Humans are interesting in the way that they come up with names for everything. Every object in this world must have a label so we may understand what another person is speaking about when we communicate. Names and labels are an integral part of language and communication; without them, we would never know to what anybody is referring. The story is no different when it comes to human beings themselves. We all have names in order to identify ourselves, whether to friends, co-workers, or verifiable government documents. Our names are essentially who we are. Some people come upon their ...

Language is a growing and living phenomenon and is always evolving by borrowing different words from different languages and absorbing them. Globalization is one of the reason languages evolve by being influenced by other languages due to high exposure of foreign countries. The American English is more open and flexible while British English is stricter with its rules, however, it has also evolved during the years and many words from other languages have been seen added to the English dictionaries(Pandey).
A lot of the fairy tales in English have always started off with ‘once upon a time’ which ...

Part IV Question

Colonization of America by the European countries began in the late 15th century. The colonization was mostly motivated by the Europe desire to acquire wealth. The European colonialists justified their move by stating that they wanted to civilize indigenous people. The famous phrase “God, Gold and Glory” incredibly summarizes the colonialists’ motives. Explorers, Amerigo Vespucci, Diego Alverez Chanca, Hernando Cortes, and Samuel de Champlain spoke on their aspiration to extend the political boundaries of Europe and to advance European economies. Vespucci, Chanca, Cortes, and Samuel de Champlain emphasized their intent to convert Indigenous people to Christianity. Some of the ...

Some of the Spanish cities that were founded at the time of colonization were Santo Domingo in 1496, Puerto Rico in 1508, Panama in 1519 and Veracruz or Mexico 1496.
In North America, the Spanish missions were Christian missions and they had ...

Introduction

Religion has been used as a form of excuse throughout history. Religion acted as the driving force for worse atrocities ever imagined in America. The Spanish made use of several atrocities to carry out the colonization process that ranged from offering human sacrifices, killing of innocent people and torturing people all in the name of religion. The main reason for Spanish colonization in North America was to explore, conquer and settle politically in most of the western hemisphere. The colonization process was started by the Spanish conquistadors and accelerated by the Monarchy of Spain. Since then, the Spanish have ...

Ineffective Video: “Worst Ever Pitch” from Dragon’s Den

Criteria 1: The most egregious mistake made in the presentation is the fact that the presenter/inventor did not perform proper research and planning, from the establishment of a patent to approval from public services to use the Flow Signal technology on street signs.
Criteria 2: The presenter seemed particularly ill-prepared for the presentation. He is nervous and shy in his delivery, stammering and speaking quietly. He also often makes mistakes when trying to demonstrate the technology, leading to uncomfortable silences.
Criteria 3: The presented seems uniquely incapable of taking criticism, particularly when he tries to interject about “the traffic ...

Response to Notes on the British Empire

One interesting point among the notes is the introduction of the term colonial and the later context supplied. It is true that most Americans recognize colonial as a part of our nation’s history. Typically it is associated with a specific time period: the early years of our country. However, by providing a global context for the term, it shifts the audience from a cultural mindset to a global frame of mind.
Further, it is interesting to read the supplied definition of colonialism because the actual definition is not tied to a specific timeframe, as it typically is when ...

History as we know it is always written in the bird’s eye view. It is always in the perspective of the victors. Those who subjugated lands and people that include Christopher Columbus wrote heroic actions of expedition to save the wretch from damnation or to civilize the savages. Spain, Portugal and other conquistadores in the 13th to 18th century used Christianity in their search for gold, slaves and glory. Howard Zinn’s book entitled, “History is a Weapon” mentioned that the conquests of Spain and other powerful countries during the colonial era was written in history in ...

Prostitution in Spain is tremendously rampant. It is worth noting that the aspect of prostitution in the Spanish constitution is not illegalized. The only thing that is illegal is pimping. There is mush tolerance of prostitution in Spain. These are attributed to the fact that it existed through the 17th century during the medieval period. In critical analysis, prostitution in Spain is a problem. The prostitutes are working in various parties of the country following the high demand from men. Everywhere from clubs, to roadside restaurants prostitution is a practice that is permitted by law. In critical analysis, prostitution ...

