    As it stands right now, I am faced with a dilemma based on the methods in which I have taught in the past, and the new methods in which I feel are more suited for todays learning environment. Our social and educational community is divided on whether traditional or more modern methods of teaching are more successful. In my opinion, every method in teaching is the same. They deliver a message to the students and are generally retained and modified for their use. With this being said, there are obviously pros and cons to either approach to instruction.…

    There were many different features of the Agricultural Revolution during the eighteenth-century. All of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution had effects both economically and socially. One of these things was crop rotation. Crop rotation led to the social effect of healthier animals and more of those animals which led to healthier people because of their improved diet. Economically crop rotation led to new crops that were ideal for feeding livestock, which made it easier to feed animals. This, in turn, made it a lot cheaper to feed animals and it allowed there to be larger herds of cattle which produced more meat, milk, animals for work, and more crops for people to buy and sell. Another feature of the Agricultural Revolution was the enclosure movement for fencing off private property which eventually led to proletarianization. Socially this made it so that the peasants no longer had access to the common land which meant that they no longer had a place to graze their livestock or farm. Economically this led to market-oriented estate agriculture where the wealthy own the land at it is worked by peasants in return for wages. A third aspect of the Agricultural Revolution was the improvement of farming techniques. Because of the population increase, an increase of farming was needed for both a needed increase in food production and employment opportunities. Socially the effects were that the English and Dutch became known for their new farming techniques and became models for other countries to base themselves after. Economically the new methods of farming resulted in more land being left open for use, better crop production and higher output of crops, and better quality livestock. A closer look at all three of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution shows how much they had an impact both socially and economically.…

    2. The findings about orcas differ from those of chimpanzees in many different ways. Even though they both have a complex culture, orcas communicate in a different ways, they move in groups led by females, they have different ways of pleasing themselves such as rubbing their bodies along rocks and they eat different things. Some orcas eat simple things like salmon others eat things like seals, sea lions and even sharks. One major difference is that instead of the mother Orca forcing/teaching the child how to obtain it’s own food like the chimpanzee learning how to crack nuts; the mother orca instead hunts the food, holds it in her mouth and allow her calves to chew on it. To top it all of orcas are also used for greeting ceremonies in some countries whereas Chimpanzees aren’t.…

    The Agriculture Revolution was a very important time because of the rapid growth of population due to the farming and herding revolution. During this time, the population in the world grew to enormous sizes because of the rapid growth of agriculture. “Growing populations in turn required an even greater need for the intensive exploitation of the environment” (Strayer 51). The point that the population intensifies during this time marks a decisive turning point in history because populations help create larger societies and more civilizations which eventually leads to our modern world today. The Ice Age created a good environment for farming and agriculture which allowed more vegetation. More vegetation meant more settlements which initially meant more people to farm, more people to travel to new places to find new areas, and more people to settle down in one place. Also because of the Ice Age, there were many animals that became domesticated which meant little opportunity for the people to wander as nomads with a herd of slow animals. This increase in food and way of life comes back to the same point: more food means more people which was the agricultural revolution and how very important and significant it truly was. The Agricultural Revolution was very different from the Paleolithic era which shows that it was a very important and rapid turning point in our world history.…
