...“Jamestown and triumphs” Julie Atkinson Reconstructive US History Professor Brumbaugh December 20,2014 Before the settlers landed in Jamestown, The Indians occupied the land and lived there for centuries. They were the first people to arrive in Jamestown. Some say there were 25,000 Indians; others say around 50,000 of the American natives, who lived on the land. There were about thirty different tribes whom the powhatan chiefdom took charge. However, each tribe had their own chief. In time there would be a change; King James 1 of England granted for another colony to be established under the Virginia Company of London which consisted of many wealthy Englishmen who wanted to invest their money into the company. They expected to open new lands for financial and patriotic explorations and use the resources of the new world. They wanted to establish English shipbuilding industries and to convert the Indians to Protestant Christianity. The Spanish were aggressive to convert the Indians to Roman Catholicism. Since there were already Spanish colonies in America, the English needed to develop new employment opportunities for the English. For this reason, English people wanted their own colonies. Around the time of 1607, there were three ships sailing from England: the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery. They held around hundred and fifty English men, and boys who sailed four months before they reached Jamestown. During their voyage they encountered crowded conditions...

New Kingdom Egypt had a significant and prosperous economy that other empires relied on due to the contributing factors such as them finding out how the Nile works, having structured source of government, Nubian gold minds provided them with gold other nations were entirely jealous of lastly barter system and trade system were successful. In this essay I will be discussing contributing factors that impacted new kingdoms empire. Transport was needed for goods to be sold for trade to villages and towns. The Nile made this happen and therefore greatly impacted Egypt’s economy. The Nile was a transport mechanism that transported good in-between ports such as grain, Stones such as limestone and quarries were transported along the Nile on barges. A source of evidence that shows this is Hatsheput’s mortuary temple, that features a scene of obelisks being transported from Aswan to Thebes. This made Egpyt a well known, dominant econmy. The economy heavily relied on the agriculture that the inundation from the Nile brought to the Egyptians. There were three distinct seasons that helped the agriculture, the first one was the season of Akhet which was when the river flooded, the second season was Peret that the waters would leave a black silt for ploughing and sowing the crops that was very fertile and lastly, the season of Shemu which were when the crops were harvest and stored...

...1. Love in Education, an essay. Love in Education Love is a powerful emotion, it drives us to become better then who we are, to learn, understand, and become knowledgeable, to make proud the person you love, or for who loves you. Socrates was famous for loving his students, and used this to drive them forward and inspired them to become the best they can be. Socrates said "the love I bore... [allowed me to] draw honey and milk in places where others cannot even draw water from wells." Here Socrates display's how powerful love is, that allowed him to see the goodness, and beauty in students that others would only see a common, ordinary man. Patrick Carmack says in his essay 'Clas sical Vs. Modern Education.', "Indeed, education did not mean for Socrates the cultivation of the intellect alone - to the neglect of all else - but since man is attracted to the good first by what is beautiful, education must first begin with the sense, proceed on to the memory, imagination, intuition, and intellect, spurred on to all by love.'(Pg. 2) Carmack says here that education should first begin in a number of steps to fully drag out the beauty and goodness of man, and to win the students attention so he will take to heart learning subjects, and doing his best. All too often students are told "Do your best!", or "Try your hardest!" But why should they? There's no inspiration, no motivation for them to "do their best", no need to try and liberate and expand their minds. Their own parents sent...

...There are different points of view on the issue of whether being a vegetarian is healthier than a meat eater. The term vegetarianism can be defined by two types, which is vegan and vegetarian. The difference between vegetarian and vegan is that vegan does not consume animal products, including egg, milk products and even honey, whereas vegetarians are able to. (Why Meatless? n.d) Cultivating proper eating habits can benefit personal health, nowadays people prefer “More Vegetable, Less Meat”. Basically human body needs both of these nutrition to maintain basic bodily functions, but meat is not a priority according to the food pyramid. Becoming vegetarianism is good for the human body. On the other hand, vegans may not have enough protein for basic bodily functions, however, reducing the demand of meat can decline the damage to environment and save resources. This essay will analyse the advantages of becoming vegetarianism. Being a vegetarian can enhance people’s health and prevent the risk of illnesses. One of the famous meat less event in the world is the “Meatless Monday”, the purpose of ‘Meatless Monday’ is to encourage people to try vegan food and to be more concerned about the human health.

