Political, economic and social conditions have often led to turning points that have changed the course of history for nations and peoples. Both Neolithic Revolution and Industrial Revolution are the major turning points in human society and world history.
Before the Neolithic Revolution, people were most nomads, they spent most of their times hunting and gathering. Jobs were divided between men and women, which men would hunt animals and women gathering fruits and berries. They lived like that until about 10000 BCE. They started to improved crops and adapt animals. The Neolithic Revolution was a basic change in the way people lived. It changed from hunting and gathering to agriculture and the rise of civilizations. These changes were helpful because it created a constant rate of food source. These developments allow for a more complex society, from small society to large society, and possibility of urbanizations. People settled down and start forming their own nations, villages and cities. People have their own jobs, this also led to the inventions that great people invented which had changed the world. .
Another turning point in human history was the Industrial Revolution. Back in seventeenth century, most people in Europe lived on small farms and produced most of their needs by hands. After a century later, many people moved to cities where their needs were produced by complex machines. The Industrial Revolution began in Great Britain and it spread to other countries around the world. The Industrial Revolution is also a major turning point in world history, many new technologies were invented, the steam engine was the power source of the Industrial Revolution, and it provided industrial development of Europe. As the technology grew, people started to open factories; however, this led to some negative ways to society and people. As the factory system increased, they need more people to work in the factories.
