A Short Story Of America's Worst Mistake

Over the past few weeks of class, we have covered the first five chapters of our textbook, written by George Brown Tindell and David Emory Shi called, “America, A Narrative History.” Each chapter told the reader a narration of the history of America, as opposed to an expository version of America’s history. Each chapter had its own main idea over a portion of history, along with many details that cover the importance of the main idea. As a reader, one may obtain a deeper appreciation for the country 's history, prior to entering the class on the first day. The most important aspect of history, besides the battles that are fought, is the different cultures that make up today’s modern America.

“I don’t feel good,” exclaimed the auburned haired girl with the tomboy look and ragged denim jacket. “I don't feel good at all. Where is my dog anyways? He should have been home half an hour ago” She looked around to hopefully find a trace of where her speckled, droopy eared beagle went and then she saw it, a huge contraption about a foot and half taller than ten feet. She ran to PawPaw and said in excitement “what is that huge thing in the barn?”

Many people associate the word “genocide” with the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. However, there is a particular genocide much more severe than the Holocaust, the American Indian genocide. It is roughly estimated that ten million Native Americans died due to European contact. Many documents attempt to effectively recount the experiences of the Native Americans and provide accurate information pertaining to their cultures, but the reading that best does this is chapter one of America’s History by James Henretta et al. This reading encompasses a variety of topics; covering Native American society prior to European contact, geography of the Americas, European hierarchy, conflict in the Old World, Native American and European empires, trading networks,

By 1600, England’s feudal system was nearing extinction, as a new family (Tudor’s) came to power and wanted support from the middleclass and the establishment of new liberties for Englishman (i.e. trial by jury and no arrest without a warrant), which resulted in a large amount of local and self initiative to prosper in the community: yet many beggars now existed, culminating in an increased need for colonial expansion both for personal prosperity and more space for the existing population.

Even today, we continue to make these mistakes. America is always seen as a top dog. Is our country really at the top, or is that just a common misconception?

There are numerous events that have happened in America’s history: many wars, natural disasters, and terrorist attacks; looking back on this history, Americans can learn and have hope for the future.

There will be two articles in this critique, the first is Kurt Andersen, who wrote “How America Lost Its Mind” and the other is Philip Zelikow, who published “Is the World Slouching Toward a Grave Systemic Crisis?”. Both authors main point described what they recognize is happening in America, and how those changes had led the American people to a negative direction. However, each has their own take on how such direction came to be and how we cannot avoid it. For Andresen, his specific view boiled down to the idea that individual American seek out their own truth, and how in this society of mass gathering and speedy information had given ways to create a personal acceptance to a wider range of rational and irrational interpretation. He further
