Recommended: Religion and politics around the world

At the beginning of the semester the Operation World (OW) book was a little intimating to me. It was such a large book and all about the world and what goes on in places. I have never been someone who knows things about the world and have never had an interest, but reading Operation World really opened my eyes. Through reading OW I knew of the names of some places, but for the most part I did not even know where these places were or what goes on there. OW gave me insight into all the places we read on and showed me that there is definitely worse problems else where than just here in America. I think that as an American we can get tied up with all the crazy news that goes on here that we forget there are other countries besides us. OW allowed

    It also shows some more common ideas, like how all families have secrets, and in just a short time, someone’s life can be turned upside down and they have to find the best way to stay strong for themselves and their families. The most important thing I learned from this book, is how some people in other cultures find life to be very difficult when they are trying to do what is best for their family. Anita kept saying America is the ‘free country’ and I couldn’t agree more. So many people want to come here for so many different reasons, and it makes you realize that if our country is so great that people from all over the world want to move here, we are very lucky to be so highly thought

    People were witnessing the Holocaust, persecution, racism on a global scale, and nothing was being done to stop it. Because of things like The Book Thief, these ideas are being presented in such a way that they shouldn't be real. People all over the world try on a daily basis to get rid of things like genocide or persecution, but the only way to stop it is to educate the rest of the world that isn’t putting any effort into the cause. The world needs to change to start believing in a peaceful world, and that will only happen if everyone takes a part in making the world a better place. I believe that the world has the potential to be a great place, but things like World War II and the Holocaust have proven me wrong.

Hopeful my eyes can stay dry this time.

  • Ap Us History Reflection

    The thing I remember being most excited to learn about was the history of America from 2000 to 2010. At the end of the year in AP US History, our teacher divided our class into groups with each group researching and making a project about a decade in US history. I was excited to learn about the period for many reasons. For one, several of my friends were in my group and we'd be working together, playing off of each other's strengths to produce the best possible result. Secondly, the most recent decade combines two of my strong interests: history and current events. By learning about recent history, I'd be able to make connections between what happened years ago and what's on the front page of USA Today. Finally, and perhaps most importantly,

    I have been in a position to connect the dots like when we recently learned about Miranda v. Arizona. I had previously read about the supreme court case Miranda v. Arizona, but never knew the deal behind it. Now I know what happened with the case, and I have been able to connect it with the real world and what this nation is currently going through. This course has taught me many things about our nation and it 's great upcoming. The court cases have helped me understand the civil rights movements that have occurred throughout our nation 's lifetime. The history of our nation has given me insight on the ways the future generations, us, can help change the world and the ways to avoid the mistakes made by our ancestors. The hierarchy of the government showed me how the world works and how one must follow orders to succeed. This course has truly helped me understand the new ideas presented by life itself. I can now relate to history and find comfort in history and believe it will help me find an answer to my

  • Importance of Studying History

    956 Words  | 2 Pages

    1.     The importance of the study of world history to me personally as an American is very significant because I hope to find a career where I will work with many diverse people and I not only want to know them, but I want to have an understanding of where they came from in order to associate with them better. Another reason is that an American can be from any culture from around the world. Americans aren’t any certain race or religion, so we have to understand our fellow citizens just as they need to understand us. I was in definite need of a course like this because before I started taking this class I had no idea of the simple concept of the different beliefs between Hinduism and Judaism. I had heard of the different religions vaguely in high school, but was never actually taught about them. I didn’t even know that Jews did not eat pig because they thought it was a descendant of the devil. If I weren’t to know that, somewhere down the road I might have offered one of my Jewish friends a ham sandwich and that would have been a very embarrassing situation.
