In todays world, we still see the Malthusian Flux theory in action. Due to populations continuing to grow, diversity will also grow. Some people will take over other people. That is what we are seeing today as some people still hold on to the idea that they are above some people. Malthusian Flux theory says that people will not have enough resources. So they will to things like trying to take down other people to gain power and resources.
The Malthusian Flux Theory plays a part in perpetuating the problem with our Kahiau Project because of how they are so many people in the world. Humans are the main cause of Co2 in the air and we release a lot of it. The main way that was are able to support so many people on this planet is because of large factories that can mass produce things. These factories release a lot of Co2 into the air and it is causing problems for earth. All because of the Malthusian Flux Theory.

Gandhi's movements is very similar to today's Black Lives Matter movement. In the video I send he wasn't willing to take a blow for the movement, but I meant to say that he was willing. I brought this up because today the Black Lives Matter movement and Gandhi's movements were all forms of peaceful protest. I do not consider the looting to be apart of the Black Lives Matter movement because it is completely counterproductive and goes against the entire movement as well as giving it a bad reputation. Both the Black Lives Matter movement and Gandhi's movement were both anti racism movements that are positively changing todays world.
Gandhi's movement had a lot to do with de-colonization in todays world. The British Union Jack is still in many flags today. One being the original Hawaiian flag. Gandhi's movement started to fight off British colonization just as the American colonizers had. This is what led other countries or native colonists to fight back and de-colonize themselves. Gandhi's movement was a good example of these as well as Hawaii. The official Hawaiian flag has the Union Jack in it, but the Hawaiian people had an idea of their own and brandished themselves a new flag which is locally known as the actual Hawaiian flag along with what represents them. Parkinson, J. (2016, March 24). Which flags still include the union jack? Retrieved June 25, 2020, from https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-35890670 The use of guns germs and steel greatly affected current day life. The cause of how empires were taken over and colonizing over other empires was not based on personal traits, but who acquired guns, germs, and steel first. In my notes, when parts of Peru were getting taken over, the colonizers with guns, germs, and steel caused a huge advantage over the natives. The natives had not yet developed such tools and were really left at a disadvantage. The Europeans didn’t necessarily have any advantageous traits. They just had the geographic advantage.
The agrarian revolution is what eventually led to the creation of guns, germs, and steel. The changes that came with the guns still shape the world today. The current day world super powers are the countries that have the biggest guns and bombs. It is also these counties that were the ones to acquire said guns, germs, and steel first. They are now known as first world countries. All empires were originally built from Agrarian life styles, but it is the scientific revolution that lead us in today's world. Imagine what the world would be like if everyone still thought that the earth was flat. It was during the Scientific revolution that the idea of a round earth became a thing. The switch from agrarian to scientific also led to the enlightenment thinkers. These thinkers and their ideas greatly impacted current day society.
With everything great that came with the Scientific revolution, there also came problems. The Scientific revolution eventually lead to the beginning of capitalism which created poverty. I think capitalism is great however there are many problems with it. A major one being homelessness and poverty. Another problem that the Scientific revolution brought was the use of fossil fuels. Fossil fuels greatly helped start the industrial life style but it is also the reason the earth is getting hotter and hotter every year. Impacts of the Human Species and factors of the Agricultural Revolution & Agrarian Empires6/16/2020 The Agricultural Revolution completely changed the human race. It caused the human race to go from being hunters and gathers to staying in one spot and getting the most out of the land. This included growing crops and it also led to the domestication of certain animals that opposed a benefit to humans. Now that humans could stay in one place, shelters became a lot better as well. These things caused the average lifespan of a human to go up substantially. Agriculture also introduced surpluses of food. This allowed people to work jobs other than acquiring food. In the Spanish Empire, one of these new jobs was mining. Mining for gold and silver created a new currency and gave a new meaning to wealth. A form of wealth other than food is what eventually led to more jobs being created and that is what led to our current day society. And what kickstarted it all was the idea of agriculture.
