Day One,1904,0800hrs.
Well, Here I am. Arrived at the so called "Panama Canal". I recently heard to be careful of some of the things here. Well, gotta go to work.

Day Six,1904,2100hrs
Today was a hard day. Carrying supplies back and forth place to place. Its just painstaking work. I got bit by a mosquito today. Jeeze did it hurt. Ehh probably nothing.

Day Twelve,1904,1800hrs
I was dismissed from working today due to sickness. Its been a brief amount of time since my last journal entry. I have a horrendous fever and uncontrollable sweating. hope it passes soon.

Day Nineteen,1904,0600hrs
Wow so much sweating. Its gotta be like over 100 degrees here as it is, and on top of sickness. It just keeps getting worse and worse.

Day Twenty One,1904,0900hrs
Just witnessed someone pass out. I hope they are okay. My sickness seems to be getting better. I think I'm becoming numb to it.

Day Twenty Four,1904,0800hrs
Working seems to get very monotonous and im getting very tired. Although im still sweating, I became numb to my sickness. Maybe its out of my system.

Day Twenty Five,1904,09000hrs
I have been served papers for the clinic. They said I have roughly a day to live. Wow. This is hard to believe. They said it was some disease called "Yellow Fever" or something like that. . .

Imperialism. . .or is it?

The 2009 fantastic movie Avatar, Directed by James Cameron is a very good example of imperialism. It clearly shows imperialism and biodiversity. The movie consists of a character (Jake Sully), paraplegic marine who is accepted into an "Avatar" program to be one of the native species. The Marines find out that the native species (sky people) are inhabiting an area where a precious rock lays. This stone is worth millions and the Marines will do anything to meet their demands. The marines end up going to war with the Navi people. The marines clearly using genocide to and imperialism to try to conquer the species.



The Navi fight back with Jake Sully and push back the marines into a retreat. The marines had lost the war against the Navi. According to Answers.com, Avatar seems to fit the role for imperialism.

"The most prominent reason for imperialism was to make as much money as possible there were many ways of doing so through imperialism one was to obtain raw resources from colonial resources like gold, spices, and valuable gems. Another way of making money through imperialism was by using the people native to that area as a work force in factories and textiles. Gaining control of the people was key for imperialism to work and therefore imperials sought after land gaining and keeping strategic land points so that power could be attained and held over the people, and lastly the desire to map out and explore uncharted land was another purpose for imperialism."

Edumacation.

In the 1900's slaves really had no source of education. Most slaves did not know how to read and write. They were extremely illiterate. Some slave owners were very nice and kind, and taught some slaves how to read and write. Other slave owners were brutal and would punish slaves if they were caught being taught on how to read an write. In this condition, they would learn through other slaves.

Line Down Middle of World.

From the 1950's to 60's African American citizens were segregated. They really had no say in what White people did. There were drastic measures to people who tried to change this during this time. For instance, Beaten up, sprayed with fire hoses, etc. The Ku Klux Klan also had effect in people. They did not like the African Americans or anyone who did not agree with them. The KKK would even make deals with the police in some states, almost like a bribe. It wasn't until Martin Luther King Jr. who actually succeeded in anti segregation. Lifestyle in the 50's and 60's were very brutal.

Oregon Trail...Lvl 1

This game is very peculiar. It is different from today's technology. By playing this game you come to the conclusion that you really need to read and pay attention to small details other wise you will not know the answers to the questions provided. It then goes onto a documentary type of interactive video game. The graphics of it alone cracked me up with a huge smirk. by interacting with this video game and remembering historic dates, locations, and persons, it will help you remember specific events. it is like playing jeopardy for a different subject, for example; English, Science, or even World History.

The Computer is Mightier Than The Pen.

I really enjoy blogging more than pen and paper. its the 21 century and were finally advancing in some fields. I dislike writing things down on paper. If it was up to me, all school work would be done by computers. Although we are advancing toward that region, not fast enough. Most teens (like me) are always on the computer, so it makes homework a lot easier to do. You also cant come up with the excuse that the dog ate it, or you lost it. Doing homework electronically has its advantages. We are also saving trees and pen ink. Going green is a major concern in today's society, and doing homework online is a major step toward green!
