caught my attention. On the map, the gallery is titled Africa, the Americas & Asia-Pacific (hereafter known as the AAA gallery). The gallery was dedicated to telling the story of the indigenous cultures of the world, such as those in Africa, the Philippines, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, and Papua New Guinea. Because the gallery featured indigenous peoples of other regions, I decided to compare this to the “Canada, First Peoples’” gallery, which was created through a consultation with individual…

In the cold, shark infested waters of the Philippine Sea, Captain Mcvay finds his starved thirsty crew starting to give up on the idea of being rescued. Mcvay himself started to question the idea of survival for himself and his crew; however, he never gave up and was pushed by the responsibility he…

non-violence because when he was young his grandmother would often speak to him about the importance of religion and how to trust God, that there is good in life if he believes. Cesar became influenced by reading about St. Francis and Gandhi, both of these men helped him set a good example by adopting their philosophy on non-violence .

This poem was used to justify imperialism as a noble enterprise of civilization. There is controversy around because it promotes that the Western world (the…

must come out"). Those are the first words of Geena Rocero in her ted talk, ‘Why I must come out’. Geena is a transgender. There are approximately 700,000 transgender men and women in the United States and the real number is most likely higher than that (ABC News. ABC News Network. Web. 16 Nov. 2015.).

In Egypt, three men supposedly went in for a job interview and oddly were subjected to medical examinations. The doctor “discovered” that they all were suffering from a kidney infection requiring emergency surgery. They later woke up in the hospital missing a kidney (Bassoul). These types of stories were believed to be urban legend until true accounts like this surfaced. I wish the stories were just urban legend.
