One example, I would like to reference is the fact that the United States ruled Cuba for four years from 1898-1902. The movie Romero was centered around the 70s where the wealthy had all the power and the poor were left in the dust. At some point in the movie I’m not sure at exactly what time in the movie, but one of the characters said the “rich have every right to…

Rome (750 BC – AD 500) and China (350 BC – AD 600) experienced conflicts not only in the physical sense, such as in wars, but also in political struggles, religion, and power.

However, in the early to mid-1980s, the industry of private prisons was rejuvenated in the U.S. to try to boost third parties to manage the facility for less cost but with better results. In this generation, several industries and corporations—powerful ones to be exact—are running the business of private prisons and jails for many reasons including taking in big amounts of profits. Texas is the state with the most…

sociologist, W.E.B Dubois, and American teacher of Latino studies, Julian Samora. I chose W.E.B Dubois because he was one of the first to influence sociology by performing exploratory research in African American communities during the time period of the civil rights movement. I also choose to write about Julian Samora because I found the topics of his research on Mexican Americans interesting. William Edward Burghardt Dubois was born February 23, 1868, in Great Barrington, Massachusetts…
