The British Southern StrategyThe unlikely alliance between France and the Americans caused the British government to rethink its strategy in dealing with the rebellion in America. American diplomats used the French rivalry with the British to form an alliance. British government officials needed to defend the West Indies from the French, and take the opportunity to capture the tobacco and rice growing colonies of the south. The British southern strategy ultimately failed due to many factors, The American militia, mistakes by British officers, and the lack of loyalist support the British thought they would have. France and the American colonies had been enemies for years due to the brutal uprooting of the French population in Acadia; the French however were desperate to avenge their loss to the British during The Great War for Empire. During the Battle of Saratoga in October of 1777, the Americans won a great victory over General John Burgoyne. This victory caught the attention of the French foreign minister Comte |

Woman in Literature - The Perpetual VictimsMore often than not, men are the center of attention in most all plays in the 17th through 19th centuries; even today our society is male-centric. Everything seems to revolve around the male ego, whether women can compare to men in all aspects of life, can they earn enough money, are they strong enough, can they run a country, etc., etc. However, without the element of women no matter how small or what her role may be, the play would fall flat. In Oedipus the King, Othello, Tartuffe, The Father and even the absence of women in Waiting for Godot all have an impact in the story and on the audience. Let's first discuss Jocasta; unfortunately she was an unwitting victim of circumstance. Lead by her husband the King, she reluctantly gave up her only child to be killed just so her husband's prophecy would not come to pass. Because of this act of servitude to her husband, she was tortured by her mistake of allowing her child to be taken away, regretful, and mournful. Jocasta is not reall |

Monkey Bridge by Lan CaoWithin Vietnamese culture, different mythologies and customs play a pivotal role in the everyday life. From birth, the Vietnamese are taught to respect their elders, try to gain good Karma, and to carry their ancestral views from one generation to another. Monkey Bridge, a novel that demonstrates the alienation, assimilation, and exile of the Vietnamese after the Vietnam War in America is told by a mother and daughter pair. Through the narration of the daughter, Mai, we learn of her eventual success and accommodation to life in America. With Mai's mother's journal entries, Cao creates a conflict between Mai and Thanh due to their different perspectives of assimilation after the war. Thanh holds onto her engrained customs while in America whereas Mai attempts to leave them in their homeland. Throughout Lan Cao's novel, Monkey Bridge, Cao uses Mai and Thanh's conflict to exploit the tragic effects of war: abandonment, alienation, and separation. Cao starts her novel with flashbacks and |

Hamlet Soliloquy AnalysisHamlet states these observations of himself because he feels tethered to the obligation that he must avenge his father, which he believes hasn't gone so well and that he hasn't done anything in response to his father's words. It is justifiable to say that in learning this secret from the ghost of his father, he really hasn't done anything in turn after hearing this newfound information. He has a slew of emotions building up because of it, but he hasn't acted upon those emotions. Hamlet believes that if the lead player, using his own imagination and a fictional situation to emphatically display a show of emotion, could be this passionate, then he must be a coward given his situation. He begins to insult himself, saying things like "Why, what an ass am I! This is most brave," said with sarcasm. He also believes that he is basically acting like a whore by using his words rather than his actions (Hamlet/Line 539). He's on a crossroads of confusion on what he must do. Hamlet undeniably wan |

Canadian Population AnalysisThe Canadian Population is best represented by the Linear Model because of the specific variation in population growth. Each Year the growth of the Canadian Population increases by about a million people. On a large graph the minimal difference for the million people can't be seen because of the large scale that is being used and therefore creating an almost near perfect linear model. If you plug numbers in to my equation y = 590000(x) + 30230000 you will get a prediction for the population amount for that current year. For Example to find the 7th Year from 1999 or in this case 2007 your equation will look as follows y=590000(7) + 30230000. In this case y = 34360000. These are only predictions and not exact population information because of two main reasons. First we graphed this line using the bes |

My Life - Overcoming DepressionAbout two summers ago, I became very depressed. Not because of a certain name I was called or something stupid like that, but because I felt so alone. My depression began as soon as I started making and uploading videos to the website known as YouTube. I had to learn how to be strong again; and fast. My very first YouTube video ever produced and uploaded was a very boring and short question & answer video filmed on my brothers webcam. It consisted of me dressed like a total tool, some frequently asked questions sent to me from random people through email, and made up questions from the top of my head. I uploaded the video in hope to be noticed by a certain YouTube celebrity. Though this event never happened, I was very happy with the content of my very first YouTube video. Overnight, the short and boring video I uploaded had a whopping twenty-seven thousand views! For me, being a thirteen year old kid, that was absolutely amazing! All my close friends and family enjoyed the video and it made me feel warm inside. Until my football coaches found the video and began spreading it around. I also played football a |

