    One of Christopher Columbus’s main goals that he wanted to achieve in his lifetime was to discover a trade route to the Indies. Although he knew he could achieve this goal he knew it would follow with obstacles and challenges he would have to face during this voyage. One of the main detriments that he came upon was the inability to restock food and water. Under those circumstances, he asked King Joao for help. King Joao denied his request and used the idea as his own, only to find out that it would fail for him in the end. Finally he convinced King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain to advance him the money for his voyage for food and supplies. As the voyage began other problems began to occur, the compass needle no longer pointed north, they had to persevere through the Sargasso sea that was filled with thick gulf weed, and the trade winds stopped and put the sailors in fear of no return home.

    From the late 1400’s to the sixteenth century, European kings and queens were overwhelmed by, what is now known as, the Age of Discovery. With all the extensive overseas exploration by European nations trying to colonize on foreign land and globalize, many explorers took their chance to propose an idea for voyage. Arguably one of the greatest sails man and captain in history, Christopher Columbus first proposed his idea to sail west into the Atlantic Ocean to Portuguese royalty, where it was rejected. With his vision and persistence, he then approached Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand of Spain to propose his ideas and plans, where it was accepted in 1492, and the world was never to be the same again. It was because of Columbus that the New…

    England was governed by strict laws and regulations created by the King, who didn’t allow the citizens much freedom. The Englishmen weren’t allowed to practice religious freedom without being prosecuted nor were they able to give input into their government. They also grew tired of the warfare in England and wanted to seek a new start and thought that America was the perfect suit for them. The King initially rejected the voyage, but eventually expected the idea of mercantilism and saw the potential economic opportunities that it presented. Mercantilism is the concept of exporting more goods and services than importing to increase the nation’s wealth, and in this particular case it was Britain. This provided groups such as the Puritans, Pilgrims,…

    PTSD or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder is a psychiatric disorder that can occur following the experience or witnessing of life-threatening events such as the military combat, natural disasters, terrorism incidents, or any major tragedy. This is common in the life of veterans and is the leading cause of suicide among veterans. A VA patient who survived in Baghdad shares his experience with PTSD and explains how he knew he had this disability. Many veterans speak out about this issue and describe their continuous anger, alcohol addiction, and constantly wanted to fight. They usually feel very isolated and distant from their loved ones. One patient states, “PTSD involves rocketing into extreme states of stress re-activity; in the form of terror, rage, and uncontrollable impulses, and plunging into equally extreme states of being shut-down—exhaustion, emotional numbing, despair, and dissociation”. PTSD is about having fear and anxiety, allowing veterans to rage with anger and different emotion. There are many factors to PTSD, which affects others in different ways; or example, using video games to keep them occupied, spending money due to the lack of impulse control because of changes in their brain, and even not obtaining another job.…
