Paragraph 2
The vast majority of farmers lived in permanent settlements ; only a few were nomadic shepherds. Settling down caused most people's turf (영역) to shrink dramatically. Ancient hunter-gatherers usually lived in territories covering many dozens and even hundreds of square miles. 'Home' was the entire territory, with its hilss, streams, woods and open sky. Peasants, on the other hand, spent most of their days working a small field or orchard, and their domestic lives centred on a cramped structure of wood, stone or mud, measuring no more than a few dozen feet - the house. The typical peasant developed a very strong attachment to this structure. This was a far-reaching revolution, whose impact was psychological as much as architectural. Henceforth, attachment to 'my house' and separation from the neighbours became the psychological hallmark of a much more self-centered creature.
Things to Discuss
1 Regarding the paragraph 2 in the chapter Building Pyramids, Jei's opinion in the previous class came to my mind. She mentioned that the reason why people today travel leaving their homes is because nowadays' home territory is highly limited after the advent of agricultrual revolution. Related to this idea, do you think that deep inside human minds, they desire to expand their territory.
2 People in Korea are struggling to own their houses. The attachment to house is inevitable? Or is this unique culture only to Korean people? If so, why do Korean feel obssessed to possessing a house?
