Imperialism involves one state exerting political control and economic exploitation over weaker states. Colonialism is when a state politically controls another, while annexation incorporates a state into another state's territory. Social Darwinism was used to justify imperialism, arguing stronger societies had a right to rule weaker ones. The "White Man's Burden" asserted white men had a duty to civilize primitive countries. Racism and paternalism characterized the missionary impulse to convert indigenous peoples. The Scramble for Africa in the 1800s saw European powers invade and occupy the continent, except for Liberia and Ethiopia. Nationalism promoted pride in one's country through military and economic strength. Colonized peoples often rebelled against foreign domination.

Liberty in the United States (History)
The document discusses the concept of liberty as it relates to the American Revolution and founding of the United States. It defines liberty as freedom from monarchy and mentions how the Magna Carta, negative freedom, and eventual Bill of Rights influenced this view. It also discusses how both positive and negative views of liberty, including those of Aristotle and Locke, were debated during the revolutionary and founding eras. The relationship between positive freedom and suffrage is explored, as well as debates around how to preserve good governance through institutions like the Electoral College.
Civilization status
The document describes social status and hierarchies in ancient civilizations including Mesopotamia, Egypt, Rome, Greece, and Canada. In Mesopotamia, status levels included priests and nobility at the top, merchants and laborers in the middle, and slaves at the bottom. Egypt similarly had farmers and slaves at the lowest levels, and pharaohs, nobles, and priests at the highest. Rome designated citizens and non-citizens, with slaves having no rights, while Greece divided free men based on wealth into four classes. Canada's hierarchies incorporated refugees, indigenous groups, and British colonial influences on status.

Imperialism is defined as a policy of extending a country's power and influence through military force or diplomacy. Colonialism involves acquiring political control over another country through occupation and exploitation. Social Darwinism and the idea of the "White Man's Burden" were used to justify imperialism and racism. The Scramble for Africa from 1880 to 1914 was a period where European powers rushed to colonize the African continent. Nationalism led colonizing countries to feel superior over colonized nations.
The Governments of Ancient Greece
The document summarizes different forms of government in ancient Greece including oligarchy, tyranny, and democracy. It notes that in an oligarchy, aristocrats compete for power but keep each other in check. Oligarchies provided some benefits to wealthy women but not the poor. Tyrannies emerged from oligarchies when one aristocrat gained popularity by promising reforms to help the poor. While tyrants were disliked by other aristocrats, they often improved conditions for common citizens. The document also discusses the transition from tyranny to oligarchy to democracy in various Greek city-states between 1000 BC to 100 BC.
Ancient Greece Governments

Nation-states emerged fully during the French Revolution, with loyalty owed to the nation rather than a monarch. Characteristics like a state's size, shape, location can influence its challenges and opportunities for governance.

The McCarthy Era saw fear of communism spreading within the United States. Senator Joseph McCarthy claimed communism was infiltrating the country. This led to laws like the Alien Registration Acts requiring registration of immigrants and the HUAC investigating possible communist activities. These committees and laws allowed the government to monitor influences from abroad and suppress internal communist groups, which many Americans supported as a means to prevent communism from taking hold within the country.
Athens Democracy
The document summarizes democracy in ancient Athens in the 5th century BC. It describes how Athens was governed by three main bodies: the Ekklesia, which all citizens could vote in; the Boule, made up of 500 randomly selected citizens who drafted laws; and popular courts with 6000 randomly selected jurors. It notes that while Athens had democracy, citizenship excluded women, slaves, and foreign residents. It also describes the prominent leader Pericles, who led Athens' democratic faction for over 30 years.
Nationstates
Nation states arise from a combination of cultural and political factors. A nation is defined by shared characteristics like language, religion, or ethnicity, while a state is a political territory with institutions that govern and enforce rules over its population. A nation state unites a cultural nation within the boundaries of a single state. In the 19th century, nationalism and the idea that each nation deserves its own state led many European countries to align their borders along cultural lines. However, not all modern states are uni-national, as some contain multiple nations or cultural groups.
Imperialism
Imperialism involved countries extending their power and influence through military or diplomatic means. Colonialism was the practice of acquiring political control over another country, settling it, and exploiting its resources. During the Scramble for Africa from 1880-1900, European powers invaded, occupied, and annexed African territories, dividing the continent among themselves. They justified this through social Darwinism and beliefs of racial and cultural superiority, seeking to civilize the people and impose their rule, which often led to resistance from colonized nations seeking independence and self-determination.

