Picture number 4 would best match the word imperialism, due to the fact that imperialism means to have a policy extending a country's power and influence through diplomacy and military force, and in the picture it shows England trying to expand and have power over the countries surrounding it.
What is the difference between aid, a treaty, and an alliance?
An Aid assists or helps during war to help win the war, but an Treaty is an agreement between two countries, so in a treaty they don't help each other, just agree on something. An alliance is a benefiting relationships between two or more countries when they have common interest or goal. Why isn't the United States a part of the diagram above? United States did not take part in World War 1 until April 6, 1917, when World War 1 started July 28, 1914. Does the United States become a part of the diagram? If so, when and why? Yes, when they join World War 1 in 1917, because they allied with Britain, France, and Russia. What surprised you in your thinking and learning during and/or after the Immigration Activity in class?

I think what surprised me most is the way the immigrants were treated once they were in America and during the process of going into America. In the video shown in class we saw how poorly the immigrants were treated. They were separated from family with no explanation, and sometimes sent home with no explanation. They had sickness symbols put on them, and were ignored. I want to know what a child would do if he/she were separated from their family and were allowed access into the country, but their family wasn't. I learned about the way the people separated immigrants with sicknesses, they did it with chalk and had symbolism. Where did our family name/ last name come from? -It is a french last name and was cut down to be shorter because no one knew how to spell it except for my great grandmother.
Where do I get my love cooking? -My mom constantly makes what she calls "concoctions", and makes new food from different cultures. She always asks me to help and that's how my love for culinary arts grew. What made you want to settle down and have kids? -I wasn't planned but, she figured out her responsibilities for being a parent. How have I changed throughout the years? -I have matured, and my love for certain things have faded. I have become stronger and capable to handle situations better. I have new interests now, also. What economic class are we in? -Middle class. I was born in Colorado Springs, Colorado and lived there til I was two years old. My mom moved because she wanted me to around family growing up, and not just her and I together. We moved in with my grandmother in Illinois. After that we bopped around from apartment to apartment. The last place we lived in was Downers Grove, for a few years. Then one day my mom told me we were going to live in a house. I now live in a cute little house in Woodridge, by tons of trees, a forest preserve, library, mall and tons of restaurants. Geography: the nature and relative arrangement of places and physical features. This affected because, if I didn't move I wouldn't have met the amazing people, and gone through the good and bad experiences in while living here. The people in my life have changed me for the better completely.
My father wasn't in my life, but my mom always has been and practically raised me on her own. My dad was abusive mentally and physically; he wasn't ready for a kid and stayed out of my life for that reason and many others. Although, my mom still tried to give me the best childhood she could. I started modelling and taking interest in performing arts at a very young age. I was raised to be artsy and creative; truly being myself in every way I could. Since then I have participated in musicals, plays, art classes, writing and making crafts/art pieces. For few years now if I have ever been torn down or sad I wrote poetry. Poetry has played a huge part in my life and has even helped me express my feelings when I couldn't. History: past events connected with someone or something. If i haven't had my current interests or gone through what I have in the past I wouldn't be the 'Sierra' I am today. Going through bad things have made me emotionally strong and understanding of others problems; I have become less selfish. Plus, the past opportunities I have been given have made my self esteem grow. I didn't have a high self esteem before and was very unhappy but because of the chances given to me I am so much more happy. Over the past year I've had health problems that I still don't have the answer for. I shake quite frequently with out any explanation, get migraines everyday, see spots in my eyes, get over heated and light headed and recently passed out. I've had to get an two MRI's this summer due to these health issues (passing out was quite recent) and they said I have spots on my brain. They still don't know what's wrong but I have had the best support from not only my family but from a dear, close, friend. Without having people in my life who love me I probably would have broken down, like I have done before. Currently, my family is a middle class family. My mom worked hard to get where we are as a single mother, and had no help from anyone to get there. When I was little we didn't have the best income, and lived in small apartments. That never held us back though. Hard work and dedication from my mom got us in a happy living situation now. In the community I live in now I participate in many activities but NJHS is definitely a big one. Overall, I think doing community service would continue to build me as a person and be more appreciative of all I have. I live in a world that still has sexism and racism, but I try to play an active roll on expressing my feelings on those issues. I am a proud feminist and even try to spread all kinds of issues of the world on my Tumblr blog. Rewinding a few years back I said my father didn't play the role quite right in my life. The first time he let, he left with anger problems, and addictive behavior. He came back when I was about 9 years old and tried to once again be the father figure. He built trust and even though he still had some of his old bad habits he was mostly forgiven for the past. That all changed when he left AGAIN when I was 12 years old to Australia and got married secretly. Trust and hope was replaced with anger and sadness. My self esteem dropped and so did my happiness. Everything was downhill, and I went to therapy. That played a big role in my life. I was depressed and thought I didn't deserve any goodness in my life. I had the worst confidence and started some bad habits. I hate myself for a very long time. I think overall that part in my life has made me into the more confident and happier person I am today. I, since then, have met some amazing friends and specifically have one person in my life that truly changed my view on everything, so I am truly glad it happened. I saw my father for the first time in 2 years recently. It made me realize how much I've grown and I am happy now even though I know that I will probably never have the father/daughter family relationship, I always have my mom and her boyfriends family to guide me in the right direction and give me love. This is my blog page, hope you enjoy.