Contrary to the belief of most of the people, the USA had no official language in the country. Though federal legislators have proposed making English the official business language of the country, that legislation never sees the face of the approval. The first ‘English Language Amendment’ (ELA) was introduced by the senator of California, S. I. Hayakawa. However, that amendment was rejected by the Congress. Though this proposal of making English the official language of the USA appeared many a time, it never turned into a law (Brice 2013). There is a huge debate on this issue. This paper ...

After listening to the Spanish album and more specifically the songs that were done by Enrique Iglesias, I realized that there are certain differences in them. The difference between the Spanish songs and the English were songs were not very many, but a few that existed could be easily seen. There are different aspects through which the differences in them could be observed.
First, there was the issue of length. English songs are moderately short as compared to the Spanish songs. The Spanish songs tend to take a long time. Some go as long as 9 minutes. These were ...

Fairy tales are types of stories that characteristically feature European folkloric fantasy characters like dwarves, giants or even witches and magic among others. They take place once upon a time rather than real time. Pan's Labyrinth a Mexican-Spanish fantasy film is one such fairy tale. Although some claim that Pan's Labyrinth is not a Fairytale, there are sufficient reasons to support that indeed it is a fairy tale (Zipes 15).
The story takes place during the early Francoist period about five years after the Spanish civil war. It is starred by a character Ofiela haunting the Spanish maquis who ...

Dear Lieutentant Governor David Dewhurst & Speaker Joe Straus:

Immigrant families are likely to experience poverty and other hardships in the process of settling in Texas. Of focus to our group is the gap in meeting the needs of children of immigrants, particularly in regard to early childhood education. The research on early access to formal education increasingly points to the benefits to social development in children (Haskins, 1989). Amidst the evidence of the gains to be achieved among children in early childhood education, immigrant parents tend to demonstrate apprehension about its benefits (Tobin, 2005).
The Texas Education Agency aims to provide opportunities for young children so they ...

Christopher Columbus, after many failed requests for royal aid, finally boarded the Hispaniola under Prince Henry’s interest to broaden Christianity in 1492.

Recent findings have revealed that African people have made close encounters with the Natives during the pre-Columbian era (Clegg). The indigenous people were farmers who already traded fish and timbers with neighboring countries. The locals have ...

The three nations of the United States, Spain, and Portugal have had a long and winding history as independent states often entangled in their desire for territorial expansion. These clashes may be traced to their governmental and political differences – determined by the way they elect their leaders, legislate, and govern amongst themselves. These differences mostly relate to their form of government, as well as the means by which their citizens can participate in the election process.
The structure of the government of the United States is divided into three distinct divisions: the judicial, executive, and legislative branches. All three ...

1. Respond to the primary document from Bartolome de Casas’ ‘The Devastation of the Indies’ which sharply criticized Spanish colonization. Comment on the situation in light of the document entitled “Requirements of 1513.”
The Bartolome de Casas writing, ‘The Devastation of the Indies,’ proved that there can never be a single interpretation of historical events. Some of the brutality describes an unthinkable brutality filled with human indignities, and disrespect for other people. The introduction of de Casas’ book suggests that labor exploitation does not account for the unnecessary cruelty perpetrated upon the native Indian peoples. One introduction passage explains “ ...

On April 21st, 1898 America became involved in its first war with Spain when it declared war on Spain ostensibly to fight for Cuba and the Philippines, and also for the mysterious explosion of the Main, which the American office of the present blamed on the Spanish. Sarcastically, this war has been referred to as a “Splendid little war.” It got this nickname because there was a lot of criticism of the war as an “ill-conceived war.” Critiques came from America, who had criticized Europe for imperialistic, expansionist doctrine.
The Treaty of Paris was the resolution finally signed between ...