The document defines imperialism as extending the power and dominion of a nation through direct territorial acquisitions or indirect political and economic control over other areas. It also defines annexation as attaching or appending one thing, especially one that is larger or more significant, to another. Social Darwinism justified imperialism by saying that stronger countries could take what they wanted based on survival of the fittest, while the "White Man's Burden" portrayed Europeans as having a duty to civilize other "inferior" races. The Scramble for Africa in the late 1800s led European powers to colonize most of the continent at the Berlin Conference for resources and power, with the exceptions of Ethiopia and Liberia remaining independent.
Dean R Berry How People are Governed part 1
1. For thousands of years, most people lived under monarchies or dictatorships where a single ruler such as a king or military leader held absolute power over the government.
2. In the last few hundred years, some countries have transitioned to democratic forms of government where citizens can vote for their representatives and have more individual rights and freedoms.
3. It took a long evolution over many centuries for ideas like representative government and democracy to develop, with influences from the Greeks, English system of parliament, French philosophers, and America's founding documents.

The document provides a historical overview of different forms of government from ancient times to the present. It discusses that for most of history, small groups or individuals like powerful families, kings, pharaohs, and dictators held complete control over populations. It was not until around 300 years ago that representative democracies began to emerge, first in England and later in the United States, as power became distributed among elected representatives rather than one absolute ruler. The roots of democracy have been a long struggle, but today many nations enjoy democratic freedoms.

The American Revolution or the American War of Independence was on.docx
The American Revolution or the American War of Independence was one of the most remarkable wars in the history of the world. The motives behind the war can be interestingly explained by Zinn from the chapter Tyranny Is Tyranny in A People’s History of The United States: 1“Around 1776, certain important people in the English colonies made a discovery that would prove enormously useful for the next two hundred years. 2They found that by creating a nation, a symbol, a legal unity called the United States, they could take over land, profits, and political power from favorites of the British Empire” (Zinn). Indeed, the American Revolution left a significant impact on early American society and government in terms of social, political, and intellectual adjustments. Typically, one of them is the gap between social classes. 3From the chapter A Kind of Revolution, it is surprising to know that “About 10 percent of the white population - large landholders and merchants - held 1,000 pounds or more in personal property and 1,000 pounds in land, at the least, and these men owned nearly half the wealth of the country and held as slaves one-seventh of the country's people” (Zinn). What’s more: “The people resented the tax system, which was especially burdensome on the poor” (Zinn). Besides, the ability to have a political say can only be in the hands of the rich and powerful. Consequently, mutinies and slave revolts broke out because one finds inequality everywhere. To my surprise, it was this political tyranny, economic burdens and unfairness in social hierarchy that motivated people in the 13 colonies to stand up and revolt against the corrupted government at that time.
We are taught by the modern-day history books to revere our Founders as superhuman leaders of a superior generation. Yet in fact, on the opposite, they were not perfect. They were also problematic and thus do not deserve their current level of popularity. 4“Shouldn't we applaud the Founders’ restored popularity? Yes - but like anything else, it can be taken too far” (H. W. Brands). Pondering over this question, we take the shortcomings of the Founders into consideration. In scrutinizing the Declaration and the Constitution, “two grave sins of omission hung ominously over the country: the Founders' failure to deal with slavery, and their failure to specify whether sovereignty lay with the states or with the nation” (H. W. Brands). The intentional ignorance of slavery in the documents which represent American history makes us look over the Founders' perspectives. “For one thing, challenging slavery's validity within those documents was completely irrational, seeing as slavery was a critical part of culture both in America, and in Europe. The majority of the Founders simply didn't see anything wrong with it; or if they did, they did not express it. Another
reason that they didn't mention slavery is because it would do more harm than good. If they openly condemned slavery, they would quickly ...
Imperialism
Imperialism involved the domination of one nation over another through unequal economic and political relationships, usually in the form of colonies or empires. Key aspects included colonialism, where one territory established control over another, and annexation, where a smaller territory was incorporated into a larger one. Imperialist thinking in the late 19th century was influenced by Social Darwinism and ideas of racial superiority that justified the expansion and domination of stronger Western nations over weaker non-Western nations.

