Original Title for your Paper

    Chapter 1 of Discovering the Global Past presents primary sources relating to the importance of water in early societies. Two of these sources, number 10 “Suetonius’s Description of the Water Projects Undertaken by Emperor Claudius (r. 41-54 C.E.)” and number 11 “Activities of Shao Xinchen, Han Dynasty, before 33 B.C.E.” specifically contrast different styles of political leadership revolving around water issues. Which man displays better leadership, Emperor Claudius or Shao Xinchen?  Use quotes from the reading to support your argument.
