The revolutionary war was a vast event that markedly impacted my life. The war took place from 1775 to 1783. In 1775 war erupted between America and England, but rapidly died out in 1776. That year, New York also claimed its independence. The major general for the entire war was George Washington, which is later why his colleagues named him president in 1789. Alexander Hamilton came to America in 1776, in which he pursued a war to prove orphans were worth more than anyone grasped. There was no…

Nationalism is the patriotic attachment someone feels to their own country or nation, either coming out of a feeling of collective identity or individual feelings. Nationalism was a big topic of discussion during the early twentieth century because it was one of the main causes of both World Wars. In World War One, a Serbian nationalist terrorist group attacked the Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand, when he came to visit Serbia to promote positive relations between their two countries, and…

The fall of the British Empire Every empire will fall eventually, caused by for instance, uprisings, economic difficulties, coups or polarization within the empire. In the midst of the 20th century, the British Empire would soon overextend itself, just as every other empire throughout history have. Yet, there are still signs of the greatest empire in today’s societies. Furthermore, one could interpret that there were five major reasons for the fall of the empire. Firstly, the Indian…

I will be examining the risks of the student loan bubble. Over the last 5 years the American federal reserve bank has increased spending on federal student loans over 1,000%. From $100 billion to over $1 trillion dollars. According to Kate Hardiman from University of Notre Dame “Economists believe the amount of federal money allocated to student loans shown in this graph is highly “unsustainable.””. With the increasingly large amount of risky student loans being given out its not going to be…

Helicopter Money: Arriving Soon in Japan? Foreign exchange markets are arguably the quickest to discount changes in economic management, particularly monetary policy. The recent weakening of the yen versus the US dollar has been some of the most profound since the Plaza Accord of September 1985. It suggests, therefore, that foreign exchange markets are expecting a renewed easing of Japanese monetary policy. Since banks’ deposit rates at the Bank of Japan (BoJ) are already in negative territory,…

Another important aspect of globalization is immigration. Another major change brought about by globalization is immigration. As advances in transportation made the movement of goods easier, they also made the movement of labor easier. Immigrants make up a small, yet increasingly significant portion of the population, increasing from 2.6% in 1960 to 3.3% in 2015 (“International Migrants by Country of Destination, 1960-2015”). Nearly two thirds of them emigrated to Europe and Asia in 2015, while…

While it is good for manufacturing to be able to create goods at the lowest possible expense, the humanitarian implications are a detrimental factor. Even with the opportunities in the United States, after “20 years they (are) much more likely to live in poverty, lack health insurance, and access the welfare system than are native-born Americans.” Although the standard of living for arriving immigrants maybe be better than their home countries, this does not mean that they on an entirely equal…

The Guardian takes science journalism seriously. Maybe it’s because it is so close to the Royal Society of Science, one of two places that shaped how Western Europeans do and talk about science, and the one responsible for elevating Issac Newton to science God and leaving Gottfried Leibniz a broken man who died homeless and intestate. Or maybe the Guardian wants to make sure scientists are heard and understood so others do not suffer because someone is petty, self-interested, or self-righteous.…

Globalization: The pros and cons Being a part of generation that is growing with the trend of the globalization, I felt obligated to recognize the pros and cons of the globalization. We live in the world that we could travel around the globe anytime we wish and shop for any products that we want by a click. We, in the 21st century, are spoiled by all the technological innovations, global trades and international opportunities. Although globalization brought us uncountable benefits and welfare,…
