Week #3 Daily #5

Question: "Structures, both social and physical are continually improving." agree or disagree


Answer: A structure can represent an important aspect in culture or a way to show power and wealth.  In ancient Egypt, elaborate temples and pyramids were created to show the power the ruler had and how much honor they received.  Our American society has many monuments and building to be proud of.  We have monuments to honor past presidents and memorials to stand in place for where the Twin Towers used to stand.  Every structure around the world each has a different physical appearance, but they have a different social meaning.  The Empire State Building was built in a big, metropolitan area while the Pyramids of Giza border the city.  Countries in Europe are filled with lavish castles where past rulers lived while the U.S. has the White House where the president works everyday.  I believe that a structure can improve physically because we have the tools to create anything we want.  It also improves socially because a structure can reflect on the type of society the people live in.
