Sacagawea was the daughter of a Shoshone chief. Sacagawea was born in 1788 (unknown date of birth) in Lemhi County, Idaho. At around age 12, she was captured by an enemy tribe and sold to a French-Canadian trapper who made her his wife. She and Touissiant Charbonneau had a baby boy. They named him Jean Baptiste Charbonneau and later on they had a daughter. They named her Lizette Charbonneau In November of 1804, she was invited to join the Lewis and Clark expedition as a Shoshone interpreter. Also she was skilled at finding edible plants. The expedition planned to explore newly acquired western land and to find a route to the Pacific Ocean. She was the only woman on the expedition. When a boat she was riding on capsized, she was able to save some of its cargo, including important…

In the early nineteenth century, African Americans were involved in the "Second Awakening". They met in camp meetings and sang without any hymnbook. Spontaneous songs were composed on the spot. They were called "spiritual songs and the term "sperichil" (spiritual) appeared for the first time in the book "Slave Songs of The United States".The negro spirituals "The Gospel Train" and "Swing low, sweet chariot" which directly refer to the Underground Railroad, an informal organization who helped many slaves to flee.The meaning of these songs was most often covert. Therefore, only Christian slaves understood them, and even when ordinary words were used, they reflected personal relationship between the slave singer and God.…
“The Third Noble Truth is the Truth of the Stopping of Sorrow: It is complete stopping of that craving…being released from it, giving no place to it” (Document1). The spread of Buddhism in China was due to the appeal it had on the people and the influence it made on the culture, like the Third Noble Truth states, stopping sorrow leads to one being content and being released from any heavy sorrow weighing you down, a life which describes and explains the spread of this particular religion in China, the way of life appealed to the people. Although many officials and scholars disagreed to the Buddhist ways, it did not stop others from converting and spreading the religion. In this essay I will discuss the spread of Buddhism in China and the impact…
Brin’s coming to America has led to one of the most important contributions to the internet, but undoubtedly, this isn't the only aspect of American culture, where we can evidence Russian influx. No greater compliment could be paid to a Russian immigrant, or immigrant, for that matter, than to use Jerome Kern’s words stating that Irving Berlin, the Belarussian composer, had no place in American music, but rather was American music (Johnson 56). Irving Berlin was born in Siberia, Russia, the youngest of eight children, during a time of turbulence within the Soviet world. As if the harsh environment of Siberia were not enough of an unfavorable start for the young Irving, his birth to a Jewish family provided even more challenges. For after the…
Heaven’s Gate is the name of the 1980 American epic Western motion picture that was directed and written by the late Michael Cimino. Heaven’s Gate is regarded as one of the biggest box office flops of all time. It was also initially considered as one of the worst films ever made. The film opened up to very poor reviews and made a huge loss with regards to budget. The effect of its failure was the collapse of its parent company, United Artists, as well as the destruction of the reputation of its director, Cimino, who was previously considered a rising Hollywood director thanks to his Oscar-winning 1978 film, The Deer Hunter. There has been significant interest in the film due to the positive reviews that some critics have given it in the decades since its release. In this regard, this essay examines Michael Cimino’s Heaven’s Gate and argues that it was a failure due to time overruns, bad production due to cost, bad press such as animal abuse allegations, poor characterization, and allegations of Cimino’s overbearing directorial methods.…

I believe that the best practices in early childhood education include children’s ideas, parent’s values and teacher’s suggestions. All of these will benefit children’s learning as well as give them a good understanding of the environment around them. Teachers should be flexible with the daily schedule and open to different learning opportunities. This way, children will have less structured time and more opportunities to explore and learn. As I observe in some of the childcare centers, children do not have enough time to play or finish their investigation and projects. They are hurried to be putting their toys away, and this does not benefit their learning. Teachers should encourage children to explore and investigate the topic further. The center’s policies should exclude time outs, as it does not improve children’s behavior, but rather stimulates him to get more attention. Teachers should encourage children to solve problems, and help them out if they see that serious issue occurs. Also, the physical environment has a big impact on best practices too. It should be filled with warm colors and feel like home to children. If the children will feel like at home, they will feel safe, which will benefit their learning.…
Buddhists believe that the meaning and purpose of man is to remove all suffering by eradicating desire. Their concept of suffering is quite a complex structure of beliefs. The Buddhist sees that the end of suffering is achieved by the Four Noble Truths which are the central teachings of Buddhism. It is believed that Buddha taught the Four Noble Truths when he first experienced enlightenment.…

David Eckel, if I had to define Buddhism it would not be by principle that governs a Buddhist way of life but the ultimate goal to which that life is directed, the key would be nirvana. Nirvana is the definitive cessation of the suffering that plagues human existence. The concept of nirvana gains its meaning and much of its importance in classical Buddhist thought from the assumption of reincarnation or transmigration (samsara), an assumption that Indian Buddhist share with their Hindu counterpart (Eckel, D., 1946). Classical Buddhist sources pictured human life as a continuous cycle of death and rebirth. A person, or sentient being could rise on the scale of transmigration as far as the gods in heaven or fall down through the realm of animals to one of the lowest hells. The realm of a person's life in a future life is determined by the actions or karma performed in this life (Eckel, D., 1946). Good actions could bring a good rebirth and bad actions could bring a bad rebirth. In either case, however, the results in are impermanent. According to Eckel even the actions that brought rebirth in the highest heaven eventually would decay and condemn a person to wander again through the realms of rebirth. The only way to escape the cycle all together is to extinguish…
