Albert Einstein was believed to say‚ “If the bee disappears from the surface of the globe‚ man would have no more than four years to live.” Now that Colony Collapse Disorder is occurring‚ it is possible that bees will disappear. Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) is when bees disappear from their hives or suddenly die. No one knows the cause of Colony Collapse Disorder.

However‚ due to differences in laws and authority figures around the world‚ every individual has a unique set of moral values and ideas of what is “right.” As a result‚ one may develop an idea of justice that seems corrupt to someone who is familiar with a different system of laws. Franz Kafka presents this scenario in his short story‚ “In the Penal Colony.” The officer of the penal colony believes that justice is the fulfillment of what is morally right

So Jamestown and Plymouth are two colonies that were established by Europeans around the 1600‚ but when established‚ they both had different reasons for creating their colonies. When reading these two stories‚ you can already tell that these two colonies have a tremendous difference‚ but also you can identify the similarities of these two colonies. Jamestown a colony in Virginia‚ which was a humongous disaster in my opinion. Around 300 settlers migrated to Jamestown and arrived on May 14‚ 1607 and

Although most people only know of the “thirteen original colonies”‚ there were‚ in fact‚ thirty-two English colonies in North America by 1775. However‚ only thirteen of them participated in rebellion. These thirteen settlements shared certain characteristics‚ most prominently of all‚ their rapid population growth.

The southern colonies were probably some of the most deceiving colonies of the original thirteen. They got people to do hard labor for them. The colonists I guess you can say were like “supervisors.” They would sit under some shade sipping on ice cold water while they watched their slaves and servants sweat and maybe even bleed by doing things the owners were capable of doing but were just to lazy to. Deceiving because they say they will give you land and freedom which is true‚ but in the end they

Native Americans and the Africans in the North American colonies during the colonial period differed greatly‚ but were also similar in many ways. The natives were just that‚ natives; they owned land that was taken from them by European settlers who came from a land faraway. The settlers came to the natives’ land‚ and were at a disadvantage because most of their people had died from diseases or hunger whilst crossing the ocean to find a New World. The natives saw how pathetic they were and approached

I would have agreed with Thomas Paine’s arguments. His first argument is how the colonies have no advantage of being connected with Britain. He then begins to say that reconciliation between the colonies and Britain would just make the problems occur once again. I agree with him because the American colonies would most likely end up being taxed by the crown repeatedly. It was not logical for England to be in controlled of Americans when they could easily mange by themselves. The only option was to
