Weekly Assignment: Is Change a 'Good' or 'Bad' Thing?

Change can either be a completely good thing or a completely bad thing. What makes a good or bad thing is the way you view the subject. You can have a pessimist view or an optimist view. Pessimists take the negative out of everything, but optimists take out the entire positive. Say you experience a change where you lost your job. An optimist would find the positive like getting their dream job.  The pessimist would find the negative like saying I’ll never get another job again; no one will ever want to hire me. I try to make myself in the middle. Whether change is a good thing or a bad thing is the way you take it.

            The origins of art are the basis of our culture and religions. The origins of art change do to the influence of people. As we begin to discover more, the origins of art change. The origins of art are where art all began like the 'Venus of Willendorf'. The origins of art tell us about what are culture was in the past and we past our cultures on past cultures. Art influences our culture enormously, so when we get new origins of art are cultures are influenced, which leads to change. In my view this could actually be a good or bad change. The origins of art could have a good or bad influence on our culture, which could lead to good or bad change. The origins of art the only things that change, there is also agricultural change.  

The agricultural revolution occurred during 8000- 5000 B.C, which was a major change where people started to get involved with agriculture instead of hunting. The agricultural revolution also refers to the Neolithic revolution. The Neolithic revolution is known as the first change into agriculture, which actually change a lot in culture too. Agriculture was very new to most people at this time and people had to adapt to this new way of living. As the people began to adapt many other things began to change also like their culture. The agriculture revolution change the culture into a more civilizer and settle way.The whole agriculture revolution started because the people started to discover and learn more about agriculture. This change of agricultural revolution only occurred basically because people began to learn and discover more about agriculture. In my opinion, this change was very good. the change from hunting to agriculture, made us into what we are today. Without that change, we would still be hunting all day and wouldn't really have a settlement.  

            Most people would look at agriculture back then, and probably say it was a waste of time. Other people looked at the positive like being settle, and worked on with that idea. This made their culture much more peaceful and civilized which was a lot more beneficial. As you see change can be either good or bad; it just depends on the way you look upon that change. Also from this you can take that change occurs from other changes which is a cause and effect nature. The cause and effect nature then directs back to the linear theory of history. This then suggests that change acts as history progresses.

            In my perspective, I think change is an amazing thing. Without change we wouldn’t be able to learn and advance in anything. If people didn’t want change then history wouldn’t progress and we would be stuck in time. Having no change would also go against our belief in linear history. Change is wonderful, and without I’m not sure what I would do. Jesus once said, “"I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18:3. Even in the eyes of God, change is even a good thing.
