Imagine living in the extremely dictated country of North Korea. You would never be able to leave the country’s limits because of the restrictions Kim Jong-Un has enforced among all of the North Korean citizens; North Korea’s leader has put on the country. The discrimination against North Korean’s by their leader is highly unfair and should be stopped immediately. North Korea has been a communist country and controls their people since 1918, democracy is a better way of life and not all are…

That caused more moving around between apartment and apartment, living in one or two bedroom apartments with four of us.…

What the Cuban revolution did in other countries was also very big. Just like with Egypt and the Arab Spring movement, the Cuban…

You can hear the screaming and the yelling, and—grenades.” In addition to the failure of Khe Sahn was The Tet Offensive. 70,000 North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched coordinated attacks on more than 100 cities in South Vietnam. This attack had caught US troops off guard, however because the North Vietnamese had spread their troops so thin across many attack points, we could counter most of the attacks. Even with the counters the surprise attack was far too…
estimate that nearly 80% of Native populations died from diseases brought by the Europeans. There is no doubt that the vast European colonization drastically changed the lives of Native Americans and other indigenous peoples all over the North and South American continents. Their populations were destroyed by disease, enslavement, and warfare. It is sad to say but, within 400 years of the first contact between European settlers and Native Americans, the white man had succeeded in stripping…

opportunity. In order to learn more about my own culture and how exactly I came to be an Asian-American, I have chosen my father to be my interviewee. It all started in 1975, when the Viet Cong won the Vietnam War. With my father’s family supporting the South, despite the North’s victory, he was forced into a rough life. His family was split; the men in the family was sent to (what they sugarcoated) “re-education camps”, while the women and children were sent away to an isolated area in the…
