In human development, many different cultural aspects popped out such as trade and dance. In the lecture video, “Trade and the Human Experience”, professor Herbst states how trade was an important part of human culture as it helped civilizations grow and connect with neighboring city-states. With this, the advancement of trading techniques and networking was provided. Dance was also a unique cultural aspect that is still past on to this day. Based on the video, “Dance and Human Sociability”, professor Herbst explains that dance was used to release stress and have stronger bonds with people living with each other. Dance was later used for almost any ritual such as to please higher beings. With dance being more used, it slowly intertwined with culture and is known as one of the most cultural aspects for certain groups of people. Based on current times, trade is more important for human development than dance. Dance created stronger bonds with fellow residents and was used to please higher beings. However, trade allowed neighboring city-states to create networks and spread their culture to other city-states. This led to more advancement in both lands and has been passed down to modern times where trade has been simplified into spending money to obtain products.