...Vegans are vegetarians, who in addition to a animal-free diet, do not use other animal products and by-products. Vegans would abstain from products such as dairy products, honey, leather, fur, silk, wool, and soaps derived from animal products. Research increasingly shows there are health and ecological benefits to a plant-based diet. According to a study in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences show that 8.1 million deaths can be avoided annually across the globe if more people adopt a vegan diet. But is it the right choice for everyone? One of the results of a vegan diet is weight loss. It is this result, seen as a benefit, that attracts people to veganism.

...HERITAGE ASSESSMENT LYNN BAKER GRAND CANYON UNIVERSITY: NRS 429 V MARCH 24, 2013 Culture is the foundation of all social distinctiveness and advancement. Culture heritage is the legacy that each generation receives and passes to the next generation. It includes all the aspects of a community’s past and present that is considered valuable and desires to pass on to future generations. People have different beliefs concerning health, illness, diseases, life and death; which are guided by cultural beliefs. This essay will discuss the usefulness of applying a heritage assessment in evaluating the needs of the whole person. Also, I will expound on interviews conducted with three cultural families with comparison differences in health tradition between these cultures on health maintenance, protection and restoration. One of the families to be discussed is the writer of this essay. Heritage assessment is an important step toward building cultural competency. This assessment tool consists of 29 questions that create a way to discuss a person’s beliefs regarding health, illness, spirituality, family support and personal values. The writer grew up in rural Mississippi, with two brothers and one sister in a single family home. We lived on a 65 acre farm surrounded by aunts, uncles, cousins and maternal grandparents. Our ancestry consisted of African-Indian decent. In maintaining health, there were no foods forbidden to eat. Some of the foods eaten were meats, vegetables...

...Essay One: What is an American? Gregory Coryell American Literature I Dr. Joseph Walker January 19, 2011 What is an American? America has always been based on the precept that it was formed as a melting pot. This term means that different religions, cultures, traditions and countries were blended together to create the “New America.” Europeans from various areas have fled their countries for many reasons and settled on American soil, “the land of the free.” Religious persecution, war, famine, and the hope for economic prosperity have enticed individuals to pull up their tent poles in their native lands and move to a bold new world, known as America. This new world, America would be a starting point and a birth of a new civilization and a new breed of people who all share one common goal. What does it actually mean to be an American? There are many definitions that have existed and that have helped us understand and shape our interpretation of this term. This paper will compare and contrast two separate views of what the new American is and what it means to be called an American citizen. In William Bradford’s, “Of Plymouth Plantation,” he accounts for his journey to the new world by describing the intent of his voyage, his first impression of his surroundings, and the things and people he encounters. Our text verifies Bradford’s hopeful spirit and passion for his beliefs when Bradford uses the term, “Pilgrims” to describe the “community of believers who...

...Eduardo Angeles History 202A – 02 Dr. Dennis Freed Slaves As a result of the transatlantic slave trade coming to an end and the efforts of the American Colonization Society; the country of Liberia was founded by former slaves who were seeking settlement in Africa. Before the 1830s, those white Americans willing to contemplate an end to bondage almost always coupled calls for abolition with the colonization of freed slaves— their deportation to Africa, the Caribbean, Or Central America. In 1816, the proponents of this idea founded the American Colonization Society, which promoted the gradual abolition of slavery and the settlement of black Americans in Africa. It soon established Liberia on the coast of west Africa, an outpost of American influence whose capital, Monrovia, was named for Pres. James Monroe. (Foner, GML, 444) In the years preceding the Civil War, thousands of black Americans went to Liberia. Many of them were slaves emancipated by their owners on the condition that they depart, while others left voluntarily motivated by desire to spread Christianity in Africa or to enjoy rights denied them in the United States. (Foner, GML, 444) The ACS’s reasons for working to bring a halt to the slave trade had to deal with a humanitarian, social, and religious basis. Once the slave trade had ended, there was somewhat of a stigma that led people to believe that freed blacks in America were potentially harmful and dangerous for others. It was believed that...

