(b) Some changes?
(a) No changes?

If you said there were “(c) Lots of
changes,” you were obviously
paying attention during
Big Era Two.
If, on the other hand, you chose
“(a) No changes” or “(b) Some changes,” you must have been out with the flu during Big Era Two.

1. Was farming a good idea?
• “Standard of living” refers to a measure of what we have relative to what we need for subsistence. – For example, we all need adequate shelter appropriate to
the climate where we live. – We need food, clean water, and access to health care. – In addition, we need literacy and education. – To measure standard of living, demographers generally
calculate statistics such as life expectancy, daily caloric intake, and literacy rates.
– Collectively, these statistics give us an idea of how likely people in a given country or region are to have what they need for survival.

Thursday, October 23, 14
1. Was farming a good idea?• “Quality of life” refers to the degree of satisfaction and contentment
we feel about our lives. – Whereas standard of living is an objective measure, quality of
life is more subjective. • For example, some people may have little in the way of
material possessions, yet they may have rich relations with family and friends, enjoy leisure pursuits that cost little, have jobs that provide sufficient food and clothing, and generally feel satisfied with their lives.
• Others may be wealthy and live in large homes full of appliances and gadgets, but they work long hours in demanding careers, eat fast food meals on the run, and have little time for family and leisure.
• These people may feel they have a poor quality of life.• ...

Prior to farming, population size in any one area was limitedby the availability of wild game, grain, berries, seeds, and nuts.
Farming and the large, relatively dependable crops it provides allowed for…
POPULATION INTENSIFICATION
That means population increases
in certain areas. Population in those areas became both larger and denser.
Thursday, October 23, 14
35
At the same time, farmers in some
places were, in spite of population growth,
able to produce SURPLUS food.
What does SURPLUS
FOOD PRODUCTION
mean for a society?

SURPLUS FOOD PRODUCTION…

Make a few notes and
discuss this question with your teacher and fellow students.
What factors do you think
might account for this
increasing rate of change?
You may have noticed that the difference
between the rate of change in Big Era Two and in Big Era Three is
enormous.
Thursday, October 23, 14
58
Come to think of it, things changed REALLY fast In
the 20th century. I wonder what the rate of change is going to be like in the 21st
century?
As you move on to Big Era Four (1,200
BCE to 500 AD), keep your eye on the rate of change. Does it keep increasing?
Level off? Slow down?
Do the factors you have identified as
affecting the rate of change in Big Era Two and Big Era Three still apply?
Thursday, October 23, 14

Well, that’s all for Big Era Three, but
don’t go away.
