...Paper 1 Christopher Columbus andartolomé De Las Casas were both two men who B have left legacies that are admired, criticized, idolized, rationalized and despised by adventuring out to find the three motivators that have lead to the foundings of what we call America. Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé De Las Casas both set out with the three motives: God, Glory and Gold. God, Glory and Gold also known as the three G’s are labeled as the roots of the age of discovery during the midfifteenth century and ending in the midseventeenth century. Of the three motives each had a higher priority for each one and their priority of each motive led to different ways of exploration and conquering. While both Christopher Columbus and Bartolomé De Las Casas had similarities that we can compare, Christopher Columbus set out in his voyage with a craving appetite for Gold. On the other hand Bartolomé De Las Casas had other ambitions. Bartolomé De Las Casas set out with the ambition of converting the Indians to Christianity which supports that De Las Casas prioritized God over Glory and Gold. Even though both Columbus and De Las Casas were both on similar missions their desires differed when looking at the three G’s and their place in the discoveries with Columbus and the settling in the new colonies with De Las Casas. Christopher Columbus born in 14511506 was a sailor who was heavily influenced by the 13th Century voyages of Marco Polo...

The Flood of 2008 June 7, 2008 was a day like no other that Columbus, Indiana residents could recall. Torrential showers inundated the area with 10 inches of rain onto already saturated ground. This event would forever change the lives of hundreds of citizens of this small central Indiana town. The flood caused an estimated $180 million in damage to Bartholomew County homes and businesses, many of them in Columbus (McLaughlin, 2010). This piece details the response efforts of citizens, as well as local, state, and federal agencies. This paper includes the personal account of a law enforcement officer who, working alongside fellow officers, citizens, and business owners, responded to a flash flood that has since been referred to as the hundred year flood. Also included is the recollection of a flood survivor who nearly lost everything he owned. In...

...community is limited, the lack of diversity causes many of the citizens of my community to be unfamiliar with other races and cultures which leads to ignorance, which leads to discrimination. I have lived in Galion, OH for almost three months. Galion is a small city about one and a half hours from the state capital of Columbus. The racial differences that are so different in this amount of a distance are profound. On numerous occasions I have encountered racism, bigotry, and intolerance directed toward various minority groups. The vast majority of people in my community are very similar to me in appearance. The population is primarily made up of Non-Hispanic Whites. The people of my town are not exposed to many races or ethnic groups, there is very little diversity; in contrast, Columbus has a much greater minority population, which I believe is the reason for the noticeable differences discrimination and bigotry. See Figure 1 below. [pic] As Figure 1 shows my community is basically 100% white. As of the year 2011, Non-Hispanic Whites totaled 96.1% of the population, the largest minority, two or more races, only totaled 2.5%; compared to Columbus, as of the year 2011, Non-Hispanic Whites totaled 62.1% of the population, while the largest minority group is Blacks which account for 25.7% of the total population of the city (City-Data.com, 2011). While both cities show very low diversity, Galion has virtually no minorities living in the city. This lack of diversity...

...Most of these animals being sold at puppy mills are disease ridden, inbred and are just poor quality of their breed. In the act to get the new Puppy Mill Bill passed, a group of people went out to all of these auctions and mills where the dogs are kept and collected evidence that these dogs are not being raised on humane standards. Along with this evidence were several dogs they rescued. According to Columbus Dog Connection (2012), “The Puppy Mill Bill,” “A dog breeder that puts profit before the well-being of a dog. Dogs are housed in overcrowded, unsanitary conditions without adequate veterinary care, food, water and socialization,” (Columbus Dog Connection, 1). This is the first statement made about the mills. The second case is about a dog named Rocky. According to the Columbus dog Connection, “He came with sores and scabs all over his body. Much of his hair was gone. He had demodectic mange and was flea infested. He was terribly afraid of everyone and would bite when anyone tried to touch him,” (Columbus Dog Connection, 31). Sadly, this is the condition that most the animals they report were found...

...The Pledge of Allegiance The Pledge of Allegiance The following paper will discuss the ethics of “The Pledge of Allegiance”. The original Pledge was written in 1892 by Francis Bellamy, a Baptist minister, and Christian Socialist. He was chairman of a committee of state superintendents of education in the National Education Association. As chairman he prepared a program for the public schools in 1892, which included a flag raising ceremony and a flag salute – his “Pledge of Allegiance” (Baer, 1992). The Pledge qualifies as an artifact because it is persuading us to use the words in our classrooms everyday as an oral tribute to the United States. The original pledge was “I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all”. It was written for recitation at flag raising ceremonies as a salute to the flag. The effectiveness it has is having individuals believe that there is power in the symbol of the flag. There is protection and peace of mind in being a unit and having unity and the flag represents this harmony. There were a few changes that lead to the alteration that is now recited today as "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all." The pledge is now an oath and public prayer. This has sparked controversy from civil rights to religious...

