Read the passage below and answer the question.
Once people had developed food production to the point of being able to store surpluses, the human population began to grow more rapidly; from 8000 to 3000 BCE it increased from 6 to 50 million. Some people began to live in cities of 10,000 to 50,000 inhabitants. In cities, people created a whole new range of ideas and structures that came to be called “civilization” (from the Latin civitas, for city) by Western historians. Among the characteristics of “civilization” usually cited are: storage of food, development of a priestly caste, central authority, nonagricultural specialists, social stratification, increased trade, development of writing, tribute forcibly collected from outlying farmers, development of soldiers and standing armies, monumental public works, and increased gender inequality.

Read the passages below and answer the question.
Passage 1
The Agricultural Revolution certainly enlarged the sum total of food at the disposal of humankind, but the extra food did not translate into a better diet or more leisure. Rather, it translated into population explosions and pampered elites. The average farmer worked harder than the average forager, and got a worse diet in return.
From: Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens (New York: Harper, 2015), 72.
Passage 2
Note: The author of this passage considered civilized life a direct result of agriculture.
Civilized life is secure life. At the most basic level this means security from the sudden destruction that village communities might suffer. Civilized life gives the feeling of permanence. It offers regularity, stability, order, even routine. Plans can be made. Expectations can be realized. People can be expected to act predictably, according to the rules.
The first cities were able to attain stability with walls that shielded the inhabitants from nomads and armies, with the first codes of law that defined human relationships, with police and officials that enforced the laws, and with institutions that functioned beyond the lives of their particular members. City life offered considerably more permanence and security than village life.
From: Kevin Reilly, The West and the World: A History of Civilization (New York: Harper Collins, 1989).

so i wrought this in reply to a friend of mine who also thinks that everyone is equal
I agree with you. Because even if trump and a few...... oopsy moments, he still is a human being and still deserves the opportunity to prove himself normal or maybe even worthy. which brings me to the fact that even if you wanted to vote for trump/biden people should not be accusing trump supporters they don't care about blm or that biden supporters don't care about the police. Voting for who you think should be the next president is your choice and people have zero right to judge people based on that. So what if trump doesn't go around saying how he loves blm or he will stand up for LGBTQ+, that doesn't mean he doesn't care about them nor does it mean he is trying to hurt that type of community. So to all of you who think so, don't because every human on this earth deserves a chance to speak their opinion. Thank you> madilburow27
