These turned his attention to the great task of subduing them to the purposes of civilization, and to the task of advancing his economic and social status in the new democracy which he was helping to create. Art, literature, refinement, scientific administration, all had to give way to this Titanic labor. How is American frontier different than the European frontier? Turner's idea of the American frontier was a place open for settlement; without (generally) a strong military presence to restrict this.

Behaving Brain 1. Explain the major concepts of evolutionary theory, such as natural selection and variation. Charles Darwin created the theory of evolution and helped us to understand the roots of behavior and mental process. Natural selection states: variations increasing that odds of reproducing and surviving are most likely to be passed on to future generations, this has shaped our traits and behavior tendencies. Nature has selected advantageous variations from the mutations and new gene combo's produced at each human understanding.

Global study is the innovation of raising technologies and intercommunications around the world. It is a “perspective that looks as human society as a whole” (p.1) and integrates past history events into the new advanced world to make it a better place. The transition from the early continental empires to later colonial empires had such an astounding impact on the course of world history because it created a system of governance based on conquest and led to the development of political, economic, and cultural integration. Thus, those elements changed and shaped the world we live in today. The system of governance based on conquests ignited the world to divide itself into sections.
One of history’s most influential social changes occurred during the studies of Darwin which launched a new social philosophy and changed the way the disadvantage individuals and poverty were thought of in the United States (Martin, 2011). The father of Social Darwinism, Charles Darwin had a theory that the human world consists of a natural selection. The theory ensures that the strongest organisms survive whereas the weak perishes guaranteeing the survival of the species. Darwin’s theory however did not take root until the mid-19th century with the United States (Martin,
