The document summarizes the war in Afghanistan and its impact on refugees. It describes how the US-led war began after 9/11 to remove Taliban influence and install a Western-style democracy. Over time, other nations joined through NATO to fight terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Taliban. Heavy fighting damaged villages and caused a refugee crisis, with millions fleeing to neighboring countries like Pakistan. Refugees faced hardship, disease and discrimination in camps. While some returned, Afghanistan still struggles with a poor economy, corruption and violence, contributing to many citizens living in extreme poverty and continued refugee flows.
Hoovervilles were makeshift shantytowns that formed across the United States during the Great Depression as people who lost their homes and jobs struggled to find shelter. They often consisted of ramshackle wood or canvas structures that provided little protection from the cold. Residents frequently lacked adequate food, water, and medical care, so illness and death were common. Some Hoovervilles were organized with their own leaders, while others were torn down by authorities.
John Lewis gave a speech at the 1963 March on Washington where he noted that many could not attend due to lack of jobs and poverty, highlighting ongoing economic issues. The March on Washington saw 250,000 people, most African American, gather in the nation's capital to protest for civil rights and jobs. It began at the Washington Monument and ended at the Lincoln Memorial, and was a pivotal moment in the successful Civil Rights movement in American history.
This document summarizes Edward Said's book Orientalism and discusses America's perception and relationship with Pakistan. It covers several key points:
- Said challenged the concept of Orientalism and the divide between the East and West.
- America historically viewed Middle Eastern peoples as backward and threatening.
- America sees the Muslim world and Pakistan specifically in a problematic and negative light, often associating them with terrorism.
- US-Pakistan relations and drone strikes have caused civilian deaths and opposition in Pakistan.
- Pakistan currently faces serious economic problems and doubts about encouraging terrorism.
Controlling migration has been a leading issue for many governments throughout history. During the Cold War, divisions like the Korean DMZ and the Berlin Wall were erected to restrict migration. Developed countries have enacted various restrictive immigration laws over time to control migration from poorer developing countries. Currently, the most high-profile migration issue in the US involves Mexican migration, with some proposing to amend birthright citizenship and states passing their own immigration laws due to perceived federal inaction. Proposed solutions to illegal immigration have included stricter border control, refugee camps, improving conditions in migrants' home countries, and guest worker programs.
This document provides an overview of the geography, population demographics, languages, and key physical features of Africa. It notes that Africa is the second largest continent, is home to over 1 billion people from over 3,000 distinct tribes speaking over 1,000 languages, and contains several major rivers and rainforest regions. Tribal identity and diversity present ongoing challenges to political and social cohesion in many African nations.
The document discusses several major modern migrations over the past 500 years. It describes:
1) European migration to the Americas occurred in three stages from the 17th to 20th centuries, driven by religious, economic, and environmental factors.
2) Forced migration of slaves from Africa to the Americas was second only to European emigration, profoundly impacting both African and American societies.
3) Large internal migrations within countries, like the construction of Brasilia as Brazil's new capital, have also caused significant population shifts and influenced development.
The document summarizes key events related to 9/11 terrorist attacks, the US response, and its aftermath:
- 9/11 attacks in 2001 killed almost 3,000 people and were the worst terrorist attacks on US soil, carried out by al-Qaeda led by Osama bin Laden.
- The US launched the War on Terror and Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan to target al-Qaeda's base. The war later expanded to Iraq with the defeat of Saddam Hussein.
- New security measures were implemented at airports and other public areas, and the Department of Homeland Security was created.

People move for a wide variety of individual reasons. But there have been two moments in U.S. history in which millions of people came to this country at the same time.
What kinds of large-scale disruptions cause millions of people to move at the same time?
These are both times of global economic upheaval. The industrial revolution caused a massive economic shift across the world, from agricultural economies to urban/industrial economies, realignments of global power, and millions of economic and political refugees.
McDuffie, Garveyism in Cleveland, African Identities, May 2011Erik McDuffie
This article examines the history of the Garvey movement in Cleveland, Ohio from the 1920s through the 1970s. It explores how thousands of working-class black Clevelanders joined the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), captivated by Marcus Garvey's message of race pride, black self-determination, and redeeming Africa from colonial rule. The UNIA was most prominent in Cleveland in the early 1920s, with Division 59 claiming thousands of members. Women played a visible leadership role in the Cleveland UNIA. Although the local movement declined by the 1920s, Garveyism remained an influence in Cleveland through new protest groups and a resurgence among black nationalists in the late 1960s.

