...Arizona Statehood & Constitution Kelli Miller Grand Canyon University: POS 301 January 22, 2013 Arizona Statehood & Constitution Arizona is recorded to have began in 1539 by the Europeans with the first documented exploration of the area by Marcos de Niza. Arizona was part of Mexico because the population was small. The United States took possession in 1848 after the Mexican-American War. Arizona split off from New Mexico in 1863, and became a state on February 14, 1912. Arizona still continues to grow today as a state in population, with retirees and tourism. I will be describing and analyzing events that have impacted Arizona becoming a state. Preterritorial Period The earliest cultures of Arizona can be speculated to have appeared around 25,000 BC. In 500 A.D., the more defined cultures emerged being known as the Hohokam whom was pit dwellers that specialized in irrigation systems. They brought water by way of canals to grow crops; and many of the remains of their canals still can be traced. The Casa Grande tells us a great deal about the achievements of the civilization. Beginning in the 11th Century, the Pueblo developed underground chambers to build their homes and cotton fiber. They lived in elaborate cliff dwellings, unlike the Hohokam. Around this time, Spanish colonist began to populate the territory in search of fortune. The Apache and Navajo whom exited Canada in the 13th century began to settle the land. This time was known for many battles and...

...Running head: PSYCOLOGICAL UNDERPINNINGS: A TASK AT HAND Psychological Underpinning: A Task At Hand Beverly Becnel Grand Canyon University: EDU 313 N February 21, 2012 The task of teaching children comes with many different avenues to choose from, but the avenue we choose is only as good as the way we plan the lesson and the child’s ability to comprehend it. Another notable factor of planning for lessons is the many theories that are available for our use. Because of the fact that children learn and develop at different stages, it is important to evaluate each child and make sure the lessons we are planning to teach is at that child’s level. In order to ensure we have chosen the best pathway for the child’s learning experience it is also important for teachers to make themselves familiar with these theories and discover when and how to use them. One theory I found to be a good resource is Behaviorism which is also known as behavioral psychology; this theory is based on the fact that all behaviors are acquired through conditioning. This conditioning can occur with the interaction of the environment. According to this theory behavior can be studied in a systematic and observable manner regardless of internal mental status (cherry, 2012). The two major types of behaviorism are classical conditioning, and operant conditioning. The classical conditioning theory is based on the act of placing a neutral signal before a naturally occurring reflex. For example you smell...

...Arizona Statehood and Constitution Arizona and Federal Government November 18, 2012 Part 1: Arizona Statehood There are many events which impacted the process of Arizona becoming a state. Each of these events is not only historical, but they are what allowed the Arizona Constitution to be written in 1910 and to finally become a state in 1912. The Arizona Constitution, when first adopted, was seen as one of the most radical documents in the United States, and even today it still has many contrasts to the U.S. Constitution. Some of the events which helped to shape the Arizona Constitution, as well as make it an official state are the Pre-territorial Period, the Spanish Period, The Mexican Period, the U.S. Controlled Period, the Territorial Period and the impact of the Progressive movement on the creation of the Arizona constitution. First, the Pre-territorial Period is probably the most politically unknown because it is impossible to reconstruct how these prehistoric communities felt about politics and democracy. However, evidence shows that people inhabited Arizona for thousands of years before the Europeans. Indians were considered to be the “first citizens” established in Arizona, long before it became a state. There are three major cultures which lived in this state, which were the Apache, the Navajo, the Hohokam and Mogollon. The Hohokam disappeared around the mid 1400’s but historians do not know why. Each group was complex in their social organizations...

...Arizona Statehood and Constitution "I believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign Nation of many sovereign States; a perfect union, one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice, and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes. I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws; to respect its flag; and to defend It against all enemies." Tyler, W (1918) -- The American's Creed. The Spanish Period, Arizona is the youngest of all the states, and the last of the 48 states to be admitted to the Statehood in 1912. Arizona’s history goes back hundreds of years. In 1535, the Spanish explorer Alvar Nunez Cabeza de Vaca, with three companions, found their way to Arizona; where Cabeza de Vaca was perhaps the first European explorer to enter Arizona territory. Arizona history states that, “His report led to further explorations of the region. The Spaniards heard stories about the great wealth of the Seven Cities of Cibola. They grew eager to find this treasure”. In the 1600s Antonio de Espejo and Juan de Onate found minerals that would make Arizona rich and increase Spanish interest in the territory. In 1752 the Spanish established the first white settlement. The Arizona history states that “the 18th...

...Christi Bickford POS 301 – Arizona and Federal Government November 11, 2012 Arizona Statehood This was the oldest time in Arizona history. There were various types of people living at this time. One of which is the Paelo people. The Hohokam people settled in the southern parts of Arizona in the early 300’s. The Hohokams introduced highly extensive canals and watering systems.. The Hohokam and Anasazi people began the process of finding new ways to be successful in producing agricultural crops. As time when on, the Hohokam people became very advanced in irrigation. They contributed to the creation and establishment of more advanced irrigation networks. Around 500BC the Pueblo people came to Arizona. These people built many elaborate residences, for those times, in the region. They were a people that developed the use of cotton fiber and underground chambers to build their homes. It is a very amazing history of the beginnings of Arizona. The people of the time were very much advanced for the time and began to master crops and homes that would flourish in the Arizona territory. During this time the Spanish colonist began to steadily populate Arizona. They were in search of the silver and other hidden treasure of the territory. Many Spanish colonists including Fray Marcos and other colonist came looking for the sliver deposits they had trouble making the territory bigger. The Apache and Tohono O’odham Indian tribes would not allow the colonist to travel north...

