#🕰️ Continuity & Change Over Time (The Big Picture)

It's all about spotting what stayed the same and what changed. Think of it like a river: the water flows (change), but the riverbed (continuity) stays mostly put.

#🔄 Continuity

Even with massive shifts, some things just stick.

#⛪ Religion

• Major religions like Judaism, Islam, and Christianity remained influential.

#🌍 Political Borders

• Despite some post-WWII changes, most countries kept their existing borders.

#🎭 Culture

• Traditional practices remained crucial, especially in cultures valuing their heritage. These customs are a way to connect with the past and maintain stability. - Example: Jewish observance of the Sabbath, even with modern transport.

Caption: A street in Jerusalem during Sabbath, where daily activities are paused in observance. - **Indigenous cultures** maintained hunting, fishing, farming, and spiritual practices. - **Festivals & celebrations** passed down through generations, strengthening community bonds.

#🏘️ Social Structures

• In the West, the middle class remained largely white-collar workers with education-based status.

- However, countries like **Russia, Brazil, China, and India** saw some shifts, but still lagged behind the West in social mobility. - **India's caste system** is a prime example of continuity.
