...Seven Years’ War Paper Your Name Goes Here Axia College of the University of Phoenix Shauna Donovan HIS 115 Many factors led up to the Seven Years’ War and in this paper I will describe the social and political backgrounds existent in eighteenth-century America, explain how the diverse backgrounds and views led to the Seven Years’ War and explain how the outcome of the Seven Years’ War affected me and America. All of this will be explained as you read along in this paper. In the seventeenth-century before I was born, “the colonies were becoming overrun by various, very different immigrant groups” (Davidson, J., 2006). Famine, warfare, and religious persecution forced many non-English groups to flee their homes in Europe to the American colonies. This immigration quickly increased the population and made the colonies greatly diverse in backgrounds. This diversity in backgrounds caused the colonies to be divided along the cultural lines. The colonists divided themselves according to ethnic, regional, racial, and religious differences (Davidson, J., 2006). “Since many of these immigrants had no way to pay for their trip to America, they arrived in the colonies already signed into indentured servitude” (Davidson, J., 2006). The population increase had a significant impact on the lifestyle of colonists in the eighteenth-century. “At this time the birth rate also increased with women typically giving birth to between five and eight children” (Davidson, J., 2006)...

...Seven Year's War Paper Seven Year's War Paper Many factors led to the Seven Years’ War. Along with these factors, I think that the huge differences in cultural backgrounds and points of view between the various countries involves also contributed to the Seven Years’ War. In the seventeenth-century, the colonies were becoming over run by various, very different immigrant groups (Davidson, 2006). Famine, warfare, and religious persecution forced most of the non- English groups to leave from their homes in Europe and go to the American colonies. This immigration quickly increased the population and made the colonies more diverse. The diversity caused the colonies to be primarily divided along cultural lines. The colonist divided themselves according to their ethnic, regional, racial, and religious differences (Davidson, 2006). Because many of these immigrants had no money and no way to pay for their trip to America, they had arrived in the colonies already signed into indentured servitude (Davidson, 2006). The population increase had a significant impact on the lifestyles of the colonists in the eighteenth-century. At this time the birth rate had increased dramatically as women typically gave birth to five to eight children. This fast population increase made nearly every part of the eighteenth –century American life more frantic and hectic. Social relations in the era grew more strained, as many of the colonials found that this diversity made it impossible to...

...“Are you guys ready for junior year?”, was the question our teachers asked us before ending our sophomore year. A question in which some of us may have said, “Yes, I am” and others, “ No, not yet”. I was one of the ones that said yes. Perhaps it was the idea that I was entering my third year of high school and that one year later I would be graduating, but I was wrong. Personally, I would not know how I felt the first day of school; probably because of the fact that I did not show up the first week of school. I know, I know I started my junior not so well. The first day I stepped in Godinez High School as a junior, the second week of school had begun. For me, it was not difficult fitting in the first month of school, socially;I had friends...

...Seven Years War Paper Jennifer Bennett August 14, 2011 Seven Years War Paper Dear Journal, I wanted to tell you about the social cultures and the people who have settled in the North America colonies. Things are pretty bad at this moment, so I feel like I need to talk about what I am feeling and seeing. I really wanted to talk about how the fact that there are a large amount of African Americans, in the population who were brought over from the African continent and the islands in the Caribbean. A large amount of the Africans here are slaves, which are owned by southern farmers and planters. There’s a couple of Africans that are free men, but they work as servants here in the North. Also I have met some free men working in stables. A long time ago before I or anyone arrived on this continent, people were already here witch everyone calls them the Indians and they still remain in several civilized areas. But there are a lot more Indians being found in the western parts of the continent, where the white settlers were starting to move. There is something that I have always found strange, is the Indian are all different they are divided into these tribes, meaning they were divided into small groups of Indians. They would settle in many different places. Also each has their own way of doing things. In my area we do a little bit of trading goods with the tribes, that are living near us because most of them either farm or hunt for food. The colonies...

...Our story began four years ago on an ordinary September day. All of us were scared, excited, and nervous for what Schalick was going to offer us. As young “fresh meat”, we didn’t know what to expect, going off of those movies where high school is all fun and games. Some of us expected that we would get lost, or shoved in a locker. Instead, we’ve made new friends, and were able to familiarize ourselves with what would be our second home for the next four years. We were able to experience what every Schalick student enjoys about high school: the football games, the pep rallies, homecoming, and Green and Gold. If our freshman year was this good, what could the rest of high school hold for us? When sophomore year came by, we were able to feel more comfortable with our surroundings and we knew what to expect. New classes meant new experiences. Driver’s Ed is something all of us had waited for. Receiving your blue card symbolized getting one step closer to adulthood and freedom. And who could forget about the famous leaf project, that has impacted our lives...

