I’m stuck on a History question and need an explanation.

Write on the following topic:

Topic 1:

Define the key aspects of “Western Civilization” and discuss the different ways historians might understand the term. How “west” is the West, for example? What are the most important changes, in your opinion, that Western Civilization brought to human life? Give examples from before 1000 BCE.

• Your response should be at least 500 words in length
• Use MLA format for any quotations or citations that you use to support your answer
• PlagiarismYou are expected to write primarily in your own voice, using paraphrase, summary, and synthesis techniques when integrating information from class and outside sources. Use an author’s exact words only when the language is especially vivid, unique, or needed for technical accuracy. Failure to do so may result in charges of Academic Dishonesty.Overusing an author’s exact words, such as including block quotations to meet word counts, may lead your readers to conclude that you lack appropriate comprehension of the subject matter or that you are neither an original thinker nor a skillful writer.