The confrontation between Britain and Spain in 1588 was the result of two different religious systems: Protestantism and Catholicism. England was ruled by Queen Elizabeth I. Spain had a strong King Philip II. Both countries had a big fleet. The Spanish Armada was the most powerful in hat times1. The Spanish Armada went into the sea. Its target was the invasion of England. Few believed that the Armada could fail, but its defeat was complete and final. To this day, historians try to answer to the question, why the fleet crashed near the Ireland? Was the account of the ...

The Spanish set out to colonize with the aim of mining gold and silver; this made them enslave the native people to work in the mines extracting the precious metals. Upon their arrival, they found the native people surviving on hunting and gathering while others were farming along the rivers. The first colonization of the southwest began with the discovery of silver in Zacatecas and establishment of the mine in the same place. With time, the Spanish brought about their language, religion and customs, doing away with the culture that they found in Southwest. A regional culture came about ...

For the past recent years, there has been domination of the Spanish public sphere by intense debates concerning historical memory and the restoration of the past, centered on the years of the Franco dictatorship (1939-1975) and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), and the conversion to democracy during the instantaneous post-Franco period. The early years following the new regime brought a silencing of the past injustices in order to simplify the nonviolent transition to democracy with commentators contending that "political absolution" got to be mistaken for "recorded amnesia" for the sake of national compromise. As an outcome, the stories of ...

Hernan Cortes’ pre-conquest assessment of the Aztecs is one of the famous episodes in the history of the Spanish conquests. In the second letter to Charles V, Cortes gives an account of the pre-conquest assessment of the Aztecs. To start with the Aztecs had an unpleasant tribute system, which was not popular among the Mexicans. The harsh tribute system allowed Cortes to play the role of a liberator.

The Spanish conquistadors found it just to attack the indigenous people for a variety of reasons. Compared to the Indians, the Spanish saw themselves as superior people and as such it was their right to conquer the uncivilized, aboriginal people whom they found in the new land. The Spanish seemed more cultured in comparison and they justified their attacks on the Indians by saying that it was all right to attack them as long as the rule of law was followed.
The other reason for justifying their attacks on the natives is was that the Spanish conquistadors had convinced ...

Globalization may be described as the increased interconnectedness and flows between world regions and cultures. Today, this interconnectedness is apparent in major events. Although globalization is usually associated with positive outcomes, it may have negative ones as well. For example, when disasters happen on the world stage, the interconnectedness and flow between regions accentuates the problem. No disaster depicts this fact clearer than the Prestige tanker disaster. In November 19 2002, The Beaches of Galicia in North-Western Spain were covered in thick sheets of heavy fuel oil known as Crude oil 4 (Gimenez 1). This was part of a ...

As people from different cultures sought to break the boundaries between them, they interacted in various ways over time. Contact zones as used in Pratt’s text are social spaces in which cultures come together and clash, especially where greatly asymmetrical power relations like colonialism exist. In such contexts, there are examples of texts used by subordinate groups to describe themselves to the more dominant groups. In addition, subordinate groups use these examples to interact with representations other people have made of them. This is known as autoethnography. Pratt’s essay presents a discussion on the intreraction of two ...

Dear Mr. President,

RE: THE SPANISH-AMERICAM WAR
As a matter of fact, war should be avoided at all cost by any nation that has sound legal processes within its boundaries, and on international levels. However, this is not always the case since some situations calls for war as the only possible solution. It is on such basis that a country as the USA enters into war to bring in to an end injustice in specific sections of the world. It is on this premises that the American-Spanish war is justified. Cuba was oppressed and exploited by their colonial ...

Steve King believes that English should be the national language of the United States of America. He advances a number of arguments from a variety of perspectives and considerations that make his case for why English should be the dominant language of the United States. A close analysis shows that even though many of his arguments are compelling, he employs a number of fallacies and oversimplifications in order to convince those reading his article why English should be the official and undisputed national language of the United States.