...Senior year was unexpected and full of surprises. Many things happened that I never would’ve thought to see myself doing. I won first place at the local Esthetics contest, third place at regionals, and third place at state. I was inducted into the National Technical Honor Society, I got accepted into the Tri-RIvers School of Nursing, and I even started the process of opening a business. It has definitely been a year to remember, and easily the best year in all of my years of schooling. I am so glad I made the decision to enroll at Tri-Rivers. Going in to Tri-Rivers, all I set for myself was to accomplish earning my Esthetics license, and I achieved exactly that and more. I became certified in CPR and first-aid, and had good grades in all of...

...A year that is there to make memories that will last a lifetime, to have an emotional roller coaster about leaving the people you have grown up with, and the numerous applications to fill out could be a definition for senior year. Every year leading up to senior year is taken as a leadway, but the dreaded year comes when students, who still have to raise their hand to go to bathroom, must make decisions about their future. Senior year is a reminder that not everything works out as planned and things have no choice but to change. Through the jumbled up mess of senior year students need to take time to relax and be a kid for the last time before they enter the real world as adults. The emotions will start out as a high going into the last first...

...During the preschool years, we experience quick changes in our physical and cognitive abilities. Our bodies change in shape and size now; everything gets longer. Nutrition begins to affect us in a deeper way because when we are babies, we need to consume a lot of more calories, but in our preschool years, this is not the case. Kids begin to be categories as obese if their body fat percentage is above 20. Kids start developing illnesses like getting the flu a lot. At this time children also suffer from more physical injuries since they no longer depend 100% on the parent. Not only do we grow physically but our brain also develops. At this time, the corpus callosum, a bundle of nerve fibers that connect the two hemispheres of the brain, becomes thicker. The corpus callosum develops 800 individual fibers that help...

...They said "high school was going to go by fast", they said "senior and freshmen year are the craziest and funniest year", and they also said "everything you hate at school you'll eventually miss it once you graduate." Those people who made those statements were all right! Looking back at my high school life I had interesting things happen to me, I had people that motivate me ,and I had people that inspire me. Freshmen year was the start of something really great. Having a mindset of needing to go to college. Participating in every club, sports, and made sure my grades were A's and B's only. Building great relationship with my teachers and understanding the work they give me to my best ability. I also build confidence in talking to new people and becoming more outgoing. A teacher that inspired me that year was Ms.Hays she showed me how to balance friends and school work together. She also pushed me and...

...My freshman year the most important year in high school because most of the classes I took during that year carried over through my high school career. Once I began my classes my freshman year I began to notice that I had a passion for biology, and with that passion also came rewards in terms of my grade. I was able to finish that class with an A. Biology was a subject that I easily succeeded in because of the understanding that I had for the human body, and because as I was in class for biology my mother was in nursing school, which gave me a chance to ask her or work with her on anything that I did not understand. I would have to give me success in biology to my teacher, my mother and I because they both put in the extra effort to help me...

...This school year has had both its positive and negative effects on my life. During this school year I joined a new choir and made a lot of cool new friends and I did some really exciting things. Being in that choir I was able to go to Flagstaff Arizona, went to Hollywood, the Santa Monica Pier, and I was able to go to Universal Studios. It was such an amazing experience, I’m so glad I joined Rhythmix. When I joined I honestly thought they all hated me and didn’t think that I deserved to be there. As the year went along I created friendships, gained their trust, and proved that I belong. I learned how to open up more and be confident, I am so grateful I had the chance to be in that choir. Being in Choir, though helping me a lot through school,...

...The Desert Years Now, this is where I wish I could tell my happy ending, where I acquire unstoppable confidence, strike it filthy rich a few years later and fly off in my pink unicorn to my mansion on top of a hill at the end of the rainbow, where I sip glasses of Cristal and party nightly with the likes of Diddy and Naomi Campbell. Nope. Definitely not with me. Instead, I entered into another "desert" period in my life that lasted five years. It was a period where I experienced very little if any growth whatsoever. Instead I went around in circles, reading book, after book after book, going to different seminars, visiting a hypnotist, talking to coaches, listening to CD after CD, etc, all in the hopes of finding that magic pill, that one...
