Exam question 2

    The Agricultural Revolution was important to the development of cities in many ways. They began by domesticating animals and began farming. It helped trade, which made people move to one spot so they could easily trade with other people. This allowed a city to form. Also, it gave people more time to do other things instead of hunt. People began pottery, weaving, decorating, sewing, etc. It gave people a food surplus, which also made the population grow tremendously. When people started coming together and they began living together, they started governments and actually established cities. Other than the positive aspects, the revolution also brought many negative things such as disease and conflict.

If the agricultural revolution were to collapse, many things would go wrong. All of the animals would become undomesticated, and people would have to hunt for their food once again. Also, trade would no longer occur and we couldn't get things from other countries. Without trade, we wouldn't have half of the sources that we have now. That goes for the rest of the world also. Cities would collapse also and people would have more conflict and disease because they would have to become nomadic to survive. The government would probably no longer exist due to the circumstances of the people of the world.
