Around the 1600’s, New England started to develop a drastic population growth. This growth caused several problems for the occupants including, high prices on food, land, and a shortage of work for many because of the aggressive competition. Immigrants from New England began to prepare for a voyage that would be beneficial for some travelling to Massachusetts and not so much those who were travelling to Virginia. Although the settlers from the Chesapeake Bay and New England came from the same country, these colonies established different societies because of varying elements such as religious freedoms, economy, government’s role in society and unity.

Europeans view on non-european peoples and cultures became more vast over the time period of one hundred and thirty years. These documents, presented chronologically, show us how europeans questioned their morals about non-europeans as new intellectual changes were happening.

Secondly, his inspiration caused everyone to get up off their chairs and fight and people who thought it was the end to believe and know that they will win. They were all about victory, victory alone, even if odds were against, they just believed in victory and never thought about losing or even giving up on the hardest of situations possible. Inspiration would allow you to see things you may have never seen not only physically, but also mentally, such as a sense of purpose, dreams, goals, doing the impossible or the impossible for you. That is what some things that Winston Churchill would try to make you to believe or convince you for some of these types of reasoning.

The lack of opportunities for social mobility in England - high mortality rate, reduced wages, and high unemployment in result of the enclosure act – was an important social problem that led to increasing migrations and populations in the Americas, especially Chesapeake. In Virginia, both the white and black populations increased the most out of all the other English colonies (document 1). Similarly, there were an increase in white and black populations in Maryland and Middlsex County, Virginia (document 2 and 3). Throughout the 1600s, British migrations to the Americas gradually increased, which indicates that many of those migrants hope to flee the social problems in England to order to search for better futures in the

The combination of Mercantilist ideals and joint stock companies fueled intense Colonial competition between European nations, and these competitions decided who stayed in power. One specific nation that was constantly in competition with the English were the Dutch. They fought over similar colonies including those in North America and the Caribbean. In 1652, a Dutch letter wrote about all the money that the Dutch had put into securing an island in the Caribbean, but more importantly how there were “Great swelling words abound, so that the scene is altered and nothing thought of but domineering over England”. All the Dutch thought about were ways to beat England and become more profitable than they were. They know that the country with more

After the Second World War, the great European Empires started to lose their colonial territories all over the world. England was losing its colonies in India and in parts of Asia while France had lost their South East Asian colony of Indochina. This defeat was terrible for France and to further exasperate the problem for the nation, the new independence of Indochina persuaded other French colonies such as Tunisia and Morocco to also revolt against their colonial oppressor and gain independence. However the biggest loss to France was its loss of their colony in Algeria. Algeria had been a French colony for the past 100 years and over a million French settlers, known as pied noirs, were currently living inside the colony (Lowe).

In America, there are many voices that are being heard, but there are voices that are being louder than others. There are many ways that a culture can have themselves be heard and create the change that they are yearning to have. The United States of America has a whole variety of communities, which can impact the world. There are two specific co-cultures, teenagers and LGBTQ, that are stepping up to create the change that is needed in this country, to accept that is it okay to be different. The LGBTQ culture are the most accepting but misunderstood co-culture in America. Explaining specific characteristics of the gay community, like identifying prominent values, symbols and cultural norms, and comparing and contrasting the communicative behaviors of the gay culture with the teenager culture of today’s society will show how it has impacted their communication style, because everyone has the right to be who they are and not be afraid to express it, which is why being a teen or being a part of the LGBTQ culture shows a perspective that

After the ban of Tobacco in 1644 by the last Ming emperor Huaizhun the already addicted Chinese people had to find something new to smoke and as opium was already smoked mixed together with tobacco before the ban, many of the smokers changed to opium smoking itself or also Arsenic, that is also a drug. So as the Opium smoking was already widely spread across China, it was already slowly destroying the health and the cohesion of the nation, but it was still a problem only within China. Even though Chinese-European trade already existed in the seventeenth century a law for the trade was made 1757 and it was called the “Canton-System” and the trade between China and all European countries got reduced to only Canton or as it is today called

Alison Galetti HIS 101 Professor Bernath October 6th, 2014 Tolerance and Equality in 17th Century America Many Americans are attracted to the idea that America was a country built off of equality and tolerance, yet, in its early years of formation, the new colonies were far from this utopian life. In 17th century America, the new colonies provided a retreat for people desperately searching for religious freedom, profit or separation from the English Crown. Due to the mixed interests in the new world, each region developed uniquely to the others and each treated the concepts of tolerance and equality differently. The regions can best be separated into three categories: the Northern Colonies, the Southern Colonies and the Middle Colonies. For

Attaining goods such as new “Refined taste was proof of gentility, a term that became synonymous with the attributes associated with wealth and sophistication.” With the idea of wealth and sophistication, slaves became in high demand for profits to the new world.

During the Enlightenment, authors started to think in different ways and write in different ways also. They were able to get their writings away from the church and start having a freedom of speech and write about what they wanted to write about and not have to worry about getting in trouble for doing it. This movement opened up a whole new world for writers and the whole society. It opened up new social and civic freedoms by giving the people a chance to talk you and not be afraid no more, and tell stories and not have to do everything the church says. They had freedom finally and didn't have to worry about getting in trouble for doing what they wanted and writing what they wanted.

Europe during the eighteenth century was at the height of the industrial revolution, none of which reached America. In New England the population was largely English, but America as a whole had more than 20 ethnic strains present, nowhere in Europe could such a heterogeneous mixture be found. America was unique in its political structure. Americans vested authority in personalities, rather than, as in England, in institutions of tradition. As a people they had been striped of traditions. America lacked the centuries of tradition that other societies had. American cities not only solved thier problems, but they sought to solve them. European cities were encrusted with centuries of tradition and moved only by

The Renaissance and Scientific Revolution paved way to the beginning of the Enlightenment. Different philosophers began to think rationally and using the scientific method to discover the world around them, rather than believe what the Church told them to do. Instead of thinking religiously, they took a more rational perspective on not only the world, but on how to effectively run society. They were able to spread their ideals through various translations to reach a broader audience, and the printing press allowed them to spread their works and ideas throughout the lands. Isaac Newton was a famous figure in the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment because of his view of the world as a machine, also known as the “Newtonian World Machine.”
