Original Question:
Indigenous peoples often adapted to their surrounding environments. They learned much about the local ecology and harnessed the abundance that nature had to offer. Pick one culture-say Anasazi, Mayan, Aztec, etc- and discuss how they sought to live in harmony and harness all that nature had to offer. Do you see any lessons for we the people of the 21st century?

Original Discussion Board Posting By :
The Aztec established in the Valley of Mexico, near Lake Tex-coco. They built their first temples in Tenochtitlan which was in the middle of lake Tex-coco which is now modern day Mexico City. They were a warrior based culture, and continued to conquer and expand. At one point their empire spread throughout most of of Mexico. It is believed that they may have even gone as far north as what is now known as the southwestern United States. I don’t really see any lessons for the 21st century but I know how days are passing people don’t care how they are using up energy and I know we will be running low on energy resources and need to go to alternative energies cause people are very careless these days. people don’t recycle. The things that improved are the 20th century saw great achievements in public health. Vaccines and improvements in sanitation and hygiene led to reductions in mortality and morbidity associated with infectious disease.Challenges that include globalization, scientific and technological advances, and demographic changes. At that time people lived on nature and what they got, it was a really hard time for them but they survived but now in the 21st century people are living on energy or other resorses like cars, oil is being used and one day there will be no oil what will we do. we need to learn to save energy. and not waste oil, water and energy! it was a hard question my I tried my best. Essay In my essay I will discuss about how the aztec lived there lives, their culture,religion,art,school,how men and women

    With the planned symmetry of the number eleven, the Great War, as it was then called, came to an end on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month in 1918. The conclusion of World War One marks, quite logically, one 'bookend' for both Canadian and world history. Two very different decades would follow. "The Roaring Twenties" were marked by unprecedented but unequally distributed prosperity. "The Dirty Thirties" witnessed untold suffering and hardship as the Great Depression left millions unemployed, destitute, and hungry. Then on September 1, 1939, the other 'bookend' would appeared, with the Nazi blitzkrieg of Poland, and the outbreak of World War Two.…

    The Aztec's Daily Life

    To start off, I will be talking about the Aztec’s daily life. The animals the Aztecs hunted were turkeys, dogs, ducks, deer, rabbits, iguana, fish, shrimp, grasshoppers, and worms. The Aztec children played with marbles, stones, and the bow and arrow. A husband could have more than one wife. A steam bath was in every Aztec house. The houses were adobe and made out of mud bricks. The Aztecs spoke the language of Nahuatl. The two main classes were the nobles and the common people. The Aztecs buried or cremated those who died. The slaves were treated well. Maize is another word for corn. Their writing system is different from ours today because they used symbols instead of letters. Common people wore loincloths and tilma, the women would wear skirts and sleeve-less blouse or…

    When people think of the Aztecs the first thing that comes to mind is human sacrificing, but there is so much more to this whole group of people than the sacrifices that played a minor part in their life style. While it’s always important to learn about every aspect of a whole society, history should highlight the more positive aspects included in the Aztec’s society. These positive aspects should overrule the small blip in their history that is human sacrificing that everyone seems so hung up on. The Aztecs as a people were scientifically and technologically advanced with advances made in record keeping, farming, and time. They had well run market places, beautiful cities, and a flourishing empire that was the second largest empire in the…

    The Ancient Aztecs were a special tribe situated in the northern area of Mexico. The ancient Aztecs were one of the strongest tribes back in those days. The main city of the Aztecs called Tenochtitlan was situated on an island that had a lake around it. The interesting part is that the Aztecs saw an eagle perched on a cactus on the soggy land near the southwest of lake Texcoco they knew it would be an amazing place to settle. Sadly, the tribe only lasted for 2 centuries as it had been attacked by another tribe. I would be talking about 3 main ideas in this essay.

    The decision to bring the Ohio National Guard onto the Kent State University campus was directly related to decisions regarding American involvement in the Vietnam War. Richard Nixon was elected president of the United States in 1968 based in part on his promise to bring an end to the war in Vietnam. During the first year of Nixon's presidency, America's involvement in the war appeared to be winding down. In late April of 1970, however, the United States invaded Cambodia and widened the Vietnam War. This decision was announced on national television and radio on April 30, l970 by President Nixon, who stated that the invasion of Cambodia was designed to attack the headquarters of the Viet Cong, which had been using Cambodian territory as a sanctuary.Protests occurred the next day, Friday, May 1, across United States college campuses where anti-war sentiment ran high. At Kent State University, an anti-war rally was held at noon on the Commons, a large, grassy area in the middle of campus which had traditionally been the site for various types of rallies and demonstrations. Fiery speeches against the war and the Nixon administration were given, a copy of the Constitution was buried to symbolize the murder of the Constitution because Congress had never declared war, and another rally was called for noon on Monday, May 4.Friday evening in downtown Kent began peacefully with the usual socializing in the bars, but events quickly escalated into a violent confrontation between protestors and local police. The exact causes of the disturbance are still the subject of debate, but bonfires were built in the streets of downtown Kent, cars were stopped, police cars were hit with bottles, and some store windows were broken. The entire Kent police force was called to duty as well as officers from the county and surrounding communities. Kent Mayor Leroy Satrom declared a state of emergency, called Governor James…

    Question 1 Response: The decade of the 1950s might be considered to be a tale of two Americas or even a paradox for various reasons. Even though this time period can been seen as a decade of prosperity with the freedom of consumer choice, ethnic minorities were excluded. This decade was a time of confidence and a time of fear. The United State believed that they could do whatever; for example end poverty and prevent the revolution on communism in other countries. Even though Americans were confident they knew that there was still a cold war going on. During this time period school had to regularly practice taking cover against atomic attacks. The 1950s was also a time were America was prospering but still felt at an unease. Eisenhower was the president during this period of prosperity. The economy was prospering and liked by Americans because workers had more disposable income than ever before. This seemed to benefit everyone but there were not enough family-wage jobs for all of the African American and Latino workers. Many Mexican Americans were still farm laborers and worked in sweatshops. Minorities always resulted affected by the changes in industrial jobs and the shift of jobs to suburban areas that were isolated from their neighborhoods. The unemployment for the blacks was twice of the whites; this frustrated many African Americans and other minorities. During the fifties Americans were turning to religion but also to materialism. Eisenhower advocated churchgoing to remedy Communism. The percent of people attending church increased. But spending habits were also increased. With new highways, malls, and cars people were beginning to spend more and becoming materialistic. They would buy fast food, T.V.s and many other items that they had never owned before. But with all of this whites withdrew to minimize contact with people of other races. The Brown v. Board of Education opened up a new civil rights movement that impacted the sixties…

    Political scientist Theodore Lowi argued that as government assumed responsibility for more things, Congress would delegate authority for policy implementation to the executive branch, and the inevitable result would be a proliferation of interest groups. Indeed, not only did interest groups emerge to lobby Congress for specific programs, but they lobbied the executive for contracts to deliver services.…

    The Odyssey (opening verses) Homer, 8th century BC, translated by Robert Fagles Sing to me of the man, Muse1, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy.2 Many cities of men he saw and learned their minds, many pains he suffered, heartsick on the open sea, fighting to save his life and bring his comrades home. But he could not save them from disaster, hard as he strove – the recklessness of their own ways destroyed them all, the blind fools, they devoured the cattle of the Sun and the Sun-­‐god wiped from sight the day of their return. Launch out on his story, Muse, daughter of Zeus, Start from where you will – sing for our time too.…
