The Story Of Crop Circles

Across the Great State of California, we have begun to see a revolution in a way many have not seen in quite some time. No, I'm not referring to some great political or religious revolution. No, what I’m talking about is an agricultural revolution that concentrates of not only bringing back true fresh produce, but also educating the youth of the state about agriculture as well. You may ask yourself, who is in fact leading this revolution?

Agricultural Revolution occurred in many different regions of the world, including Fertile Crescent and Mesoamerica. Fertile Crescent, where the revolution first occurred in 9000-7000 B.C.E, was located in present-day Iraq, Syria, Israel, Palestine, and Southern Turkey. Mesoamerica, located in present-day Mexico, had the revolution occurred about 6000 years later since the agriculture started in the Fertile Crescent. Numerous differences between two different regions from different hemispheres show why Fertile Crescent had advantages over Mesoamerica in terms of Agriculture.

Any discussion on this conspiracy, however, will not be complete without talking what went and goes on in Roswell, New Mexico, or better known as Area 51. Area 51 is known to be a US Military Base where 75 miles away, there reported to be a UFO crash landing on July 2, 1947 that left an exceptional amount of debris all over the area. The Roswell Army Air Field reported that they recovered a “flying disc” but a few hours after this information was released, the government immediately said it was a “weather balloon.” RAAF even reported having recovered alien bodies but as expected, the government denied again and simply stated that it was the military men’s trauma from accidents. Countless witnesses during and after the reported crash date have confirmed seeing flying objects, crop circles and usual activity within the area. Area 51 is now conspired to be a place where they examine evidences of alien bodies, UFO crashes, etc, but the government refuses to confirm and have denied these allegations. More than sightings, as promised, let me take you in on one of the craziest abduction stories.

In the short story “The Harvest” by Amy Hempel, an unnamed narrator is in a horrible car accident, where her leg is permanently disfigured. The story takes place after the accident, when the narrator is attempting to process the life changing event that’s just happened to her. The story is broken up into two parts,in the first part she describes the accident and the aftermath - the accident, the hospital, the recovery. But she opens the second half of the story by admitting that not everything we just read is factual. The struggle she is having throughout the story is to cope with and understand her accident, but her emotional distress inhibits that. The narrator conveys her instability and vulnerability that the accident caused in through the ways she decides to alter the details of her story. Although she goes through the process of reflecting on why she does this, she doesn’t come out the other side feeling less confused about why her accident happened to her, or any less unstable and vulnerable.

Farmers did well after the Civil War and into the 1880s with plentiful rainfall and easy credit from banks. In the 1890s, however, American farmers suffered from drought, poor harvests, restrictive tariff and fiscal policies, low commodity prices, and competition from abroad. A downward swing in the business cycle exacerbated their plight, and many farmers in the Plains filed for

In 'Industrial Corn-Destroying Our Health & Environment ", Pollan points out that zea is a common crop that grows into corn. It is the most commonly planted ccereal crop, and serves, Pollan argues, to serve political interests rather than authentic human needs. Taxpayers pay farmers to grow corn, despite the already plentiful growth of the crop, and zea/ corn has become indispensable to the American food sector. This is so because corn is cheap and therefore it benefits the govenment to produce it. To that end, everything and everyone, from animals to humans, is fed on a steady diet of corn.

In Sven Beckert’s book, Empire of Cotton: A Global History, Beckert explains what he believes truly led to the growth of the industrial revolution and capitalism. The majority opinion is that the rise of capitalism was a consequence of the combination of free trade and want for democracy. Beckert argues that without the commodity of cotton, these things would have become obsolete, because this object is what truly shifted war capitalism into industrial capitalism.

