Frey
159). Having this belief helps people be-
come better people. This helps because
while they are doing the community serv-
ice they see what it is like to be less
wealthy and will help them realize not to
take anything for granted, share and not
be greedy. This will have the people pro-
mote good actions because after they do
the community service they will be will-
ing to share their wealth, clothing and
food with the less fortunate people. Cams
is an important belief because it helps
people realize that they need to respect
the lower class and help a friend in need.
The second tenet in the belief system of Carlyoliollias is
called Axander. Axander means to have trust within a
civilization. One example of showing trust is each year
the civilization will host a fair that will promote trust.
For example, there would be activities such as a trust
fall. The citizens will line up depending on their status
to be paired with others. Through multiple pairings, the
26

shelving book in the local church, library, and schools.
citizens will fall into each others arms. For example, a
soldier and citizen would preform the trust fall. If they
catch each other, they would know that they could trust
each other. As stated by Frey, ruler and subject, hus-
band and wife, father and son, older sibling and
younger sibling, and friend and friend. All people must
respect and obey those above them (208). This illus-
trates that the belief system, Confucianism, believe in
trust between different relationships. Trust is extremely
important because if Carlyoliollias was under attack,
then the citizens would have to trust the army to de-
fend the civilization and the citizens lives. A civilization
without trust is vulnerable to destruction.
The third tenet in the belief system of the people in
Carlyoliollias is known as Dallas. Dallas means to be a
well-educated citizen of Carlyoliollias. Youth would go
to school starting at the age of four ending at the age of
eighteen. The youth would study writing, the history of
Carlyoliollias and mathematics. Once the youth become
citizens at eighteen, they have the option to continue
school until they are twenty-four or abandon school. If
a citizen decided to stay in school, they would have the
option to go to University of Carlyoliollias Santa Cam-
eron (UCSC), or go to other schools in different civiliza-
tions. As stated by Frey, Values such as respect for eld-
ers, proper behavior, and love of scholarship became
deeply woven into Chinese society (209). In the an-
cient Chinese society, education was an important con-
cept for all. Education was important to them because it
helps people know how to do certain jobs and teaches
them important subjects that they could use within the

rest of their lives. This focus on education is the same
for the civilization of Carlyoliollias. With education, citi-
zens will learn how to do certain jobs that aim to im-
prove the civilization.
Role of The Catholic Church and its Belief System in
Medieval Europe
The Roman Catholic Church in medieval Europe grew
in both economic and political power after the collapse
of the Western Roman Empire in 476 C.E. The church
grew economically because they were the ones that
held all records of the town and of people. They held all
records because they were the only people who knew
how to read and write. In addition, the church owned
the most land in the civilization. As stated by Frey,
Some land came in the form of gifts from monarchs
and wealthy lords (33). The church gained great
amounts of land from the king and other wealthy peo-
ple. This shows that in order to gain land from the king
or other powerful monarchs you would have to be a
higher class level on the social pyramid. And the Catho-
lic Church was, the church was so important because
they were the only ones who could grant salvation to
someone. As stated by Frey, This meant Henry was
thrown out of the church and, therefore, could not gain
salvation (33). This shows that the Church had great
political power because they had power to grant and
take away salvation from people. The Church excommu-
nicated Henry IV, which meant that he was kicked out
28
Henry IV sat outside in the freezing cold for three days begging the church to
be let back into the church so he could be granted salvation.

and could not gain salva-
tion. Henry IV sat in the
wind and cold begging the
church to let him back in
because he wanted so
badly not to go to the aw-
ful underworld called hell, he wanted to go to paradise,
heaven. The Roman Catho-
lic Church had great
power over people and
even over the king, him-
self therefore growing in
both economic and politi-
cal power.
The Catholic Church inu-
enced peoples thoughts
and deeds during the mid-
dle ages because people
would want to be granted
salvation. Salvation is
something that a citizen
can be granted by follow-
ing the church teachings.
If a person does not follow the churches teachings they
would probably be excommunicated which mean that
they would not be granted salvation and would be
kicked out of the church. Around 1095, Pope Urban II
gave a speech called the Speech at Council of Clermont
where he stated, All who die by the way, weather by
land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall
have immediate cancellation
of sins. This shows that if a
citizen had promoted bad ac-
tions in his life, and had
fought for Pope Urban II, all
of those actions would be can-
celled and he would be
granted salvation if he died
ghting. In conclusion, the
church determines weather
citizens would be granted sal-
vation, because of this people
would be more careful with
their choices.