The Law that ProtectsImagine that there was a law that allowed helpless citizens to use self defense against someone who is attacking them. But you don't have to imagine that because it already exists. The law is called "Stand Your Ground." What if someone is attacking and you couldn't defend yourself because it is against the law? What would you do? 22 states have Stand Your Ground laws. The Stand Your Ground Law is here to protect citizens. The National Rifle Association will fight any effort to undermine the right to self defense of law-abiding Americans" (Sullivan J.). Stand Your Ground should exist because we need equal rights to fight, when cops are always around, and to protect loved ones with self defense. The protection of loved ones and self defense is a reason why stand your ground law exists. America wants to protect their citizens. "We will continue to defend the right of every law abiding American |

Adolf Hitler and the Third ReichAssignment 'The foreign policy of the Third Reich derived from the ideological principles and long-range goals of National Socialism. How far do you agree with Bracher? Response The statement focuses on the traditional view of Hitler's ascending to power and on his meticulous masterplan that made the Second World War inevitable.'World War II was simply viewed as Hitler's war, and all responsibility for it began and ended with him.'

The Other in History and LiteratureThe concept of "the other" describes something that is different or unknown to us which deviates from the normal group. In modern society, this title is given to those who are physically or socially different from the status quo. Those who vary from what is considered the norm, perhaps physically or intellectually, are instantly subject to discrimination. The concept can also be found in literature, such as in the form of the extraterrestrials in Wells' "War of the Worlds." Although Wells' description of the alien invasion is fictional, the attitudes are reflective of those in our society today. Many people still have prejudices against those whose beliefs or cultures differ from their own. Similar sentiments toward "the other" can be seen in the past as well, such as in Hitler's treatment of the Jews. Through the reactions of Wells' characters to the extraterrestrials and Hitler's opinions during the Second World War, one can further understand the idea o |

The Cambodian Cafe' TrendA new Café trend is taking root in Cambodia; people enjoy drinking coffee more and more. In my experiences and observation, Brown café locations are the popular places for studying, chatting, relaxing, meeting up and have been integral part of the daily routines for people. In addition, on the basis of the difference, Gloria Jean and Brown café vary in several aspects. Firstly, one of the significant differences is to manage their café. Brown café is managed by Cambodian owns managerial regulation. The owners decides what is on the menus, the prices, how to manage the stores and how to provide services, for example, the way to welcome their customers, whether an employee brings drinks to a customer or serve the drink by themselves. By the way, each Gloria Jean |

Analysis - The OvercoatThe Overcoat by Nikolai Gogol tells how people are treated by their rank in society. Akaky Akakievich is a copier in the 9th class of his society. He faces difficult challenges because of his rank and is treated poorly. In a society filled with inhumane, crude gestures to one another, society is universally in need of more compassionate people. In the beginning of the The Overcoat, Akaky Akakievich starts out by not acknowledging society. Akaky Akakievich lives in his own world and he was happy with it. There, in his copying, he found an interesting, pleasant world for himself and his delight was reflected in his face (924). Because Akaky never acknowledges anyone, he finds happiness in his work. All he wanted to do was copy. Akaky Akakievich never said a word and even acted as though no one were there. (924). When his office mates played tricks on his and made up stories about him, he pretended as though they did not exist because hes content and happy with his life. Throughout t |

Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now"Heart of Darkness," by Joseph Conrad is a short novel published in 1899. "Apocalypse Now" is a 1979 film based on the novel Heart of Darkness by Francis Ford Coppola set during the Vietnam War. Since "Apocalypse now" is a movie that is inspired from Joseph Conrad's novel, when comparing (both projects) it is evident that they share similarities in theme such as racism against the natives, the fear of the unknown, darkness, the nature of evil, and government. However, Conrad and Coppola managed to develop the same character but in different ways; the morals and motives of Kurtz in both works is what differentiates them from one another, while sticking to the main storyline. The first point of similarity that Heart of Darkness and "Apocalypse Now" share deals with racism. Racism and discrimination are major themes that are displayed throughout the movie and the book. Joseph Conrad and Francis Coppola both emphasized how poorly the natives were treated. I |

