Answer 1

Basically it's asking to write an essay about how civlization developed from an uncivilized Nomadic era to village living to how we live today (modern society). Here;s how I'd start your essay.

Answer 2

Any GOOD essay answers 5 questions - who, what, where, when and why.

Then its the composition of an essay;

Introduction - 1 paragraph - a quote or statistical data is a good start.  Basically introducing to the reader what he is about to learn from your essay, through your research.

Body - As many paragraphs to answer your who, what , when, where and whys.  Usually a good essay has 2, 3, or 4 paragraphs, enough to explain your theme/plot/basic ideas/information you learned about your subject.

Conclusion - 1 paragraph describing briefly what you have told in your body of your essay - kinda of a re-cap.

That's the basic essay composition - now for your subject -
