Chapter
11 Pastoral Peoples on the Global stage
Pastoral societies are very interesting
and comparing them to other civilizations, there are distinctions between them.
The people live in small and dispersed encampments of kinfolk and organize themselves
in kinship-based groups. Pastoral societies are more mobile, egalitarian,
hierarchy, and less civilized, urban, and agricultural. Unlike other societies, what astonished me was
that women had empowerment. They were
offered more opportunities, and men were not superior to them. The Mongol
empire arised, and it was the largest land-based empire. Additionally, the Mongols’ armies were
ruthless people who executed those who disobeyed them. Even
though they conquered territory, relearning their conquest today, made them a
true dictatorship and murderers. I find it truthful, that
they were terrorists than historians. Historic documentation showed
that the Mongolians expanded their territory through the use of violence to
revolutionize their world. The Mongols past history was a reminder that we must
not repeat their history as an approach to show power. Violence never prevails.
Obtaining territory through brutality does not signify honor.
In opposition, I do not concur that they were successful individuals
because they lack the honor and respect of true historians who used violent
methods to obtain their power. They brutally killed all who stood
in their way. Furthermore, the Mongolians tortured people, and they were
terrorists. They continued through history as smart people using
their violence to manipulate the weak. Without a doubt in my opinion,
they wanted to slaughter and destroy the innocent individuals. Furthermore,
I believe that historians today realize that this method of conquest only leads
to more violence. Nevertheless, history does not need to repeat historians’
actions, but today, we must admit our mistakes and correct them. Equally
important, war does not bring peace but significantly war consumes peace.
