In 1952, “Eisenhower Answers America” played on every television set across the United States. President Dwight D. Eisenhower and his team were the first to ever broadcast a political campaign ad on television. Since then, nearly every political candidate seeks to target Americans more directly, personally, and visually through the use of aired advertisements.

The society most affected by sports is probably America. From the first colonisation of America, settlers came for the idea to compete for the life they have always dreamed. The American belief of Manifest Destiny can be considered a competition in its own right. People from all over the world came to America to tame the wild west or build wealth as a farmer on the northern plains. Everyone came with a dream and a hope, therefore, everyone had to compete for their success. Even reaching past…

"The Pinta, the best sailer of the three, was ahead. She makes signals, already agreed upon, that she has discovered land. A sailor named Rodrigo de Triana was the first to see this land. For the Admiral being on the castle of the poop of the ship at ten at night really saw a light, but it was so shut in by darkness that he did not like to say that it was a sign of land. Still he called up Pedro Gutierrez, the king's chamberlain, and said to him that there seemed to be a light, and asked him to…

The Europeans slipped up on America while trying to find cheaper routes to Asia in order to save on the trade goods.

According to (Barden, 2001), the Spanish were among the first Europeans to travel and settle in the New World and in what is presently the United States.By the year 1650, nevertheless, The British had already established a very dominant…

dusty, square-centered towns in today’s America are a thing of the past, preserved only in the lore of old “wild west” stories. In “The Bride Comes to Yellow Sky,” Stephen Crane portrays just such a town which, in the end, could not hang on to its past; could not let progress pass it by. But “The Judge’s Wife” is not set in today’s America, nor is the small town a thing of the past in much of Latin America. In fact, many aspects of life in Latin America can be compared to those of the mid- to…

Three months ago I stepped off the ship to see ground for the first time in three years. My initial sights of the New World and the native people was enigmatic and disconcerting- never have I felt so unacquainted with a populace. I have spent my time here in Mexico City trailing along with a group of apprentices of master artists whom I traveled with on the ship from Seville. My artist companions have enlightened my understanding of New World society with their paintings in the time that we have…

Spain and other European sea powers. This event is often described as the start of the modern era. Later on in 1620 English settlers, the so-called "Mayflower Pilgrims", left for America seeking religious freedom. They disembarked near Plymouth, Massachusetts, being the first successful European migrants in North America. The immigration flow to the US increased moderately after that but only during the 19th century, due to population pressure and hunger crises, millions of Europeans were driven…
