The trials of war are never simple; in fact, they are a very complicated concoction of humanitarian aid, military campaigns, and politics. The United States of America was on the outside of the European conflict of World War II clinging to their beliefs of isolation. However, our government officials knew this would not and could not last. In 1941, the United States entered World War II. Its allies would be Great Britain, France, and the Soviet Union. By the war’s end, it became common…

One could say this is true because for example research in the United States tell us the middle-class women is more polite and use less slang than men. This is not universal because we have an example from Madagascar. Women there speak in a blunt way while men are using more polite form. Other persecution that women talk to much. Research tell us that this is not true and in public, on average men talk more than women. It is probably due to the persecution that…

As a result of new contacts among Western Europe, Africa, and the Americas, social and economic transformations occurred in the Atlantic world from 1492 to 1750. Many social changes occurred in these regions as a result of new contacts. Economic changes had great effects on West Europe, Africa, and the Americas during the time period, 1492-1750.

The usage of khat (Catha edulis), a plant that grows in the Middle East and is commonly used as an amphetamine like drug, has spread from its origin in the to Middle East to have effects on people worldwide.

The plague epidemics of the 6th, 14th, and 17th century are commonly known as Justinian’s Plague, the Black Death, and the Plague of 1665, respectively. Yersinia pestis was the major source of the plague in all three epidemics. Modern DNA analysis studies showed that Y. pestis has a strong correlation with victims of the Black Death in the 14th century. However, although these modern studies show biologically that Yersinia pestis was the cause of the Black Death, many scientists are skeptical…

Migration has been around since the dawn of the history. People have never stayed in one place nor continued to live permanently in such place. However, they energetically search and look up for different places, where they could commence a new life or have a bright future. Today, I have chosen this topic because of numerous stories that we hear from the news, which usually informs us about huge numbers of people who cross the Mediterranean Sea on daily bases; some of whom are able to make it,…

Can the refrigerator be considered as an artificial cold that a person cannot live without?

In each of the chapters’ titles, the six sessions are: Glass, Cold, Sound, Clean, Time, and…

This claim, however, fails to recognize both that Ethiopia was not unique as a centralized polity and that Ethiopia’s strength on the eve of the war had been greatly diminished. Aside from Ethiopia, several states, including “Madagascar, Egypt, Buganda, and Bunyoro,”9 had similar centralized structures, and yet all were either colonized or reduced to tributes. While centralization likely conferred an advantage to Menelik as he raised and trained an army to defeat the Italians,…

On November 10th, 2017, I read “Stella Luna”, by Janell Cannon to a group of five second graders. In my group, there were two boys and 3 girls. In order to find the perfect book for the read aloud. I used reading surveys and interview questions to find the right match. I gathered a few different resources and ideas to create a survey for the children.
