Read the following article: https://uvamagazine.org/articles/the_trouble_with_civilization
(Links to an external site.)
What are some of the criticisms that the article offers about the traditional view of the rise of civilization? What kinds of trouble arise when permanent settlements and cities grow larger? Be sure to address questions of health, environment, and social issues. Finally, in your opinion, is civilization worth the cost?
In a brief essay (approximately 750-1,000 words, at least 5 well-developed paragraphs, MLA style), offer a response to the article that address the questions above.
Be thorough, be specific, and most of all, think for yourself. Apply your own analytical and critical skills to the exercise.
I do not want a cover page. Your essay should simply put your name, my name, class and section, and date in the upper left-hand corner, and then center your title. If you are unfamiliar with MLA style, the Library/Learning Commons on any FSCJ campus is an excellent resource. You will submit your essay via Canvas.
