Chris Manguno January 16, 2014 1st Period AP English III Because the world has become a dangerous place, many people chose to give up some freedoms for safety, since in most people?s minds; safety is much more valuable than freedom. This state of mind would have been laughed at in the past, but today, with the media, government, and constant control laws, many people are highly skeptical and would rather have less freedom in exchange for some more safety. Even though many people would trade some freedom for some safety, I do not think that anyone would fully trade away all of their freedom just to become a slave of safety.

Chapter 1 Summary

Part I The Origins of Civilization Summary. The first human beings appeared over two million years ago, with major stages in physical development ending about 140,000 years ago. They discovered tool using and improving and thus were able to move away from hunting and gathering practices to form larger groups. The key markers for the origins of human societies are the beginnings of agriculture, about 9000 B.C.E., and the achievement of the societies that followed. By 1000 B.C.E. several civilizations were ready for more elaborate political and cultural forms. The Neolithic Revolution. Humans had spread widely long before agriculture was invented. Their hunting and gathering techniques kept them in small bands. Agriculture made larger systems possible, but

Neolithic is of or relating to the cultural periods of the Stone Age beginning around 10,000 B.C. in the Middle East and later elsewhere, characterized by the development of agriculture and the making of polished stone artifacts. The Neolithic Period is also called the New Stone Age. Many water pots and ceramic figures were found in the ruins of Neolithic society plots of earth. People of Neolithic times made many artifacts that were symbolic of their ways of life and culture such as water pots, fish, hunting and medical objects. Out of the artifacts found from the Neolithic period, the fish is symbolic to me because of the times spent with my father during fishing trips.
