1. Sinification is the Chinese influence in other regions. Chinese culture is adopted into another country and is spread widely. Sinification was common in Japan and Korea, but a little less common in Vietnam. 2.

Between 1607 and 1718 the Spanish, French, and English governments attempted to expand their power through exploration in order to acquire land and provide economic growth. All three countries colonized portions of North America for the purpose of utilizing their newly acquired land’s natural resources in order to transport valuable goods unavailable in Europe. While all the colonization methods focused on establishing relationships with natives, the ways in which natives were treated varies to extremes. The Spanish treated natives with contempt and tried to eradicate their culture. The English used natives as slaves to do the hard labor that agriculture required. In contrast, the French created an alliance with the natives, which allowed them to trade with Indian tribes in their region.

* bootleg running was popular, but if caught: imprisonment with hard labour, $1000 fine, killed by gangs

I disagree with the statement. I think the documents show that the colonies needed a strong united government to promote the safety and welfare of the colonists. Each document shows a plan of either union or confederation. These plans state the need for “mutual safety and welfare.” (document A), “A brief plan scheme how the English colonies… may be more useful to the crown and one another’s peace and safety…” (document B), and in document C as a whole Franklin proposes the Albany Plan of Union because he wants to unite the colonies to be a strong and sustainable union under the crown, and a President-General.

In The Death of History is Bunk, Patrick Watson argues that the decrease of historical content in the curriculum does not indicate that history, as a subject, is declining. While many complain about the decreasing prominence of history classes in Canadian schools, the content of those classes is excessively dull as it consists of memorizing lists of facts. Despite this, there are still protests that knowledge of “defining events” is required to contribute to “the National Conversation”. However, history is not so simple as a list of events—it is the sum of the small happenings in society around the events. A whole variety of factors influence history, which is created by the common people. Unlike Americans, who turn to their constitution for

I will be discussing the contact between various civilizations between 800 AD to 1400 AD. I will be looking closely at documents one, two, four and five. Document one discusses the trade in East Africa and the tribe the Zanj that live there. In Document four it discusses the trade goods in Gujarat India. Document two discusses the Jewish merchants. Document five is written by a Muslim traveler and he is talking about the journey from Zaya to Maqdasha. All of these documents talk about travel and trade between various civilizations between 800 AD to 1400 AD.

Two different types of liberty are recognized in John Winthrop’s speech to the Massachusetts general court, natural liberties and civil liberties. Winthrop also uses an analogy of women to explain his understanding of liberty. Winthrop considers natural liberties dangerous for many reasons, but he mainly argues nobody enforces natural liberty which makes them dangerous, while doing so he uses an analogy to the status of women to promote his idea and understanding of civil liberties.

1.  That Strom Thurmond and Jesse Helms switched their party affiliation was an indication that

Chavez uses the “Latino Threat Narrative” to compare the Hispanics to the “German language threat, the Catholic threat, the Chinese and Japanese language threat, and the southern and eastern European threats.” He suggests that “each was pervasive and defined “truths” about the threat posed by immigrants that, in hindsight, were unjustified or never materialized in the long run of history.” Chavez was trying to explain that the Hispanic would pattern these other threats by upsetting the America people. He states that “… the Latino Threat Narrative is part of a grand tradition of alarmist discourse about immigrants and their perceived negative impacts on society.”

It became the most important port in Northern Europe by sending ships and men east to come back with six hundred thousand pounds of pepper; this got them noticed by others.

        6.  What was “Project Wagonwheel”?  Who were the major participants in the controversy? What sides of the issue did each represent?  What was the final result?

Environment could be altered to improve conditions so that natural laws could allow healing. An environmental model was created to view the manipulations of physical environment as major components of care (George, 2011).Persons are perceived as the patients of nursing (Selanders, 2010). She perceived people as multidimensional, being compared of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual components (Selanders, 2010).Health is viewed as the best ultimate health at any given point in time. One must maximize optimal potential to be in a healthy state (Selanders, 2010). Nursing is the place that the patient is in the best condition for nature to act (Selanders, 2010).

The case study reported herein this work in writing relates a case study, which is an observational study of humanities teaching and student learning in the social sciences. This study observes classroom instruction to identify issues with the teaching of humanities, student engagement and learning, what teachers and students do in the classroom context, and finally makes recommendations and identifies possible solutions. It is noted in the work of Blair (2004) that eighth grade teachers in social studies "struggle with piquing the students' interest on a daily basis. Social studies seems to have a bad rap. Most students entering the classroom have already decided that this subject is a boring one. They are unable to recognize the importance of social studies in their everyday lives, and are willing to simply put in their time in the classroom." (p.1) Blair states that educators in the instruction of social studies must find alternative ways to teach their subject in the classroom. These alternative ways, however, must appeal to all types of learners with all different learning abilities. How can one textbook fit all learners? More and more students are passing through middle schools and junior highs with little or no civic-minded responsibility. They simply do not understand how the critical decisions made in the past affect their daily lives. These are the same individuals who grow up and
