The adventure began in 1970 when a British journalist teamed up with Acar to determine if one of the best museums in the world had in fact, knowingly purchased looted antiquities. The alleged theft took place in a region in southwestern Turkey called Usak. The looters took “363 objects, including gold and silver vessels and jewelry, a pair of marble sphinxes, and some pieces of wall painting”. Once the Turkish authorities had determined the objects as illicit, they filled a lawsuit in Manhattan. After being humiliated by nationwide and worldwide newspapers, in September 1993, the Metropolitan Museum of Art issued an apology and sent back the Lydian treasures to Turkey.

B) The Arabs knew that their enemies would get lost there. A network is an interconnected system. The roads and sea routes between major cities that trade goods back and forth makes up a true network.

United States. Brandon Mayfield was detained for being falsely accused of involvement with the 2004 Madrid train bombings due to an erroneously read fingerprint (Mayfield v. United States, 2010).

Once Mayfield was found to have no involvement in the bombing he was released and offered monetary compensation for the distress caused to his family and himself. However, no monetary amount could correct the trauma that was brought upon this man by his own government.

Around 65,000 square kilometers of flat wetlands where the Niger River splintered into hundreds of creeks and swamps before emptying into the Gulf of Guinea was one of the richest lands of earth. Multiple clans and ethnicities lived there harvesting the likes of crabs, mussels, shrimp and other ocean creatures and they used the fresh water from the Niger’s river for drinks. They also benefited from the mangrove forests which provide them with fruits, medicines and materials for rope and carvings. By the time oil was found in the delta, and for the following centuries, this place had been exploited by colonies for slaves’ trade, and other various extraction of natural wealth.
Central Idea and Purpose The central purpose of all three pieces of media, The civil rights documentary, the news article on Emmet Till, and the song about Till all were created to show the racism that was prevalent at the time. The documentary discusses the murder of Dr king and lynching that took place in the deep south and wanted the viewer to see that during the 1960’s being black was incredibly unfair. You weren’t given the same rights as the white’s and it really wants you to look back and think about how horrible people were and how horrible people were and just how bad it was.

Behind Romney’s Decision to Attack Obama on Libya by David E. Sanger and Ashley Parker (New York Times) In an article published on September 12, 2012, journalists focus on Mitt Romney’s decision to attack Obama’s foreign affairs and draw some spotlight to him. Recently, the Obama administration has been dealing with increasing tensions in Cairo, an area in which protests have been occurring and most importantly, the deaths of the ambassador to Libya and others. Romney states in his speech that instead of apologizing for America and the violence that has happened in diplomatic facilities of this area, the Obama administration should have defended the interests of Americans more efficiently. The next day, we learn that the events that occurred in this region have become clear and in fact Romney’s statement is wrong. Now the tables have turned and the criticism turns to Romney and his reasoning for this attack on Obama.
In the novel Midaq Alley by Naguib Mahfouz, the story takes place in a poor neighborhood called Midaq Alley in the city of Cairo during the World War II era, which depicts its inhabitants’ struggle with the traditional Islamic values of the past and the forthcoming westernization. Furthermore, the atmosphere and environment under which the characters lived in also shaped the precondition of their struggle. Thus, the central theme of this novel is the cultural shift or the changes of the existing Islamic tradition in Egypt induced by westernization and other foreign influence brought in by the British during the 1940’s era. In the narration of this novel, it portrays the characters’ clash with this cultural shift in their ambition, internal thoughts and actions. In the end, many of the Midaq Alley inhabitants’ lives were completely altered and concluded in tragedy due to the modern ideas introduced to them.
