Throughout history there have been a series of un-political revolutions that have affected communities socially and economically. These revolutions have changed society forever.


One un-political revolution that impacted society was the Neolithic Revolution. The Neolithic revolution (12,000 years ago) was the “mother” of all revolutions. Once people learned how to domesticate plants and animals, an end was put to hunting and gathering. This was the start of all civilizations. People later on began to trade and sell the products that they made on their farms. If it wasn’t for this other revolutions would have not taken place.The Neolithic revolution was important because it showed people there were other ways to contain food other than having to hunt for it.

 Another revolution that impacted societies was the Industrial Revolution. The industrial revolution took place in Great Britian (1790-1870).This was a period in which rural societies in America and Europe became industrial and urban. Advances in textile machines & steam powered engines created mass production. It increased volume and variety of manufactured goods and an improved standard of living for some, it also resulted in better employment and living conditions for the poor and working classes (Urbanization)

These revolutions have provided ideas and influenced societies over thousands of years.If it wasnt for these revolutions we would not be as advanced today.The Neolithic revolution allowed civilizations to settle down and farm, then later on the industrial revolution allowed machines to produce more and more products.Both of these revolutions changed the way people lived by allowing them to make more out oflife using natural resources.
