...Arnold was a general of the American Revolution. He had fought for the Continental Army for most of his career for around 5 years. He had many battles, participated in the capture of the British garrison of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775, Battle of Lake Champlain in 1776, and a major part in the surrender of General John Burgoyne’s army at Saratoga in 1777. Through Arnold’s battles, he never got the credit he deserved. When he helped defeat Burgoyne, He was given hardly any credit for the work he had done compared to his higher up, General Gates. In many other battles it was similar with the issue of credit. Arnold no longer wanted to not get the credit he deserved. He later on in the war switched sides and when to help the british. The question is, was Arnold justified by his actions?Arnold is justified by his actions for wanting to leave the Continental Army, but not for joining the British. He had no right to fight against the thing he wanted, what others before him wanted and the people he fought with wanted. Leaving...

...in your textbook) that have a former colonial relationship. Why does one of these countries have a larger, more diversified economy than the other? How does the world-system model help to explain these differences? Are some places caught in a poverty trap despite decolonization? The relationship between Spain and Venezuela has changed among the centuries. All began in October 12 of 1498 when Christopher Columbus arrived in what he would call later; it’s little Venice comparing this early town with the Italian city (see maps 1 and 2 on the anexus). Over time, Spain took away most of the mineral richness of Venezuela, installing kingdoms and creating small cities around the mainland. However, not all that Spaniards left in the Latin American countries were poverty, inequality and corruption. The Iberic Empire brought a whole knowledge in economy, religion, education, culture and industrialization. In this essay I would like to explain the economics systems in Spain as well as Venezuela and their neighbors of Latin America. How was Venezuela’s society build? Which are the differences between Spain and Venezuela in the economy field? Before the colonization, different types of tribes like Caribes, Yanomamis, Wayuus, Caracas, etc populated Venezuela. They had a rudimentary economy based on trades: each family was in charged of the collecting of a different type of plants, fruits or animals. Each item had a value in references with the rest of them, for example a watermelon had...

...some people who think that global warming is not a major crisis. The fact is that the planet is getting warmer. No scientist dines that fact, but reason why varies. We the people of the United States can also do things to help stop global warming. Global warming is define as “an increase in the earth's average atmospheric temperature that causes corresponding changes in climate and that may result from the greenhouse effect.”(www.dictionary.reference.com) Over the last century the average temperature on Earth has increased by one degrees Celsius. One degree Celsius may not seem like much, but it is. Earth’s temperature depends on that giant glowing ball in the sky known as the sun. Most energy from the sun is reflected back into space, but some is trapped in by our atmosphere because of greenhouse gases which cause our temperature to rise. The temperature change caused warmer seas, which caused bigger hurricanes. For example the most recently disastrous hurricane, in 2006 was hurricane Katrina. Katrina destroyed almost all of New Orleans. Katrina also killed around two thousand people, and left thousands homeless. A warmer climate also causes draught, coastal flooding,, and...

Education is our number once source in getting sexual information out to our teens: “We have got to start educating our teenagers by introducing the ABC's for sexual education. "A-abstinence; B-be faithful; C-latex condoms." (Rosenthal 113). A type of contraceptive, also called birth control, is to do just that: control birth. Teen and teen births are greatly rising over the years due to lack of education, contraceptives, and finances. Teenagers now days do not wait till a certain age to become sexually active, more and more teens are starting at a younger age. Whether they are having sex or engaging in another form of sexual activity. “The principle behind age-of-consent law is that teens below a certain age are not mature enough to make an intelligent decision about engaging in sexual activity. Twenty-six states set the age of consent for medical making decisions at twelve years of age, yet no state sets the age sexual consent at less than sixteen. Some states provide no provisions for sexual relations between teens of the same age, provided that they are older than twelve, but there is always a penalty if one of the partners is a certain number of years older. Teens are no better prepared to make decisions about their medical health; so then the school or other public authority should inform the parents. Supporters of the lower age...

The use of movie projection called magic lantern was introduce in the Seventeenth Century. The use of different filming technique was on the rise. The thought process of movie composer consists of what they were exposed to and to shoot at different perspective. It was well thought out.

