This is a Tiger Beer advertisement from 1933.
This teches us that there were beer advertisemtns back then. This picture came from a Malasian archive which makes it trustworthy to me.
This is a picture of a Cuban anti-imperialism rally.This shows us that not everyone was for Imperialism and how people fought it. This is a trustworthy source because it came from a fine art website which I checked out and is trustworthy.
This is artwork/advertisement against Imperialism. This shows us the tension between countries in a way. It shows how Iraq was against Imperialism. This source is trustworthy because it as well came from an artwork site. It seemed trustworthy.
This is a letter sent from a soldier in ww1 to his mother and father.
This is a knowledgeable source because it gives us a view of what letters in that time looked like. This source came from a website that was dedicated to artifacts and letters and such from WW1, which made it a trustworthy source in my book.:)
History of the Twentieth Century
The twentieth century was filled with a good bit of events. For example, the New Imperialism. The New imperialism is when countries such as Japan and even the United States, were basically in competition for territories all over. This sparked WWI. It's a shame something as goofy as that cause many, many, men to die in war. Something we learned that happened to the men in WWI, when they were shot in the face at war, they of course had pretty messed up faces after that. So they had these sculptor artist people that used clay to reconstruct their faces and they put the mask on the soldier's face to hide the scars and such. Also there were many new inventions being created, such as the airplane, which was invented by the Wright brothers. This was used in WWI. Also: the automobile created by Henry Ford, the gas mask created by Garret Morgan, the radio, created by Nikola Tesla, nuclear bombs, created by Ernest Rutheford. There are many more inventions as well, but too many to list. As you can tell most of these weapons were used in the WWI, like the airplanes to drop the bombs, the nuclear bombs, gas masks to help the soldiers breathe. There were also diseases that were very popular in the twentieth century as well. Such as Influenza, mumps, measles, hepititus A, and hepatitis B. There were many others, the number of deaths from these diseases just added on to the ones from the war.
Human Diversity
This semester we did a race quiz where we had to match people to a race that we thought they were in. I learned that looks are so deceiving. I only got about three matches right. The rest were wrong! I learned that just because a man is completely white, doesn't necessarily mean that he is not Hispanic or Asian. The only way you could know is if you ask. Because when I was taking that quiz I though it was obvious which person belonged to which race.
Places I've Been
I have learned about many places on earth this semester. Like, Mount Everest. It is the highest mountain on earth above sea level. This Mountain is part of the Himalaya range in Asia; It's located on the border between Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal, and Tibet, China. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the top of the summit on May 29, 1953. Many people have died trying to climb this mountain which somehow makes it more of a thrill to climb. Some people thrive on that kind of adrenaline. Many people since Edmund and Tenzing have reached the summit.
Cultures of the World's Socities
This semester we learned about the cultures of the countries of our choice. For me it was Japan and Morocco. In the Japanese culture, they are much more particular about the way they do things. For example, people here in America would be close when talking. So that way, you know, so they can hear each other better. Well in the Japanese culture it's considered rude. They feel that your how we would say it "all up in their grill." They also eat many different types of foods then we do. Morocco has a more laid back culture. They aren't as strict. They are quite friendly and loving people. They have a lot of hospitality. The only thing that is different between our culture and theirs is that they have different foods. And in their culture, when visiting a home, you must bring a gift. Like when visiting a poor house, bring a live chicken. When visiting a house in the city, bring pastries or bread. But other than that, not much of a difference
