...Korean Peace – The Impending Danger Wars have rarely been the solution to prejudices in the history of mankind. Yet wars have always been fought ruthlessly to quench the human desire of domination and power. The obsession to enforce one’s own ideology, and the need to prevail and survive have led to countless major military conflicts in the human history. Wars shape the future of human existence whatever their outcome. The Korean War, a war with many names, was one of the most brutal wars in the recent history impacting the lives of people globally and killing millions. An analysis of the war assists not only to understand the sequence of events but also helps in understanding its impact on the present world politics and future of human...

...Syllabus World History Summer 2015 History 101 Dr. Mahdavi Student Learning Goals for Content and Skill Acquisition: This is a course in the history of the human community from approximately 1500 C.E. to the present. The course differs from the traditional Western Civilization class in that the entire world rather than Europe alone is the focus of study. The central questions the course will ask are these: What is Modernity, that is, what do we mean when we ask of "the modern world" in which we live? How have the political, social, cultural, and economic forces that we associate with modernity changed our world and its people during the past 500 years? Why has the intercommunication, interaction, and interdependence of the peoples of the world become so much more intense during the past 500 years than they were in earlier ages? How and why did western civilization rise to global domination in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and how has the challenge of western power and cultural prestige affected the course of history of all the World's people? Finally a question that we should be asking throughout the semester: how have the patterns of world history over the past 500 years determined or affected 1) the way we now live and think, and 2) our prospects for peace, prosperity, and the "pursuit of happiness" in the coming decades? This course is NOT primarily a narrative survey of civilizations, dynasties, and nations. The history of humankind...

...have discovered the New World before Christopher Columbus (Amerigo Vespucci, Gale). During the time before Vespucci set out on his exploration journey towards the New World, Columbus had made his first two voyages to the West Indies, and he returned from the second to Seville, Spain on June 1496 (Amerigo Vespucci, Gale). He and Vespucci met and talked, but Vespucci appeared to have been skeptical of Columbus' claim that he had reached the outskirts of Asia. He wanted to see the new lands himself, because he was a curious person who was determined to explore. He journeyed to the New World and sailed around South America, specifically Brazil....

...fantastic cultural project, creating and building the world as much as measuring and describing it.” The introductory paragraph mentions the “agency” of mapping. It is not until later in the reading that one begins to understand what is meant by the “agency”. The intentions become clearer once we define the term agency. The dictionary Merriam-Webster defines the operation as “the capacity, condition, or state of acting or of exerting power” and in an instrumentality sense: “a person or thing through which power is exerted or an end is achieved”. So as Mr. Corner later describes maps have an immense power over us, of how we view the world, what things are important to us, and in turn the maps we create have the power to guide us in certain direction, or from a certain point of view. At times Corner speaks about agency of mapping as if he feels that it should become a field of study as a whole, because of all the different elements that it envelopes; the study of natural processes and historical context to name a few. That the creation of a map should not be simply to record or trace. A map is a collection of data that represents information gathered during mapping. According to Corner a map is much more than data about a location. A map speaks about what is important to the individual, to the city, to the country and culture. A map can express the feelings of a person towards a certain topic, how that person sees the world. A maps can be used to express views, experience of that...

...What is the world to us? Dennis Cosgrove demystifies the many definitions and perspectives of the world in his essay “mapping the world”. It is made clear from early on that there is an important distinction between the words “world”, “globe” and “earth”. Cosgrove identifies that in our modern day, these terms are interchanged with often no regard to their true meaning. The essay works in chronology to help the reader understand these definitions, their important roles and why they are so easily interchanged today. Cosgrove paints a big picture covering many points of history and aspects of mapping leading to an overall compelling essay. Once Cosgrove has presented the proper definitions of the terms, he proceeds to seminal maps that shaped human understanding of these terms. It is interesting to see that just like with early writing and symbol making, humans distinguished the difference between their person and the other. In Symbol making, this allowed early humans to alter their surroundings and to “create”. In map making this is taken a step further as the “person” and the “other” are generalized to collectives of people. Through Cosgrove’s studies we can understand that early mapping placed an importance of spirituality. It helped humans visualize what they deemed important, and what they deemed to be...

...Time for Kids is a great website that presents current events going on throughout the world. The articles from this website are easy to read, yet give concise information. In my classroom, I would allow the students to pick an article from the website. They would read the article, give a few details about what they read, and then write about why the information that they read is important or how it impacts their life. Students would then share their articles and what they wrote to their partners. Current events are very important for students to know about. The writers at Time for Kids do a fantastic job at writing kid-friendly articles that present pertinent information. When students know about the world around them, it allows them to value...

