...Aztec Questions and Statements - 1 Statements 1) Positive – Statement - SS 2) Positive – Statement - SS The Aztecs ruled over 500 small states and their population was over 5 to 6 million people. They expanded by conquest or commerce. Conquest is when you take over people by force. Commerce is when you take over people by negotiation/deals. The city of Tenochtitlan at its peak had over 140 000 people and the city was the most populated city in Mesoamerica. The Aztecs, the Texcobans and the Tacubans formed an alliance to conquer the Tepanecs’ city, Azcapotzalco. Tepanec is later then taken over by the Spanish to form their new colony of Cuba. 3) Positive – Statement - SS The Aztecs had a legend. The Aztecs believed that Huitzilopochtli,...

...Los Altos High School has tried various tactics to reduce stress in students. One thing they have not tried, however, is to feed the students chocolate. Although critics argue that chocolate is too high in sugar and fat content to actually be healthy in the amounts that we eat it, and any perceived changes in mood or stress level are fleeting, the notion that chocolate has positive effects on physical and mental health might not be too good to be true. Shara Aaron makes the case for the physical and mental health benefits of chocolate in the book Chocolate; A Healthy Passion. To begin with, chocolate has a long history dating back to the Aztecs who used it for its medicinal properties. They served it as a drink to the royalty, in ceremonies, as sacrifices to the gods, and as currency. From central america, chocolate spread to europe and the rest of the world. Since at the time, chocolate was extremely bitter and did not taste very good, it spread because of observed medical benefits. Centuries later in the 1990s,...

...Society: Why the issues with Body Piercings? By R. Hackett Jr. 2009 Have you ever walked down the street and seen someone who looks different than you in one way or another and thought, “What was that person thinking?” Imagine that person, at the very same moment, thinking the same thing about you? Often we are quick to judge without taking into consideration each person’s reasons for what they do and how they look. While some say body piercing's look unprofessional and do not belong in today’s society, body piercing is a personal choice that one makes for his or her own individual reason. Some people get body piercing’s for religious reasons, some for right of passage, decoration, fashion and still yet some go out and get body piercing’s as a form of rebellion. Regardless of the reason, we must remember to respect other’s decisions and perhaps stop and take a moment to consider that perhaps the body piercing represents something more and goes further than skin deep. As a woman you may choose to only have your ears pierced one time with only one hole in each ear or multiple times with numerous holes in varying parts of the ear. As a man you may choose to have a hole in each ear, only one of your ears pierced or neither of them at all. Individual’s have chosen many different ways to express themselves with piercing’s in the ear. In today’s society parents are even faced with having to decide if they are going to get their newborn baby’s ears pierced. (Sanders...

...Major Event/Epoch in American History Time Period/Date(s) Description and Significance of the People/Event(s) to American History 1) Describe three different American Indian cultures prior to colonization. 1200-1900 C.E. Great Indian societies such as the Aztec, Mayan, Inca, and Toltec would emerge. They had complex structures of government and built large cities. These cities would even be seen as impressive to the Europeans when they later arrived on the continent (Brands, Breen, Williams, Gross, 2012). The Aztecs were the most powerful of the Indians and expanded their empire as they conquered many other tribes all throughout what is now Mexico. The groups along the Atlantic coast were smaller in numbers and not as agriculturally advanced. These cultures were more peaceful and even had some democratic type qualities to them. Many of the Europeans first contact would be with these communities. 2) The effects of British colonization on the Native Americans. 1600’s Despite Columbus and other explorers going off to the New World, the British did not show any major interest until the late 1500’s. The most immediate effect of the arrival of British settlers was the issue of land. They were taking land and resources that were not their own. However with peaceful relations there was plenty of land for both early settlers and the Native Americans. Early contact between English settlers and Native Americans was not filled with hostility but was rather peaceful. Both parties were interested...

