The document describes how three people in a city each focus on producing food, shelter, or clothing, spending one third of their time on each. By specializing and trading their goods, they are able to meet all of their needs more efficiently and prosperously than when each spent equal time on all three tasks. Plato advocated for specialization of labor and trade among citizens with different skills and talents.

Rahiyad rural planning lab 12-12-12
Rahiyad is a village located in Bharuch district of Gujarat, India with a population of around 379 people according to the 2011 census. The village was established around 300 years ago and the main occupation of villagers was previously farming. However, most of the agricultural land was acquired for an industrial estate in 2008, leaving many villagers unemployed. To generate sustainable livelihoods, proposals have been made for projects like vermicomposting, pisciculture using the local pond, and improving basic infrastructure like roads, drainage and electricity in the village. These projects aim to provide employment and skills training to villagers using local resources and with government support.
Thematic Workshops synthesis
The document discusses a proposed FP7 project called "Future Jobs, Better Life" focused on sustainable development. It summarizes the research areas and activities of ENTI, a European network for territorial intelligence. It outlines orientations for the proposed FP7 project, including defining sustainable development indicators, surveying perceptions of quality of life, and inventorying sustainable development partnerships. Workpackages are proposed for webmapping indicators, studying quality of life representations, reducing tensions between economic/social/environmental objectives, and analyzing future jobs trends.

The document discusses inequality measures and entropy as a way to measure inequality. It describes Plato's concept of a city divided between a small wealthy group controlling most resources and a large poor group. It also discusses Pareto distributions and Zipf's law, which show that wealth is often concentrated among a small percentage of people. Entropy measures the level of inequality or concentration of wealth in a population and can help evaluate vulnerability and resilience.

This document describes the STLOCUS method, an innovative 5-stage method for defining micro-spaces or "places" adapted to local action. The method was developed by researchers in Argentina to better understand places and incorporate the concept of place into territorial analysis, intelligence and development. Each of the 5 stages (territorialities and territories, vocations and "pre-places", rationalities/actors, place mapping, synthesis matrix) contributes to precisely defining places and their characteristics in a given territory. The goal is for the defined places to then be useful for various territorial projects, programs, and policies.

The document outlines three axes and their related work packages for a research project. Axis A focuses on life quality, work, and territories in relation to sustainable development. Work packages under this axis will study the evolution of these factors, relevant indicators, and accessibility of indicators for local actors. Axis B concerns job systems, and Axis C concerns career trajectories.

The document encourages individuals to help through gardening, buying local food, and careers in sustainable food and policy.
The Boiling Frog Theory on Population Systems thinkers .docx
The Boiling Frog Theory on Population
Systems thinkers have given us a useful metaphor for a certain kind of human behavior in
the phenomenon of the boiled frog. The phenomenon is this. If you drop a frog in a pot of
boiling water, it will of course frantically try to clamber out. But if you place it gently in
a pot of tepid water and turn the heat on low, it will float there quite placidly. As the
water gradually heats up, the frog will sink into a tranquil stupor, exactly like one of us in
a hot bath, and before long, with a smile on its face, it will unresistingly allow itself to be
boiled to death.
We all know stories of frogs being tossed into boiling water - for example, a young
couple being plunged into catastrophic debt by an unforeseen medical emergency. A
contrary example, an example of the smiling boiled frog, is that of a young couple who
gradually use their good credit to buy and borrow themselves into catastrophic debt.
Cultural examples exist as well. About six thousand years ago the goddess-worshipping
societies of Old Europe were engulfed in a boiling up of our culture that Marija Gimbutas
called Kurgan Wave Number One; they struggled to clamber out but eventually
succumbed. The Plains Indians of North America, who were engulfed in another boiling
up of our culture in the 1870s, constitute another example; they struggled to clamber out
over the next two decades, but they too finally succumbed.
A contrary example, an example of the smiling-boiled-frog phenomenon, is provided by
our own culture. When we slipped into the cauldron, the water was a perfect temperature,
not too hot, not too cold. Can anyone tell me when that was? Anyone?
Blank faces.
I've already told you, but I'll ask again, a different way. When did we become we? Where
and when did the thing called us begin? Remember: East and West, twins of a common
birth. Where? And when?
Well, of course: in the Near East, about ten thousand years ago. That's where our
peculiar, defining form of agriculture was born, and we began to be we. That was our
cultural birthplace. That was where and when we slipped into that beautifully pleasant
water: the Near East, ten thousand years ago.
As the water in the cauldron slowly heats, the frog feels nothing but a pleasant warmth,
and indeed that's all there is to feel. A long time has to pass before the water begins to be
dangerously hot, and our own history demonstrates this. For fully half our history, the
first five thousand years, signs of distress are almost nonexistent. The technological
innovations of this period bespeak a quiet life, centered around hearth and village - sun-
dried brick, kiln-fired pottery, woven cloth, the potter's wheel, and so on. But gradually,
imperceptibly, signs of distress begin to appear, like tiny bubbles at the bottom of a pot.
What shall we look for, as signs of distress? Mass suicides? Revolution? Terrorism? No,

How To Write A Book And Author In An Essay - Airey
The Three-Fifths Compromise of 1787 determined that slaves would be counted as three-fifths of a person for taxation and representation purposes. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the union as a slave state but prohibited slavery in other parts of the Louisiana Territory north of 36° 30'. The Compromise of 1850 included provisions to settle boundaries of Texas, abolish the slave trade in Washington D.C., and pass a more stringent Fugitive Slave Act, in an attempt to balance the interests of slaveholding and free states.

The document discusses steps that could be taken to address the foreclosure crisis in the United States. It notes that foreclosure filings continue to rise drastically due to the recession. One step proposed is improving education for first-time homebuyers so they understand the foreclosure process and what is required to keep a home. The document also argues that adjustable rate loans contributed to the crisis and that current loan modification programs are insufficient. It concludes that a government program offering fixed 2% interest rate loans could help lower monthly payments and make loans more accessible.

The document discusses steps that could be taken to address the foreclosure crisis in the United States. It notes that foreclosure filings continue to rise drastically due to the recession. One step proposed is improving education for first-time homebuyers so they understand the foreclosure process and what is required to keep a home. The document also argues that adjustable rate loans contributed to the crisis and that current loan modification programs are insufficient. It concludes that a government program offering fixed 2% interest rate loans could help lower monthly payments and make loans more accessible.

By specializing and trading, their city becomes more prosperous.