This document discusses Ida B. Wells Barnett and the 1892 Memphis lynchings that she investigated and worked to publicize. It describes how three African American men who owned a successful grocery store were lynched after fighting back against a mob that attacked their store. Wells Barnett realized the lynchings were meant to intimidate African Americans, not punish crimes. She urged blacks to leave the South for their safety and worked with the NAACP to expose the practice of lynching across the country for decades to come. The document provides historical context about Wells Barnett and lynchings in Memphis up through the civil rights era.
In the 1930s, due to the economic devastation of the Great Depression, shantytowns known as Hoovervilles emerged across the United States as unemployed people lost their homes and had no place else to live. These makeshift communities, made up of scrap materials like cardboard and tin, provided shelter for homeless families and individuals who blamed President Hoover for the economic downturn. The largest Hooverville was located in New York City's Central Park and housed thousands. Efforts to eliminate Hoovervilles in the 1930s proved difficult as the communities persisted due to lack of alternatives for residents. It was not until 1941, after employment levels began rising again during World War II, that shantytowns were finally torn down
The document discusses several topics related to Africa, including economic dependence, urbanization, and South Africa. It notes that colonialism left many African nations economically dependent on Western countries. It recommends that Africa focus on developing agriculture with non-cash crops, limit imports, and export more than is imported. The document also addresses population growth in Africa and the need for family planning to slow birth rates. It provides statistics on urbanization and the percentage of Africans living in cities.
The document summarizes how life on the homefront in the United States was impacted during World War 2. Key points include rationing of certain goods like food and gasoline to support the war effort. Women entered the workforce in large numbers to replace men who joined the military. This helped reduce unemployment and boost the economy. The government also instituted the draft and called on minorities to contribute to the labor force. However, over 110,000 Japanese Americans on the West Coast were forcibly relocated to internment camps due to misplaced fears of disloyalty, despite only a small number being interned in Hawaii.
The document provides background information on several historical events and natural disasters that have impacted Caribbean countries, including:
1) The Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 which brought the US and Soviet Union to the brink of nuclear war over Soviet missiles placed in Cuba.
2) Hurricanes Gilbert in 1988 and Ivan in 2004 that caused massive damage and loss of life in Jamaica through strong winds and flooding.
3) Urban renewal efforts in the Bahamas since 2002 to tackle crime, poverty, and other social issues in inner cities.
4) The 1937 Parsley Massacre in the Dominican Republic where the dictator Trujillo ordered the killing of thousands of Haitian immigrants.
5) Political instability
Jay Electronica is a rapper from New Orleans who rarely releases full albums. His song "When the levees broke" critiques both Hurricane Katrina's natural disaster and the man-made disaster that followed from the government's poor response. The lyrics discuss life in post-Katrina New Orleans, including corruption in the FEMA and government response, mass incarceration, and redevelopment driven by economic interests rather than helping residents. The song also references themes of legal brutality, class and ethnic politics, and deficiencies in the government exposed by its failure to adequately address the hurricane and its aftermath.
Malala yousufzai and kailash satyrathi against human trafficking by anurag dashanuragcooolz
This document summarizes information about Malala Yousafzai and Kailash Satyarthi and their work against human trafficking. It discusses that Kailash Satyarthi is an Indian children's rights activist who founded the Bachpan Bachao Andolan to rescue over 80,000 child slaves and advocate for an end to child labor. It also explains that Malala Yousafzai is a Pakistani activist who advocated for girls' education and survived an assassination attempt by the Taliban at age 15, becoming a prominent figure promoting education internationally.
Veteran's Day is a holiday celebrated on November 11th to honor those who have served and died in the armed forces. It was originally called Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, but was later renamed Veteran's Day by President Eisenhower in honor of veterans of all wars. Today, Veteran's Day is observed through wearing red poppies and displaying the American flag to recognize members of the military, both past and present.
Free Northern blacks and enslaved Southern blacks resisted slavery through both organized and personal acts of protest. Northern blacks formed abolitionist groups starting in 1817 to support freedom, while abolitionist newspapers funded their activities through black subscribers. Enslaved blacks also conducted personal protests by breaking tools, slowing work, and in some cases violence, while the ex-slave Harriet Tubman led over 200 people to freedom through the Underground Railroad at great personal risk.
