In the book The Monkey Bridge by Lan Cao, income and social status prevent Mai and her family from all being together in the United States. On page 227, her mother Thahn writes in a letter to Mai, “How could i have told you that Baba Quan, the man I call Father, is a Vietcong from whom i am still trying to escape?” This quote shows that because Mai’s grandfather Baba Quan was a Vietcong, he wasn't able to come over to the United States during the war to be with his family because little did Mai

The settlement of Angkor in Cambodia (9th-15th century AD) has been regarded as one of the greatest pre-industrial cities ever built. A unique characteristic of Angkor is that it is regarded as a secondary-state formation; the origins of the Khmer people stem from Chinese and Indian civilisations, with the result that the Khmer are an amalgamation of these cultures and religions. Through an examination of commercial communication, settlement patterning and state ideology, an understanding as to how

“The human problems appear as monumental as the magnificent engineering edifices left on the landscape; but, without consideration of the human factor, great dams simply make great ruins” (Dupree 1980, Carta 2015). With the development of technologies and resources that help an economy’s growth, dam-building has been a primary focus in many countries around the world. Dams create reservoirs, whose water in turn is used for agricultural irrigation, within the industrial sector, and also as human

Another major impact of economic globalisation is the increase in income inequality and poverty. Despite the increase in the global economy and more jobs, it does not necessarily mean that there is global equality. In fact, the gap is increasing between the economic classes of rich and poor. The Gini Coefficient is a statistical measurement that measures the inequality among the levels of income. Low inequality lies between 20 and 40 and high inequality lies between 40 and 66. Despite Asian countries

On April 7, 1965 Lyndon B. Johnson had given a worldwide televised address from John Hopkins University in front of sixty million people. It was his very first major speech on the War that had occured in Vietnam. Johnson had ordered his staff to write an address because of the rising criticism and all the new problems coming along with the War. It was later billed as “Peace Without Conquest” and became one of the Johnson Administration’s most important foreign policy speeches. “Peace Without Conquest”

Then, some who served in the early period will have one experience, while some

particularly like his nickname, but he does not hate it either. His real name is Thieu just like the former president of the Republic of Vietnam. He wasn’t named after the president though; his mother named him after his dead uncle. Thieu grew up in the Mekong Delta in Vietnam, but later fled to the U.S. He witnessed the fall of Saigon in 1975 – and that was when he decided to fight against the North. The north was communistic, and Thieu was throwing rocks at
