A history of the problems associated with land ownership and the "land question" in the modern world. A solution to the injustices will be facilitated by the implementation of Land Value Taxation as proposed by Henry George
The document discusses a proposal for President Obama to raise the debt ceiling through an executive order citing the 8th Amendment's prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments." It summarizes the arguments that defaulting on debt would inflict massive economic harm globally and deprive citizens of basic necessities in violation of human dignity. Background provides context on past rulings that penalties destroying one's social status violate the 8th Amendment. The organization Queen of Green aims to empower the poor globally through sustainable programs.
The document summarizes how Canada grew during the 1870s-1880s through political expansion, treaties with First Nations, and the creation of new provinces. It also discusses the Red River Settlement and rebellion led by Louis Riel and the Metis people, who were upset by the arrival of surveyors on their land. Finally, it outlines John A. Macdonald's National Policy to encourage immigration, manufacturing, and build a transcontinental railway to unite the nation, though this faced challenges and disadvantages for Eastern and Western Canada.
This document provides answers to frequently asked questions about a proposed Transfer of Public Lands Act (TPLA). The TPLA would transfer ownership of some federal lands back to the states in which they are located. Specifically, it would affect lands designated for multiple use, excluding national parks, monuments, wilderness areas, tribal lands, and other designated areas. Previous movements like the Sagebrush Rebellion sought greater local control over federal lands, but ended with the federal government granting more input rather than full control. Supporters argue states can manage lands as responsibly as the federal government at lower cost, but balancing economic development and conservation will require determining each land's "best use".
The document summarizes several major pieces of New Deal legislation enacted by FDR during the 1930s to provide relief, reform, and recovery from the Great Depression. It overviews farm bills to stabilize prices and support farmers, the Civilian Conservation Corps to employ young men on conservation projects, federal relief programs to aid the unemployed, banking reforms to stabilize the financial system, and acts to support labor rights, public works projects, rural electrification, social security, and housing. The New Deal represented an unprecedented expansion of the federal government's role in addressing the economic crisis.
The document summarizes the complex history surrounding the 1967 referendum and the establishment of the Aboriginal Tent Embassy in 1972 in Australia. It discusses how the referendum was initially seen as a moment of reconciliation but ignored ongoing issues of land rights and self-determination, leading to increased activism. This came to a head with the Tent Embassy, which demanded land rights and sovereignty and was seen as radical by many but as a moral victory by others, putting Indigenous rights on the political agenda. Overall it shows these events were part of an ongoing process of decolonization and change.
The document summarizes some key foundations of Canadian law regarding how Indigenous peoples hold land in Canada. It discusses the concepts of sovereignty, the doctrine of discovery, and their implications for Aboriginal law. Specifically, it establishes that while Indigenous peoples have rights to occupy traditional lands, ultimate title rests with the Crown. It also notes Canada's shift towards reconciliation with Indigenous peoples, including repudiating concepts like terra nullius and adopting the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
The document discusses the history of trusts being used to transfer property to recipients at a future time. It outlines how in 1780, the original states created a trust agreement over western lands that bound Congress to create new states with sovereignty and independence, using proceeds to pay national debt. However, over time federal control of public lands has restricted access, economic opportunity, and threatened local control. The document advocates for joining the American Lands Council to work towards transferring public lands control to state and local governments.
1) Tensions grew between the industrial North and agricultural South, with the North relying on industry and commerce while the South relied on slave labor for cotton plantations.
2) The Wilmot Proviso, which would have banned slavery in new territories, passed the House but not the Senate, leading to the formation of the Free Soil Party.
3) The Compromise of 1850 was proposed to address the imbalance of free and slave states, allowing California to join as a free state while strengthening fugitive slave laws. It provided a temporary solution but did not end the debate around slavery's expansion.

FDR implemented several programs as part of the New Deal to provide relief, recovery, and reform from the Great Depression:
1) The New Deal established programs like the CCC to provide jobs for unemployed young men, the AAA to support falling agricultural prices, and the TVA to develop infrastructure and attract industry.
2) Other programs included the NRA to regulate industry and set wages and prices, the FERA to provide federal relief funds to states, and the SEC to regulate the stock market.
3) However, some of the New Deal programs were found unconstitutional or did not adequately help African Americans, who faced discrimination in programs like the NRA.
Boundaries can cause problems and conflicts between states. They shape the states and influence communication and isolation within states. There are different types of boundaries including physical boundaries defined by natural features, cultural boundaries defined by human-made features, and internal boundaries that divide political power within unitary and federal states. Gerrymandering of electoral boundaries has been used to benefit political parties in some countries.
The Haiti earthquake occurred in 2010 at a fault line between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates. As the plates shifted eastward past one another, the resulting energy release caused widespread damage across Haiti. The earthquake killed over 100,000 people, destroyed 30% of buildings in the capital Port-au-Prince, and left 3 million people homeless and without access to food or medical care. International aid organizations and celebrities worked to provide relief and raise money for recovery efforts, but the $7.8 billion in damages exacerbated Haiti's existing poverty and economic instability.