Before Revolutionary America, there were a large majority of people who made a living as farm owners, tenants, or hired hands, in which unskilled labored supported such the agricultural workers. (Carrell & Heavrin, 2013). Also, the craftspeople were carpenters, shipwrights, sailmakers, weavers, masons, barrel makers, glass makers, tailors, and shoemakers. It has further been mentioned that prior to trade unions, these workers joined together to maintain monopolies. The first craftspeople were known to be free laborers, which were immigrants who paid their way to the New world, in which they learned certain trades and passed them along to their children (Carrell & Hearvin, 2013). It has also been stated how indentured servants and slaves who

Written by the Roman historian Tacitus, the Agricola chronicles the life of his father-in-law Gnaeus Julian Agricola while also covering the ethnography and history of ancient Britain and Rome. After the assassination of Domitian in 96 AD, Tacitus used his freedom to publish his work. Tacitus describes the character of his father-in-law, by showing how he grew up in a household that encouraged the study of philosophy and attended to matters of state with honesty and competence. Tacitus explores different themes in the book including the history, ethnography, and eulogy of Agricola.

In Empire of Cotton: A Global History, Sven Beckert narrates the beginning of the Industrial Revolution of Europe through the history of cotton and its production. The cotton commodity reinvented the manufacturing system of the late seventeenth and eighteenth century, even being traced back to the Bronze Age and pushed towards modern capitalism. According to Beckert, the cotton industry became an empire itself as it depended on fundamentals of “plantation and factory, slavery and wage labor, railroads and steamships, on a global network of land, labor, manufacture, and sale.” This industrialization of cotton led to the enslaving of Africans for labor, the advancing of technological inventions, and a strong influence of capitalism.

Rock and roll was a new movement with some specific inspirations. In fact, in 50's and 60's United States faced some many problems into their society. One speciality of rock and roll was to express any kind of subjects that we can't before.Mentionned in the article Farming in the 50's and 60's, Ganzel reveals that ''The music captured the range of emotions and concerns of the 60s generation. At times, the performers seemed to both lead and follow its audience into new forms of expression.'' A very critical opinion of rock and roll was the music in 50's and 60's needed to wider appeal. Also, rock and roll was a traditional and rural music from black. Additionally, Black were immigrant to United States cause of colonization. Black were people

The Americas were the best place to live in Era 2. The Americas had mass farming, many important natural resources and a social hierarchy. These advantages would have supported a much easier, safer environment in which to live. While there were some disadvantages to living in a larger, more structured environment, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Others may argue that Oceania or Sub Saharan Africa were a better place to live, however living in the Americas with its food production and natural resources would have been a better quality of life.

The author of the book, “The Fate of the Fruit that Changed the World” (2008), Dan Koeppel, who is a famous journalist describes in a fascinating way banana’s cultural importance, threats associated with the crops of banana in the future and banana’ history. Banana is a very delicious fruit and is eaten all over the world. Banana is one of the world’s fourth largest harvests in the world. Dole and Chiquita are eminent American based distributors and producers of banana. They are claiming to produce the banana on low price. In this book, Koeppel discusses the risks associated to the plantation of banana around the world. He also discusses the fact that due to blight, the plantation of banana is destroyed (Koeppel, 2008). He points out that the farmers and the producers have no insight at all regarding this matter (Koeppel, 2008).

In this world, there are so many mysteries, secrets, and phenomenon that have not been explained. For the last few decades, crop circles have been appearing all around the world, yet we do not have a clear scientific explanation for them. Crop circles are defined as some kind of circular geometric patterns on crops such as wheat, barley, and corn, (Meder 2007). They are made within a very short period of time without any mistakes. There are over 12,000 circles found with complicated patterns and large in scale, (Crystalinks 2009) Many of the crop circles were found to be a manmade, but we cannot conclude that rests of them are hoaxed by man. People are still debating on this mystery circle, yet there are no answers. This paper will explain

In this unit’s text, we learned about modernization of society and how agriculture permitted nomadic hunt-and-gather groups to become stabilized and centralized in one location. The text and supporting video clips introduced both positive and negative anthropological effects of the rise of agriculture. Three positive outcomes include stabilization, improved nutrition, and food surplus. For each of these positive instances, there is an alternate and negative impact as well: habitat destruction, feast and famine cycles, and health concerns. This essay will briefly expound on each positive outcome and its counterpart, and will relate the sustainable agrarian achievements of the people of the Gamo Highlands to these effects.
