I heard a short sentence on Facebook from a young man “Waking up later wastes the morning, but getting up earlier destroys all the day.” I know he was kidding, but when I back to think of that, I’m totally agree with what he said. In China, there is a morning class called “morning reading” begging at 7am. Every students need to come to the class and do exercises after that class. Therefore, since middle school, I’ve hate the morning when I have to wake up early for that class and do that stupid…

Historically, war has produced a culture of nationalist fervor, and overwhelming disdain for the opposition. In the period leading up to, and during the Second World War, there was rapidly growing anti-Japanese sentiment within the American psyche. Our people and government took aggressive actions against the Japanese, both inside and outside of our borders. Japanese people were depicted with overtly stereotyped caricatures in the media, and racial slurs were commonplace in our vernacular. These…

Throughout the myriad of problems that exist in South American and Central American countries, one problem seems to be common for all Latin American countries: poverty. For centuries, most countries in Latin America have been in the same economic state. They have enormous separations of class. Usually, the countries have no middle class, only the extremely rich and the extremely poor exist. Now, the debatable topics in this is what exactly the source of this poverty is.

The history of the European presence in the Americas is usually written in gleaming terms.

The European expansion into the New World was no different in that in order to take advantage of the America’s fertile virgin land first the natives must…

The availability of resources is also an advantage of globalization, because natural resources are not always prevalent in all countries. Movement of goods in and out of countries stimulates the global market. The United States also has a core competency in technology and therefore can send jobs to countries like China has a competency in cheap…

the first time American states have denied basic human rights to individuals. Around the 1800s and up until today, people of color have been stripped of their basic rights. Before the civil rights movement starting popping up in the 60s, people of color were labeled as “colored” from their white counterparts and not allowed to use the same space as the “whites.” The similarities between both issues are frightening close. In an article written by Doctor Comrade, he states, “…and it 's hard not to…

Hollywood produces global blockbusters that are emphatically advertised to people in all walks of life.

people of color, by humiliating, harassing, and arresting them. It is not hard to perceive how people from different countries and skin colors are being racially profiled and accused of criminal acts. It is truly ironic how the "United" States of America is only united when it comes to certain ethnicities. Adnan R. Khan argues against racial profiling in his article, Close Encounters with US Immigration, describing this type of profiling as “singling out people as suspicious solely because of…

had a dream to stop segregation in the late 1900’s but in reality we are living in the same time that he was living. The reason why is because the U.S is trying to keep others who aren’t American citizen out of the state which is basically segregation. The immigrants have been promised “citizenship” but they have waited too long. MLK said, “justice too long delayed is justice denied’. Has the citizens from other countries been denied a chance to become U.S citizens…
