The Viking Age occurred from late 8th century to mid-11th century. Within this time frame Viking populations across the globe experienced a number of significant changes that signalled the transformation of the Viking age. It should be made clear that this essay will argue for the transformation of the Viking age, as opposed to the end.

Police brutality has had a long lineage in the United States of America. Beginning in 1877 with the Great Railroad Strike, police began targeting poor labor workers as they attempted to make a fair living. The Pullman Strike of 1894, the Lawrence textile strike of 1912, the Ludlow massacre of 1914, police brutally attacked labor workers on strike. Fast-forward to the 1960s where Native Americans, Latino immigrants, LGBT people, and blacks were the new target, low on the totem pole. Police…

Charles Darwin said: “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” People have been changed by different circumstances; if they want to live better, they should try to adapt to new environments.
