Answer:

Explanation:

The agricultural revolution began in circa 10,000 B.C.E. before the agricultural revolution, hunter-gathers had a nomadic habitat, which means they moved with the animals that they hunt and never settled down. Even though the agricultural revolution caused global warming, it was positive since it allowed hunter-gathers to settle down, then, further led to the development of tools.

The agricultural revolution allowed hunter-gathers to settle down instead of moving consistently seeking for food. Firstly, the agricultural revolution, which created surplus, made the division of labor possible. That means some people didn’t have to directly engage in farming, and that allowed them to focus on other affairs such as developing cuneiform, which is a form of early writing developed by the Sumerians. The function of cuneiform is to record important events and to communicate with people far away (by letters). Secondly, the development of cuneiform laid a foundation for a more advanced civilization. Then, as a form of civilization, city-states emerged, in which people shared the same culture. City-state is a form of settlement, which has shaped human life and is one of the many benefits of the agricultural revolution.

The agricultural revolution resulted in the development of tools and technological innovations. For example, as the early farmers had to find a way to harvest more efficiently, they invented the hand sickle around 10,000 years ago. The hand sickle allowed them to reap crops faster, so they had extra time to plant more crops. Ultimately, new tools made harvest and planting more efficient, which resulted in a benign circle. Although tools and technology improved human life in many ways, it also had a negative impact.

Global warming is a byproduct of the agricultural revolution. The increasing need for farmland has caused excessive deforestation. Deforestation impacts the climate by decreasing the amount of sunlight and heat that get reflected back into space. This process is called albedo. Furthermore, as the population and the demand for food increases, more tools had to be developed with more greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, it forms a vicious cycle. As technology is developed and the industrial age starts, more greenhouse gas is emitted into the atmosphere, which is a form of pollution. Global warming has continued its process ever since the agricultural revolution, and it reaches potentially catastrophic levels at present.

Although the agricultural revolution had negative impacts such as global warming, which humans still struggle to cope with, it promoted productivity greatly, and it brought humans from nomadic habits to settlement. Thus, it further led to waves of technological innovation, and then, shaped our lives today.

How did Martin Luther's efforts lead to the end of Christian unity in Europe and the beginning of Protestantism? Make sure to gi

The Catholic Church before the Reformation

Up until the time of the Reformation, many people accepted the Church’s authority on religious matters. The Catholic laity not only controlled matters of religion, they also governed areas of politics and economics. Many Catholic priests and clergy grew rich by allowing people to pay money in order to be forgiven for their sins. Another problem that was occurring was the Catholic Church’s close involvement with the political affairs of Europe. The Catholic Church had immense power all throughout Europe, because it was closely connected to powerful rulers and kingdoms.

The Pope was authorizing monarchs to freely divorce their wives and to marry other women in order to strengthen their alliances and their kingdom’s political position. These were but a few of the problems that many people began to take notice of and speak out against. Martin Luther became a Catholic monk in 1505 because of a life-changing event. A lightning bolt had struck near him on his way home, and he started to look at his life as though God was going to judge him harshly for his sins. He chose to be a monk because of the promise that he made to a St. Anna to keep him from Christ’s judgment. He soon became a well renowned monk by his peers.

Spreading the Ideas that Led to Protestantism

In 1517, Martin Luther posted a 95-page thesis on the door of the Church of Wittenberg. Once this thesis was attached to the door, the ideas contained within it began to spread to the many different parts of Europe. People everywhere used Luther’s ideas to help form their own ideas about God and to start their own church denominations. Protestantism sprang up from this movement and the prominent idea behind this branch of Christianity was justification by faith: that God saved people by faith in Jesus Christ alone.

Conflicting Beliefs

The Catholic Church did not like Luther’s ideas, nor did many kings and emperors. Within a few years, many people all over the continent were breaking away from the Catholic Church and began to worship God in their own way. Many European rulers were making themselves the head of their own churches, and the Pope was also doing everything in his power to maintain the Church’s control. Many people lost their lives during this chaotic period and many religious wars broke out all over Europe. The primary problem was that the Catholic’s were in charge and they didn’t want to let go of the people or their power. People were also being rounded up and killed or jailed. Many people who disagreed with the Catholic Church had to flee their homelands and travel to different parts of Europe to worship as they pleased.

The Spread of the Protestant Reformation

Meanwhile, Martin Luther was steadily promoting his new ideas and constantly printing information that was changing how Europeans believed in God. Luther fueled the Protestant Reformation during the time when European powers were starting to colonize America. The whole notion of leaving America and traveling to another world to worship God on their own terms began to appeal to many people. Many nations were already funding expeditions to the New World ever since Spain established the first American colony. Many European dissenters began to leave England and other parts of Europe in order to travel to America. Once they arrived, they began to separate into their own religious groups and constructed various societies based off their own beliefs and values.

Martin Luther also wrote about separating political power form church power. He espoused the idea that kingdoms should handle the affairs on the Earth but they should not mettle in matters of religion or spirituality. In some of the printed works that he created he spoke out about how kingdoms should wage wars against Turkish powers, but he stated that they should fight a spiritual battle against the Islamic belief through prayer and repentance. Luther’s views on church and governing powers helped to establish a principal for the separation of church and state. Luther’s work on this matter is one of the earliest printed materials about this subject. Luther’s views also helped to establish the doctrine of freedom. Before the Reformation, people did not live their lives according to personal rights to choose as they believed. They had to follow the established order of things from the time they were born up until the time they died but the Protestant Reformation had helped to change this by having people to realize that they were allowed to worship as they pleased. Other freedoms naturally sprang up from this concept as well. It could be argued that First Amendment rights such as the freedom of speech could be tied to Luther’s work.

How peace, wealth, stability, and cultural interaction were important to the rise of a Golden Age?

Setler79 [48]

The term Golden Age comes from Greek mythology and it refers to the initial stage of all the different human eras. In the Golden Age men lived in an ideal state, in an utopian dream, where humankind was pure and immortal. The Golden Age does not about war, work, the old age stage of life, nor sickness, and in this age, people died in a pacific dream. The main reason why there are no conflicts among men is because the land offers and produces goods in adequate quantities, in order to satisfy all men needs; men in the Golden Age lived a happy, easy life.

So, if there is no conflict between the humankind, if there is equality among men, prosperity and wealth for everyone in the same proportion, if there is no sickness, and if there is a cultural interaction between civilizations a Golden Age must rise. Humans will live a happy, calm life, without any worries; which will make perfect lives in an apparent perfect world. This is actually an utopic thought due to the fact that life is not perfect and that humans are confrontational, greedy and troubled.
