    This image appears to be depict the Massacre of Cholula from the perspective of the Tlaxcaltecas. We see that most of the Cholula people were easily killed and dismembered by the powerful Spanish warriors in their metal armor. The artist represent the Spanish forces and what appears to be a few Tlaxcalteca soldiers as valiant heros conquering a weaker undeserving people. The Indian at the far right appears to be jumping of the pyramid as if to commit suicide. The portrayal of the Cholula committing suicide supports the idea that they were weak cowards and also takes some of the blame off the Tlaxcalteca for the ultimate destruction of Cholula.…

    For example, in the North Korea documentary, one former officer draws a center that teaches children and soldiers how to behave and serve their country. This also takes on a toll on how they view the world itself. For instance, the idea of democracy, in the people’s mindset, is appalling and loathsome in order to “uphold” their country’s honor and identity towards the world. To conclude, overall, I believe that North Korea’s status as a totalitarian state is advocated because of its immense amount of power that encumbers its citizens in terms of…

After the Second Great War, South Korea become stronger through means of production and population increase along with support from the United States and the U.N.

    While attending the Fresno Art Museum I came across a specific piece by Hung Liu, titled Huang-Jun: Imperial Warriors drawn in a oil canvas in 2001. This painting depicts a group of possibly Chinese soldiers. The group of soldiers seem to be part of the medical staff during a time of war since they’re all wearing red crosses on their chests and the background of the image seems harsh. Hung Liu is no strange to drawing paintings related to this subject since she is known for drawing about things related to life and war is certainly something related to life. Hang Liu was probably influenced to paint in this form because she lived through many hardships related to her themes as a young child in China.…

    America shouldn’t aid the spread of democracy. Pushing pushing democracy onto another country is no different the pushing communism. Both are ideologies about how to make a free society but neither are universally applicable. Given that democracy has worked out great for The United States of America and liked minded countries, while communism has had its troubles, my core issue lies with the inconsistent results and the various fall outs that come with branding ourselves as crusaders of democracy. The US has been unsuccessful in reordering governments to fit a democratic system.…

    Picture this: you’re walking through what I can only describe as the equivalent to your neighborhood park, its below freezing, children are whining, adults are whispering, and all of a sudden you’re face to face with a stone-cold troop of soldiers. If you have ever heard of or visited the National Mall you most likely have the basic understanding, that it is not in fact a mall, but rather a national park in downtown Washington D.C. The National Mall is unique in the sense that it is home to some of the nation’s most cherished memorials.…

    In 1950, the Korean War began as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or North Korea, invaded the Republic of Korea in the south across the 38th parallel.

Correspondingly, General Douglas MacArthur had been named commander of the U.N. forces by the United Nations Security Council.