Ideas
SECTION 1
Humanist Mindset
A humanist mindset promotes new ideas and
makes for a successful civilization because of social
standing. Humanists were scholars from Europe who
believed in individual dignity and believed each per-
son could achieve greatness. Social standing promoted
new ideas because humanists believed greatly in indi-
vidual achievement, individual achievement promoted
new ideas because in medieval times, people would
judge people by there class and ignore them, but dur-
ing the renaissance the humanists would talk and share

31
ideas with anyone. They believed that indi-
vidual achievement was more important
than what class they were born in to show
who they were as a person. As stated by
Frey, If someone was born a peasant, he or
she would always have less status than a no-
ble. Renaissance thinkers prized individual
achievement more than a persons class or
family. This illustrated that humanists did
not care what class you were in or what
your family was like, they tried to see past
that and see what is more important, indi-
vidual achievement. Instead of someone
who is a higher class excluding a lower class
person. Sharing ideas with one another was
an enormous shift in the way of thinking
during the renaissance and was a key con-
cept for a successful civilization.
Galileos New Ideas
In 1609 a man named Galileo, who contained a human-
ist mindset, and questioned the churchs teachings that
the earth was the center of the universe. He threatened
the churches teachings by questioning whether the
Earth was the center of the universe. That question, led
him to his discoveries. In fact, he discovered that the
Earth was not located in the core of the universe. The
church, however, didnt want Galileos discoveries to
32
New ideas are like chain reactions, new ideas can lead to many great discoveries just like
how Galileo made many of his great discoveries.

spread through
the civilization.
For then, the citi-
zens would be-
lieve the church
was corrupt for
approving a false
fact. As stated by
Frey, Church of-
cials feared that
attacks on the
geocentric theory
could lead people
to doubt the
churchs teach-
ings (393). This
illustrates that
Galileos theory
was a threat to
the church. The
church warned
Galileo to never
teach his theory,
but Galileo did
not listen. He published a book called Dialogue
on the Two Chief World System. This book was
about the differences on the two theorys about
whether the Earth was in the center of the uni-
verse. In the end, Galileo was not permitted to
ever speak of his theory again. However, his
theory began to spread throughout the civiliza-
tion, and the church had no power to stop it
from spreading. Despite all of the negative ad-
versity thrust at him by the Catholic Church
and the Roman Court, Galileos theory of mo-
tion and the Earth persevered, and helped
transgure lots of people to his theory and im-
proved the Scientic Revolution.
Concideration
Humanists in Carlyoliollias may question
beliefs or institutions threatening them, but
Carlyoliollias has a notable way of handling
these ideas and questions. This shows that
when Galileo questioned the Catholic Church
and had new ideas, people looked further into
these ideas and it ended up that they were pre-
cise, after people found out, the church was
33
Galileos new ideas advanced teh scientic revolution by shar-
ing his new ideas.

pg
forced to change their teachings. By questioning and
having new ideas can advance the civilization when
people aren't afraid to be wrong
and not be correct every single sec-
ond. Instead of replaying history
Carlyoliollias will have the gov-
ernment consider the new idea or
question before automatically dis-
agreeing. For example, In Carlyo-
liollias, once young adults reach a
certain age they have an option to
stay in school, to go to collage, or
stop right after high school. A hu-
manist might question this be-
cause Carlyoliollias encourages
education, but in this case kids
aren't being forced to go to school;
they get to have an option
whether to go to college or not.
The civilization may have to con-
sider this new idea and maybe apply this to the civiliza-
tion in order for Carlyoliollias to become more success-
ful. This strategy will make for a successful civilization
because people are going to question and have new
ideas, but before saying no right away, the government
will consider the new idea. This idea or question could
improve the civilization and
make for a successful civilization
Queen Elizabeth I
The civilization of Carlyoliollias,
which greatly encourages the arts
and education, was molded after
the forty-ve year reign of Brit-
ains most beloved Queen Eliza-
beth I, under whos power cul-
ture thrived. As queen, among
other strengths, Elizabeth in-
cluded many highly educated art-
ists, dancers, and writers into the
court. The poets and play-
writer's included, constructed
some of the greatest pieces in history. Through educa-
tion her abilities of forward thinking advanced England
to be one of the strongest and richest countries at that
time. For example, Elizabeth's long reign is often

called England's Golden Age. Culture thrived under
her. She supported theater, fashion, literature, dance,
and education. Poets and playwrights composed some
of the greatest works in the english language. (Frey
341).The success of a civilization comes as a result of
educating the citizens, which then creates strength of
character, an ability to understand the ways of life,
world and other cultures. Forming an new civilization
can be enhanced
by studying those
successful civiliza-
tions of the past.
35
Schools such as UCSC; University of Carlyoliol-
lias Santa Cameron promotes education and is
a place where ideas will spread.
