Bellwork #1 8-7-14

Thursday August 7, 2014
When I hear someone speak about their roots what it means to me is for instance we trace our roots back to our ancestors. Roots as in where something started. In “Roots of our Government” I believe we will learn how the government works in the United States. How it started from start to finish.

    A People's History Of The United States Chapter 1 Summary

    There are two types of people in this story. They are the conquerors and the conquered. The communities that Zinn talks about in the story are the Native Americans and the English settlers that came to America. Out of those communities the conquerors were the English settlers and the conquered were the Native Americans. These two communities had similar and different views on topics. One thing that the two viewed differently was how they viewed the land. The Native Americans believed that the land did not belong to one single person, rather they believed that the land belonged to a whole tribe. The English settlers did not feel the same way. The settlers believed that each individual person had the opportunity to own his own land and that he may do whatever he wants to with it. Another difference the two communities had was their views on religion. The Native Americans did not believe in religion. They believed that there was a type of spiritual force that controlled the land. The English settlers did believe in religion. They worshipped gods and executed religious practices. The two groups did have some similarities though. One similarity was language. The two groups both used…

    How Ancient Greek, Roman, Judaic, and Christian Philosophy and Law Shaped the Democratic Development of the United States of America

    The ancient Greeks first had the idea of a democracy, or government by the people. Democracy first took root in a Greek city-state called Athens which was an aristocracy at first (Page 10, P.1). However, Athens moved towards a democracy because of citizens’ discontent with the current government (Page 10, P. 2). One Athenian tyrant named Cleisthenes made his assembly a genuine legislature, which is an idea that the United States government uses today (Page 11, P. 1). Another idea that the United States government got from the ancient Greeks is the idea of a jury, which is a panel of citizens who have the authority to make the final judgment in a trial (Page 13, P. 1). This is how the ancient Greeks contributed to the democratic development of the United States, other aspects of our government were adopted from yet another civilization, the ancient Romans.…

    How Did Western Culture Influence Ancient Greek Culture

    In conclusion, the Greek contribution in the arts, sciences, and government have contributed to modern culture. Because our modern practices have stemmed from and are directly linked to these Greek principles, we can call ourselves Hellenistic people. They have influenced our society and have helped us become culturally advanced like they once were. This shows that the Ancient Greeks have truly revolutionized the modern world and today’s Western…

    Personal Narrative: My Libyan Family

    Taking into consideration my Libyan heritage, one might say I was able to experience the best of both worlds as a first generation Libyan-American. They wouldn’t be wrong, growing up, I was influenced by the cultural aspect of a Libyan as an American citizen. I partook in many common Libyan traditions, for instance, I would eat couscous most nights for dinner and learned how to play the darbuka, a Libyan drum held sideways and played with the fingers. I was convinced that everyone lived this way, and I knew nothing outside of my bubble of comfort. It wasn't until my first trip to Libya, during the reign of Dictator Mummar Gadafi, that I realized not everything in the world was perfect and that my childhood was more Americanized…

    Ap Civil War & Reconstruction

    The creation of our nation occurred only a few hundred years ago. The origins of the American Story will include many groups that inhabited the American continents for hundreds of years, as well as rival European nations fighting for supremacy that ultimately culminated in the rebellion of the thirteen colonies against the British Empire in 1776. While the study of our history includes dates and facts about Presidents and wars; our story is the story of legends, curses and folk tales that have originated here in the Americas during the past three centuries and have stood the test of time. Names like Washington, Franklin, Lincoln, and Roosevelt are synonymous with American History, but it is also the “common man’s” journey that makes our history captivating, tragic and beautiful.…

    Origins Of American Government Essay

    November 11th, 1621 marks the day when English influence took its first steps onto Cape Cod, a miniscule piece of land that after over a century would become part of what is now the United States of America. The pilgrims brought forth with them a system of government of which had experienced centuries of evolution in England, but as time lingered on, they realized that an end to the English crown had to be eminent. After challenging the crown in a deadly war that lasted eight years, the Founding Fathers of the United States devised a system of government that had used elements within the English government and some of their own thinking.…

    Rise of Democracy

    The primary causes of the American Revolution were social in nature because the unjust treatment of the colonists provoked more intellectual thought about individual liberties. Events that induced such thought and were the publication of Common Sense by Thomas Paine, the signing of Declaration of Independence, and the Battle of Saratoga. Thomas Paine’s pamphlet, Common Sense gave hope to the American colonists. The signing of the declaration of independence reinforced the natural rights of the colonists. The American victory of the Battle of Saratoga persuaded the colonists that it was possible for them to over prevail over the British Empire. During 1765, about the time of the intolerable Tea Act, declaring independence had not even crossed the colonists’ minds; their main concern was fair treatment from the British Empire. After several attempts to reconcile with the king, and continual acts of oppression against the 13 colonies, Americans had had enough and separation from Britain was inevitable.…
