I believe that the Polynesian Expansion was more advanced than the Khmer Empire due to the facts that Polynesia’s geography, religion and traditions/cultures were more beneficial. Polynesia is geographically further away from its main enemies as it is made up of a cluster of small scattered islands. The Khmer Empire is based on the mainland of Asia where they were in frequent contact with other competing tribes and groups of people who would try and fight them for their land. Polynesia is based…

The United States takes pride in the amendments it has created to provide freedom for all citizens, but what if the government is more controlling than it leads the world on to believe? The right to peacefully assemble, freedom of speech and press is sacrificed for the government to manipulate the people and promote nationalism. A protest at Kent State puts the theory of right to peacefully assemble and freedom of speech into question. On May 4th of 1970 this college becomes a killing ground…

As a way to peacefully protest the unjust involvement of American troops within the “Vietnamese Conflict” a movement swept the nation known as the “Hippies”. The Hippies used peaceful protest to try and spread love and express the immoral conducts of the United States government, unfortunately this peaceful movement led to violent revolts and persecution of the young adolescent protestors by the American protection services. This use of unnecessary violence and prosecution, by the American…

I am taking this class because I’m interested to learn more about Asian American health issues. Before taking this class, I didn’t know Asian Americans had genetic health problems. Other than my uncle who passed away when he was young from eating too much sugar and dying from diabetes, my family has always been healthy. Family members who have died, have died from a genocide, natural causes, or a car accident. I’ve always been healthy my entire body which may be unsurprising because I’m young.…

Time is fluid, as are the actions of people, that’s what makes writing a piece about a decade that truly encompasses it impossible. There is always something before, something that inspired people, that challenged their thoughts and brought them to where they are. Therefore, I wanted to show through this decade that the world is made up of building blocks one thing leading to another. You’re about to read a microscopic look at the decade of the 70s, there is always more going on, beyond what I…

Stalinism, of course, generated in the Soviet Union (1922-1991), another communist state that existed at the same time as the Khmer Rouge. The difference being that the Soviet Union lasted much longer. Which brought up the question, how did two governments with the same ideals, occurring during the same time period have drastically different…

stay for another 15 days. Once the fifteen-day extension expired, I left the country to start the process all over again. The majority of the time, I took a bus to the border, crossed into Cambodia, and then turned right back around and re-entered Thailand. After a few visa runs, I smartened up, flew to Cambodia, and procured a one-year, multiple-entry tourist visa. Back in the late 90’s it was much easier to obtain this type of visa and I took advantage of this. With a one-year,…