...Truth About April Fool's Day And Muslim Representative Method of Scientific Inquiry By Muhammad Tariq Ghazi MMG (Muslim Media Group) http://www.indianmuslims.org/jsp/articles/articles.jsp An email often goes around that warn Muslims again April Fool observation by claiming that this tradition originates from the event of Christians victory over Muslims in Andalusian Spain. It proposes that Europeans made fool of Muslims by introducing Liquor and Tobacco to them and thus gradually weaken them through its indulgence. The author busts the myth with correct version of history and common sense and explain the origin of April Fool's Day. I never knew that 1 April 2007 would be a day of reckoning, in a dubious style though. As a child I might have played the fool on the fool's day by saying what I would believe was funny to someone I loved - like my brothers and sister. Nobody stopped me from those innocent escapades, for they were perhaps as innocuous, or as harmful, as watching an occasional movie - ordinarily at an interval of six-seven months - like Sohrab Modi's "Pukar", or Mehboob Khan's "Humayun", or Nanubhai Vakil's "Hatim Tai". But in later years the April fun did not amuse us older children any longer as we found the annual practice very boring. Gradually I realized that not many people around me were taking April Fool's Day seriously: rarely anyone would try to make fun of gullible peers. This year, however, the day of fools dawned out of blue. I was astonished to know...

Nelson, 1979 The Migration of the Indians to the New World. It is believed that the people who Columbus saw when he came to the New World were nomadic hunters from central and East Asia who followed the buffalo and deer. When the herds moved, people moved after them because they were dependent on the animals for food. It is therefore suspected that the herds led the people out of Asia by the north-east, across the Bering Strait and into North America. They crossed the sea by an ice –bridge when it was frozen over during the last Ice-Age. They did not know that they were crossing water from one continent to another. Map 1 Amerindians migration from central Asia into North America. The Amerindians settled throughout North America and were the ancestors of the many Red Indian tribes we know today, as well as the Eskimos in the far north. In general, they were nomadic but some followed settled agricultural pursuits and developed civilizations of their own like the Mayas in South America (check internet reference for profile on this group, focus on...

The letter was written in a hospice of Santa Barbara of the pueblo of Tlatelolco. Fray Carlos Jose Delgado is a “preacher general, commissary, notary, and censor of the conversion of San Pablo of this province of El Santo Evangelio in the kingdom of New Mexico”.The purpose of this letter is to inform the people and the Crown of Spain that in New Mexico, the eleven governors and many alcaldes mayores are abusing, mistreating and are being unjustified with the native people who have just been received and converted into their religion by the Church.

...Michigan Columbus Credit Union Lisa Flanigan Courtney Johnson Mary Smith-Biles Todd Buchanan Madonna University MKT 6210 Table of Contents Introduction Page 3 Brand Building Page 8 The Numbers Page 11 Conclusion and Marketing Ideas Page 22 Bibliography Page 24 Introduction by Lisa Flanigan Credit Unions are not-for-profit financial institutions that are owned by all of its members. The focus of the credit union is to help its members save, borrow, and receive affordable financial services. One way is by offering higher interest rates on savings accounts which can be important to people in general but also to the young population who are just starting to save for college or some other long term item such as a car. Typically, credit unions charge lower fees compared to banks and provide credit at competitive rates. Like any other business, Credit Unions must have enough income/ assets to cover expenses related to running a business or risk the possibility of becoming insolvent. Lending money to members is a source of income for credit unions. When borrowers default on this lent money, this puts a credit union at risk and causes tougher rules on responsible lending. They are also known for providing service at the personal level by helping their members plan for the future. The first credit union was founded in southern Germany in the year 1864 by...

...What was the short term significance of Granada? The conquest of Granada was the first hostile step to secure the ‘pre-eminent monarchy’ . Although the short term significance of the campaign brought many potential benefits such as economic wealth this is rather an understatement as the sources suggest that much wealth gained was given back as a means of religiously securing Granada in favor of the church. Likewise political and foreign policy can be seen to be exaggerated with unification of the people been limited for self interest seen in the source of the the Marquis de Cadiz, as well as Columbus’s wild achievements been exaggerated for his personal gain to continue his adventures across sea. Although the army seems to have dominated the battlefield this is out of touch with the back up the crown received from other Moors and the sources such as the Muslim contemporary that would want to present the Crown as ruthless barbarians in presenting their efficiency as unmatchable to gain sympathy for Muslims. Despite these short term areas allowing space for questioning in reliability and factual contradictions the religious short term significance seems rather valid given that's the sources suggest a constant religious motive particularly in Ferdinand’s speech where he denies any financial desires but rather to spread Christianity. Moreover this can be represented by the betterment of the relationship of the church and the crown. Therefore religion should be seen as the most...