This document discusses migration and its determinants. It provides definitions of migration, emigration, and immigration. Some key points:
- 191 million people lived outside their country of birth in 2005, and the number of international migrants has doubled since World War II.
- The top countries for immigration are the US, Russia, Germany, and Saudi Arabia. The top countries of origin are Mexico, Spain, China, and Ukraine.
- There are two main types of migration - internal (within a country) and international. Internal migration includes rural-urban and seasonal movements.
- Migration can be voluntary or involuntary (forced). Involuntary migrants include refugees fleeing persecution or conflict.

This report summarizes Clint Duke's work experience and internship at Cameco Corporation, where he worked in the accounts payable department. The report discusses current paper-based invoicing issues like inefficient processes, errors, and backlogs. It then introduces electronic invoicing as a solution, outlining benefits like reduced manual work and costs. The report analyzes options like semi-automated, fully-automated, and outsourced systems. It recommends adopting a tailored electronic invoicing solution to address current problems after further planning and analysis. The goal is to start implementation work to transition from the current paper-based system.
Computer viruses can slow and damage computer systems by replicating and spreading inside programs and files. They are difficult to detect and remove because they can spread across entire networks of connected computers. It is important to use antivirus software and seek help from online or offline computer support services that can properly diagnose, remove viruses, and repair any damage caused by infections. Online virus removal services allow remote access to identify and remove viruses quickly and conveniently without needing to send the physical computer away.
The document summarizes the global migrant crisis, noting that an unprecedented number of people - around 60 million or the population of Great Britain - have fled war, persecution, or economic instability in search of better lives. They undertake perilous journeys, but often face hostility in their destinations. The largest sources of migrants are Syria, with over 4 million refugees fleeing its civil war, and sub-Saharan Africa, where the spread of jihadist groups is exacerbating problems. The crisis is reshaping the world in ways that are difficult to predict due to its new, complicated, and global scale.

The document discusses the peopling of British North America from 1500 to the present. It describes the large transatlantic movement that displaced over 50 million people from places across Europe and Africa to resettle in North America. It then examines the different settlement patterns and contexts in four key areas in 1700: New England (Puritan world fading into defensive form), Hudson River to Delaware (ethnically diverse), Chesapeake colonies (large immigrant population establishing tobacco culture), and the Carolinas (trading centers emerging). The whole region is characterized as a borderland on the expanding periphery of British culture.
This document discusses the humanitarian crisis in Syria caused by the ongoing civil war. It describes how the Assad regime has brutally cracked down on protesters since 2011, using tactics like torture, barrel bombs, and chemical weapons. This has led to massive death and displacement within Syria's population. Millions have fled the country and become refugees, creating a major refugee crisis both within neighboring countries and in Europe.
The document discusses different types of human migration including forced migration, voluntary migration, periodic movement, and cyclic movement. It describes push and pull factors that influence why people migrate, including things like wars, economies, traditions, and family ties. Specific examples of regional, national, and global migration flows throughout history are provided, such as European colonization and more recent refugee crises in Africa, Asia, and Europe. Laws and policies that governments implement to control and restrict migration are also outlined.
The document provides a historical overview of Liberia from its founding in 1822 by freed American slaves through its civil wars and transition to democracy. It summarizes that Liberia was ruled by Americo-Liberians for over a century until a coup in 1980. This led to authoritarian rule by Samuel Doe until he was killed in 1990, sparking civil wars that lasted until 1997 and involved many factions. Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf was elected in 2005, becoming Africa's first female head of state.
The document provides a history of El Salvador, beginning with the earliest inhabitants like the Mayans and Olmecs thousands of years ago. It describes the Pipil culture that existed for over 400 years until the Spanish invasion in 1524 led by Pedro de Alvarado. This invasion brought violence, disease, and the destruction of Pipil culture and land seizure. In the 1800s, a small elite class controlled most of the land for growing coffee and cotton for export. In the 1970s, popular movements organized to demand reforms but faced repression from the military government backed by the U.S. This led to the formation of the FMLN guerilla group fighting for democracy and human rights. The civil war
The document discusses the 2010 earthquake in Haiti that killed over 200,000 people and severely damaged Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. It summarizes the immediate impacts including widespread building collapses, damage to infrastructure, and a massive humanitarian crisis. International response efforts are described that provided search and rescue, medical care, and other aid in the days and weeks after the quake. The document concludes with a discussion of ongoing recovery and reconstruction efforts five years later, and goals to build a more disaster-resilient Haiti through improved infrastructure, education, and economic development.
