    Define the following:

    1. Neolithic Period - also called New Stone Age, final stage of cultural
    evolution or technological development among prehistoric humans. It
    was characterized by stone tools shaped by polishing or grinding,
    dependence on domesticated plants or animals, settlement in
    permanent
    villages,
    and
    the
    appearance
    of
    such
    crafts
    as pottery and weaving. The Neolithic followed the Paleolithic Period, or
    age of chipped-stone tools, and preceded the Bronze Age, or early
    period of metal tools.

    2. Democracy - literally, rule by the people. The term is derived from the
    Greek dmokrati,
    which
    was
    coined
    from dmos (people)
    and kratos (rule) in the middle of the 5th century BC to denote the
    political systems then existing in some Greek city-states, notably
    Athens.

    3. Cleisthenes - also spelled Clisthenes (born c. 570 BCEdied c. 508),


    statesman regarded as the founder of Athenian democracy, serving as
    chief archon (highest magistrate) of Athens (525524). Cleisthenes
    successfully allied himself with the popular Assembly against the
    nobles (508) and imposed democratic reform. Perhaps his most
    important innovation was
    the
    basing
    of
    individual
    political
    responsibility on citizenship of a place rather than on membership in a
    clan.

    4. Museum - Institution dedicated to preserving and interpreting the


    primary tangible evidence of humankind and the environment. In its
    preserving of this primary evidence, the museum differs markedly from
    the library, with which it has often been compared, for the items
    housed in a museum are mainly unique and constitute the raw material
    of study and research. In the museum the object, in many cases
    removed in time, place, and circumstance from its original context,
    communicates itself directly to the viewer in a way not possible
    through other media. Museums have been founded for a variety of
    purposes: to serve as recreational facilities, scholarly venues, or
    educational resources; to contribute to the quality of life of the areas
    where they are situated; to attract tourism to a region; to promote civic
    pride or nationalistic endeavor; or even to transmit overtly ideological
    concepts. Given such a variety of purposes, museums reveal
    remarkable diversity in form, content, and even function. Yet, despite
    such diversity, they are bound by a common goal: the preservation and
    interpretation
    of
    some
    material
    aspect
    of
    societys
    cultural consciousness.

    5. Heritage - is a property, something that is inherited, passed down


    from previous generations. In the case of cultural heritage, the
    heritage doesnt consist of money or property, but of culture, values
    and traditions. Cultural heritage implies a shared bond, our belonging
    to a community. It represents our history and our identity; our bond to
    the past, to our present, and the future.
