Throughout history‚ people have domesticated various species. the reasons for doing this have varied tremendously.

World War one was full of technological advances and I will be talking about three of them in my essay. Each of these advances was used by the Allies or the Central Powers. Both sides were extremely smart and has provided us with new ideas and inventions that we still use today. One tactic that was used was trench warfare.

Thomas Nichols Wendell Berry’s “Mad Farmer liberation Front” makes a strong argument for the simple life‚ preservation of nature‚ and individualism. Wendell Berry clearly states how Americans and people should live their lives. Berry’s points are valid and to the point; he believes that an independent person is a strong person.
