Turner believed that the idea of the frontier shaped the American being and their characteristics. He talks about how the frontier drove American history and that is why America is how it is today. Turner proves how expansion to the American West changed peoples' views on their culture. Due to the gain of new lands, this aided the problem of the closing frontier, and helped America become a rising world power. Teddy Roosevelt gave out a command to invade the Philippine islands if war had risen with Spain.
Using these figures and assuming that both heavy and medium users (those buying between 1-9 pounds of cyano-acrylates per year) are potential customers; the maximum size of this market is estimated at 81,000 purchases. At 157.50 per unit, even with 100% penetration the market will not be worth more than $12.77 million in sales, with a more realistic estimate being $ 4 million in sales. The disparate nature of usage patterns across firms make it difficult to identify critical variables that can form the basis of segmenting the market. Possible ways to segment customers is on the basis of nature of the firm (small firm vs. large firm); sector of business (which industrial markets to target), current usage behavior (heavy CA usage vs low CA usage), nature of work (OEM vs MRO), and brand loyalty (SuperBonder usage vs competitors). Given that data about
After Junior transferred to Reardan - a school with a lot rich white kids, every his new classmate seems a racist, they made fun of him just like in reservation. On the other side he was treated as “traitor” in Rez, Junior fits in nowhere! He was struggled to survive between the Indian and white people, he has to learn to be not just an
This establishment quickly collapsed and the first permanent English colony of Jamestown was established 20 years later in 1607. With over a 100 year head start on England it would make sense that Spain capitalized the most on the New World; however it is quite the opposite. The differences in the colonization process helped England capitalize more by giving them the resources needed to bring them into the Industrial Revolution, and led Spain into a period of decline. There are many differences in how England and Spain colonized the new world. These differences include; the location of the colonized land, the treatment and relationship of the natives, reason for colonization, and the capitalization of the natural resources.
It contained well over 130 ships and at least 30,000 men (“The Spanish Armada” pg 89- Walter Buehr). The great fleet started to leave port on May 28, 1588; it took two days for every ship to actually set sail towards England (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_Armada). The Spanish were not fully prepared for what they were trying to accomplish, even though they had what seemed to be the greatest force known for that era. The ships in which they sent were mostly merchant ships converted into war galleons, given
“I have often wondered at the savagery and thoughtlessness with which our early settlers approached this rich continent.”In this sentence alone lets the readers know how he felt towards the early settlers that they were inconsiderate, selfish, unruly group of people that didn’t really know better in a sense. 2) What is the author’s intent in using the term, “half-breed children” in the 2nd paragraph on page 69? How does the previous sentence lead you to understand his use of this word? “The few who stayed, who lived among the Indians, adopted their customs and some took Indian wives and were regarded as strange and somehow treasonable creatures. As for their half-breed children, while the tribe sometimes adopted them they were unacceptable as equals in the eastern settlements.”I believe the author intended the term “half-breed children” to mean multiracial because in the previous sentence it leads me to understand that the settlers that were growing a custom to the Native American
This is partially a result of economic and political unrest (“Arab American Immigration,” 2013). In 2000, the estimate was that there were 1.2 million Arab Americans, with that number increasing to 1.9 million in recent years (“Arab American Institute,” 2013). Continuing in this trajectory, Arab American population should reach 2.8 million. Many Arab Americans are born in the United States (despite accepted stereotypes) and almost 82% are citizens (Abraham, 2000). Arab’s heritage span reveals a culture thousands of years old.
Their economic, social and cultural levels are barely noticeable. Many lack of arable land, water and communications. Normal Schools, especially in rural areas, were born with the idea of giving the opportunity to the poorest communities in Mexico to access an education that will help to improve their lives. Attacks on Ayotzinapa students who have mourned students and activists across the country, are the most violent onslaught that the student movement has received since 1968. But it is part of an ongoing and systematic harassment exerted by the three levels of government against rural normal school.
In 1492 Christopher Columbus set sail under the Spanish flag, sparking Spain’s colonization era. Spain created a powerful, wealthy empire, which was hard to compete with. England was also allies with Spanish for the first half of the sixteenth century, taking little interest in establishing colonies. England, however, finally gained confidence over Spain in 1588 when they beat the Spanish Armada. The defeat brought about English nationalism and in contrast Spain was humiliated and nearly emptied its national treasury, (Defeat of the Spanish Armada).
His discovery of the New World not only proved that the sail across the Atlantic Ocean was entirely possible also shaped history. Upon arrival to the present day Caribbean Columbus claimed the New World in the Name of Queen Catherine and King Ferdinand of Spain and with that thrust Spain into vast riches and a top standing in European Society. The understanding of world geography changed with Columbus discovery of the New World, up until then the general consensus of most scholars was that the world was small. Very small actually, so Christopher Columbus’s miscalculation of the Atlantic Ocean’s size was in direct relation to the idea that on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean was the most eastern coast of China. Luckily for Christopher Columbus the unknown existence of the New World saved him and his crew from starvation and death.
