Please select 2 (two) of the questions below and address them in well thought-out, fact based, argumentative essays. Please be specific, avoid generalities, and stay on topic. Try to organize your essays around a central point you are making, or a position you are taking, on the issues detailed in the questions. which 2 questions would you pick? 1.In the course of the pre-modern period, from pre-history to the early 1800s, the farming systems of agriculture and animal husbandry went through several fundamental changes (“agricultural revolutions”). Each of these featured several factors/aspects that, while common for all agro revolutions, worked in a specific way on each occasion. Identify 3 (three) of these factors which, according to you, have been prominent in the sequence of revolutions, and discuss in detail their characteristics, agency, contribution to the majors shifts in farming, etc. 2.Discuss the role of technology in the evolution of pre-modern farming as a factor affecting any aspect of farming & animal husbandry within the contexts of their human and natural environments. Use examples from at least three different agroecosystems. 3. Compare and contrast two agroecosystems of radically different arrangements. Conceptually speaking, what lessons concerning farming/animal husbandry in general can you derive from the comparison? Can such lessons be derived at all, or is everything in farming agroecosystem-specific? 4. Analyze as many different aspects of the integration of animals and arable as you can think of in two specific agroecosystems. What conclusions can you make about the role of the integration for the overall functioning and performing of the agroecosystems in question? 5. Discuss and explain the role of individualism versus communitarianism in the functioning of two agroecosystems of the pre-modern period. How were they related, why where they related in the specific manner you observe, and what was the impact of that relation on the agroecosystems? 6. Identify and discuss as many aspects as possible of what you would consider the most dynamic, on the one hand, and the most conservative aspect, one the other, of pre-modern agriculture. Make a conclusion about what, in general, pushed farming forward and what held it back. 7. While many of the pre-modern foraging and agroecosystems appear quite sustainable, each of them had built-in features that undermined their sustainability. Analyze two such systems and discuss what made them sustainable, and what worked against their sustainability. 8. To what extent were pre-modern agroecosystems products of their societal environments (in the broad sense) and to what extent were they primary agent in changing these environments? Take a position on this debate by discussing at least three specific cases and derive a conclusion.

Direction: In the following question, there is a statement followed by two conclusions numbered I and II. You have to assume everything in the statement to be true, then consider the two conclusions together and decide which of them logically follows beyond a reasonable doubt from the information given in the statement.Statement:The Chief Minister emphasised the point that the Government will try its best for the development of farmers and rural poor.Conclusions:I. The former Government had not tried seriously for the development of these people.II. This Government will not try seriously for the development of urban poor.

Which of these statements do you agree with the most? (select one)All economic activity (trade and production of goods, services, and labor) should be directly controlled by the government.Parts of the economy should be entirely controlled by the government (such as energy, manufacturing, or transportation) in addition to widespread regulationGovernment should encourage the growth of specific industries that it deems important to the national economy, in addition to widespread regulationMost economic activity should remain unregulated, but the government should still step in to prevent monopolies and protect labor.All market activity should be free and unregulated, and borders should be open for the trade of goods, services, and labor.
