People need food to eat, clothes to wear and a house to live in. They work to make a living to buy these things, or they make them. In some cultures people make their own clothes from wool they get from the sheep they raise. Others grow cotton and spin it into cloth for themselves or to sell to businesses which spin it and make it into clothing. Farmers provide most grain and meat to factories which process it into food for distribution through grocery stores.
People can choose to pay rent or buy or build their own houses.
These are some ways people meet their basic human needs. Some people experience better standards of living, they eat better food, wear nicer clothes and live in bigger houses than other people. While people can be happy with less, those who do not meet all three basic needs may not survive. The Battle of Gonzales on October 1, 1ired was the first battle of the Texas Revolution. Mexican forces were ordered to take a brass cannon from the town of Gonzales to San Antonio.