...compose stricter gun control in order to save the citizens. The United States will indeed still have its problems, but one step at a time is progress for a better country. The Second Amendment states, “A well-regulated militia being necessary to the security of a Free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.” Thousands of citizens use the Second Amendment to protect against a possible tyrannical government; therefore having a right for guns to protect the people. Anti-gun control advocates also argue that people should be allowed to have a gun for self-defense is an absolute right due to the Second Amendment; something several gun control advocates may agree or disagree with, but due to the fact 73,505 Americans were treated from firearm incidents alone in 2010 speaks for itself (Statistic on Gun Deaths & Injuries).

...The American Psychiatric Association reported the annual prevalence of dissociative identity disorder amount adults in a community study was 1.5% of the population (American Psychiatric Association, 2017). Within psychiatric clinical studies in North America, Europe, and Turkey; they have found that between 1%-5% of patients in general inpatient psychiatric units meet the diagnostic criteria for dissociative identity disorder in the DSM-IV (Study, 2011). Dissociative identity disorder is reported to occur more commonly in younger populations rather than older adults, and declines with age. Dissociative identity disorder is recorded to be more prevalent in woman than in men. It is 9 times more prevalent in women than in men, but many variables can affect this statistic. Based on the symptoms, the main assumption for the uneven ratio of gender related incidences is that females are significantly more likely to be affected by childhood sexual abuse which is the most prominent attribution to dissociation. However, males with dissociative identity disorder are less likely to seek therapy considered to women. Men are more likely to deny their symptoms or “bottle” their emotions and problems and keep them to themselves, whereas women are more likely to seek professional help. Men are also more...

...A HISTORY OF THE WORLD IN SIX GLASSES By Tom Standage (2005) PART ONE: Dialectical Journal Passage | Reaction(Reflection, Question, Connection, or Evaluation) | (Beer) “The most likely explanation for this preference is that, unlike food, beverages can genuinely be shared. When several people drink beer from the same vessel, they are all consuming the same liquid; when cutting up a piece of meat, in contrast, some parts are usually deemed to be more desirable than others. As a result, sharing a drink with someone is a universal symbol of hospitality and friendship. It signals that the person offering the drink can be trusted, by demonstrating that it is not poisoned or otherwise unsuitable for consumption.” (Page 21) | Each time I have company over, without thought to why, I have always offered my guest(s) a beverage. I’ve never even given consideration to as why drinks are often shared rather than food, much of the less never thought about what sharing a drink with someone can symbolize. I can connect this to the world by that many people authentically share drinks whether it is at a small gathering or a party for it does actually indicate hospitality, friendship, and even a sense of trustworthiness. | (Beer) “Liquids, being easily divisible, make ideal currencies.”- (Page33) | Like described in the above quote, liquid is easy to be shared equally. This allows beverages such as beer to be a system of money in general use. Once again, I’ve never given any thought to beverages...

...Carbohydrates are Killing Us Softly Thomas J. Engstrom Western Governors University WGU Student ID# 000529592 Carbohydrates are Killing Us Softly The nutritional dietary consumption of carbohydrates is between 55-75% for the vast majority of the global population as their main source of food intake and energy. And the general populous continues to be misinformed by government agencies regarding what a normal, healthy diet, should be, as well as what a balanced diet looks like. Eating a low-carb high-fat, or ketogenic, diet of high fat, adequate protein and low carbohydrates can provide many health benefits as compared to the alternative of an unhealthy diet. Research suggests that a ketogenic diet builds a healthier body than other diets because it will lead to weight loss, improved blood pressure, and reduce appetites. The ketogenic diet is the foundation for a healthy life. As noted by Dr. Eenfeldt (2014), The ketogenic diet has been referred to by different names, such as: the keto diet, low carb diet, low carb high fat (LCHF), and to some degree the Adkins Diet. The ketogenic diet is a well known diet for being associated with consuming a low amount of carbohydrates, a moderate amount of protein and high amount of fat, where the body produces ketones in the liver to be used as energy (Taubes, 2008). With a diet high in carbohydrates your body will produce glucose and insulin. Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert and use as energy, so it will...
