    What typically motivates people to do anything? Self-Interest, and America did not fall short of this characteristic throughout the following years: 1895-1920. There were always hidden causes in America’s actions such as land, money, and power, which were strong influences in the young World Power’s influences. This is evident through the imperialistic nature of America always growing and needing somewhere to further its claws, the demand from the ever growing economic system, and the power that radiated from the growing nation, and even the president. Once America became aware of its strength, the wish to ‘expand’ became merely only a part of America’s natural tendency.…

    I think a significant social trend would be the growth of films in the 1920’s. This is where sound in films was introduced to the world for the first time from a film presented as talkies like “The Jazz Singer.” Some key film genres also came to flourish during the decade like horror and romantic comedies. With the introducing of sound in films the concept of the movie appeared immediately. Before sound was introduced silent films were played with music when it was projected in the theater.…

    Americans during the early nineteenth century were trying to reach for compromise to solve their political disputes, but by 1860 compromise seemed unattainable. The years between 1820 and 1860 were a time of vast change for the newly free colonies and each citizen had different ideas on what advancements from there would look like. All the disputes revolved around one thing: slavery. The issue proved to be explosive by 1860 when the nation realized the Compromise of 1820 and the Compromise of 1850, which were passed to bring a sense of unity, seemed to be done in vain as they hardly made a dent in the issues at hand. Voters joined political parties and voted for officials based on their attitudes toward slavery, the issue caused sectional divides between the North and South, and different cultural events…

    Summer-time in the city brought me to different parts of the MTA that I never encountered before. Riding on the A line for the first time, I found myself catching a glimpse of these little fellows as my train pulled into the 14th Street station. Small, whimsical, pudgy (yes, I said pudgy) statuettes depict commonplace figures, such as a grimacing police woman, an officer (guarding a ball of tin foil), a homeless man sleeping under the stairway (the statue was placed there deliberately, I should think) and many more. As I walked by these figures, I found myself thinking back to my high school history class. These figure look a lot like the cartoon newspaper drawings of the late 1800- early 1900s depicting the bankers and politicians…

    In comparison with other countries, America’s history is quite young, yet still very intense. It is common knowledge that this continent was officially discovered (by the modern world) in year 1492 by Christopher Columbus, an Italian navigator and explorer. He was sailing for the Spanish Crown in search of a westward route to Asia (Indies) to access the trade markets of spices and other oriental goods. The discovery of a new world between Europe and Asia, unknown up to that time, led to massive exploration and colonization by countries such as Spain and other European sea powers. This event is often described as the start of the modern era.…

    If it wasn’t for the music back then, the Americans today wouldn’t have a unique approach to music and it would be meaningless. Music today doesn’t differ much from the past, if anything it just evolved. This is a reason why Americans take the art of music so dearly. Music would be one of the few luxuries the colonists had in their time and would change their everyday…

    The first excerpt I have chosen is “Smooth Criminal” by Michael Jackson one of the world’s most popular artist. In this excerpt Michael excites the crowd with his extraordinary dances moves. The music is very upbeat and the beat pretty much stays the same throughout the song. The second excerpt I found was a performance of “It’s Gonna Be Me” by NSync. In this excerpt you can hear the crowd screaming as soon as the group hits the stage.…
