Why did the people of the Neolithic era domesticate both plants and animals? They needed more reliable sources of food and supplies.
They wanted more supplies to use to conquer other settlements.
They had to find new ways to get more water for their people.
They competed to become more advanced than other groups of people.

Not sure if it’s within 12 months, but you could talk about the spreading of alt-right hate speech and whether that is covered by the right of freedom of speech? or, cover how during the midterm elections in some states many native american populations were declined to vote because they didn’t have the proper id, despite being citizens? also, the death of that journalist last month, who spoke freely and reported about the saudi government and how corrupted it is and was killed because of that (lack of free press/speech). just some ideas for this prompt, i hope at least one of them : )
