...1 Geography and the Development and Diffusion of Human Societies GKE TASK 1 Michelle Murray Western Governors University GKE Task1 2 A. The two rivers, Tigris and Euphrates are substantial examples of geographical and environmental factors that impacted the development of the Mesopotamia civilization.

The Euphrates River is 1700 miles long and not as deep only flat boats can ride along this river. (Hollar,2011). I believe both rivers contributed to the Mesopotamia civilization and were significant geographical and environmental factors. The two rivers were a point of focus from the beginning. They provided rich soil perfect for agriculture, deposits of mud and clay to build their community, mode of transportation and water for irrigation for crops. The use of these valleys’ soil and water were signs of innovation and exchange. The Mesopotamians made the Fertile Crescent fertile with their irrigation technology. (Keita,n.d) They had to create an irrigation system so they could better operate the river’s water. Along with the fertile soil, proper irrigation and organized labor they reaped the benefits of the land. They were able to grow a surplus of food not only for the community...

Boatright, 2010). Most businesses rely upon borrowed money. A part of this is provided by the shareholders in the form of share capital. In return the shareholders expect an increase in the wealth in order to compensate the risk faced. By wealth maximization we mean either an increase in the market value of ordinary shares or in the form of dividends. It is a long-term objective. Many organizations instead of seeking shareholders wealth maximization seek to maximize profits. Profit refers to the surplus generated by a business and hence the firm may conclude that profit maximization...
