Throughout this past semester I have improved multiple learning skills. This has been done by taking Professor Cowley’s ISS 230 course. Throughout the course we have been studying, in depth, immigration throughout Europe. In countries like Italy, Germany, England and so on. By studying immigration, I have been able to improve learning skills such as analytical thinking, cultural understanding and effective citizenship. I have obtained at least an emerging level of competency when it comes to these

Hydraulic fracturing is a well-stimulation technique in which rock is fractured by a pressurized liquid. The process involves the high-pressure injection of 'fracking fluid' into a wellbore to create cracks in the deep-rock formations through which natural gas, petroleum, and brine will flow more freely. When the hydraulic pressure is removed from the well, small grains of hydraulic fracturing proppants hold the fractures open. Hydraulic fracturing is highly controversial in many countries. Its

faced with post war economic hardship and recent severe weather. Churchill advised Truman that Great Britain would no longer be able to fund anti-revolutionary support. Greece was currently in a battle against revolutionaries supported by communist Yugoslavia who were attempting to over throw the British supported King.

grew my “roots” in a place, but it did not disadvantage me. Instead, I believe it enabled me to become a person who appreciates and understands the significance of diversity. My mother was a Croatian who fled to America as tensions in the former Yugoslavia grew in 1990. My father was an American who, like me, had a geographically diverse background as well. As a child, my mother often brought me to Croatia to spend time with my family and to ensure that I would learn

The Cold War was truly tragic, it was the geopolitical, moral, and economic fight between two world powers, the USA and the USSR. It started in 1947 at the end of the WWII and lasted until the ending of the Soviet Union on December 26, 1991. People recorded their thoughts and experiences in journals.

My respondent was my best friend’s father, Andre Cukovic and he is 60 years old. He was born in the communist country of Yugoslavia (present day Albania) in 1949.

He cut his long curly hair and did some modeling in Australia. When Andre reaches his 40’s, he claimed that he still felt like he was 20.
