Ap World History Green Revolution
The Green Revolution had a positive, negative, or possibly both consequences on the way human beings have evolutionized through out the years. Each of these documents specifically proves that whether good or bad the different societies have been able to incorporate a little from what the Green Revolution has left them into their daily lives. The Green Revolution on one-side has ignited the revolution for new ideas and traditions. On the other side the Green Revolution has become a form of destructing the true and only roots for most farmers.

Documents 2, 3, 5, and 6 all show that the Green Revolution caused a form of prosperity. Document 2 proves that as the Green Revolution increased the population as well as food supply from 1950 to present date. If you recall from 1930-1945 there was a stop to the growth of food supply and population because of the Great Depression and World War 2; when the Green Revolution began in 1945 little by little food supply began to show growth and populations expanded meaning that many countries especially the United States and Germany that were greatly affected were able to prosper and use the Green Revolution as a way to continue expanding. Germany, United States, and multiple other countries’ economy were able to flourish and become among the most important countries. This document is a form of a non-biast opinion that clearly state true facts and is not defending either sides; it is proving the growth. Document 3 is an opinion of a person who has truly been able to see the effects of The Green Revolution; Harry Truman is making a reference to peace-loving people meaning that he believes that his country can become a better place by the new innovations which are ways in becoming into a united country and family. Harry Truman’s point of view is a reference to a biast opinion because it is the opinion from someone whose job to make it seem as if everything is sugar coated and everything is perfect meaning that his motive is

    The food’s first transformative role was the basis for the formation of entire civilizations. As Standage points out, the taking in of agriculture enabled new settled lifestyle and put mankind on the path to the modern world. However, he then is quick to mention that although the staple crops aided the formation of the early civilizations, barley and the wheat in the east, rice and millet in Russia, potatoes and maize in America, they were not simply revealed by chance. Instead, they came out through a multifaceted process of co-evolution because preferred traits were chosen and propagated by the early farmers. Adoption of agriculture as a story is the narration of how early genetic engineers came up with both powerful and new tools that made progress itself possible. In the process man changed plants and eventually the same plants, in turn, transformed people.…

    Interaction between humans and the environment has always had a great importance in the development of humankind; according to Marx, what differentiates humans from other animals is the fact that humans can transform their surroundings to suit their needs, through labor. The Green Revolution is not the exception to that. In times of need the human being manipulated its environment to be suitable for its development, however, the question lingers, how efficient was it, how positive? The Green Revolution, from 1945 to the present, was motivated by the need to increase the production of food to supply for the increasing demand as population grew, to promote national self-sustainability in terms of food. However, during that period the effect of the Revolution have been detrimental to the environment and society: they have damaged agricultural diversity and heritage, damaged the lands, and put at risk food security; also, they have widened the gap between the very rich and the very poor, monopolizing the food industry.…

    Quite often, environmental issues are discussed in terms of economic, political and/or social implications. Ethical issues, fundamental to the topic, are usually ignored. Failure to consider these issues is often understandable when the nature of pragmatic politics and economics is understood. Ethical positions are most often phrased as questions asking how we, as humans, relate to other humans individually, to other humans as groups, to other humans still to be born, to other forms of life and/or to entire sets ranging from ecosystems to the entire planet. Questions as to humans’ relations with nature are often raised as well as the relationship between technology and progress – for example, are gains from technological innovations mainly accrued by the wealthy and often at the expense of poor or dispossessed peoples? To what extent do technological innovations generate serious social and ecological problems? Is progress in meeting human needs always at the expense of nature? Is the biotechnology revolution in agriculture in the best interest of both humanity and nature? Questions such as these will be dealt with as our course proceeds during the semester.…

    Throughout history, multiple changes have occurred in the evolution of food production and reliance of food supply. Some of the major changes occurred during the Neolithic Revolution and the Agrarian (Agricultural) Revolution. These upgrades in food production had political, social and economic effects on societies and regions. The Neolithic Revolution fundamentally changed the way people lived by shifting from food-gathering to agriculture to permanent settlements, the establishment of social classes, and the eventual rise of civilizations. The Agricultural Revolution was a period of agricultural development between the 18th century and the end of the 19th century, which saw a massive and rapid increase in agricultural productivity and vast improvements in farm technology.…

    There were many different features of the Agricultural Revolution during the eighteenth-century. All of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution had effects both economically and socially. One of these things was crop rotation. Crop rotation led to the social effect of healthier animals and more of those animals which led to healthier people because of their improved diet. Economically crop rotation led to new crops that were ideal for feeding livestock, which made it easier to feed animals. This, in turn, made it a lot cheaper to feed animals and it allowed there to be larger herds of cattle which produced more meat, milk, animals for work, and more crops for people to buy and sell. Another feature of the Agricultural Revolution was the enclosure movement for fencing off private property which eventually led to proletarianization. Socially this made it so that the peasants no longer had access to the common land which meant that they no longer had a place to graze their livestock or farm. Economically this led to market-oriented estate agriculture where the wealthy own the land at it is worked by peasants in return for wages. A third aspect of the Agricultural Revolution was the improvement of farming techniques. Because of the population increase, an increase of farming was needed for both a needed increase in food production and employment opportunities. Socially the effects were that the English and Dutch became known for their new farming techniques and became models for other countries to base themselves after. Economically the new methods of farming resulted in more land being left open for use, better crop production and higher output of crops, and better quality livestock. A closer look at all three of these aspects of the Agricultural Revolution shows how much they had an impact both socially and economically.…

    Whatever produce man deserves they can get it at any store, be it crops we have grown, meats from animals we breed, or chemicals needed to produce pills. We are untouchable, and we can grow and provide for ourselves without limits, we believe there is no termination to the amount of intelligence, productivity and self-advancement that can be fulfilled. In recent years, evidence has shown that man's actions towards the environment is critical. First came global warming due to industrial activities that our modern civilization depends upon, then came species that are endangered or rare due to man having total control of land. Evidently, man’s culture is currently affecting the nature we live in, the current personification of humanity, which is currently at flaw, but man believe to be successful comes with a strand attached. We can choose to stay on the same path we are currently in until the world is destroyed. Most of us are aware of the effects industrialization has on the planet but part of humanity has given up hope that the world we live in would ever be saved and we lost interest in…

    Americans are very aware of the importance of “going green” as it reduces pollution and protects the earth from global warming. Going green generally includes recycling, buying environmentally-friendly products, energy efficient electronics, and living off the land. However, the reality is there are many obstacles to going green; the primary of which is cost effectiveness (Outka, 2012). The United States is currently in an economic crisis, and most Americans are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to pay their bills. Therefore, when faced with having to purchase an expensive item such as an appliance or automobile it is difficult to look beyond the price tag at the going green investment. While most citizens believe they are making a difference by recycling, the truth is a large percentage of our curbside recycling is either burned or sent to landfills because it has been contaminated due to ineffective recycling procedures, or it ends up traveling long distances, which increases the cost and air pollution (Kaiser, 2010). All of these facts prove that going green is not cost effective because the products are expensive and it take time (sometimes years) to see a savings or value, curb side recycling is wasteful, and recycling cost a substantial amount more than trash disposal.…