...English 102-08 22 October 2012 Space for Love: Nature’s Domain While reading the assigned texts I’ve noticed that love needs special settings and spaces. Throughout time these spaces have adapted and changed to help suit generations. Literature has played a key role in the changing of these places. Although each writer’s interpretation of love-like settings may differ from one another, there are very basic similarities between them. Tradition has made it so that nature is almost always involved in these, “Spaces for Love.” Also, traditionally we would expect love between opposite sexes but there is tremendous amounts of literature written now that involve love between the same sexes. My goal in this essay is to show that through the change in old and more recent literature nature has been key in traditional views of love settings/places. To reach this goal, I’ll be using and comparing quotes from the bible’s Song of Songs and Paul Monette’s Gardenias to show how nature has always been an important part of places for love. Starting with Song of Songs, it is said to have been written by King Solomon himself but it is also believed to be a compilation of Arabic wasfs that were translated into Hebrew. It was first published in English in 1611 in the King James Version of the Bible. The idea of love being heterosexual is represented very clearly and the concept of nature plays a huge part in this love story. There are so many references to fruits and plants and a clear distinction...

...will attempt to inform you about the Zulu culture. Zulu mean people of heaven. The Zulu are an African ethnic group who live in the Southern region of Africa. The Zulu people come from a Pastoral background as their primary mode of subsistence. The men where dominate and had full control of the food supply. The Zulu people are known for their complex beliefs and values, sickness and healing, and gender relations. In the eastern portion of southern Africa, the Zulus are the most well known clan. The Zulu settled in the late 18th century along with Xhosa, Pando, and Swazi people. This area is now known as KwaZulu-Natal. These collective clans all speak related languages and share similar cultures. This clan looked at this land as one of “milk and honey”, a fertile land with grass and patches of dense bush with numerous rivers and streams. This then was the birth place of the Zulu nation. There were struggles between the clans for grazing rights which resulted in shouting insults and assegai throwing. The tribe’s primary mode of subsistence. Before the mid-nineteenth century the Zulu depended on horticulture and the raising of livestock. Their staple crop was farm corn, and vegetables, while cattle, goats, and poultry were the most important livestock (McCord, 1911). The men and the boys that are called herds are responsible for the cows, which graze on the open country. The women do the harvesting and planting clout within the family (Johnson, 2012). The Zulu live in house or huts...

...3. ‘The hallmark of the personal essay is intimacy’ (Lopate) Write the intimate life of a chosen text using the thinking and themes of any three weeks of the course. My skin controls me. It contains and constrains me, protects and projects me. It is a living coat spread out all over me without beginning or end. Seamless. Only through it can I feel and process the world. And it is through this coating that the world sees me. It is the screen on which social messages are displayed, thoughts are reflected. My skin controls me: dictating much of what I do. I guzzle water and nibble on nuts apply potions and lotions, don helmets and hats: All at the behest of my skin. Drinking too much, sleeping too little, lying too long in the sun and I am compelled to feel guilty. Connor says ‘the skin is not a part of the body’ (Connor 2002, 4) and indeed, my skin is like a domineering despot. It petulantly exposes my neglect by painting dark circles under my eyes, smudging the glow and scattering blemishes. It is the reflection of my soul, separate but inseparable from myself - my ‘body’s twin’ (Connor 2002, 5). It is this ‘twin’ (Connor 2002, 5) or my ‘immaterial, ideal, ecstatic’ (Connor 2002. 5) imagining of my skin that constitutes what Cooley described as a ‘looking glass self’. (described by Coser 1997) This concept states that ‘an individual’s self-conception result(s) from assimilating the judgments of their significant others’ (discussed by Mikala, 2012). What we see...

...Meat Consumption and Vegetarian People should eat less meat or become vegetarian? Steven Zhou Royal Roads University Marianne Kettlewell November 26, 2015 Meat Consumption and Vegetarian People should eat less meat or become vegetarian? Throughout human history, it is clear that carnivores have dominated food culture since Primitive Society. Meat has been maintaining the development in human beings for thousands of years. Unexpectedly, as time has gone by, the meat industry has caused major environmental and health problems. For instance, livestock is now responsible for 51% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions, which negatively affects the environment. Eating lots of meats could also adversely affect health, leading to many illnesses like Hypertension and Hyperlipidemia. Therefore, some people think we should eat less meat or become vegetarian. Despite these strong arguments, personally, I do not agree with this opinion, for reasons outlined below. From a perspective of health, a vegan diet is harmful to the nutritional balance, for instance, vegetarians are short of protein and calcium. Meat, such as beef, has abundant protein, six ounces of lean, chuck beef, braised contains 49.2 grams of protein, 505 calories and 32.59 grams of fat (Dr. Decuypere's Nutrient Charts). What is protein? Protein is a nutrient that the body needs to grow and maintain itself. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in our bodies. In other words, protein plays...
