Good morning, teacher. In the following presentation, I will talk to you about food engineers and their importance to society. Food engineering produces what our country eats.

Is Face-to-Face Learning More Effective Than Online Classes?

Fourteen months ago, a new method of teaching, online classes, was broadly introduced across all educational levels. Since then, a significant debate has emerged regarding the effectiveness of face-to-face classes compared to online learning. Personally, I believe that face-to-face classes yield better results and are far more productive than online classes.

One reason for my stance is that, as a student, I find online classes tempting for multitasking. While I may be listening to the class, my focus is divided. Additionally, certain subjects, such as science, are not conducive to online learning. Beyond theory, practical application is crucial for understanding scientific concepts....

Foundations of Early Civilizations

Pastoralism is the domestication and herding of animals such as goats, sheep, and cattle. It emerged once humans established themselves in one place for extended periods, a process known as sedentism. The slash-and-burn technique, where ash from burned trees fertilized the soil, was another early agricultural method.

Defining Civilization and State

A civilization is a complex society characterized by agricultural surpluses, which enable specialized labor, social hierarchies, and the establishment of cities. Key markers include:

• Writing systems
• Developed religious systems
• Sophisticated architecture
• Centralized political power

A state is an organized community governed by a single political structure.
