Mount Rushmore

Reading through the topics of choice I had a good idea where I would take each topic and assessed my knowledge of each, finally choosing one. After reading I have gained an abundance of knowledge and because of this, I feel like the topic I chose should be the one that my thoughts changed the most on. Comparing and contrasting God to myself, or the modern day human race, is a more in depth analysis than I would first think. Any religious person knows how great the work of God can be. The things…

The Spanish American war was fought in 1898, but the conflicts causing the war started in 1895. First off, you should know that Cuba is located 90 miles south of the shores of Florida, and this was also around the time that America stopped employing isolationism.

The American Culture is very strong, so much that it plays a major role on popular culture and it is…

Who are the “rightful owners” of history? Karen Coody Cooper argues that the history of the American Indian belongs, first and foremost to that group, and secondly is being grossly misinterpreted. In the recent past, a Eurocentric view on Native American history has caused contention between public institutions and the indigenous peoples. According to Cooper, American Indians were presented as uncivilized and inhuman. These public prejudices led to a back lash lead by indigenous…

The commonality of various injustices around the world is astounding. Such social catastrophes can be small daily occurrences or have disastrous long-term implications. Moral courage is necessary in order to prevent and further aid those who have been devastated by events so gruesome as the Holocaust.
