Before the Columbian Exchange, Native Americans had several weapons, such as knives, spears, and bows and arrows, however, the weapons were not very strong, and their uses were highly limited. Their knives, crafted out of obsidian, could not be reused, and some animals needed to be hit with multiple arrows before dying. Additionally, spears could only be thrown so far, and whether or not it killed a certain animal depended on both the strength of the creature and the person throwing the

Milwaukee is the largest city and the main economic and cultural center of Wisconsin. Situated on the western shore of Lake Michigan, Milwaukee lies at the confluence of three rivers—the Kinnickinnic, the Menomonee, and the Milwaukee—while several smaller rivers also flow through the city. The county seat of Milwaukee County, the city encompasses a total area of 96.8 square miles. With a population of 594,833 residents and a wider metropolitan area of approximately 2 million, Milwaukee is the fifth largest city in the Midwestern United States and the 30th largest city in the entire country.

During the time of the civil rights movement, milwaukee was considered to be one of the most segregated cities at the time. An extensive amount of African American had moved to the city during and after world war II, and by the time of the civil rights movement, the black community had accounted for 15 percent of Milwaukee’s population . It isn’t a surprise that majority of African Americans in Milwaukee lived in the north side of the city, which accumulated increasing volatility due to limited job opportunities, poverty, and segregation.Racial segregation in Milwaukee and around the world has always been a phenomenon with intricate historical roots. The complex history of slavery, employment discrimination, tax inequity, redlining, discriminatory housing policies, and multiple other issue have lead Milwaukee to be segregated. Despite the fact that Milwaukee’s has a unique history, social forces and government policies created and reinforced residential segregation throughout the united states, so why is Milwaukee worse than most cities in America? Well suburban housing is more expensive than city housing and another thing that distinguishes metro Milwaukee from other areas is the incredible racial disparity in median household incomes in metro Milwaukee, which prevents many minorities from being able to afford suburban housing. So segregation is a huge problem in the milwaukee metro area because of the racial disparity in median household incomes, education, and

     Weapons have been around from the Neanderthals of the post-ice age, to the Taliban in Afghanistan. Rocks became knives, sticks became spears, and bayonets became AK-47’s. The technology from the French and Indian War was revolutionized and manufactured by the newly opened weaponry companies. Colt

Humans have used weapons in warfare, hunting, law enforcement, and criminal activity for thousands of years. Weapons also serve many other purposes in society including use in sports, collections for display, and historical displays and demonstrations. As technology has developed throughout history, weapons have changed with it.

In his work, “Guns, Germs, and Steel” (W. W. Norton, New York, NY, 1997) Jared Diamond attempts to explain why human history has carried out the way it has, he often refers to accounts from history to support his argument. Accounts that will be deemed adequate will discuss specific groups of people, at a specified period of time. Diamond suggests that guns, germs, and steel are three contributing factors for why the world is in its current state. It is not difficult to recognize while reading, that the book spends a large amount of time talking about germs and much less text discussing guns and steel. In “Guns, Germs, and Steel” Diamond does adequately account for the historical development of guns and steel, in the way he accounts for the role of germs in the history of human societies. It is no debate that germs played a massive role in many important events in history, but guns came late, were not very effective at first, and steel production was most important militarily.

The first method the textbook brings up is surveys. The textbook describes this method as being a way to reach a larger number participants, and is used to see patterns and relationships among

In the year 1917, the construction on the current Wisconsin State Capitol building was finally completed. Now, in 2017, the capitol is celebrating its 100th birthday, and it looks just as good as it did back then. The Wisconsin State Capitol serves many purposes to the state government, as well as to the community as a whole. While most people would only think of the government related events that happen at the capitol, there is so much more that happens at in and around the building than people realize. One use of the capitol that civilians wouldn’t think about is the ceremonies that award army personal for their hard work and promotions. I have witnessed a ceremony there where a colonel in the National Guard became a general. The

The National WWII Museum, originally founded as the D-Day Museum in 2000, offers visitors the chance to delve into the history and legacy of “the war that changed the world.” The museum features exhibits, multimedia experiences, and an extnesive collection of artifacts and first-person oral histories, as well as a period dinner theater and

Visiting the Mitchell Museum of the American Indian was a terrific experience. Seeing the past visually was amazing because I felt that reading the textbook and listening to lectures from the professor were good, but seeing the artifacts brought everything to life. My first impression being at the Mitchell Museum was how the professor presented the information in class was different from seeing pictures of the Indians. Just reading text or listening to a lecture makes it extremely hard to realize how they described the way they really looked and their appearance. Seeing the exhibit taught me more about the Pueblos and the Plains Indians. Those two groups were in They Made Us Many Promises and this gave me the opportunity to learn more about them.

The western way of war consists of five foundations that have shaped a significant amount of military cultures; the foundations are superior technology, discipline, a finance system, innovation, and military tradition. Perhaps people believe that discipline is not one of the most important foundations of the western way of war, since people tend to emphasize technology. However, discipline is the key to maximizing the other four foundations before and during conflict. Historian Geoffrey Parker agrees that technology can give a military advantage, but it is not sufficient without superior discipline. That is because discipline consists of the ability of armies to act within battle plans even when not supervised, obey orders, exercise loyalty, and restrain their fears when faced with danger. Discipline as a western way of war has influenced military cultures from the Roman Empire to today’s militaries. Discipline shaped military cultures by how they prepared for war, effectively giving them the ability to act during combat and expanding commander’s operational reach, thus aiding in conflicts throughout history and increasing the likelihood of defeating the adversary.

There are a number of methods of collecting data, some of them are – questionnaire, surveys, checklists, interviews, observations, focus group etc (Cordray, 1986; Einhorn and Hogarth, 1986).

We planned to visit Mill City museum after a friend recommended that we check it from the Minnesota Historical site. The museum is the most important and historical place where anyone who wants to know more about the Minnesota people. The museum contained historical articles and information. A lot of stuff was available including plant species and human origin. We later made our way to the science museum where displays of evolution. The main building of the Museum has its entire floor with colorful animated dioramas that display their traditional costumes of Minnesota people. On reaching the museum, we were met with a tour guide who took us through the place and described everything that we wanted to know about the Minnesota.

Quantitative data collection involves the use of numbers to assess information. This information can then be evaluated using statistical analysis which offers researchers the opportunity to dig deeper into the data and look for greater meaning. The Quantitative data collection methods rely on random sampling and structured data collection instruments that fit varied experiences

This section will start with a comparison of three possible methodologies for data collection: ethnography, survey (or interview) and real time experience tracking. And then sampling and data collection methods will be examined followed by a description of data analysis.
