2015-10-13 16:11:22 UTC

Right now, Americans are throwing away way too much edible food, because they want to eat the "freshest food". In the nmmmm times, they were suffering the lack of food. If we keep throwing it away we might be led to the same problem that the Mesopotamians had. For example, Americans (everybody will probably throw away a tomato which is just a few days old.

Choices for the problem

We are going to plant crops even if the land does not agree to farming because of our shortage of food. Also, if we want a better farming place, we can just move to the Tigris river. These are the only ways to change the village.

Pros and Cons of Decision B (Moving to the Tigris River)

sivakumar_shaashwath — 2015-10-14 17:17:49 UTC

Going to the Tigris River is our best choice, because, it is an easier way to farm. The land is easier to farm than the one we live on now. This choice could also be a bad choice because the river flood unpredictably.

Problem and soultion

xu_feiran — 2015-10-14 17:39:42 UTC

We are running out of food, and we only have four ideas. We can increase the chance to plant crops. Even if the land is very difficult to plant crops. We could move out to the Tigris River where the land is rich. But has uncontrollable floods. We can go raid other villages for food. We can also abandon farming all together and back to hunting and gathering. These are the four choices we have to save the village.

Why decision A is a bad idea and why it is also a good idea.(Planting more)

Decision A is a bad idea because just planting crops doesn't fix anything, you need fertile soil, you can't do that on dry land. Why decision A is good is because they can plant more crops and will increase the production. (more food)

Pros and Cons of Decision C

ambrose_bryan — 2015-10-14 17:56:08 UTC

Decision C could be a bad idea because raiding other villages don't solve anything. If you fail you wont get any food and only be left with death and injuries. The good things are if you do.
