The United States

Cultures using hyphenated forms of “American,” such as Mexican-American, African-American, Asian-American, Native-American and many more is a step in the right direction for culture acceptance. With this positive move in the world, there could be a change in how cultures view themselves, leading to how others view them. The multicultural society has to take into account for this change because without their acceptance it would just be hate. Bharati Mukherjee in her essay “American Dreamer,” asserts, “WE MUST BE ALERT TO THE DANGERS OF AN ‘US’ vs. ‘THEM’ MENTALITY.” Although Mukherjee has a great point here, I have to disagree. I don’t feel that we have to be aware of the ‘US’ versus ‘THEM’ mentality with the change in cultural acceptance.

There are those who do not like the idea that they are being better served than others are. It makes them feel guilty and upset; they will feel empathy and sympathy to those who never had the opportunities that they had. The minute one acknowledges that one has privilege, that individual must either act on that knowledge, or burry one’s head in the sand. Both in quality of education and in resources, those that are the most under-served are ethnic and racial minorities living in cities. On the other hand, those that are being best served are Caucasians in suburbs, who are disproportionately given the resources and money that urban schools need. Through political and racial attitudes that have persisted from our countries inception, these

Chapter 6 narrates the popular demand for a militarized “food dictatorship,” and the state leaders’ response to it. The poor Berliners challenged the market economy and believed that only a total militarized control of food distribution could serve their needs. Seeing the slow response of the authorities, the starving population found that the government failed to make their promise to reward their patriotism in the war. A byproduct at this time was anti-Semitism, separating “true Germans” from “the Jew” that were associated with profiteering (132-135). This chapter contends that the women of lesser means perceived the state’s capacity for controlling food distribution as a criterion to “adjudicate the government’s success or failure” (115). Consequently, the WWI Germany was not fully oriented to the military need and political loyalty, but full of dynamic altercation (115).

led by the Sons of Liberty: opened 342 chests of tea and dumped them into the Boston Harbor (dressed up as Native Americans)

The victims of the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2011 accept the president’s policy. Granting equal liberties also shows good will in changing this situation.

Early English settlers who sailed on the Arbella set a precedent that would affect the actions and history of the United States in the future. According to The Wordy Shipmates author Sarah Vowell, those colonists began the way the United States would be unique and not conform to what other countries do and this is shown in the actions the United States has taken throughout its history. Instead of conforming, most of the goals of the United States have been to allow other nations to conform to the United States’ image. Yet, those colonists who were being sent off with John Cotton’s speech questioned their decision to leave England in case there was some reason England would need their religious influence. There is no reason why their home

The Southern States of America was made up of the following, Georgia with Atlanta as the Capital of the new union, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, Tennessee and Kentucky. Although, Kentucky wasn’t a sure bet at this point, there was still a lot of work to do in that state.

One of the main foundations upon of the Constitution is the innate belief that we are a government run are by the people, yet must simultaneously watch for the corruptions of those same people who stand beside us. It is the reason that the United States has a system of checks and balances, to prevent one branch from becoming too powerful, it is why we have the electoral college, though many argue it’s exclusivity has hardly served its purpose, and it is why we have the 7th Amendment, which guarantees all civil trials (that exceed $20, ironically) to be accompanied by a jury. Though the question of its justification and use is more complex than a complete agreement or disagreement, the amendment overall deserves its place among the others, and then some. It is not insusceptible to corruption, most will admit, but we need this right both for it’s efficiency and for it’s correlation with the very foundational principles that make up our country.

In document 1, the picture shows different countries represented by little people. In this picture they are all in a school yard, which represents the U.S. , and they are all out of control. You see the filipinos represented by the monkey looking child, you can also see china and other countries. What this picture wants to show is that the countries are acting like little children in the way that they cannot govern themselves while the U.S. is the woman taking care of them. The United States believed that these countries need help in government so they wanted to step in and “help”.

The basic explanation of what this compromise was, is basically a package of 5 different bills that the United states Congress passed in 1850. That is not all though, for it is rather more complicated than just being 5 different bills. to further understand the compromise, you need to think back to the slave and free states of our country at this time.

oo soon after she arrived her mother and sister died. This left her with no close ties back home, as the rest of her family had already died as well. This meant she felt more able to go to Okoyong, a dangerous part of Africa where other missionaries had been killed (Tucker 172).

The journey of how the United States of America became the United States of America is a very complex one. With America declaring separation from the Great English Empire, to the organization of becoming a free, sovereign nation and lastly, the migration and colonization of the now, western United States, including the great state of Nevada, has many components. The Declaration of Independence initiated the process of becoming a country of its own. This Document pushed the separation from England and showed the world that America was now its own nation. The United States Constitution laid out the blue print of how the United States would work. This was after a failed attempt of the Articles of Confederation. After the Constitution was created, the process of migrating west began in order to colonize the western region of the United States. Nevada had a big role in this because we helped President Abraham Lincoln gain a second term. The first chapters of the story of the Untied States of America were a dangerous, difficult and long one, but because of this, the people that live in this country today have the freedom of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

The history of the United States tends to be understood through analysis of periods of conflict. From the Revolutionary War, to the Civil War, both World Wars, the Cold War (and its affiliate proxy incidents), and finally modern day. What this skeletal description misses are the individual struggles of people who spent their lives marginalized due to societal stereotypes and discriminatory legislation. Groups have been affected due to identities that include but are not limited to: race, religion, ethnicity, immigration status, and sexual orientation. Of course this history of identity politics is not limited to the US, but the exploration of the LGBT movement within these borders can offer an important perspective on the tumultuous

It has been seven years since the largest and most powerful capitalist country in the world faced an uncertain and volatile financial meltdown that affected domestic and international soils. The United States of America (USA) was hit by a recession that began in early 2007, under the leadership of President George W. Bush.

In XIX century, after Europe start the Enlightenment movement in the pasts century XVIII, United States started to be influenced for this movement too. The industrial age had arrived and the country started a vertiginous growth into new technologies and conditions. However, besides of the new way of thinking and the new reality that United States was living in that period of time, the country was divided into the “Liberalism” and “Conservatism”, traditions and movements. Enlightenment starts to form a shape, especially strong in the northern states in comparison with the southern states. United States had a very strong slavery culture in its foundations, specifically surrounding the African Americans and Blacks. During that time, the