...Ancient Egypt vs. Mesopotamia The decision to write this Paper came about as soon as I read the subject. I am in love with Ancient Cultures. It is very interesting to me to study and learn new things about the style of life peoples of ancient times lead, the type of housing and furniture ancient peoples possessed, the foods and resources they had at hand, as well as the religious and other daily values which ancient peoples believed in. To compare the Ancient Egyptian civilization to the civilization of Ancient Mesopotamia is surely going to be a task which will not be easy, especially since it is my personal believe that both of these grandiose civilizations cannot be compared to one another. Comparing the Ancient Mesopotamian Civilization to the Civilization of Ancient Egypt is not really possible once you think about the difference of years between the beginnings of each of these Civilizations. Mesopotamia is considered to be at the least 5000 years older than Ancient Egypt. The earliest civilized form of Human development in Mesopotamia is known to Historians to have occurred between 10500-3500 BC (Mayan Archeology), whilst Historians believe the Ancient Egyptian Civilization to have started between the years of approx. 5500- 3100 BC, which is what is considered the Pre-dynastic Period. (Experience ancient) While Ancient Egypt started to develop Mesopotamia already made big progress in forms of Farming, building the first settlements...

...A vacation to New Zealand, even with similarities to the United States, requires a certain amount of preparation; it is not a three-hour trip to Disney, it is a 17-hour time difference that requires knowledge of: local customs, location, weather, current issues, and future expectations. New Zealand: Having never been to New Zealand, I find it very interesting that it was the last major landmass that humans discovered (Wilson). Though the time line is heavily debated, most scientists approximate that man settled some time 800 years ago. In comparison to North America, which is somewhere around 25,000 years, New Zealand is still young (Warner pg. 47). Important Considerations Location, Climate, and Topography: • Southeast of Australia, New Zealand is similar in size to Colorado; its southern location from the Equator means opposite seasons from Europe and North America. • New Zealand’s climate is classified as Cbf (Fig. 2). • Most of the North Island lies on the Australia Plate, where as the South Island is on the Pacific Plate (Fig. 1). This, combined with active volcanoes, creates a hotbed for seismic and volcanic activity (CIA). • One quarter of the earthquakes have been below a 2.0 magnitude, but within the last year alone, New Zealand has seen 17,246 earthquakes with a majority ranging from 0-5 magnitudes (Geonet). (Fig. 2) Link: http://koeppen-geiger.vu-wien.ac.at/. Topography • New Zealand formed after the collision of the Australian and...

...Within Australian culture the phrase The Mahogany Ship refers to a putative, initial shipwreck that is reputed to lie beneath sand dunes west of Warrnambool. The phrase along with the question of how it would have an impact on Australia’s history relates back to the Eighteenth through to the Twentieth Century; a period of time in which our continent was engulfed with inquisitive explorers seeking untouched soil. Shockingly, this ancient ship is continuing to exhaust historians as its wreck and background will potentially rewrite the entire record of Australian history. Since the Eighteenth Century British explorer James Cook has been acknowledged for discovering the south east coast of Australia. However the theory of the Mahogany...

...American History: Our Hope for the Future Today, history, as a body of knowledge, encircles not only the events of the past but also the consequences that affect our future. History shapes our lives today. It largely affects the way we think, speak, and interact with each other is all affected by history. The impact of history on society is so significant, it practically molds our future. Look around, we have running water, telephone, electricity, vehicles, and so much more inventions that make life simpler. However, if someone in the past had not thought of these inventions then our present would be completely different. History has a such an enormous impact on society because the interaction between the society and its past is an unending one. History is not simply about facts and dates, instead look at it as if it was a map. It helps provide information that dictates where we came from and where we are going. Decisions and events in history have directed events in the present. Visualize a world without the modern medicine we have today. It’s hard to believe that a few centuries ago diseases were viewed to be caused by evil spirits or it was punishment for sinners. In the 19th century, Louis Pasteur’s work led to the acceptance of the germ theory, this allowed for cures to developed to destroy many...

...study of the brain using imaging, and they use these imaging machines to make a map of the neurons and synapses in our brain to figure out why people are the way they are. The history of brain mapping is important to understanding how far it has come today. There are many different machines that are used to take a look at the brain. When treating a patient there are different ways doctors can go about using brain mapping. This field just as any other field, is growing every day and never know what tomorrow could bring. Brain mapping has brought us many accomplishments in the medical field, understanding how it got there is the first step to the process. Taking a look at history can be boring at times, but when talking about the brain nothing is boring. In the early 1900’s is when humans first started to realize that our brain did a lot of the work compared to the rest of our bodies. People were shocked because how can that be, something you cannot see is the whole reason why you are the way you are. After this was discovered people wanted to take a look at this and start understanding it more. The first imaging machine ever used was the X-Ray machine in 1895. This machine is what gave the idea of using more machines to take a closer look at the brain. These different machines are how we are taking an even closer look at the brain than ever before. This is how doctors are able to construct a map of what is going on inside the mushy part of our bodies that is called our brain...
