    It saddens me to hear about the complete lack of value to the war effort put on by this small group of Americans. That key leaders given the authority to effect change sit idle while lives are lost. But then, as I stomach that blow, I focus on their true grit, their courage, their resolve, their valor, the bravery, their fearlessness, their dedication, the sheer tenacity of these Hero’s, and I am reminded of why our country is so great. God bless those that lost their lives in this battle, and the families that they left…

    In my opinion, the conflicts leading up the American Revolution were one many of the significant issues. The conflicts came out to me as significant because it played as one of the most important roles in our history. Though, there are various types of conflict that lead the North American colonies on the fight for their independence, there were only a few that stuck out to me the most. The Boston Tea party, the Intolerable Acts, and the First Continental Congress, the were major factors in the American Revolution. Without those conflicts, America’s fate as a country would be a little different.…

    Learning styles describe the way people process new incoming information. There are several schools of thought pertaining to learning styles. According to learning-styles-online.com, there are seven learning styles: visual, aural, verbal, physical, logical, social and solitary. While most people use a combination of learning styles, they generally have one or two styles that are dominant. By understanding his own unique combination of learning styles, a student will be better able to focus his studying on techniques that increase learning efficiency. Also, when a student has identified his weaknesses, he can create strategies to succeed in situations where the instructor’s teaching style doesn’t match his preferred learning style. My learning style is a combination of logical and visual which makes my Developmental Psychology instructor's completely verbal method of instruction very challenging, but I will overcome these challenges by pre-reading the textbook, watching the instructor’s body language and rewriting class notes into a logical outline format.…
