The first couple of years were not easy for the settlers. The question is Why did so many colonist die? To start off with, one of the problems they faced was environmental problems. Many of Jamestown’s colonist died because of brackish water which was some salty water due to the mixture of fresh and salt water, because of the tides that would happen twice daily. Also, they would dump their human waste into the water and make it even more contaminated so when the people of Jamestown would drink or use the water it would make them ill and even to the point that they died.
The result was deaths most likely caused by lack of food. Another cause of many deaths would be fights that erupted because of fights with the Powhatan Indians, the main group of native people in which they traded with. With both parties relying on each other for food, a lack there of may have caused many people to be killed by Indians who needed food because of the drought which also affected their ability to grow things. [Doc.C] Shows in a group of one-hundred and ten colonists, a vast majority of them were gentlemen. Gentlemen were wealthy men not used to working with their hands.
Most indigenous people were treated unfairly or poorly and worked long, hard hours. During the earlier years of conquest, the colonial church was still a whole. The church organization had created two distinct branches, secular and regular clergy. This would then be spread around the word of Christianity to save souls. By incorporating this belief into the inhabitants, the indigenous people would then believe their way of living was wrong and
Unit Learning outcome(s) Assessment criteria Questions 385 3 3 Explain the changes that have occurred in society as a result of Disability Legislation. Answers For centuries, most people with disabilities have been excluded from mainstream society, based on the notions that disability was something to be feared or pitied (linked to cultural taboos), or more recently, that disability was a problem of the individual – something that could be ‘corrected’ to a certain extent through medical and rehabilitative treatment, frequently in specialist, segregated centres. These approaches are generally referred to as the charity model and the medical model of disability and led to the social exclusion of disabled persons. In recent years, there has been a growing emphasis on the social and physical environmental factors constraining the participation of disabled persons in the world of work in society more generally. This trend has led to an increasing recognition of the rights of persons with disabilities and their status as citizens.
The government now recognizes that the consequences of the Residential Schools were completely wrong and that this has had a lasting and damaging impact on Aboriginal culture, heritage and language. While some former students have spoken positively about their experiences at residential schools, these stories are far overshadowed by tragic accounts of the emotional, physical, sexual abuse, neglect of helpless children, and their separation from their families and communities. Unfortunately, many former students had died before hearing the much needed apology that would hardly compensate for the childhood that they lost. The residential schools have left most Aboriginal people resenting our culture and government. For good reason, most former students are left trying to cope with their emotional scares.
Government policy attempted to destroy tribal culture and assimilate Indian people into mainstream culture with many negative results. The Ghost Dance represented a last attempt to resist American policies and practices. Throughout the nation, Indian tribes adjusted to their circumstances with mixed results. In 1871, the U.S government formally ended the treaty system, but not completely abolishing the sovereignty of Indian nations. Majority of Indian people lived in poverty and misery, deprived of their traditional means of survival and more often than not, subjected to fraud by corrupt government officials and private suppliers.
Basically by being controlled by the missions meant they were stuck between the two worlds. They were being urged to give up all their beliefs and values to live the same way as the European’s way of life but they were still being looked down upon and treated like they were a waste of space. In most cases they were not accepted by either the Aboriginal or the European communities. One of the consequence the Aboriginal people suffered in the attempt of being ‘civilized’ by the missions was the serious medical conditions that came from the forced change of lifestyle. The death toll was often very high in the missions because of the new dieses the Aboriginal people were opened up to.
Whatever the cause of the fallen Empire of Rome, many people have been comparing it to the recent decline of the US on the world stage, which also has many of its own causes. One reasonable cause of the Roman Empire is its military/army. Many people say that the army got out of hand due to lowering of standards of discipline. When the disciplinary standards of the army began to decline, so did the empire. The reason for this is because the army couldn’t defend the empire.
Immoral sexual behavior and the pursuit of political advancement led members of the upper classes to avoid marriage, divorce more frequently, and have fewer traditional relationships. As result, the Roman population, already greatly diminished by the civil wars, experienced a noticeable decline in the birth rate. In response Augustus added an important moral dimension to his political program. He passed legislation to encourage marriage and childbearing. The unmarried and the childless suffered political and financial penalties while those with three or more children received special privileges.
As a result a lot of the Aboriginal culture was lost. ii) Many children were confused about who they were, when they went home to the reserve they found that they could not help out with their community because residential schools stripped them
