While reading WW, I was in shocked.  After taking a few history classes in community colleges, I though of history being repetitive, like going in circle.  After reading the prologue, I started to think about how we came to exist.  At the same time it is a bit depressing because we are using a lot of our natural resources, sadly we some habitats have been in danger of extinction because we have been wasteful.  In part one -First Things First- states that we have overusing our resources.  It also shows that thousands of years ago, earlier civilizations had different use of their natural resources.  In the Americas and some countries in Europe, Asia, and Africa, were agricultural societies.