The holocaust
The document summarizes key events and policies of the Holocaust:
1) Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass) in 1938 saw a massive attack on Jews and Jewish businesses by Nazi groups that began after a Jew shot a German embassy staff member. Over 30,000 Jews were arrested and sent to concentration camps.
2) The Nuremberg Laws of 1935 stripped German Jews of citizenship and forbade relationships with non-Jews. Jews were also required to have medical exams.
3) Ghettos created outside cities forced overpopulated and terrible living conditions on Jews, deliberately starving them and denying heat in winter. Some Jews resorted to suicide to escape.
4) The
Organization of the Atom
The atom consists of a nucleus containing protons and neutrons at its center, surrounded by an electron cloud holding electrons. The nucleus makes up most of the atom's mass, with protons providing a positive charge and neutrons having no charge. Electrons reside in the electron cloud and have a negative charge that determines the atom's atomic number.
Chemistry Semester 1 Final
There are three states of matter: solids, liquids, and gases. Changes between these states require energy and can be either physical or chemical changes. Physical changes are reversible and do not alter the chemical makeup, while chemical changes produce different substances and are not reversible. The document also discusses scientific notation, significant digits, the periodic table, and calculating density.
Balancing Chemical Equations
The document discusses balancing a chemical equation. It shows the step-by-step process of balancing the equation for the reaction of aluminum nitrate and sodium hydroxide to produce aluminum hydroxide and sodium nitrate. First, it identifies the reactants and products on each side of the equation. It then systematically adds coefficients to each element and compound to balance the atoms and charges on both sides of the equation, arriving at the balanced equation of Al(NO3)3 + 3NaOH → Al(OH)3 + 3NaNO3.

Assignment 7.5: Totalitarian Review
A totalitarian government exercises total control over all aspects of people's lives. It is led by a dictator and the military is always present. Fascism is a one-party system where the party rules without opposition and the government and owners collectively control the economy. Stalin consolidated individual land through collectivization and enforced 5-year plans to industrialize cities. He led the Great Purge campaigns of persecution and had his rival Trotsky murdered.

The document discusses different totalitarian leaders and their policies. It describes how Vladimir Lenin established the first communist government in Russia and allowed more economic freedom for farmers. It outlines how Stalin conducted the Great Purge and Five Year Plan, and how Mao Zedong led revolutions in China like the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution. The document also mentions Hitler writing Mein Kampf and establishing the SS to run concentration camps in Germany.
The United States in WW1
The United States initially practiced isolationism at the beginning of WWI, though they did sell weapons and provide some aid to other countries. Germany sinking the Lusitania in 1915 was the main reason the US entered the war in April 1917. With new US troops, the tide turned in favor of the Allies. The US fought in major battles on the Western Front and had around 323,018 casualties over the two years they were involved in the war. President Wilson outlined his Fourteen Points speech in 1918 to promote the US was fighting for a moral cause and peace. After the war, the US emerged as a very powerful, strong, and rich country.
Voacbulatry unit 5, world war l
World War I lasted from 1914 to 1919 and was started by the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria-Hungary by Serbia. The main sides were the Allied powers of Russia, Britain, France, and later Italy versus the Central Powers of Germany and Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire. Germany attempted the Schlieffen Plan to quickly defeat France but it failed. The war became one of attrition and trench warfare with neither side able to gain ground. Key battles included the First and Second Battle of the Marne, Gallipoli, the Somme, and Verdun, which caused massive casualties. Russia withdrew from the war due to the Bolshevik Revolution. The US entered in 1917 on the side of the

