History

Answer:

I think the correct answer to this open question is the following.

We are talking about the Article "Nacirema," written by Horace Miner, in which he describes American culture.

We cannot say it is outrageous or inappropriate because it is the perception and vision of an anthropologist that is exposing his work Is there any evidence of bias? Probably, but if the work tried to make a peculiar description of the inhabitants of America to capture the attention of scholars and readers, he had to do it in an unconventional way.

"Nacirema," is "America" spelled backward, and was aimed to describe the conduct and customs of American people from a different perspective.  

I hope this help! I don't know this is wrong or right! It my idea. I hope this help you!:)

How were tools cloth and most other goods made before the industrial revolution?
lozanna [386]
Tools, cloth and most other goods were made by hand prior to the Industrial Revolution.  Due to improvements in automation and assembly lines, more goods were produced at a lower price during the Industrial Revolution.  Machines replaced hand tools and steam was used to run the machines that made the tools.  Cloth and shoes also became machine-made. Another outcome of the Industrial Revolution was the implementation of the factory system.

What development allowed hunter/gatherer groups of humans to build large cities?
yarga [219]

It would be the development in agricultural knowledge/technology

Development in agriculture enable hunter/gatherer society to shift their behavior. Before this, they had to keep moving from one place to another in order to seek food to live.

After the development in agricultural knowledge/technology, the society now can stay in one exact place for a long period of time and relied on agricultural product as their main source food.

After living in one same place for a long time, the needs to build things to accommodate their living start to arise. They start to built several things and repeat the process every year. In the end, large cities were developed from the initially small hunter/gatherer society.
