    The Crusades is defined as a medieval military expedition, one of a series made by Europeans to recover the Holy Land from the Muslims in the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries. The Question surrounding the crusades is whether it was caused by the devotion of religion or for the desire of political and economical gain. The crusades may of seemed like they were based around the idea of greed throughout the Catholic church but really it was based on God and how he got the people through such tough times.

    Eddie Vedder once said that “If it’s a good cause, I’ll play just about anything”. Following the years during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s this same ideology was presented to the United States. During this time period, the United States sought for more power not only within the nation’s borders, but past the nation’s borders. This eventually led to the rise of imperialism. In addition, the rise of imperialism and various other factors led the United States to make several changes regarding its foreign policy.…

    I believe that the United States became an imperialist nation at the end of the 19th century because Americans wanted to expand overseas with their belief in manifest destiny. The three main factors that started American imperialism were political and military competition including the creation of a strong naval force, economic competition among industrial nations and a belief in the racial and cultural superiority of people of Anglo-Saxon descent. America took advantage of countries that were not completely capable of governing themselves at the moment. I believe the U.S. should not have become an imperialist nation. Instead they should have supported the countries until they could govern themselves or allow them to take a vote on whether or not they wanted to be under the control of the united states.…

    It’s common practice in the human brain to view people and things that are familiar to them as superior. But that does not justify the condemning of others who are viewed as “lesser” people. Specific groups in America have been targeted because of their differences since the formation of the United States. These groups are called out for their variance from norms and are physically and emotionally attacked for their differences. Groups such as women who make up fifty percent of the population in the United States remain oppressed by structures that were put in place hundreds of years ago.…

While there was clear tension between gay rights groups and other activist groups, as well as tension within the gay rights groups, gay rights became a forefront issue.

This shift in principles and how to approach gay rights has endured through the 21st century, and can be completely attributed to…