Halloween y día de los muertos
Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos) originated from indigenous Mexican rituals celebrating the dead and has been celebrated for over 3,000 years. When the Spanish arrived, they tried to suppress the ritual but it survived and merged with Catholic traditions. Today, it is celebrated November 1-2 by building altars honoring the deceased with their favorite foods, decorating graves, and remembering the dead. In contrast, Halloween has origins in pagan harvest festivals and focuses more on costumes, haunted attractions, trick-or-treating and carving jack-o-lanterns. Both holidays incorporate traditions honoring the deceased.

Francium is the rarest naturally occurring element, with only about 20-30 grams existing on Earth at any given time. It is the second rarest naturally occurring element and the most unstable, with no stable isotopes. Francium is a highly radioactive alkali metal that decays within minutes. Due to its radioactivity and rarity, little is known about its properties and it has no practical uses.

Understanding User Needs and Satisfying Them
https://www.productmanagementtoday.com/frs/26903918/understanding-user-needs-and-satisfying-them
We know we want to create products which our customers find to be valuable. Whether we label it as customer-centric or product-led depends on how long we've been doing product management. There are three challenges we face when doing this. The obvious challenge is figuring out what our users need; the non-obvious challenges are in creating a shared understanding of those needs and in sensing if what we're doing is meeting those needs.
In this webinar, we won't focus on the research methods for discovering user-needs. We will focus on synthesis of the needs we discover, communication and alignment tools, and how we operationalize addressing those needs.
Industry expert Scott Sehlhorst will:
• Introduce a taxonomy for user goals with real world examples
• Present the Onion Diagram, a tool for contextualizing task-level goals
• Illustrate how customer journey maps capture activity-level and task-level goals
• Demonstrate the best approach to selection and prioritization of user-goals to address
• Highlight the crucial benchmarks, observable changes, in ensuring fulfillment of customer needs

Imperialism
- 1. Imperialism By Ciera Johnson
- 2. Imperialism Defined Imperialism is when one state is superior, and takes control over other lands that are not as strong. Colonialism is when a state politically controls another state and make the most of their economy. Annexation is when a state or land is taken and made part of another state.
- 3. Social Darwinism Definition: The theory that people or society that are stronger will live on an weaker countries will be taken over. If someone were to take over another country by mutual diplomacy then they would have a right in Imperialism. I believe people could use darwinism as a way to have leadership of the country and have the leaders in agreement.
- 4. "White Man's Burden" Definition: It means that white men have the responsibility to “take care of” other countries that were primitive. This saying originally came from a Poem called “The White Man's Burden”.
- 5. Racism and the Missionary Impulse Racism is the hatred or discrimination against another person because of their race or belief. Paternalism is the practice of people with higher authority restricting the freedom of people subordinate to them based on their supposed best interest. This could be considered racist if it were a white man to a black person or slave. Missionaries actions could be categorized as paternalistic because it was a way of saying that it was in a persons best interest to believe and join God.
- 6. The Scramble for Africa It occurred in the 1800s to 1914 when European colonial rivalries invaded and occupied Africa. Liberia and Ethiopia were the only two countries that were not colonized during this time. The Berlin Conference defused the disputes and set guidelines to colonization and trade in Africa for the Europeans.
- 7. Nationalism Nationalism is the pride in one’s country from their countries strength, size, industrial production and the person’s willingness to die for it.
- 8. Colonized vs. the Colonizers An industrialized nation would have more advanced machinery, weapons, and government that would make it easier to take over a less “civilized” country. I would assume the people would be infuriated and try to rebel against the enemy.
