Themes in US and World History Task # 1 Nina Valentin 1. Without the seasonal flooding of the Nile, hunter gatherers in the Predynastic period would never have settled into agricultural villages which would lead to the development of Egyptian culture (history.com). In Ancient Egyptian the majority of the population where farmers. The peasant population depended on the cyclical flooding of the Nile to fertilize the surrounding land for cultivation. Since the majority of the population was based in small farming villages along the Nile, agriculture was the basis for their economy (history.com).
In the South, the majority of families lived the traditional southern lifestyle of subsistence farming and providing for themselves, giving them a weak link to the market (Holmes, Lecture 9)*. To the North, the Market Revolution created a consumer class of factory wage laborers, merchants, and commercialized farmers that relied on the market to obtain the necessities that they didn’t provide for themselves (Holmes, Lecture 9)*. The new innovations brought by the Market Revolution shifted families in portions of the North from self-sufficiency to commercialization, thus, also shifting the importance of the

Socially responsible effort is the effort individuals and institutions use to develop ethical strategies that improve environmental, social, and economic conditions around them. Social responsibility initiatives are generally a reflection of their ethical stance and are important ways of showing sensitivity to issues that affect others. Through a community profile of the virtual Kelsey community, this paper will highlight how groups within society demonstrate socially responsible behaviors. The city of Kelsey is an urban-suburban community with population of 600,000 citizens. The population demographic consists mostly of young adults with a median age of 32 years and an average income of $33,512.
Pennsylvania Dutch Amish PowerPoint Notes Where they live: The Amish have settled in towns all over the United States. The largest Amish settlements are in Lancaster County in south-central Pennsylvania, Elkhart and LaGrange counties in northeast Indiana, Missouri, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Holmes County, Ohio. The Amish live in a rural setting that includes rolling hills, plenty of land for farms and country roads. They live isolated from other cultures so there is little competition for resources because many Amish farm and provide their own resources. Family Structure: Amish have large families that include many children and their extended family.
(Page 216) Manorialism-Organization of rural economy and society by three classes of manors: a lord’s own land, serf holdings, and free peasant land.

Here, Scott is making the claim that resistance is inherently present in a farming society, as the rules that are imposed upon workers stem from resistance itself, and that the two are constantly in clash with one another, thereby resulting in the productive system that the USSR came to adapt to and accept. I debunk his argument by saying that resistance is, in fact, actually nonexistent in this case. The reason that
Inequality is a term used to describe the unequal distribution of valued social resources therefore its an unfair situation, in which some groups in society have more money, opportunities or power than others. In both study materials, the making social lives DVD and Learning Companion 1, we look at City Road. This road consists of lots of different shops, majority of which are restaurants and takeaways targeted at the local ethnic minority and student populations. After studying both study materials I have come to acknowledge the many different inequalities on City Road. The first inequality I will talk about is an Ethnic inequality.
This is an awareness paper about the state I live in, which is none other than the very different Louisiana. Living in Louisiana there is alone of different things from other states. We are sometimes called the dirty south, because of the conditions we live in. Down here its country in most areas, but we have New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
