Discovered in 1524 by French colonists, New York quickly became the land of success for millions of migrants from Europe, Asia, and even those in the United States. In 1965, the first migration of the Ranieri family began from Sicily, Italy to Flushing, New York. Domenic Ranieri, a first generation Italian, was born into a full Italian family in 1985. He resided in Whitestone, NY until 2004 when he moved to Monmouth County, New Jersey at the age of 19. While in New York, Domenic was a student at Saint Francis Prep High School. As for his family, they were living the American Dream, pushing a strong work ethic and the importance of education. His father, Vito-Antonio Ranieri, began his career as a flight attendant for United Airlines while his mother, Giovanna Ranieri, owned a hair salon. Overall, Domenic enjoyed growing up in New York City. He took great advantage of the opportunities which allowed him to gain independence at such a young age. One of the greatest assumptions associated with the city is the excitement and different activities. Domenic was surrounded by hundreds of close family members from the same generation that all made the trip to the states together. A majority of his friends were his cousins, as this was a common occurrence among first generation families. At a younger age, Domenic and his cousins played different street games such as manhunt, wiffle ball, and football. As he grew older, the neighborhood kids began branching out and took advantage of

For my second critical essay in this course I have elected to tackle the subject of the lives, attitudes, and presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Thomas Jefferson. I will compare the two and state how they are alike and how they are different. Then the last thing I will do is choose and explain who I believe was the more effective leader. Both were very influential and effective presidents in the development of the early United States, but Thomas Jefferson was the more effective leader in my humble opinion.

Kids on my block always loved to play outside. Growing up we always knew each other. We cherished the times we would spend with each other.

We were weeding and cutting trees at Hālawa Valley to walk up to see the pohaku. I learned how Native Hawaiians took care of their land, mālama ‘āina, and how they live together with the nature sources. Even the pohaku with carvings, as Native Hawaiian people did not carve the shape, but they carved additional parts. For instance, when Native Hawaiian people found the pohaku, which shape is similar to Kū, they added Kū’s hat and eye, which are missed. When they found the turtle shaped pohaku, they added eye to complete the shape. Native Hawaiian people did not cut down all the trees, but rather cut some, so that the plants don’t get overgrown. However, this sacred place got ruined by building H3. H3 divided sacred birth place for Native

As African Americans transitioned from slavery, there were practices put in place to help with this transition. Colleges were created specifically for African Americans. The 1960’s was a trying time for the nation as civil rights laws were implemented to protect the rights of African Americans. Even though progress was made, African American males still faced challenges. The scope of this capstone is the matriculation of African American males.
Without The Great Migration, or the migration of African Americans from 1915 to 1970 from the south to the north, the north would have suffered economically (Wilkerson 8). Specifically, without the Great Migration, the north would have faced extensive job shortages, that would have eventually led to economic turmoil. One cause of The Great Migration was the need for southern African Americans to take industrial jobs in the north. Furthermore, during times of war, many men were removed from the workforce, meaning that the north needed additional workers to fill the now vacated spots. (The Great) The north needed the southern African Americans in order to fill these slots, and without them, the north’s economy would have suffered

The Bantu migrations had a vast influence on the development of Africa. The Bantu peoples passed on many concepts to the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Originating from Nigeria in the Niger River Valley, the Bantu migrated south and then spread to both the east and west. The Bantu laid the foundation for Sub-Saharan African societies. They spread agriculture, animal domestication, iron metallurgy, and cultural development throughout southern Africa. Various forms of government have developed as a result of the Bantu migrations. They also contributed to the start of many societies, including the Swahili city states. The adaptations the Bantu people learned, especially the making of iron, helped them to expand and spread their discoveries. As
According to Piaget, Marcus is exploring and learning about the world that he lives in as he acts in his environment. As I observed, he grasps, grabs, stares, listening, as well as pretend in the classroom. Therefore, these are the developmental sensorimotor allows him to grow (Berger, 2016). When I observed Marcus, he exhibited these skills as he played with his favorite ball. He also demonstrated his developmental social and emotional skills during the time he interacted with his peers. When Marcus classmates left him, he cried, this allows him to express himself as well show his feelings. Although, the caregiver redirected him, he demonstrated emotions at that time. Children express their feelings through both nonverbal communication and verbal communication. However, this depend on their caregivers to read and recognize their cues. Emotional expression is not developed in isolation; children’s emotional expression is linked to their ability to regulate their emotions (Illinois Early Learning Guidelines). The infant up to two years old strictly depend on their caregivers to assist them. I also learned, that emotions are connected to the cultural and societal influences
“Prospero, you are the master of illusion. Lying is your trademark. And you have lied so much to me (lied about the world, lied about me) that you have ended by imposing on me an image of myself. Underdeveloped, you brand me, inferior, that is the way you have forced me to see myself, I detest the image! What’s more, it’s a lie! But now I know you, you old cancer, and I know myself as well.” Caliban, in Aime Cesaire’s “The Tempest”