The North and South had several important differences that divided the nation in the years leading up to the Civil War. The South relied heavily on slave labor for its large agricultural operations while the North used free labor in factories and businesses. Culturally, the North was more urban while the South was rural. Economically, the North favored tariffs to protect industries while the South opposed tariffs that would raise prices. Regarding constitutional issues, the North wanted a strong central government while the South believed in states' rights to make their own laws.
The document outlines key events in Westward Expansion and the Missouri Problem. It discusses the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 which established a process for territories to become states. It then discusses the Missouri Problem of 1819, when Missouri sought statehood as a slave state, upsetting the balance between free and slave states. Finally, it discusses how the Missouri Compromise of 1820 was passed under Henry Clay to admit Maine as a free state and Missouri as a slave state, and divide the Louisiana Territory along the 36°30' parallel to determine where slavery would be legal.
Jimmy Carter was born in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. He served in the Navy for 11 years before becoming a peanut farmer. He was elected Governor of Georgia in 1971 and President in 1976. As President, Carter faced a struggling economy with high inflation and unemployment. He created new government departments and pursued diplomacy and human rights abroad but lost reelection in 1980 due to economic woes.
The document discusses several compromises around the issue of slavery in the early United States. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 allowed Missouri to enter the union as a slave state while Maine entered as free, dividing states between free and slave above and below the 36°30' parallel. The Compromise of 1850 included admitting California as a free state, organizing New Mexico and Utah under popular sovereignty, and passing a strict Fugitive Slave Law. The Kansas-Nebraska Act repealed the Missouri Compromise, opening Kansas and Nebraska to popular sovereignty on slavery.
The document discusses projections for global urban and rural populations between 2007 and 2050. It is projected that the urban population in less developed areas will increase substantially, growing from 2 billion in 2007 to nearly 5 billion in 2050. Meanwhile, the rural population is expected to decline from 3.3 billion to 2.5 billion over the same period. The document also notes that as of 2005, 970 million people lived in slums, with over 70% of urban dwellers in Africa residing in slums. It is projected that without improvements, nearly 2 billion people will be living in slums by 2030.
President Carter faced many domestic and foreign policy challenges during his presidency from 1977-1981. Domestically, he tried to tackle high inflation and unemployment by developing a national energy policy focused on conservation and alternative energy. However, inflation continued to rise. He had some environmental successes but the Three Mile Island incident increased concerns about nuclear power. In foreign policy, Carter recognized China, pursued arms limitations with the USSR, and brokered the Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel. However, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and Iranian hostage crisis undermined his presidency and contributed to his loss in the 1980 election.
A state is an independent political entity with sovereignty over its internal and foreign affairs. There are currently 191 UN member states. Some areas have unclear or disputed statehood, such as Korea, which is divided between North and South, and Taiwan, which is claimed by China. Western Sahara's status is also disputed, as Morocco controls most of it but the Polisario Front controls parts outside Morocco's defensive wall. State sizes vary greatly, from large countries like Russia and Canada to microstates like Monaco. The concept of the modern state is relatively new, having evolved from earlier systems like city-states, empires, and tribes. Colonialism beginning in the 1400s led European powers to establish colonies in other parts
The New Deal was a series of programs introduced by President Roosevelt in the 1930s to help the US economy recover from the Great Depression. These included creating the CCC to employ millions of unemployed men in conservation projects, passing the AAA to help struggling farmers keep their land, and establishing programs like Social Security, unemployment benefits, and the SEC that still exist today. While controversial at the time, the New Deal created many jobs and helped stabilize the economy recovery over the long run.
Blog - Aid Must Be on the Agenda at Burma -7 March 2013_FINALSushetha Gopallawa
The Kachin Independence Organization and Burmese government will hold their second round of peace talks this month to negotiate a ceasefire for the long-running Kachin conflict. Over 100,000 people have been displaced by the fighting and remain cut off from humanitarian aid. The talks provide an opportunity for the parties to agree to humanitarian access to vulnerable populations and cooperation with aid groups. A sustainable peace will require addressing the Kachin's demands for autonomy and rights that the Burmese government has denied for decades.
The focus of the seminar was to explore the increasing interest in land acquisition in Africa from the different perspectives of the major stakeholders. It took place at Sida on the 10th of November, 2010.
Jimmy Carter was born in 1924 in Plains, Georgia. He served in the Navy for 11 years before becoming a peanut farmer. He later served as Georgia State Senator and Governor, and was elected President in 1976. His presidency was marked by the energy crisis caused by rising oil prices after the Iranian revolution. Domestically, he created the Departments of Energy and Education and pardoned draft dodgers, but struggled with high inflation and unemployment. He lost reelection in 1980 in a landslide.
