Essay title: Turning Points in History
A turning point is defined as a period in history when a significant change occurs. Three of these turning points were the neolithic revolution, the age of exploration, and the collapse of communism in the soviet union. The neolithic revolution was the process of shifting from hunting and gathering to farming and starting a civilization. The age of exploration was when the European started to explore the whole world and not just what they already knew. Both of these turning points brought great positive and negitve. The Neolithic Revolution was a defiantly a positive turning point in history because the technology was improved greatly. For example, instead of constantly moving from one location to the other in order to get necessary supplies such as shelter and food, these early people settled down and made homes, where they grow their own crops as shown in document 2. In document three it shows that the revolution is positive because the food is going from wild too domesticated and not having to hunt for it.
