In 1606, England’s King James I decided to send explorers to what is now America. Food was scarce in Great Britain and the Spaniards had already set sail. This gave Britain reasons to try to expand their empire into new territories. Wanting to strengthen England, the Virginian Company tried to not only gain territory but, also give work to struggling men and get better access to products that they were having to import.

Jefferson was a Republican who won the office from the previous Federalist president, John Adams. With his fresh presidency, Jefferson sought out to further limit the Federal Governments power and to give more democracy to the people. Jefferson believed in many things as a Republican and as a human, but his life-time and presidency oftentimes

While a hero has always been defined as a person or character who is strong, brave, and saves the day, it is important to note how much the qualities of a hero has actually changed over the years. One significant change is the motives behind being heroic. Flash back to the Viking Era and it would be no surprise to see a hero fighting many enemies for one reason: glory. In Beowulf, the hero is actually only saving the neighboring kingdom in exchange to “live in greatness and courage” and fame despite

In a world with many different cultures, ethnocentrism is a constant threat to society. When horrendous acts of racism, sexism , and disability discrimination are constantly the headlines of multiple news outlets. It is clear that the perils of ethnocentrism are now considered common things to happen. One example of have ethnocentrism was presented in the past would be in 1904 the Bronx Zoo had an exhibition containing a person from the Congo of Africa. The Aboriginals in Australia are also another

It is often said by many that the work of Adam smith and Karl Marx are key figures that helps us understand the relationship between entrepreneurs and workers. In this assignment, I will be discussing how labour power is produced and by whom, given two remarkable well-known economist Adam smith and political theorist Karl Marx, I will be using and applying their philosophy as well as theoretical position of labour power to hopefully come to a stand-still conclusion on the on-going argument of who

Based on the book I have read, Man & The Universe, written by Mostafa Al-Badawi, I am overwhelmed. To be honest, this is my very first time reading such book, ilmiah book, because I know I really don't like reading at all. Not even reading novels. I have very least interest in reading! But since, reading this book is one part of the assignment to be completed in Historical and Philosophical Foundations of Malaysian Education, I still have to read it until the last page of the book

The Fifth Day of Creation 1:20-23 – “And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living crea-ture that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.

Benjamin Franklin’s life account is often presented as a surrogate narrative of the history of the America in the epoch in which he lived. His account of modest beginnings – truthfully, but self-consciously re-created by Franklin nearly fifty years later when he began to write his Autobiography – has been accepted as the tale of the America’s first Horatio Alger. Rooted in the New England ethos, Benjamin Franklin was indelibly stamped in the Puritan dye yet exempt from Puritan spirituality. In his

John Adams’ Presidency Some may believe that John Adams’ presidency was a successful one, but in reality, his solutions to the problems that America was facing did not do much to solve the actual problems at hand. For instance, during the Quasi War with France, his solution was to go to war, which would only lead to an unnecessary loss of life on both sides, when there were various other, more practical ways of going about this issue. After the XYZ Affair, he made a number of questionable decisions
