Picture this; one day you are driving through a nice neighborhood, filled mainly with middle-class families. Every day you drive through this neighborhood and notice how it is changing from day to day. The first day it was a clean neighborhood, manicured lawns, friendly people waving hello, and maintained homes. Soon this neighborhood shifts, there are more homes for sale or foreclosed, this once pristine neighborhood has turned into abandoned homes, overgrown lawns, and fewer and fewer…

Making America Hate Again To be able to vote is undoubtedly one of the greatest aspects about the United States of America. The ability to chose our leaders and practice a democracy is something citizens of other countries only dream of having. Because of this freedom, Americans should always vote during the elections, especially this year’s Presidential election. This election is an especially unique one; the Republican candidate is a businessman with no political experience, while the…

The Great Recession began in December of 2007 and continued through 2010. This all began with the bursting of the housing bubble. The resulting loss of wealth led to sharp cutbacks in consumer spending. This loss of consumption, along with the financial market chaos triggered by the bursting of the bubble, also led to a collapse in business investments. As consumer spending and business investments dried up, massive job loss followed. In 2008 and 2009, the U.S. labor market lost millions of…

In the videos, “End this depression now”, part one, and, “End this Depression Now “, part two, Paul Krugman talks about the problems we face in today 's world, things that affect us or help us stay out of a depression. Honestly I am a bit surprised to hear that even though we have been out of a recession that ended in 2009, the United States still faces problem like being unemployed for more than one year, and for those who graduate, finding a job has not been easy. The reason I am surprised…

Europe and The Black Death As the winter of 1348 subsided, the people of Europe finally envisioned the spring days ahead of them. Little did they know that the springtime would bring with it a deadly epidemic that no one could have possibly foreseen. The Black Death could not have arrived in Europe at a worse time as much of the population was already weakened from a scarcity of food due to overpopulation and famine. There was barely any time to react as the disease spread swiftly from its…

Overtime in the U.S., we’ve had two major droughts that have put our country in jeopardy. These events are very relevant and important which are the Great Recession and the Great Depression. Although these elements are different from each other, they’re also similar due to the violence it has developed, the increase of the unemployment rate and so on. But the question is, how are these events similar and different? The Great Depression started because of a huge crash in the stock market within…

Without The Renaissance, Where Would We Be? Although many people think the Renaissance period is simply an era of rebirth, it ultimately shaped the world into what we know today. What is the significant effect of the Renaissance? P.J. O’Rourke stated “Not much was really invented during the Renaissance, if you don’t count modern civilization.” This statement refers to the vast amount of advances made during the period. The long-lasting achievements in technology, science, mathematics, geography…

The Great Depression was arguably America’s darkest hour. Looking back, modern day Americans cannot fathom the despair and hopelessness that covered America like an itchy woolen blanket throughout the 1930s. How bad were those days? What kept American families alive? Where was God? Now, imagine if another Great Depression happened tomorrow. Could America recover? As a student flips through his history textbook, he spots a photo of men lined up around a block waiting for bread at a soup kitchen.…

Coming home to a big house with a great wife and great children, or coming home to mountains of money, or even coming home to an RV that’s going across the country. This, in its many forms is the American dream. The American dream is the ideal, that every United States citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity through hard work, and determination. This said, The American dream is in the eye of the beholder. One man’s American dream, can be living life on the road…
