Exam 2

The Agricultural Revolution was very important to the development and establishment of cities, as people began to settle down.  A community cannot form if people are not remaining in one place for a long amount of time.  Instead of following animals  like everyone did for so long, people began to farm.  This farming allowed for the establishment of cities.  Food was being provided to the people of the community.  Also, having a farm allowed for the creation of more jobs in the city in which the farm was located.  People needed to work the farm, and this also helped the economy of the city.  The Revolution also sparked the creation of the economy that we know today.  Since cities were established, people needed jobs and some sort of currency with which to buy things.



Newspaper Article:
Today, the despair continues in our world as our agricultural system has completely broken down.  There is a worldwide shortage of food.  People are not getting the nutrition that they need to be healthy.  Farms are falling apart - literally.  Farmers are out of jobs, and there is simply no need for them any longer.


The global economy is falling apart, as well.  Farmers and farm workers are out of a job.
