Weekly 3. Stuff We Make: Megaliths, Pyramids, War

Our civilization is called the Xobile civilization. They have lived in Bel Air, Maryland for thousands of years. This civilization was founded around 100 b.c. my the famous Myan explorer, Kimosabe. Our civilization prospered to to the areas high amount of fertile soil. The Xobile took off agriculture making new tools such as plows and domesticating local deer to pull the plows.
            Our culture fell upon poor times when the climate dropped majorly. Many people died of starvation. All of our domesticated deer died. When the summer came around though due to the leadership of Kimosabe the leader rebounded. They population came back and they were able to create enough surplus  to survive the winter.  Thanks to Kimosabe our civilization was able to survive. When Kimosbe died everybody was very sad. They decided to build a massive burial tomb. They traded many of their valuables for these massive stones and dragged them to their holiest spot. They made a glorious tomb to recognize their leader. This tomb has survived for thousand of years even though the civilization was wiped out.

Daily Question # 1

Does history progress? Is an elephant really "better" than a mammoth?

            History is the collection of past events or human affairs (The Free Dictionary). Yes, I do believe that history does progress. If it didn’t progress, the world would be the same as it was in the earlier centuries. Now, we dress differently, have different laws and leaders, believe in different things and religions, eat different foods and in different ways, and the economy is more advanced. Another big difference is that the world is more technically advanced. Adding to that, the world is also more medically efficient because of new ideas and a better economy. Things like this change in only a matter of years. Just think of how different the world is today compared to 50 years ago.

            Humans aren’t the only things that have advanced over the years though. Animals changed just as much. They have developed better traits and more efficient ways to survive in their climates/habitats. I personally don’t think that either the elephant or mammoth are particularly “better” than one another. They both have characteristics that make them unique and sufficient to their home environments. Mammoths are covered in hair, which help them to survive in colder climates. Elephants don't have much hair so they can live better in hot temperatures. Both animals have tusks, but the mammoths were a little bit bigger. Even though they had smaller tusks, Elephants have bigger ears out of the two animals though. This might help them to hear their surroundings better and to avoid predators better. Also, both animals are very large in size. Even though they have some differences, the mammoth and the elephant are equally “as good” as each other. The mammoth is an ancestor of the elephant and shows how animals can change and advance over the years. This ties into history because the two animals are part of the same family and are a good example of progression.

Midterm Question 8

Midterm Question 7

1. A food hub is a centrally located facility with a business management 

structure facilitating the aggregation, storage, processing, 

distribution, and/or marketing of locally/regionally produced 

food products.

Food hubs are essential to sustainable agriculture and food distribution because they create large, consistent and reliable supplies of locally produced foods from small to mid-sized farms. They also provide the business management systems that most farmers lack and work with farmers to coordinate farm planting schedules, manage product varieties, and help promote variety in local product supplies to result in a consistent year-round production.

2. You can find USDA approved organic poultry at Brooms Bloom Diary (1700 South Fountain Green Road Bel Air MD 21015). You can find the beef at The Mill Of Bel Air (420 North Main Street Bel Air Md 21014). And the closest vegetables to John Carroll are at Brooms Bloom Diary also. 

3. Dear John Carroll,

 I think having a JC Sustainable Food Day would be a good and educational experience for our students and even teachers. Many people these days don't fully understand what they are actually eating and where their food comes from. The teachers and I could help educate students about the processes that are used on the food we eat everyday. It would make them think twice before they buy things at the grocery store or even put them in their mouths. Organic food is a better choice because its natural and doesn't go through processes and chemicals. Organic food is also found locally at places like Brooms Bloom Diary and The Mill Of Bel Air. I know this would help change many students perspectives on the kinds of food they eat each day, without actually thinking about it. In the cafeteria on this day, we could give out samples or let them actually but some of the organic food to eat for lunch that day. While they are eating we could give a presentation(s) on the importance of knowing about your food and making better choices about what you eat.

Midterm Question 6

1.The climate change is caused by human activities that are leading to an enhancement of the greenhouse effect by the emission of  greenhouse gases through fossil fuel combustion and deforestation. 

2. Yes, human activity has been increasing the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (mostly carbon dioxide from combustion of coal, oil, and gas; plus a few other trace gases). 


3. Yes, global temperatures have increased about 0.74°C (plus or minus 0.18°C) since the late-19^thcentury, and the linear trend for the past 50 years of 0.13°C (plus or minus 0.03°C) per decade is nearly twice that for the past 100 years. But the warming has not been globally uniform.


4. Yes global warming is real, but snow storms still occur because the global climate change is not uniform. Some parts still get extreme cold temperatures.
