1.
Factors: the variety and accessibility of food, the population around me, the education available, technology, friends, tools, showers, money, cities and towns, stores, restaurants, ways to have fun, family, entertainment

2.
Depression, money, friends, family, health (like drug and alcohol abuse), quality of house, quality of properties, cleanliness, economy

4.
Agriculturalists had the better quality of life because they had better access to food which gave them more time and allowed them to establish communities. With less people gathering food, more people in the communities learned new abilities which led to new jobs and new tools/technologies.

Unit 6: My Civilization

          My civilization will be called Terribilis Mundi (Latin for "awesome world"). My civilization will be located in the northern parts of Brazil. There will be three main cities with one Capital, called Vallis, which will be invetween the other two major cities Brenno (to the West) and Draco (to the East). Their will be weekly parties and, we will be a very social population. Our views will be based around friendship and fun.


          Our religion will be Roman Chatholic. Everyone will be required to attend mass on Sunday mornings. After mass, there will be parties that will be thrown by the churches at the city/town centers. The parties will be around lunch time and there will be much food .There will be one main church for everyone to go to located by the city/town centers. 
          The government will be a Monarchy, with me being King. There will be a council of wise men underneath me to help with the laws and economy. The laws would be the Ten Commandments and that you must attend mass on Sundays. The laws will be written in the city/town centers. There will be prisons in the cities. There will be a police force in the cities and towns.

           In school kids will have to take normall elementary classes till 5th grade. In these years they will learn the correct way to write, spell, and speek along with basic math, science, and history skills. After fifth grade students will need to choose a career catagory for their futures. They will then be taking classes based on what they had chosen. Theses classes will still teach you about a wide range of things. Once you are a junior your classes will then be based on certain careers that the individual will take.
           Our art will be are building structures and how our cities will be organized. Our buildings will be advanced structures with attraction and art put into them. In Draco, there will be buildings on water with many beautiful bridges reaching from section to section of the city. The engineers (artist) that design these structures will be selected by my council.

  
             
          Our cities will be fed by the food from are farms in the smaller towns and from the "food pastures"  where herds of animals will be raised and killed for their meat. These places will be well protected and will be businesses instead of individuals owning their own farming land. These fields will be huge and have many different types of  crops. Coffee, corn, rice, wheat,  soybeans,  and sugarcane will be our main crops.
          How Terribilis Mundi will be started is that I will find new oil in Northern Brazil and from the oil I will gain much money. From my riches I will buy the land. After acquiring the land I will find men and woman to bring into my land from English speeding countries. I will higher my council. To start building my cities I will higher engineers and workers to build the main part of the city around the centers and all the small towns for my civilians to live at until the future.
          If a archeologist discovered Terribilis Mundi 5000 years from now they would find a civilization like no other. They would see our cities of great complexity and creativity. They would find our huge churches and our city/town centers. If they found records they would see that we were very much into knowledge and control. They would learn about my role in the creation and how Terribilis Mundi was created. they would also learn about my council of wise men to help me with my decision making.

Unit 6 Post 2

The Chinese agriculture was much more organized and had more of a system. They had better houses to live in. They also had slaughter houses for their animals. The Chinese were able to have more crops and made more objects with their crops then the Neolithic people. The Chinese were able to have larger amounts of food from their crops and their slaughter houses.

Unit 6 Post 1

A. Men had jobs for collecting food and protecting the settlements which made them play a more dominant role in their societies. Men also did most of the farming and herding of animals. Woman, while men were usually away from their homes, would be at home or in the settlement taking care of the kids, weaving cloth, turning milk into cheese, and other jobs that required labor in one place.
B. The Neolithic people farming to produce larger amount of food, creating houses out of dried mud, creating new jobs, men/woman having certain jobs, the creation of classes, and the knowledge of how to use writing to keep information like records were all changes in the Neolithic Revolution that helped develope cities.
C. I think agriculture will keep playing a major role in the future because cities need a large amount of food for all their civilians and I think more cities and systemic agriculter developed more because of "collective learning", also, because more humans were traveling to new areas and shared their information.

Big History Project: The Earth

The Early Earth

          On my model I showed how the Earth was made of molten lava and hot rocks. The black foam paper is the rock. The red foam paper is the lava on Earth. In the sky there are meteors and information about how the atmosphere was .The Earth was basically this one large landmass of rock with lava coming out of volcanoes and made seas of lava. The volcanoes were formed by plates running into each other and one plate sliding under the other, forcing the top plate upwards making volcanoes and mountains. The volcanoes had explosions and shot volcanic emissions into the atmosphere and eventually the emissions turned into the oceans. The volcanoes ruleed the early Earth, as you can see at http://www.environmentalgraffiti.com/ecology/mother-earth-when-volcanoes-ruled-the-world/580. The atmosphere was much different then, and there was no oxygen. The early Earth was very radioactive. It was very radioactive from the supernova that created the Universe, accretion, and pressure.  During the time of the early Earth there also were meteors hitting the Earth all the time, which is actually how the Earth formed. Some of this information can be found on universitytoday.com.

 

    After early Earth the time of Pangea formed. Water evaporated and surrounded the Earth forming the first atmosphere. This made a green house effect which helped with the melting of the Earth.

 The early Earth was very hot and Earth melted over a long period of time. When the Earth melted it made layers, which made the basic form of Earth. Eventually the water vapor fell to Earth forming the oceans. The Earth settled down until a Mars sized object hit Earth making it like it was before and made steam  which formed the atmosphere again. The water fell to Earth again forming the oceans and the moon, which was created from the impact from the Mars sized object, helped balance the Earth and keep it stable. Chemicals in the ocean made the first organisms and they spread all over the Earth. Oxygen eventually took over the atmosphere. When this happened Earth's green house effect went away making the Earth very cold making the "ice age". Then volcanoes came up from the surface and lava came out warming the Earth again. This happened three times. After these times of the Earth being ice it became a stable Earth. Some life forms survived the cold weather. At this time Plants grew and Earth became it's next stage. I got all this information from a video about the early atmosphere and Earth on bighistoryproject.com

1. The new ideas were that the elements and Earth came from huge meteors crashing into eachother
2. I believed that the Earth just appeared very shortly after the Big Bang and appeared at the same time as every thing else did. From the videos I learned that Earth appeared came from massive rocks   colliding with eachother.
3. Earth
