First Punic War

Between the 1090’s and 1300, Europe bared witness to generationally occurring Holy Wars. The movements were, and still are, primarily deemed as Christian influenced persecutions, but if examined closer it is the use of propaganda and position that is found behind the push of the crusades. Holy men—who at times paired with ruling monarchs—pursued papal power and extended territories in the name of God.

This gives insight on to what may have happened to the person and if the area is safe enough to approach them. If the area is safe then it is important to wear gloves to minimize contact to…

Today, I want to talk about how interesting it is to speak another language that is not your mother tongue language and see young children acquire language so quickly. I was born in California but raised most of my time in Korea. Since my first language was Korean, I consider English my second language and therefore, I had to “learn” English when I was about 7 years old. Human language is extremely interesting in the fact that when you are young, you learn it naturally without a great deal of…

since that have had a solid foundation in first and second grade. At one point in the chapter Tompkins writes, “Students supply the ideas for writing and teachers model how to tackle common writing problems” (2012, p. 23). I see this as starting to develop critical thinking at an early age, but in a way that is not too much for them to handle. I understand that first grade may seem a little young to have the students contribute ideas, but I believe that first and second graders know a lot more…

Canada has several anti-discrimination laws that are meant to protect all Canadians, the definition of which is meant to include Indigenous women. Section 7 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, passed in 1982, gives all Canadian equal rights to life, liberty, and security of the person. And yet, the law fails to protect Indigenous women time and time again. According to the 2015 NWAC (Native Women’s Association of Canada)’s fact sheet on missing and murdered Indigenous women,…

Over the semester in this course, the sole focus was the Crusades. The Crusades is not a proud history for Christians. The brutality used and the amount of death that resulted in the acts of the Crusades has left its imprint on history forever, but there is much more to the Crusades than this. From this course, the most important concept learned from this course is the fact that the Crusades is something that is not easily understood or explained. There are so many components and concepts that…

democracy can survive.” In Jamieson’s essay “English only movement” he discusses different ways speaking only English is both beneficial and negative. He uses many examples and illustrations to explain the reasoning behind judging a person’s language. The first example is of a Judge in Texas who “ruled the mother was abusive to her five year old daughter by only speaking to her in Spanish.” Some say it will not foster a better communication especially if they want to “succeed in this country.”…