The document provides an overview of the decolonization of Africa following World War II. It discusses how European powers initially colonized African nations in the late 19th century for economic and political reasons but began losing control after WWII weakened their power. Many African nations gained independence in the 1950s-60s, often through nonviolent protests and armed revolts against colonial rule. However, some countries like Algeria faced more violent conflicts before becoming independent. The document also notes ongoing issues in Africa like poverty, unstable governments, human rights abuses, and dependence on foreign aid.
Jimmy Carter's presidency was marked by several key events and challenges:
1) He brokered the historic Camp David Accords between Egypt and Israel in 1978.
2) However, his presidency was hampered by stagflation, the Iran hostage crisis, and the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.
3) He lost his bid for reelection in 1980 to Ronald Reagan in a landslide as Americans had lost confidence in his leadership.
Slavery was a national institution in the United States that benefited many northern families and immigrants economically up until the Civil War. Over the past few decades, there have been increasing calls from African American organizations for reparations to repair the legacy of slavery and ongoing racial inequalities. Some state and local governments have offered apologies and limited compensation programs. However, the debate around broader federal reparations continues as proponents argue it will only end when racial inequality is fully addressed.
After WWII, most countries joined international and regional organizations to prevent future wars and maintain peace. The UN is the most important international organization, established in 1945 with 49 founding members. It aims to keep peace through peacekeeping forces and bringing countries together to solve conflicts peacefully. Additionally, countries formed regional military alliances like NATO and the Warsaw Pact during the Cold War in response to the rise of the US and Soviet superpowers in order to maintain a balance of power. With the decline of military importance, the EU has become the leading economic alliance and power, promoting cooperation and integration among its member states.
The Great Depression had a devastating impact on the United States economy and citizens from 1929 to 1939. Many people lost their savings and jobs, making it difficult for families to survive. In response, President Roosevelt created the New Deal, a series of government programs designed to provide relief, reform, and recovery from the Depression. Major New Deal programs included the Tennessee Valley Authority, Public Works Administration, and Works Progress Administration, which together worked to rebuild America's infrastructure and provide jobs for the unemployed.
The Pruitt-Igoe housing project in St. Louis, Missouri was designed in the 1950s by architect Minoru Yamasaki to provide modern housing for low-income residents. However, living conditions quickly deteriorated in the following decades due to poverty, crime, and racial segregation. All 33 buildings were demolished by explosives in the 1970s, and the failure of the project became symbolic of the limitations of urban renewal policies and modernist architectural approaches.

The Gilded Age brought both prosperity and problems to the United States. While industrialization and expansion created success, it also produced political corruption, poor social conditions, and unfair economic practices. Reforms addressed these issues through various new laws and organizations. The direct election of senators, civil service reforms, women's suffrage, housing codes, labor unions, and antitrust acts helped to solve political corruption, unsanitary cities, lack of representation, monopolies, and workers' rights issues plaguing the Gilded Age.

A Reflection of the 2010 Haiti earthquake
1. Introduction
a. Introduction Statement
ü The Haiti earthquake of moment magnitude 7.0Mw which occurred in 2010 at 16:53 local time affected an estimate of three million people (Calais et al. 2010). The exact numbers of deaths due to the earthquake are not exact but they are estimated to be from two hundred and twenty thousand to three hundred and sixteen thousand casualties (Margesson & Taft-Morales 2010). With an estimated property that included two hundred and fifty thousand residences and thirty thousand commercial buildings, the damage was so catastrophic.
b. Thesis statement
ü The 2010 Haiti earthquake killed so many people but due to the government’s ignorance, so many more lives were further lost. The government abandoned search and rescue for survivors after the earthquake.
2. Main body
a) First supporting idea
Ø Topic sentence –The government had a huge role in the deaths of its citizens.
Ø Supporting evidence- As a nation, Haiti had so many national debts and also had prejudicial trade policies with other countries and this plunged them deeper into poverty. The country had poor citizens with poor housing conditions that could not withstand the earthquake.
b) Second supporting idea
Ø Topic sentence – Poor communication and transport means in the country is devastating and dangerous.
Ø Supporting evidence- Despite the financial aid the country received, not all casualties were reached. Communication systems, transport facilities, electricity networks, and hospitals had been damaged due to poor construction and rescue and aid support could not reach the affected. There was confusion all over the country with no singular means of communication.
c) Third supporting idea
Ø Topic sentence – Moving on comes at a cost which is not always the best choice.
Ø Supporting evidence- After the earthquake, rescue and aid personnel were much occupied attending to the sick, burying tens of thousands of bodies in mass graves, handing out supplies, and sanitizing. Poor transport means the few supplies on the ground were looted by angry survivors and there was violence. To ensure the country moved on, the Haitian government called off the search for survivors ten days later.
3. Conclusion.
The Haiti earthquake was a major catastrophe that illustrated how the level of ignorance of a given government can cause to its citizens. Ignorant governments are a huge cause of poor citizens in the nation who cannot defend themselves from natural disasters in case it occurs.