The document discusses the history of immigration to the United States. It describes how Native Americans were the first inhabitants thousands of years ago, and how European colonization beginning in the 15th century greatly reduced the Native American population through disease and warfare. It then outlines the major waves of immigration to the US from Europe and elsewhere between the 19th and 20th centuries, including large numbers from Ireland during the potato famine, Germany after the failed 1848 revolution, Jews fleeing eastern Europe, and Hispanics from Mexico and Central/South America. US immigration policy changed in the 1960s to prioritize family reunification and skills-based immigration over national quotas.
Our final presentation responds to research on cultural bereavement and strategies for educators to discuss this issue constructively with students. We brought together our different disciplines around the theme of 'Home and Land' and created unique artworks demonstrating possibilities for an annual or yearbook to engage with issues in development education in an educational and fun way.
Conflict between Russia and Ukraine, war and it's Impact.AmitRahi3
This presentation is all about the relation between Russia and Ukraine conflict in reference with the the loose of civilian.
I tried to explain the thing with taking and African proverb "when elephants fight it's the grass that get trampled.
I have discussed every every aspect of war and it's effects.
A Ukrainian counter-attack has forced Russian troops into a rapid retreat.
Here are the latest developments:
Ukraine says it has retaken more than 6,000 sq km (2,317 sq miles) from Russian control in September
In the Kharkiv region, the towns of Izyum and Kupiansk, both key hubs for the supply of Russian forces in Donbas, were taken by Ukraine on Saturday
A Ukrainian counterattack in Kherson in the south continues
Russia still holds about a fifth of the country, but the Russian retreat is being seen by many analysts as a very significant Ukrainian success
line
Russians retreat in the east
Ukrainian troops have inflicted a "major operational defeat" on Russian forces, according to the Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
Russia confirmed it had withdrawn from the key towns of Izyum and Kupiansk on Saturday, saying that the retreat would allow its troops to "regroup".
Both towns were major logistical hubs for Russian forces in Donbas. Russian troops had been trying to advance towards Kramatorsk and Slovyansk.
Izyum in particular was one of the most fortified sections of the Russian front line.
On Tuesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said troops had retaken more than 6,000 sq km (2,317 sq miles) from Russian control in September, in the east and the south.
A month into the invasion, Russia pulled back from Kyiv and declared its main goal was the "liberation of Donbas" - broadly referring to Ukraine's eastern regions of Luhansk and Donetsk. More than a third of this area was already seized by Russian proxy forces in a war that began in 2014, now Russia wanted to conquer all of it.
The Kremlin claimed it had "generally accomplished" the aims of the invasion's first phase, which it defined as considerably reducing Ukraine's combat potential. But it became clear from Russia's withdrawal that it had scaled back its ambitions.
"Putin needs a victory," said Andrei Kortunov, head of the Russian International Affairs Council. "At least he needs something he can present to his constituency at home as a victory."
Russian officials are now focused on seizing the two big eastern regions and creating a land corridor along the south coast, east from Crimea to the Russian border. They have claimed control of the southern region of Kherson and a leading Russian general has said they have hopes of seizing territory further west along the Black Sea coast towards Odesa and beyond.
"Control over the south of Ukraine is another way out to Transnistria," said Maj Gen Rustam Minnekayev, referring to a breakaway area of Moldova, where Russia has some 1,500 troops.
Ap world history – strayer unit 1 overviewJohn Seymour
This document provides an overview of early world history from the emergence of humankind to the development of civilizations. It discusses how hominids evolved in Africa around 5-6 million years ago and began migrating from Africa around 2 million years ago. Around 11,000 years ago, the agricultural revolution began as some hominid groups started domesticating plants and animals, allowing for population growth and division of labor. Some of the first complex civilizations emerged around 3500 BCE in river valleys and dominated the globe until the post-1000 CE era. Civilizations laid the foundations for modern empires, religions, technologies, and social inequalities.
California faced many challenges in its early decades as a state in organizing its social, economic, and physical infrastructure. A key focus was developing water resources through aqueducts and dams, importing water from the Colorado River to support agriculture and population growth. This enabled the growth of cities like Los Angeles but also had environmental impacts. California's economy diversified through the early 20th century in agriculture, industry, and services, making it more resilient to challenges like the Great Depression.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
