The Great Depression arrived later in California than other parts of the country due to the diversity of California's economy in agriculture, industry, entertainment, tourism and services. This made California less impacted than more industrialized Northeastern states initially. However, the depression did eventually affect California in the 1930s. After the depression, California remained connected to the military, which helped its economy by keeping ship repair facilities in San Francisco Bay and building ships, demonstrating the importance of California's role in supporting the country's armed forces.
The document discusses the fight for slavery in California during the 1850s. It describes how the territory was organized as free after the Mexican-American War and Gold Rush. However, pro-slavery advocates known as the Chivalry tried multiple schemes to legalize slavery, such as allowing slaveowners to temporarily bring slaves and splitting the state into two territories. Their efforts failed and California remained a single free state. Some historians argue this fight over slavery in California was a catalyst that triggered the eventual Civil War.
Europeans migrated to South America for a short time before moving to the United States or Canada for better economic opportunities, as jobs in the US provided more stability and higher pay than in Europe. The vast, cheap, new land available in the US also made it a desirable real estate destination undergoing rapid expansion and development in the late 19th century, with cities like Chicago growing quickly and inventing new technologies like skyscrapers and steel frame construction to enable further growth during the industrial revolution. European artistic styles were also imported to beautify and decorate the expanding cities.
This document provides a framework for analyzing and comparing Japan and Vietnam across several factors. For Japan, it discusses environmental issues, climate change, hostility with China, and trade partners (US, EU, China). Japan receives ratings of 4 for climate change, 3 for environmental damage and hostility. For trade, it receives a 2. For Vietnam, it discusses hostility mainly with China and the US, environmental issues/climate change which greatly impact society and agriculture. Vietnam receives higher ratings than Japan for climate change (8), environmental damage (6), and society's response (6). It also discusses Vietnam's more limited trade, mainly with China, Hong Kong and Singapore in the 1980s. In contrast, it notes Japan and Vietnam now have
Over 230,000 people are feared dead in Haiti and around 1.5 million are now homeless after the earthquake. Thousands have been pulled from the debris alive in the aftermath. Several relief organizations like IRHS, Free The Children, and Partners In Health are raising funds to aid those affected.
Day 3 focuses on planning a lesson. Teachers will be given a lesson to transform and decide who will lead different roles like Head of Department and Moodle expert. Each teacher will plan their assigned section of the lesson using Web 2.0 tools and Moodle, focusing on objectives, connecting learning, activating learning, directing learning, reviewing learning, and assigning homework. Teachers will then meet to integrate their individual sections before the Head of Department uploads the completed lesson plan.

1. The document discusses Victor Turner's theories on ritual and liminality, separating ritual into three phases: pre-liminal (separation), liminal (transition), and post-liminal (reincorporation).
2. The liminal phase involves constructing communitas, where group members share experiences and goals, helping to clarify identity.
3. Rituals can transform participants and allow them to change themselves and society through symbolic action in the liminal state, which provides a safe space to try new possibilities.
- Rituals deal with seasonal, contingent, life-crisis events and afflictions according to Turner's classification. Ritual subjects experience three phases: separation, limen/margin, and aggregation.
- In the liminal period, ritual subjects are ambiguous and treated as neither male nor female. There is equality and submission between neophytes and instructors.
- Traditional societies integrate ritual and liminality into all aspects of life, while post-industrial societies separate work and leisure, individualizing rituals and creating liminoid phenomena that are not obligatory.
