Before Civilization: The Prehistoric Era Part 2


Today in Mr. Schick’s Western Civilization class, we started class by being freezing. Because of the cold class room, Mr. Schick allowed Kelley, Grace, Holly and I to go and get our jackets from our lockers. After we got our jackets, we continued to take notes on the video we are watching. Mr. Schick asked us a question that only Drew could answer. The question was… What is the biggest city in the United States that is not located near water? The answer was Indianapolis. We learned about the Agricultural Revolution also known as the Neolithic Revolution. The Agricultural Revolution was a shift form hunting and gathering.  To move permanent settlements centered on agriculture (beginning in Southwestern Asia.) Population rose due to increased ability to care for young children. We have gone from 15,000 years ago being hunters and gathers to being what are now. If you are making minimum wage in the United States, you would only have to work eleven minutes to  buy a 99 cent cheeseburger.
