North Pole

introduction of the Bering Land Bridge hypothesis provided Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples with an explanation for how the peopling of North America came to occur that is separate from traditional Indigenous origin stories. However, it is key to note that, as with any hypothesis, there are academics who agree and disagree with the idea that people migrated from Asia to North America along the Bering land bridge (McIlwraith, 2016). The book by Dan O’Neill entitled The Last Giant of Bering…

Warsaw pact, The U.S. led NATO, and also a group of non-aligned states. Intermixed with these huge alliances were other smaller ones mainly between the two superpowers and other smaller states which they themselves have propped up and supported, North and South Korea both fall into this last category. It was in these smaller propped up states that the majority, if not all, of cold war conflicts flared up. Afghanistan, Vietnam, and Korea are all examples of smaller alliances dragging the two…

In the beginning of this semester, I remember what a nervous wreck I was and how much pressure was put on me. Attending my second semester at UNC Charlotte on academic probation was not my first intention whenever I moved to the city of Charlotte and made the new commitment of attending a four year university. Whenever I was told that I needed to attend a class two times a week so I wouldn’t be kicked out of school, I felt nothing but shame and frustration. I was certain whenever I mentioned to…

pressures? What does each film seem to prescribe as acceptable behaviors and outcomes for the girls? Both cultures are really different. Japanese people have a more defined culture than North Americans. The mixed of many other cultures and different political views have created a complex and not very well defined North American culture. Ghost World and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time are two very different movies. It’s true that both tell the story of a girl that is going through the…

There are people out there who would call themselves American. The real question is what makes someone American and how would you know. To me there are a couple ways that I would consider myself American and the first and simple one is that you were born on American soil (in the United States). Another reason is that if you look like you are from America and the last one is that if you have the freedom that Americans have. The definition of being American differs from each person that you talk…

seniors. After this summer ends, I will be attending Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina. I will be moving to North Carolina for the duration of my Masters and Doctorate Degree (Lord willing), and I look forward to seeing what God has in store for my life. This will be a new life experience for me, as I have no family or relatives that currently reside in North Carolina, but I look forward to the opportunity that I will have to spread God’s Kingdom to a place…

The Ignored North Korean Genocide The genocide in North Korea has been happening for decades, evidence of these camps has been traced back to the end of the Korean War in the 1950’s. Ever since the first reports of these labor camps, the U.N has done little to nothing to stop them as well as the death happening inside of them and that is why the genocide in North Korea is being ignored by the rest of the world. The things happening in North Korea have not been labeled officially as “genocide”…

In 1492, an explorer by the name of Christopher Columbus landed on the Canary Islands off the coast of the North American continent, and ran into the indigenous people, the “Indians”, who lived there. His discoveries of this new continent, and the lust for natural resources such as gold that were spotted on the people that lived there led to an abundance of European conquistadors, Spanish for conquerors, coming to the Americas in order to pillage the land for its exquisite and valuable…

Little Big Man challenges typical American narratives of history through the inclusion of numerous Natives American characters with multidimensional roles in order to help promote the idea that they were merely the victims by European settlers during the colonial days, the real “savages.” The film’s main character, a white man who plays plays the role of both a European settler and a disguised Native, helps expose the brutal realities of the frontier, by his own people against the Natives who…

You said "Lose What?" Really? Sorry its to complicated for you to follow, lose against radical Islamic terrorism. You are not losing freedom to assemble or freedom of the press, the only thing you lose out of those two things are freedom to riot and call it an assembly. You ask "You think ANY religion is bad? How many monks do you see murdering others? What about jews? Christians? Do you hear about the radical Jehovah witnesses? No?" If you took the time to graduate or attain the…
