For efficiency purposes, including the availability of information, the Late Prehistoric Period [AD 1000-1600] will be the focus of this paper. With a particular interest in the Fort Ancient culture, the technological and socio-economic norms that the people observed will come into play in determining the typical winter survival tactics. From possible storage of food crops to the disbandment of villages into “winter camps,” the cold season called for the Fort Ancient peoples’ innovativeness if they were to survive (Late Prehistoric Period, 2013).

According to the dictionary, a revolution is defined as “an overthrow or repudiation and the thorough replacement of an established government or political system by the people governed” and a civil war is defined as “a war between political factions or regions within the same country.” Then, these definitions lead us to a question: Is the Civil war a revolution? As the dictionary defines, through the American Civil War, the former political system was replaced by Union who won the war. First of all, slavery, which was one of the important reason of outbreak of the war, became illegal. In the beginning of the ...

Introduction

The American Civil War was one of the most historically significant events in American history and perhaps, the entire world.

There are a host of factors that can be said to have caused the Civil War among them being the refusal of the union at fort Sumter to surrender after an order to do so had been issued by Brigadier General Beauregard, infringement of civil liberties, the formation of own government by the southerners and the Lincoln inauguration speech. The cessation acts by the southerners led to apprehension within the country and the states1.

The Lincolns speech was taken as not seriously considering the southerners and the later felt that Lincoln could not articulate comprehensively the issues regarding their civil ...

Introduction

The Philippine-American war was the conflict between the Filipino revolutionaries and the United States between 1899 and 1902, which started when the latter acquired the Philippines from Spain as the result of Spanish-American war.

We argue that both sides used their own tactics to win the war in which the Filipino revolutionaries and American soldiers both did well ...

Native Oil

Oil, a source of wealth and power, is often a contested ground of conflict. This conflict is further intensified if erupting between parties of different cultural backgrounds. Then again, conflict over oil assumes further intensity still if accompanied by acts of mass displacement of native populations. The enjoyment of wealth becomes, accordingly, a double crime of capturing natural resources illegally and occupying native land. The case of Fort Berthold Reservation in North Dakota is one most insightful example (McDonald).  
Red Tipped Arrow, or Tex Hall, is a tribal leader who controls, via a board, one-third of oil production in ...

Abstract

Criminal investigations have been completely transformed by the advances of modern forensic science. Evidence that was once undetectable or of little probative value can now have tremendous investigative value because of forensic science techniques. These techniques enable scientists and investigators to extrapolate relevant information from even the tiniest of samples. Before forensic science, there would be no way to test a small, dried blood drop found at a crime scene. The advent of forensic science combined with police and investigative efforts make it much more difficult for criminals to go undetected. But as amazing of feats forensic science has ...

Ron Hubbard (DeChant and Jorgensen 304). The Hubbard Association of Scientologists was established in 1952 (305).

NO WAY!
Two wrongs don’t make it right. The city removes more than 30,000 illegal signs from public streets every year. As part of the removal process, the City issues criminal citations and can pursue civil penalties of up to $500 per sign.

The historical sources of struggle that lead to the shaping of the City of Montreal could be summed up into three major activities. These are colonial, commercial and religious activities. Arguably, the City was started off by the arrival of French settlers who were in their adventurous tours of the world.

However, it needs to be noted that the French settlers in Montreal did not merely repeat the cultural practices they had carried with them. Instead, the development of ...

Cyberbullying is becoming one of the leading causes of depression and suicide among youths now. As peer pressure grows and with more bullies hitting on unassuming targets, the number of victims of cyberbullying constantly increases. It can happen anywhere and everyone can be a victim. One such case is the recent cyber bullying that took place in Fort Collins, Colorado, where several girls from school were believed to be targeted as victims. What officials suppose is that the experience could lead to long-time emotional and psychological scarring; prompting school officials to work double-time and begin psychological debriefing of the girls.

Cyberbullying is the "willful and repeated harm inflicted through the use of computers, cell phones, and other electronic devices" (Hinduja & Patchin 2007). It is not much different from traditional bullying because the factors that drive bullies to do it are the same. Cyberbullying causes the same emotional high for the bullies and the impulse for bullying is brought by the bully's need for power, greed, and the desire to control another individual. It is also their form of hiding their own weaknesses. Therefore, individuals who possess such characteristics could become bullies as well.

Generally, bullies choose those whom they think are weaker than they are and do not have the guts to fight back. The power they derive from bullying gives them a high as it provides them a false sense of worth. According to research, those who were bullied in the past or have untold problems at home become bullies themselves (Ehiorobo). A bully's childhood also leads to a lot of conclusions as to what causes bullies to hurt other people. Typically, they are the ones who have experienced parental neglect, where physical abuse and verbal tussles are the norm. They see shouting and physical aggression as an easy way to get what they want. Other causes of cyberbullying are anger, low self-esteem, envy, jealousy, and bitterness, which prompt them to load off their emotional baggage on others.

These actuations cause long-term negative effects not only on the victims but on the bullies as well. For the victims, they withdraw socially in order to avoid being seen by the bullies. Because of this, they often feel depressed and restless, which makes them anxious about going to school. They also display decreased interest in activities that they used to enjoy and begin doing poorly at school. They experience feelings of insecurity, loneliness, and humiliation, self-pity, and struggle with making emotional attachments with people. As such, they harbor feelings of anger and vengefulness towards the bullies, resulting to the victims either exacting revenge or opting for suicide (Hinduja & Patchin 2007).

For the bullies, these negative behaviors become apparent even in adulthood thus, they remain a bully all their lives. As a result, the bullies do not complete their education, become verbally and sexually abusive towards their partners and children, drug addicts, and alcoholics, among others.

The best way to approach this problem is to keep the parents and children informed about the repercussions of bullying and what they can do to address the problem. The consequences of bullying are far-reaching and can permanently harm the psyche of many adolescents. Thus, the approach of school officials on the Fort Collins cyberbullying is very much appropriate, considering that as soon as word got out regarding the matter, school officials initiated a meeting with the concerned students and began their counseling sessions immediately.

Bleeding Kansas refers to the hostilities that broke out in the Kansas Territory in the 1850’s during the lead-up to its admission as a state. Up to that point, a delicate balance had been struck in the senate between free states and slave states, giving the two sides roughly equal power and preventing any truly drastic measures to be taken by either side. This was highlighted by the Missouri Compromise of 1850, only a few years before, which had two parts: 1) Missouri was admitted as a slave state, while Maine was admitted at the same time to counteract this and retain ...
