What accounted for the shift from nomadic to sedentary societies in early Native American culture

History

babunello [35]3 years ago

Answer:

What accounted for the shift was the same thing that accounted for the shift in other parts of the world: the development of agriculture.

Explanation:

When a society develops agriculture, it shifts from being nomadic to being sedentary. This is because of two main, intertwined reasons:

The first is that growing crops is a burdensome activity that demands a lot of time, and care: ploughing the land, planting the seeds, tending the crops, caring for them, and picking them in time of harvest. This makes growing crops clash with a nomadic lifestyle.

The second reason is that agriculture is a more efficient way to produce food than hunting or gathering. Agriculture does produce a steady supply of food when the crops do not fail, while gathering and hunting hardly produces what is necessary for survival. This is an incentive for early societies to develop agriculture.

Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Mary Wollstonecraft was an Enlightenment thinker as she applied Enlightenment ideas on individual freedom to women, as well as to men.

Explanation:

Mary Wollstonecraft was an English philosopher and writer. Considered a leading figure in the modern world, she wrote novels, stories, essays, treatises, a travel story and a children's literature book. As an eighteenth-century woman, she was able to establish herself as a professional and independent writer in London, something unusual for the time. In her work Vindication of women's rights (1792), she argues that women are not by nature inferior to men, but appear to be because they do not receive the same education, and that men and women should be treated as rational beings. She imagined, also, a social order based on reason. With this work, she established the foundations of modern feminism and made her one of the most popular women in Europe of the time.
