Time Measurement

Easy

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Easy of History

Read the text and answer the question below: In Antiquity, civilizations used different methods to measure time. The Egyptians, for example, created a calendar based on the flooding of the Nile, which marked the beginning of a new agricultural year, while the Babylonians developed a system of twelve months based on the phases of the Moon. In addition, the Greeks were pioneers in the use of water clocks, which operated based on the controlled flow of liquids to measure specific periods. Considering this information and thinking about the time measurement tools we have today, such as the clock and the calendar, explain the importance of these ancient inventions for current time measurement and how they could be used in learning how to measure time in everyday life.
a.
Ancient calendars and water clocks are only useful in museums and for academic study, with no practical application in everyday life or in children's learning about time.
b.
Ancient inventions for time measurement, such as calendars based on astronomical events and water clocks, were fundamental for the development of more precise measurement methods, such as modern clocks and calendars. In everyday life, this knowledge can be applied to teach children how to read time on an analog clock and understand the importance of marking time and following a schedule.
c.
The ancient methods of time measurement are not relevant to current time; they are just historical curiosities.
d.
Ancient inventions have been replaced by modern technologies and therefore no longer influence how we measure time in everyday life.
e.
Although ancient calendars and clocks are interesting, they did not contribute to the evolution of the time measurement systems we currently use.

During the period known as the 'Revolution of the Modern States', the political fragmentation characteristic of the Middle Ages gave way to centralized structures of power, with monarchs emerging as unifying figures of increasingly defined nations. This process not only reconfigured the political map of Europe but also deeply impacted social and economic organization, transforming the relationship between rulers and the ruled. In 'The Foundations of Power and Wealth', historian Norman Davies states that 'The emergence of modern states was not only the result of political and military forces, but also reflected a change in mentalities and methods of governance.' Considering the context presented and Davies' quote, develop a discursive essay addressing the following points: 1) Explain how the formation of European nation-states altered power dynamics and the political organization of the continent. 2) Discuss the social implications and the new governance paradigm that emerged with the centralization of power in the hands of monarchs and the transition to a more 'national' government.
