Neolithic Revolution

Explain the Neolithic Revolution and its significance.


Before the Neolithic Revolution there was another different society, these people were call nomads, most of the time they spended hunting and gathering plants, animals, instead they also made simple tools such as, spears and axes made from bone, wood, and stone.
Right after this time, came the Neolithic Revolution in which was a period of farming, domesticating animals, and agriculture was also introduced but in a modern way.
The Neolithic Revolution is a major turning point in human history, because it eventually rise of new civilizations, in order to discover the new world of progress and socialism.

The European Union

Read the link below. Briefly explain the European Union and respond to the following: Why is it a good thing? What will it prevent?

European Union was mostly based on gaining power that U.S had. Europe was not satisfied with the effort they were doing, they needed to have more strenght in order to get absolute power, just like U.S and also try to act like them.
EU wanted to do use the same kind of system U.S now use.
The reason why I don't really think is a good thing is because If someone or a country for example wants to succes, that own person has to make it's own effort to the things, and if something doesn't come all right, so then just try the other way instead. But just knowing that is your own problem and you're the only judge for the mistake taken.