Finding Personal SuccessI hold the belief that everyone has an ordained path, however, not a predestined one. Similar to a hand of cards that someone is dealt in a card game, it is not about acquiring the best cards possible, but to thrive off of what you have. The hand you are dealt is something that is out of your control, but the way you play them is up to you. Some people take advantage of their opportunities to help propel them into a better position while others seem to bury their talents and not utilize what they are given. In the little time I have lived, I have learned from my parents that where I end up later in life is important, but not as important as the person I become along the way. I have also come to the understanding that maturing involves reflecting upon my choices, past and present. As Herman Hesse said, "It is not for me to judge another man's life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone." Continually making myself aware of my actions h |

If I Stay - Alternate EndingI don't know how much longer I can carry on like this. Knowing and seeing what is going on around me but not being able to do anything about it. Last time Adam was here he was so determined to come in and see me. He fought through the nurses and hotel security just to get to me. I just don't think he could handle seeing me. I look practically lifeless, nothing but a shell of my former self surrounded by wires and machines. He looked at me for ten seconds and burst into tears, I hated seeing him like that, so weak and vulnerable. I hurts me to know that I was the one that made him feel like that. That all happened a week ago, he hasn't been back since. My grandparents eventually went home, they've come back every day at least twice and Kim still hasn't left. I feel like I'm wasting their time, it's like their life would be better without me. I know they all care about me but they will eventually get over it. Even if I do stay I wont be the same. They will have to deal with my consta |

Europe and the Enlightenment PeriodIn Europe during the 1500s and 1600s, philosophers thought in a medieval type of way. Meaning that all they thought about was God and the role of religion. Because of discoveries made in these years, many European philosophers like John Locke, Baron Montesquieu, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and Voltaire started thinking in a more modern way. Modern meaning how our natural rights are affected by government and also how human life can become affected. During this time of changed thinking in Europe, one philosopher, John Locke, wrote a book called Second Treatise on Government. In his book, Locke states that political power is the natural power of each man that they have given up into the hands of a society. According to Locke, the reason for political power is the right to make laws for the protection and regulation of property (Doc 1). He also states how political power cannot be absolute, arbitrary power over peoples lives and fortunes. John Lockes ideas of government were a departure from previous thinking because John Locke said that |

Outcomes of the Great DepressionThe Great Depression was a time of profound social and economic change. Since the economy unexpectedly collapsed, many Americans suffered in every possible way. As Herbert Hoover was the nation's president at the time, the country didn't seem to progress due to his fear of unequal power between citizens and the government. Many people would protest, and send anonymous letters to the government explaining their situation and crying for help. Nonetheless, they didn't cooperate. As the election of 1932 arrived, Hoover had to step down his presidency and give Franklin D. Roosevelt the opportunity to face the economic and social conflicts. As he was looked forward to help his residents, he proposed the New Deal. This program's goal was to relief, recovery and reform many struggles the nation faced. Although, many people assumed the New Deal was a waste towards the Great Depression, it helped improve crisis. When he shared at his speech, "the only thing we have to fear is fear i |

The High Price of FameWhen it comes to the life of an artist, or anyone famous for that matter, it is almost always a daily struggle for them trying to fight with what comes with that fame. The main reason is the thought of always having to live up to high expectations from their fans and the people they work with. Once they have a certain signature, they are always expected to reciprocate that and are ostracized when they don't give it. Because of that, they either go to a means of substance abuse to momentarily get away from it all, or they just give up. In Jean-Michel Basquiat's case, he did both. An artist's major fault, I believe, is forgetting who they are and where they came from once they reach that fame stage; sometimes they want to win it all, and that is what ultimately ruins their life. Winning is not worth any price at all, because you could end up losing everything you worked so hard for in the beginning. Friendships, relationships, family; all of that |

The Mongols and the AztecsThe Mongols and the Aztecs evolved on completely opposite sides of the world, so they had a substantial amount of differences. The contrasted culturally and socially. For example, religion was one of the numerous differences between the two. Also, the foundation of their societies was different as well; one being based on agriculture and the other being nomadic. However, they were not different in every aspect. The Mongols and Aztecs were similar politically because both had substantial and powerful militaries. Culturally, the Aztecs and Mongols were different, particularly with their religions. The Aztec Empire worshipped their Sun God; they believed that the sun was a gift from the Gods and that as it goes down every night, they're required to make sacrifices in order to make it rise up again the next morning. Their king had to be a descendant of the Sun God in order to rule and he lived in a large religious temple. On t |

