...Wikipedia website, by definition, is a surface water sport in which a person (surfer) encounters breaking waves on a surfboard. It is a well-known leisure cultural sport to the Hawaiian Islands. Many of the Locals do not believe surfing as just a sport but an outlet for a connection with the ocean and the adrenaline rush between the surfer with the waves and the board. I believe that the origin of surfing began in the Hawaiian Islands but the written history of surfing says otherwise. Before looking up how surfing originated, based on how everything evolved and migrated to Hawaii, I assumed that many of the activities we find in Hawaii are actually not authentic but found to be part of Hawaii’s lifestyle as we see today. I believe that many of the cultural things that are practiced in the Islands migrated from somewhere else and introduced to the Locals. Although it was introduced to the Locals, I think that because it was improved and specialized as the surfing we know today, I give credit to the Hawaiian Islands for the modern surfing people learn everyday. Just as the ukulele, which I thought originated from Hawaii was actually introduced to the Hawaiian Islands by Portuguese immigrants. Many of the activities or products that people assumed to be native to Hawaii may have been originated from else where but introduced to the Hawaiian Islands years later the people of Hawaii adopted these cultural aspects and made it their own. Many of the articles I have read states...

...Association, but not without a supreme amount of perseverance. During the 19th century, women were thought to be inferior to men, not only physically but intellectually as well. Women could study on their own, but to be included in class as a student rather than a "guest" was next to impossible. Where men thought that education could cause harm to women, the actuality of it was that an educated woman could cause 'harm' to that belief. Mary Whiton Calkins would show the world that her place existed next to the greatness of any male peer within Psychology as she began her own story into the world. Thankfully her parents encouraged her to thrive towards education and overcoming the inferior stereotyping given in regards to women. She graduated high school and then began forging her own legacy in her young adult years. At the age of 21 years old in 1884, she graduated Smith College with a concentration in classics and philosophy, thus beginning her breakthrough into the Science of Psychology. We have seen throughout history that in the early years of psychology, few women made an appearance...

These factors give context, content, and set the conditions and parameters in which an economy functions. The largest national economy in the Americas is the United States,[1] Germany in Europe,[2] Nigeria in Africa[3] and China in Asia.[4] A market-based economy is where goods and services are produced without obstruction or interference, and exchanged according to demand and supply between participants (economic agents) by barter or a medium of exchange with a credit or debit value accepted within the network, such as a unit of currency and at some free market or market clearing price. Capital and labor can move freely to any area of emerging shortage, signaled by rising price, and thus dynamically and automatically relieve any such threat. Market based economies require transparency...

...to modern times has lasted as the largest and most enduring one in human history. This is even more remarkable when observing the numerous leitmotifs of the Chinese society that were inaugurated so long ago, and many of these themes still resonate today. Ancestral worship, the Mandate of Heaven, and the numerous philosophical ideas, especially of Confucius, have been practiced or used for thousands of years. Remote and mysterious are two adjectives that Western Society has applied to China until recently. China is the only civilization where western thought had no influence until modern times, and also practically the only large region in the world where western men never ruled. For westerners, Chinese customs seem reversed to theirs. White is the color of mourning for the Chinese not black, and for them the left side is one of honor not the right side. Writing is read vertically from the top right-hand corner downward. These few differences reveal that Chinese culture evolved independently of western influences. One can only marvel at the longevity of Chinese civilization. Influence of Geography 2 Geography has played an important role in Chinese History as in most ancient, medieval, and modern cultures. While 85% of China is arid or inaccessible steppes, deserts or mountains, this has never kept China from creatively developing its natural resources. Today, China occupies nearly four million square miles, and is the third largest country in the world. Only ...

...An economy consists of the economic systems of a country or other area; the labor, capital, and land resources; and the manufacturing, production, trade, distribution, and consumption of goods and services of that area. A given economy is the result of a process that involves its technological evolution, history and social organization, as well as its geography, natural resource endowment, and ecology, as main factors. These factors give context, content, and set the conditions and parameters in which an economy functions. A market based economy may be described as a spatially limited social network where goods and services are freely produced and exchanged according to demand and supply between participants (economic agents) by barter or a medium of exchange with a credit or debit value accepted within the network. Capital and labor can move freely across places, industries and firms in search of higher profits, dividends, interest, compensations and benefits. Rent on land allocates this generally fixed resource among competing users. Contemporary Capitalism is a market economy in which most of the production capacity is owned and directed by the private sector. Government role is limited to provide for defense and internal security; administer justice and prisons; make laws and regulations; enforce contracts, laws and regulations; correct market imperfections and failures; ensure full employment without inflation; promote balance economic growth and development; provide...

...issue. Although there's a lot of information about feminism out there, much of it is judgmental, misinformed, or quite simply false. Women should have equal rights as men, and taking a stand to achieve this ideal with feminism is what’s slowly accomplishing this goal. According to the online Merriam-Webster dictionary, feminism is “the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities; organized activity in support of women's rights and interests.” (Merriam-Webster Dictionary, pg 1) In an article by Rachel Fudge, published in 2005 she brings up a very valid point on the issue of feminism and the many years that is has been around: “Despite 150 years of activism in pursuit of women's rights, and nearly 40 years of modern feminism, "feminism" is still considered by many to be a dirty word. In the mainstream media, when feminism is discussed at all, it's most often talked about in negative or pessimistic terms: Time's "Is Feminism Dead?" cover stories; the recent series of New York Times articles detailing how feminism has "failed" because upper-middle-class white women...

...American Propaganda and the Suppression of Dissent in World War I “May we never confuse honest dissent with disloyal subversion. “ – Dwight D. Eisenhower On June 28, 1914, the Archduke of Austria-Hungary, Franz Ferdinand, was assassinated. That event marked the first phase of World War I (Grayzel 10). Soon afterward nations throughout Europe announced declarations of war. By the end of October countries as far away as Japan, China and Brazil had become involved (Grayzel 11). Susan R. Grayzel in the “Introduction: The First World War and the Making of a Modern, Global Conflict” from The First World War: A Brief History with Documents”, explores a variety of contributing reasons for the Great War (Grayzel 9). The causes most often cited included the rise of nationalism, increased militarism, imperialism, and a willingness among the population to allow their governments to persecute a war (Grayzel 9-10). Ironically, it was a complicated series of competitive alliances and international peace agreements that caused such a rapid global escalation of hostilities (Grayzel 5). With its vast immigrant population, and their own ties to European and Asian interests, America was not immune to finding itself dragged into the war. Hence, during the first years of the war, President Woodrow Wilson struggled to maintain neutrality. So much so that he issued a declaration of neutrality to Congress on August 14, 1914. In his speech he entreated Americans to remember, “Every...

The majority of students in the United States, college students included, have little to no knowledge of Jefferson’s personal life, as many historical records skim over the details. Although Jefferson was a fascinating president and founding father, his intrigue to historians extends into his personal life, in which he fathered many children, and lived a complicated life. Jon Meacham, an author and historian, uncovers these details in his book, Thomas Jefferson: President & Philosopher. In accordance with the modern practice of leaning towards biased history, or purifying details for teaching purposes, Meacham’s strong depiction of Thomas Jefferson’s personal life is...
