The American Revolution is typically looked at as a conservative movement, but it seems most of the actions taken were very radical. They were fighting to defend their rights, governed and natural. The American Revolution was as radical as any other revolution, in a special 18th century way, and this seems to hold true while looking at the new waves of thinking. It involves the Whigs and Tories, and while they are at opposite sides of the spectrum, they consecutively agreed to not address and higher-law

about my communication is unique to my specific circumstances. The way of communication is different when I was talking with Americans and Japanese. Whenever I talk with American people, I try to be more open mind. Since I came here in NDSU, I have a lot of opportunities to communicate with Americans.

A few years ago, I found myself at a local coffee shop for a poetry slam. It was around the same time that I was trying to come to terms with life without my grandmother. She had been in the hospital for quite a long time, and I was surprised I found even a moment to show up to the poetry slam between my regular visits to the hospital, school, and other commitments.

The world has a perception of the American people and it’s not as flattering as we would like to be. In Yanko Tsvetlov’s image “The World According To Americans 2012” he illustrates in a brilliantly colored map exactly how that perception appears to the rest of the international community.