...Language Learning ISSN 0023-8333 Attention to Form and Meaning Revisited Ronald P. Leow Georgetown University Hui-Chen Hsieh Wenzao Ursuline College of Languages Nina Moreno University of South Carolina The present study revisited the issue of simultaneous attention to form and meaning from a methodological perspective that addressed several potential methodological issues of previous research in this strand of inquiry. Seventy-two second-semester-level participants were randomly assigned to one of five experimental groups, including a control, and requested to read a Spanish text and also circle one of four targeted forms (10 occurrences each) in the input. To measure comprehension, a 10-item multiple-choice test was administered immediately after the reading. Both qualitative (think-aloud protocols) and quantitative analyses were conducted to address the following research question: Does type of attentional condition have a differential effect on adult second language reading comprehension? The quantitative analysis revealed no significant difference in comprehension among all five groups. To explicate the findings, the quantitative and qualitative data and analyses are discussed with regard to the issues of modality, depth or level of processing, and research methodology. Keywords simultaneous attention; levels of processing; form vs. meaning; hybrid design; input processing; The Primacy of Meaning Principle; think-aloud protocols There are several theoretical...

...behaviors expressing them, and membership in a community of others who share them." Homosexuality is one of the three main categories of sexual orientation, along with bisexuality and heterosexuality, within the heterosexual-homosexual continuum (with asexuality sometimes considered a fourth). Scientific and medical understanding is that sexual orientation is not a choice, but rather a complex interplay of biological and environmental factors,[1][3] especially with regard to early uterine environment. While there are those who still hold the view that homosexual activity is "unnatural" or "dysfunctional", research has shown that homosexuality is an example of natural variation in human sexuality and is not in and of itself a source of negative psychological effects. Prejudice and discrimination against homosexual and bisexual people, however, have been shown to cause psychological harm. The most common terms for homosexual people are lesbian for females and gay for males, though gay is also used to refer generally to both homosexual males and females. The number of people who identify as gay or lesbian—and the proportion of people who have same-sex sexual experiences—are difficult for researchers to estimate reliably...

...Imperial America EDGE Fall Quarter 2003 Tim Chueh Ambert Ho 12/5/03 What Is Imperialism? “Imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism…characterized by monopoly corporations and the compulsion to export capital abroad for higher profits. Unlike capitalism in the earlier stages, in the imperialist stage, capitalism has no more progress to bring the world…the cause of contemporary militarism” – Lenin “The policy, practice, or advocacy of seeking, or acquiescing in, the extension of the control, dominion, or empire of a nation, as by the acquirement of new, esp. distant, territory or dependencies, or by the closer union of parts more or less independent of each other for operations of war, copyright, internal commerce, etc.” – Oxford dictionary The word imperialism derives from “empire.” As such, it is useful to spend a bit of time to define the word. In working towards a minimal definition, Stanford Professor of Archaeology J. Manning in his first lecture on Ancient Empires starts with: “An empire is a territorially extensive hierarchically political organization.” Unfortunately this definition is too vague. All states encountered in human history are by definition hierarchical, and many nations today are vast compared to the...

...ARALING PANLIPUNAN ANXIETY AND COMPETENCY LEVELS OF FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS IN ABULUG ________________________ A Proposed Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School CAGAYAN STATE UNIVERSITY Aparri, Cagayan _______________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Educational Management _______________________ by MICHEL T. URBI March, 2015 Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Social Studies play a very important role in the modernization of mankind. It is therefore that students should acquire sufficient knowledge on it. Over the past years, social studies as a subject, educators have noted that students in many schools in the Philippines are still considered low in their achievements. Empirical studies like the Ramos, R. Survey (1980) show that there has been deterioration in the students’ achievement because of the focus in dealing with the subject social studies. The Ramos, R Survey by a group of Filipinos researchers found that pupils in elementary Sibika at Kultura in 1979 are more behind, and the high school students of Araling Panlipunan are years behind their counterparts in history of mankind, early civilization, government, taxation and economics in dealing with reasoning as a logic and explaining through what is happened to connect to the present times. Interested in the subject is being encouraged by teachers, but despite the resultant increase in interest...
