1. I really appreciate have more insights on the CU's history than McGovern's book provides. This gave me a deeper understanding of the "behind-the-scenes" of the consumers' movement in the '30s and '40s, but also about its historical and economic context. This paints a more complex picture of the main players, how they interacted, to what extent they were similar/different, and how they shaped mutually in the public sphere and consumer discussion of that time. 2.

educational excellence, then the general public demands this as a necessity. I have seen this personally in my country of the Bahamas. A couple of decades ago the education system was poor and did not provide training to prepare students for college. However, a few years ago, I began to notice an increasing focus in school on testing and college preparation, due to American business growth in the country.

Leaving the country where you have spent most of your time growing up is not as easy as drinking a water, especially when you need to move and stay in another country for the rest of your life. It sounds so depressing and scary for me, until I did the interview of a person that immigrate to the United State for this assignment. The person that I interviewed was Kyori Anse. He used to live in the capital city of Japan, Tokyo. About 7 years ago, Kyori and his family migrated to the United States.…

What I am about to talk about is a place that you should come and live. If not than a place that you can come visit and you should think that it can become your permanent home. I hope that you like it. In America you get to choose a lot of different things. Such as the way you want to live you life. What I want to talk about first is how us Americans have different freedoms. I am very happy about how we have such freedoms of speech, freedom of religion, and we also have some right to own…

By 1871, however, Fisk was severely in debt. To save the school, George L. White, Fisk…
