All the Clovis dates pointed to a beginning that coincided with the opening of a vast corridor through the ice running from north-west to south-east from 13,000 years ago. Before this corridor opened, went the argument, no-one could have traversed the ice-sheets. Never mind that, even when it was open, the ice corridor was several thousand kilometers of barren Arctic desert and…

A quinceañera is a celebration held in certain Latin American countries to honor a girl's fifteenth birthday. It signifies the transformation of a girl into a woman.

More customs from the “Nacirema” culture have been discovered. Us aliens have hypothesized that the Naciremans are planning on exposing and diminishing our species with the help of smaller beings. While examining different families, we found that parents send their children to gigantic buildings each day; numerous of these types of properties are located throughout the whole culture. We assume that these children are learning about the aliens and they will soon discover our civilization. The…

The purpose of the pipeline is to carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day from two oil sites, Bakken and Three Forks, to an oil tank farm near Patoka, Illinois. Though the…

I chose the Indian Pueblo Cultural Centre because it is a great place for non Native Americans to go and learn about the history and view some of the culture belonging to Natives with having to go and get permission to visit a reservation and sit in on their culture. This culture is different from my own because, looking at my cultural background, I come from a plethora of European countries. I am very unfamiliar with the Native American culture and, because it is a big part of our State’s…

Attempts were made to negotiate a unified country and for all to get along, but the negotiations were going nowhere.…

efforts to sanction and regulate these weapons. However, North Korea, a hostile, secluded country with a growing nuclear arsenal, has resisted many foreign attempts to sanction their nuclear weapons. Unsanctioned nations with large nuclear arsenals pose a threat to the international community. North Korea is one of these unsanctioned countries, so therefore they pose a threat to world peace. Although some may say North Korea’s threats are shallow, North Korea’s recent activities and behavior is…
