It included very important aspects of today’s America civilization, and embellishments that will forever be known as the foundation. Many forefathers and individuals that played important roles took action prior to 1877 and helped mold America into the country that it is today. Adjustments made regarding Native Americans, slaves, politics and other such things helped develop a baseline and…

The Americas were sparsely inhabited and unused. Much of the land had been used once but was soon deserted since the inhabitants were mostly hunter-gathers, wandering across the land. The land was basically wasted and it was lucky that the Europeans finally found a use for it. The Europeans used the empty lands for their benefit while the Indians had not. For a thousand years, the Americas had not changed with a few exceptions of the Iroquois, the Aztecs, and the Incas, which were continually…

The British were at war with France and thus decided to place trade restrictions and embargos on America stopping the nation from trading with France. Another reason was that Americans wanted to expand their land but the Native Indians supported by Britain were standing in their way and making it hard. Something changed after the 1812 war such as…

Captain America and Iron Man circle hesitantly, ready for a fight. Punches are thrown; Iron Man’s suit is activated; Captain America flings his mighty shield about. But this fight is different for them. Instead of fighting a common enemy, they are fighting each other. In Captain America: Civil War the Avengers break apart as a team, due to different views for the future of their career. Iron Man and Captain America lead the two sides. Although Captain America and Iron Man are similar in many…

Japanese children are also also taught that group loyalty is more important than individually; American children believe the exact opposite. American children are taught to care for the group, but keep your opinion unless presented evidence. In Japan, children are taught that if one were…

I have to say that the lecture from last week in our Introduction to Latin America History (LLS 130) class has been one of the most fascinating and interesting class I have ever take about Latin America history. I even wanted to change my research paper topic to the Cuban Revolution. Also, the reading Colonialism is Doomed by Che Guevara and the film Nobody Listened (Nadie Escuchaba) by Néstor Almendros 1987, were the perfect complements to this lecture. First of all, let’s talk about why a…
