feb 27 Industrial Revolution Chapter 17

I feel that this revolution pros weigh out the cons in so many ways. I really like the idea that people are using their ideas to improve things. When example is invention of the wheel. Now that we are concept is used in more ways than just on a vehicle. The wheel is used in factories such as conveyor belts. But before the first vehicle was designed the steam engine move the ships on the water. To have a self-contained engine power but before the first vehicle was designed the steam engine move the ships on the water. To have a self-contained engine  changes the way the mode of the transportation world. I think it is fascinating and technology and science work together. Just about everything has a ripple effect on something else. The microwave oven for example use to cost over $500 in the 1970's when it was actually invented in 1946 which in those days could cost more than a weeks worth of pay. People in the 60's couldn't afford them and they were difficult and time consuming to make. As the result of the industrial revolution and the factories that make mass amounts everyday. We can but a quality microwave oven for under a days worth of day. The examples are endless.

Evidence Document I.I A Paleolithic Woman in the Twentieth Century In 1971 Marjorie Shostakovich the anthropologist meet a "bush lady" on the border of Botswana and South Africa in the Kalahari desert. She name was Nisa and was about 50 years old.  What I found interesting is that she lived a life that is interesting in many ways. As a child she played like a child and big sister. She would carry her new born little brother on her shoulders to play. Some parents would think this would be a bit dangerous and not a good idea. An instinct of a crying baby might be that he was hungry and Nisa as a child brought him to their mother to nurse. Awesome baby sitter in my opinion. As they grew older they played often.  Some parents might consider some of it to be rough and dangerous in the wild bush which formed a strong family bond. They would gather food like berries and beans together and sometimes help father with the animal traps. Their father would often be out hunting and ret...

Chapter 1 - First Farmer Humans were giving the guidance to subdue the earth.  In time some decided to explore, wonder and claim new land for ourselves. I like to wonder and discover new stuff.  It started off in the area of what we know as Africa and went to the Middle East.  Many years later we did pretty much cover the entire earth which was livable. Place like Antarctica have land but why too much cold to survive. Along the travel we found and learned so many things such as new plants to eat and animals to hunt. This brings us to the first human societies which were in the range of 25-50 people. We probably discovered that we are strong and more efficient working as a team than solo.  At the time men and women were equal. The men did most of the hunting and fishing while the women did most of the food gathering. By the numbers the food gather consist of about 70% and the meat was about 30%.  You would think by these numbes the women provided most of the fo...

 Fascism and the holocaust was harsh stuff in Germany.  Hitler took the role as leader and a hard one. It was not good to be Jewish at the time. Even if you were part Jewish,  you were penalized as being in this race and defaulted as Jewish. Hitler's Plan was to wipe out the Jewish people and people that were "different " such and the mentally challenged/ill, LGBT, handicapped, ect.