...HUM 130 2/28/2012 1) Cather presents Professor St. Peter as ill-at-ease with modernity. Consider how the Professor’s anti-modernist inclinations overlap with those of others who played vital roles in the shaping of the U.S. Southwest, such as the Mugwumps or Cather, herself. Specifically, you might consider how in a novel set largely in the Midwest, Tom Outland comes to personify elements of the romanticized Southwest, for the Professor, for other Midwesterners, and for the novel’s readers. The Professor has the same views as many of the people who shaped the south west especially the views of Cather. Cather and the Professor are not big fans of the changing ways in America, the economic drive in every industry made them upset. They both believed that the old world way of life was better and simpler, more pure in a sense than the new industrial very money motivated new world. Cather and the Professor are pretty much the same person, they both grew up in a more rural area, had older homes simpler lives. Then they both become very successful, they have means in which to do what they want which is ironic because they shun people trying to make a name for themselves and generate wealth. The Professor and Cather both have many similarities with the Mugwumps, again they are all against the "new money" Industrialists. They all also believe that the Southwest was a way to escape the industrial east. The problem that occurred with the Mugwumps and indeed with Cather is when...

...PHIL 3515 Arizona Immigration Law-Was it wrong? If a state passes through a law that takes away people’s rights and freedom because you’re considered to be a minority, is it racist? The law I’m referring to is the Arizona SB 1070, which was introduced in 2010 by the Arizona House Bill 2162, and then signed by Governor Jan Brewer of Arizona.2 The Arizona SB 1070 (also known as The Support Our Law Enforcement and Safe Neighborhoods Act) is a legislative Act in Arizona that at the time it was brought up, it was the widest and strictest anti-illegal immigration measure in recent U.S. history.2 The law reads that every alien living in the United States over that is fourteen years or older must have registration papers or documents in their possession at all times; if this condition isn’t followed, its considered a federal misdemeanor crime. The law also allows people in the police force to stop anyone who looks or seems to be from another country, to check if they have the right documents in their possession.2. While the law specifies who “aliens are”, the law makers and officials clearly target the Hispanic race in living in Arizona. According to the Census numbers, the Hispanic population has grown over 50% from 1990 to 2012, which also includes the number of undocumented immigrants living in Arizona.4 The total Latino population in Arizona is increasing every year and the Arizona officials believe that the only way to contain it is by forcing them out of the country. 4 I believe...

...Issues Which state claims jurisdiction on this case? Where did the injury actually occur? Facts Mr. Pounders endured asbestos exposure while living and working in New Mexico. Mr. Pounders did not develop mesothelioma until years later while he resided in Arizona. Mrs. Pounders claims that there was an incubation period, and that the injury occurred when they were residing in Arizona. Enserch claims that the injury occurred in New Mexico where Mr. Pounders initially came into contact with the asbestos. Rules Arizona follows Jackson v. Chandler, 204 Ariz. 135, 136 PP 5, 61 P.3d 17, 18 (2003). Section 175, entitled “Right of Action for Death,” initially directs us to look to….the local law of the state where the injury occurred…unless with respect to the particular issue, some other state has a more significant relationship under the principles sated to the occurrence and the parties in which event the local law of the other state will be applied. The first Restatement adopted the rule of lex loci delicti, or “place of wrong,” as the controlling factor when determining which state’s law applied. It defined the “place of wrong’ as where the “last event necessary to make an actor liable for an alleged tort takes place.” Restatement (First) of Conflict of Laws 377. Note 1 to 377 explains that the place of wrong is where the “harmful force takes effect upon the body.” Read in conjunction with 377’s last-event-necessary rule, Note 1 clarifies that the harmful force takes effect...

And today I need something to do. I'm sure today is the day! The sky is gray, the rain is falling, well sprinkling actually, and the fish have got to be out. That pink little rod is going to go through some serious flex when a big one is hanging on. It'll be stuck, but saying that it's hanging makes me feel a little better about myself... I've got the hot dogs ready to go and my guy to fix the line when it gets tangled. Just a few hours of work left and I'll be nooodlin'! Pictures to come!

...will be the Navajo’s beliefs and values, sickness and healing, kinship, and their social organization. “Pastoralists are those who regularly move in search of naturally occurring grass and water.” (Nowak & Laird, 2010) Navajo’s are an Indian tribe that live on reservations and sometimes reside on public domains outside of the reservations. The Navajo nation is the largest reservation in North America. The Navajo tribe is the natives of what is called the Four Corners region that reside in Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. Navajo’s call themselves Dineh, meaning “the people.” “Up until 1848, the land on which the Navajos lived had belonged to Mexico. The Navajos had to continually fight not only the Spanish, but also other Indian tribes in order to live on this land.” (Oracle ThinkQuest, The Navajo People) They continued this fight up until the 1850’s and 1860’s when Americans built Fort Defiance for the Navajo country, near what is now called Window Rock, Arizona. Only soon to be captured and killed by the Americans. After having to surrender and forced to walk 300 miles to Fort Sumner in eastern New Mexico and years of being treated horribly they were allowed to return to their homeland. After many years of this they finally got to return to their normal lives of farming, herding sheep, and weaving. They valued their sheepherding and weaving. This became their way of life. “They found value from the Curro sheep, including fiver for weaving and...
