History of Honduras

America’s Gift to My Generation America is a gift from God. Just like America is giving a gift to us. Remembrance is America’s gift. Most of my generations don’t really know what happened in the past. My generation needs to learn remembrance. Of our soldiers who fought and still are fighting for us. Remember the past, but keep moving forward. We can make things better by remembering. Each generation imagines itself to be more intelligent than the generations before it, and wiser than the one…

Between retrospective and contemporaneous writing, many diaries and other forms of literature have come from the victims and survivors of the Holocaust. These different styles of writing have enabled us to learn more about this period in history from multiple perspectives. I believe the excerpts from Moshe Flinker and Dawid Sierakowiak’s diaries are equally great examples of contemporaneous writing from the Holocaust for high schoolers to read during your two-week unit. First of all,…

Questions about how to symbolize slavery effectively and how to tell their story were the most …This teteous task spaned eight years. Two ways that museums .. is through educating and provoking. The goal was to create a balance and a link from the history of founding fathers and the creation of the early republic and the issue of slavery, the practices of such and the enslavers themselves.

similarities than differences, but those differences transform them completely. Jill Lepore conveys this succinctly, writing, If biography is largely founded on a belief in the singularity and significance of an individual's life and his contribution to history, microhistory is founded upon almost the opposite assumption: however singular a person's life may be, the value of examining it lies not in its uniqueness, but in its exemplariness, in how that individual's life serves as an allegory…

Lots of individuals look at the world differently because of the effects of history and our environment. A current controversy that has been brewing lately is whether or not we should allow Syrians into the United States for food and shelter.

The article I chose to critique is Bring out your dead: people, pots, and politics by Don Brothwell (2004). I think this is a fairly well written article with a few minor parts. One problem I have is how he mentions other cultures and their time scale. Some cultures that we don’t know much about would be hard to tell if this was the case. In other culture their time scale is stranger, if a person in the group gets older it is said they are 100 years old. It would be smart to radiocarbon date…

It wasn't until Marco Aurelio became president that Honduras began to see improvements. The area in Honduras that benefited the most from this was the Atlantic costal region of Honduras because the people began to grow and export bananas. This use of agriculture allowed the country to begin to expand and develop. The trading led to improved ports…

Since he is passionate about affecting change…
