DBQ Although the needs of farmers were recognized and appealed to, agriculture was still drastically changed by technology, government policy, and economic conditions, eventually leading to a sharp decline between 1865 and 1900. This thesis will be defended by examining the impact of technology on agriculture, analyzing government policy, and studying economic conditions. With the many advancements made in technology, agriculture became more beneficial and allowed more farmers to prosper. The creation of tools such as the chilled-iron plow, the grain drill and the baling press all contributed to the domination of the Plains. However, most of these technological innovations were not within the grasp of the average farmer; only wealthy farmers could afford to own things such as the wheat harvester and the number of horses it took to pull it (Document D).
With Pakistan having such a low GDP it ‘s we see a large percentage of their population working in agriculture making crops etc. very important to their lives. Cumbria still lies at a big disadvantage and risk to flooding due to its urbanization, which Pakistan has little of. Due to Cumbria’s large economic advantages many factors are added which can increase flooding such as the large areas of impermeable pavements causing reduced lag time. Other factors can include Gutters and Drains quickly taking water to the rivers.
This includes exposure to light, pollution, weathering, erosion, and people walking through the sites, treasure hunters and vandalism. The damage done to Pompeii alone is expected to cost over 300 million US dollars to conserve the town, although due to the severe lack of funding this can be considered to be an impossible task. As both Pompeii and Herculaneum were initially excavated in the 18th century they have been standing exposed to the elements for hundreds of years, and so all structures have been affected by general deterioration over time. Excavations have left structures unstable and are on the verge of collapse. For example on November 6th 2010 the house of the Gladiators collapsed due to general deterioration and also heavy rainfall – see source B.
Many colonists died in early Jamestown, was it because of the environmental problems, the lack of settler skills, or maybe it was the bad relationship the colonist had with the Indians? The lack of skills by the settlers played a huge role in the many deaths of the colonists. In May 1607, 110 settlers arrived in Jamestown. Of the 110, only 82 had known occupations, and 47 out of the 82 were gentlemen (a gentlemen was a person of wealth who was not used to working with his hands)(Doc. C).
The workers were not visiting the clients on a weekly basis as mandated by DCFS and paperwork was consistently late.

Some of the exchanges that took place between the Old World and the New World included sugar, coffee, vegetables, precious metals, livestock, and diseases. These exchanges had both good and bad effects. Precious metals seemed to be a good thing, but they were plundered from the Aztec and Incan empires and usually melted down, destroying artifacts from those societies. Because these metals were so abundant, it caused inflation, thus actually lowering the standard of living for most in Europe. The crops helped to provide good food for the peasants of Europe and Ireland, helping to end the huge problem of famine.
Insurance companies were pounded after the storm with many insurance claims due to all the flooding and wind damage. A lot of policies would not cover the flooding that was caused by storm surge. This left a lot of people with no money to fix their homes and an insurance policy that is useless. Not only were the people homeless, but also lost all of their clothes, beds, and valuables. Many of the valuables and memories could not be replaced.

Many things can cause a shortage in food supply such as, natural disasters, insects, or soil problems. When farming productivity is low this will affect the exports of food, either limiting it or eliminating it completely. The average American’s diet will include the necessities like, grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. The consumption of animal products will be lower due to the fact their food source will be harder to get. The increase in food will increase the price of food.
Reflection Paper (The Drought) By Anon The state of California is going through one of the worst droughts ever recorded in the past 100 years(California’s Drought). It’s no surprise that with the lack of rain we have had in the past two years, water reservoirs are reaching an all-time low. They are constantly working in overtime trying to provide the residents of California with the water needed to sustain their households. Although we are putting pressure on our water reservoirs, it’s still not enough to get us by anymore and the government has also asked that people cut back on water usage. It’s sad to think that the state of California has already had a couple of cities run out of water.
