Slave trade
African slavery had significant economic and cultural impacts on the development of the Americas. Economically, slavery made plantation agriculture like sugar cane and tobacco profitable by providing a large, forced labor supply. This led to wealth in colonies, especially Brazil which became a leading sugar producer. Culturally, the slave trade resulted in the diffusion of African traditions and languages to the Americas, increasing diversity. The triangular trade route connected Europe, West Africa, and the Americas financially and facilitated the inhumane export and forced labor of millions of Africans across the Atlantic.

Mexico's key exports include oil, manufactured goods, fruits, vegetables, and tourism. Venezuela is located on the northern coast of South America with access to Caribbean and Atlantic trade routes. Over 90% of Venezuela's export money comes from oil. Brazil has a tropical climate and rainforest and is a leading exporter of coffee, oranges, soybeans and other farm goods. Cuba relies heavily on sugar cane and tourism but faces economic challenges since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Latin america enviromental concerns
Mexico City has very high levels of air pollution due to its large population and location in a valley surrounded by mountains. The pollution is caused by vehicle emissions and trapped air. Solutions being tried include improved public transportation, restrictions on car use, and education programs.
The Amazon rainforest is being destroyed for agriculture and logging, harming biodiversity and increasing carbon emissions. Deforestation is a major problem for Brazil.
Oil production in Venezuela generates air and water pollution and oil spills that damage the environment and people's livelihoods. Communities and groups are calling for cleaner energy alternatives and pollution prevention and cleanup efforts.

Columbian exchange
The Columbian Exchange led to widespread changes as plants, animals, diseases, and ideas were exchanged between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Native American populations plummeted due to diseases brought from Europe, against which they had no immunity. Europeans introduced livestock, cash crops, and African slaves to the Americas to replace declining Native American labor. Foods native to the Americas like tomatoes, potatoes, and maize became staple crops in Europe and around the world, dramatically impacting global diets, economies, and populations.
Unit 4 economic line of continuum
The document discusses three main types of economic systems: traditional, command, and market economies. Most countries have mixed economies that incorporate elements of both market and command systems. Economic systems can be viewed along a continuum, with pure market economies having the most individual freedom and pure command economies having no individual freedom. The document argues that market systems have proven most effective at promoting economic goals like growth, freedom, and efficiency by allowing citizens to own property and use it efficiently. While command and traditional systems may offer more security, they are less efficient and do not foster growth or freedom as strongly as market systems.
Unit 4 game name that-economic_system
The document describes three different economic systems - traditional, command, and market economies. It provides descriptions or scenarios that are characteristic of each type of economy. The traditional economy relies on customs and habits, promotes stable roles, but discourages new ideas. The command economy allows the government to rapidly change production but fails to meet individual needs and lacks property rights. The market economy encourages competition, new ideas, and satisfies more consumer demand through choice.

Gov't distribute power citizen participation parliamentary and presidential
This document provides information about different forms of government and how they distribute power. It discusses federal, unitary, and confederation systems. A federal system divides power between a central authority and regional authorities. In a unitary system, power is held by one central authority. A confederation involves independent states banding together but retaining considerable independence, with regional authorities holding most power. Examples of each type are provided.
Cold war
The document provides information about the origins and impact of the Cold War. It discusses how after WWII, tensions grew between the Western allies (US, UK, France) and the Soviet Union over the political and economic systems in Eastern Europe. This led to the division of Europe and Germany into capitalist and communist spheres of influence separated by the Iron Curtain. Over time, the US and USSR built up opposing military alliances (NATO and Warsaw Pact) and stockpiles of nuclear weapons in a tense standoff known as the Cold War, which impacted global politics until the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991.
Propaganda posters
Propaganda uses techniques like bias, basic messages, visual images, catchy words, and slogans to influence people and convince them to feel or act a certain way about political issues. The document discusses how propaganda works by picking facts that support certain ideas and ignoring others. It also outlines some key characteristics of propaganda, including the basic message, visual images used to get attention, catchy words or phrases to catch people's attention, and slogans that convey the primary message in a memorable way. Students are then instructed to create their own propaganda poster using these techniques.

It also announced details for the next meeting on November 12th at 8:15 am.
Treaty of versaille and great depression
The document summarizes key details about the Treaty of Versailles and the worldwide economic depression in the 1930s. The Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919 after World War I to establish peace terms between the Allied powers (France, UK, US) and defeated Germany. It required major land and resource concessions from Germany and imposed heavy reparations. However, the harsh terms deepened Germany's postwar troubles and contributed to global economic instability, culminating in a worldwide depression in the 1930s.
Tracing empires maps
Portugal colonized parts of India and Australia in red. Spain also colonized parts of India in red. England (British/UK) colonized Australia in a different color. France colonized parts of the world in a final color.
Unit 2 age of exploration- guided notes
The document provides information about the motivations and goals of European exploration in the 15th-17th centuries. The key motivations were: spreading Christianity (God), trade and wealth (Goods), and glory for explorers. Portugal, Spain, England, and France were the main exploring countries. Portugal explored Africa's coast and established the first global trade routes. Spain claimed much of North and South America and built large empires through conquering civilizations. England established colonies worldwide and eventually built the largest empire in history. France also built global colonies focused on trade, especially in North America and parts of Asia, Africa.
Explorers simulation day 5
The document provides instructions and details for an interactive role-playing simulation about exploration. It includes:
1) A table with scenario details and checks that must be made to progress through the story, adding time to the journey for failed checks.
2) Scenario 1 presents a choice to keep looking for gold and risk an underwater encounter, or try to convince the captain to sail home early.
3) Scenario 2 involves making successful supply and navigation checks over multiple turns to complete the journey home.
4) Students are tasked with writing a personal log and letter to the royal court describing their experiences and thoughts on exploration.
Explorers simulation day 4
The document provides guidance and scenarios for an interactive role-playing simulation. It includes instructions on checks, character rolls, and scenarios involving interactions with native peoples. Scenario options include using weapons, talking, or ignoring the natives, and later options for trading, seeking information on gold, or inviting them aboard ship. Depending on negotiation or other rolls, the scenarios can result in positive or negative outcomes for crew morale, rewards, or native reactions.
Explorers simulation day 2
This document provides instructions and scenarios for an exploration simulation game. It outlines key factors like supplies, navigation, and morale that will be tracked. Students are assigned roles as explorers and will make dice rolls representing checks on supplies, navigation, and morale. They will also complete ship and personal logs after each scenario. The goal is for explorers to work together to keep their ship and crew in good condition over the course of multiple scenarios as they progress through the simulation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
