Race to the Sea

Understanding cultural diversity in the United States is vastly important when it comes to the modern dynamics and politics that shape the regions and the people who now inhabit and have inhabited the Western hemisphere long before initial European colonization as well the various ethnic groups that subsequently came afterwards in search of religious, political, and economic freedoms the vast American continent had to offer.

the misunderstanding of western cultures in our media.

out of all social groups. Many of them began to play sports, work in factories, and in their own little way help protect the country. Much of the propaganda for the women in the war was about them finding their job in industry to help the men over seas and help keep things running at home.

If these stereotypes are left to run rampant, then institutional racism will only grow, and personal prejudices will remain. The negative labeling of these groups also causes internal problems. The chronic stress of having to be conscious of your race and how your behavior might be interpreted because of the color of your skin causes many health problems.

force in the European continent. So this could be considered A and B because militarism and alliances were building up together. The imperialism/nationalism was due to the fact that the Russian empire wanted to expand it's territory to the Caspian Sea to expand its trade routes.

Not to mention when the dust bowl descended onto…