Dubliners - Short Stories by James JoyceIt is becoming increasingly difficult to get away from the materialistic facets of the ever-changing society we live in today. If a new social media website or application is released, the masses flock to it and will not see daylight for weeks. Types of music, clothing styles, and popular culture today are changing more and more rapidly, and if one does not conform and adhere to these new styles, they are considered uncultured and an outcast or just simply elderly. This is exemplified in many of Joyce's short stories in Dubliners. "Araby" shows how the narrator thinks the only way to win over his love is to buy her materialistic goods from a bazaar, and when he does not achieve this, he becomes enraged, and a feeling of helplessness is induced. "Eveline" conveys how the domineering nature of society and family can draw one to flee their own country seeking of refuge from this very oppressiveness. Finally, "The Dead" snow strangely falls in Dublin and Gab |

Humanity in Night by Elie WieselIn the novel, Night by Elie Wiesel, the theme and concept of dehumanization is shown from start to end. The prisoners were treated throughout World War II in a horrific manner. No matter what the age or gender, they were all treated simply like animals; Without passion, without haste, they slaughtered prisoners (Wiesel 4). Elie speaks on his personal experience in the Holocaust and describes how people changed from civilized humans to vicious beings with animal like behavior. The Nazis targeted the Jews humanity, and slowly destroyed their identities of being human. The process of dehumanization starts when Elie and the rest of the Jewish community, as well as other types of people, are forced to evacuate their homes in Sighet. Through the constant beatings, killings, and torture they received in the concentration camps the process of dehumanization continued. Eventually prisoners, who were friends, as well as family, began to turn on one another. This shattered the family unit and tr |

Animal Captivity at SeaWorldAmongst many theme parks in the United States is one that stands far from any rollercoaster thriller, one that is known for exhilarating entertainment with the use of marine life known as Sea World. Alongside of major theme parks such as Disneyland and Universal Studios, Seaworld provides its visitors with an alternate unforgettable experience. Open seven days a week, you'll find enthusiastic employees that passionately love their jobs and are privileged with their working conditions, unfortunately the same cannot be said about the more important group keeping Seaworld's operations running, being their notorious killer whales. Recently addressing the controversy regarding Seaworld's captivity of Orcas, is the award nominated documentary Blackfish, which clearly presents the hidden issues behind many killer whale attacks at Seaworld theme parks, the primary cause being the immoral captivity of animals that are simply too large to adapt to Seaworld's profit driven environment.

Animal Testing - Facing the ConsequencesAccording to Collins, "each year over 100 million animals-including mice, rats, frogs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, monkeys, fish, and birds are killed in U.S. laboratories for biology lessons, medical training, curiosity-driven experimentation, and chemical, drug, food, and cosmetics testing"(1). It's hard to believe, but in the U.S, no animal experiment is illegal no matter how cruel, horrible, and irrelevant to human health. Advocates for animal rights have tried to reduce the use of animal testing due to the fact that a high percent of experimental drugs that are safe in animals fail in human clinical trials. These experiments have a negative impact on our human environment interactions with animals because animal testing is cruel and inhumane, wasteful and unreliable, and animal testing is more expensive than alternative methods. Therefore, we must respect animals. We can not respect nature, if we use animals as test subjects. Furthermore, animal testing is crue |

The Negative Effects of GMOsA genetically modified organism (GMO) is an organism whose genetic material has been altered using genetic engineering techniques. In recent years, GMOs have replaced our diet with genetically altered foods, which have harmfully affected human health as well as local communities and environments. Genetically modified organisms should not be made for any reason because it is very dangerous and therefore their results contradict the main purpose, their exposure to people can cause negative human health risks, and their usage usually results in long term damages to the environment. One reason GMOs should not be used is because in most cases, they never work right. EPAs ecological guidelines state "risk characterization includes scientific uncertainties" [Jou]. These scientific uncertainties can outcome in the destruction of the environment, but there isn't enough knowledge to determine if that'll happen. Also according to Peter Barfoot, who launched PG Economics, GMOs can cause |
