Week 2 weekly

       Many people will ask this popular question, "Is change a bad thing"?  I personally believe that change is not a bad thing.
      If you use the change in art as an example, change is a very good thing. Art began as poor, inaccurate drawings of people and animals on caves. Then art slowly progressed and progressed but declined during medieval times when art wasn't that important. Then during the Renaissance period art skyrocketed and many new masterpieces were made. New art techniques were used too such as depth perception and drawings of humans became much more accurate.
      Change is also a very good thing in the agriculture revolution. In the beginning of time humans were hunters and gatherers and there was no agriculture. Then for reason which are not known but there are many different theories agriculture took off and humans started farming. We created irrigation systems and domesticated animals. It made it easier on humans and made it so they were able to stay and settle in a certain area instead of traveling all over the place following herds of animals.
      Urban planning is another good example that change is a good thing. Urban planning is, "Urban, city, and town planning integrates land use planning and transportation planning to improve the built, economic and social environments of communities. Regional planning deals with a still larger environment, at a less detailed level." (Wikipedia). This allows humans to live in one place for a long amount of time and to settle and to be able to focus on other things instead of just their next meal.
      Change is not always but most of the time a good thing. Good examples of this are the change in art, the agriculture revolution, and urban planning.
