Causes of Americans Revolution In 1763, the Royal Proclamation got declared by the British to conciliate the Native Americans after the end of the France and Indian war. The proclamation led to the establishment of new mainland colonies, namely; West Florida, Quebec, and East Florida, where the soldiers settled after winning the war, which lasted for seven years. However, the proclamation banned the colonists from moving in the west of the Appalachian Mountains resulting in conflicts as many colonists were not pleased with the treaty, including George Washington. Consequently, the French allied with the native tribes in the conflict due to the dissatisfaction from the British leadership. Eventually, the battles led to the declaration of independence of America. Thus, this paper discusses how the creation of proclamation led to the introduction of laws by the British to rule colonists causing revolution by Americans to achieve independence. In May 1763, a pan-tribal group headed by Ottawa chief Pontiac formed a rebellion against the British rule. The Native warriors attacked various British forts, whereby eight were captured. They also raided many frontier…

Short Story Reflection In this course, I have encountered several short stories. Some of them were amusing and enjoyable while others were less interesting. The story that I found very interesting is The Girls in Their Summer Dresses by Irwin Shaw. This paper explores why I was fascinated by this short story and the extent to which it has influenced my personal character. I found Irwin Shaw’s The Girls in their Summer Dresses interesting for various reasons. To begin, I think that this short story uses characters that one resonates with. Michael and Frances plan to visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Shaw, 1939). However, their plans are delayed when Frances catches Michael looking at women walking along the streets. Michael’s conduct raises a relatively serious conflict as Frances thinks that the behavior of her husband suggests that he is less interested in her and may end up cheating on her. On the contrary, Michael argues that he is very committed to his wife and is only entertaining his eyes by looking at other women (Shaw, 1939). Although Michael’s explanation…

Gun control Research Gun control is a critical issue in the United States. Different people bear conflicting opinions and ideologies that influence this vital debate. For example, factors such as political orientation and its influence have been found to play a critical role in shaping individual perceptions of the concept. The question of if individuals should be allowed to bear and keep arms is often debated on various fronts and bases. The legality of this concept is found in the Second Amendment of the Constitution. Controlling access to guns is a vital issue that requires the evaluation of huge factors. Well-thought-out strategies must be implemented, such as more education and awareness creation on gun safety (“Gun Control – Pros & Cons,” 2020).

It cuts across various filed such as work, school, and other crucial spheres of daily life. For example, gun possession in schools has been highlighted as a rising…
Corporate Communication Research paper Introduction Corporate communication is the movement of information by a firm, either internally, or externally. Internal communication includes horizontal and vertical communication, both of which involve interaction within the organization. External communication, on the other hand, consists of the potential investors, the stakeholders, the media, tax regulators, the government, and the general public. A firm’s mode of communication depends on the audience of the specific information and may take the form of a financial report, an electronic mail, a verbal message, etc. (Stobierski. T, 2019). Corporate communication is a crucial element of running a company as it involves passing instructions to the employees and recording of reports to the management. It goes a long way in the success of a firm, being one of the main pillars of a successful firm.

The mental health of aboriginal people in Canada. Introduction The aboriginal peoples around the world have experienced marginalization, a rapid change in culture, and global economy absorption without regarding their autonomy (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). In many communities, the discontinuity in culture has been linked to high rates of violence, alcoholism, and depression, with a significant impact on youth. The aboriginal people constitute 4 percent of the Canadian population, with 11 major language groups (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). There is a substantial linguistic and cultural difference among many groups. There are also enormous differences in lifestyle, perspective, and values within the urban population of aboriginal people. Despite this diversity, most groups share common economic, social, and political predicaments. The shared common predicament has made people forge a collective identity among diverse groups. This paper seeks to explain in detail the peoples of Canada’s mental issues, which comprise the First Nations, Inuit, and Metis (Kirmayer, Brass & Tait, 2000). The paper explores the history of systematic suppression and dislocation and its range and level of the problems it causes…
Research proposal and Annotated Bibliography Research proposal My research paper will be contacted and analyzed in the following three locations, which include my room, neighbor’s house, and Roedde House Museum in Vancouver. I prefer using these locations because of the following reasons; My place is more preferred in this study because of the cool environment it offers to me. I think it is more reliable for me as I will have an easy time visualizing, thinking, and conceptualizing my ideas due to the little interruption it offers. I think using a neighbor’s house for this analysis will have a significant positive impact due to the implication that my neighbor’s house has got all facilities like one can get almost all services inside the same house. Since the house contains all computer services and products, for example, printing, laminating, computers for typing and editing, and many more others create a suitable environment for me to opt using it due to its excellent support to me. Roedde House Museum is one of the historical sites in Vancouver which has good sceneries. Since…
Report on the Kam Wah Chung History Pub Background information [50] The online lecture, dated November 28, 2011, is about the history of the Kam Wah Chung museum in John Day by Chrissy Sweet. Chrissy is a curator at the Kam Wah Chung state heritage site. The lecture by Chrissy is forty-two minutes long and is recorded at McMenamins Kennedy School. Summary [193] Chrissy begins the lecture by showing a picture of the Kam Wah Chung museum and the location of John Day. In the 1860s, John Day became a gold mining area that attracted many Chinese laborers. The total number of Chinese immigrants that settled in John Day was about two thousand, Doc Hay and Lung On being part of them. The two formed a business partnership and bought a building in 1887, which became the Kam Wah Chung. The two, as Chrissy mentions, were very different in character. Doc Hay was a doctor who practiced traditional Chinese medicine in the building. He was benevolent and down to earth. His excellence in curing people made him known by many.…
How can we as a global society and as individuals shift our response to conflicting beliefs and perspectives to reduce harm and destruction?” My goal was to focus on the question, “How can we as a global society and as individuals shift our response to conflicting beliefs and perspectives to reduce harm and destruction?” My target was to understand the results that I am likely to get at the end of my studies. I chose this goal personally since I came from a traditional family. I’m part Laos, and part Chinese. I’ve grown up knowing more about my Chinese culture than my Laos culture, but they both have molded me into the person I am today. They have given me a different outlook on everything and taught me to look at and comprehend things in the way I do now. I do believe that other countries have their own beliefs and values that make up their identity. I wanted to utilize this opportunity to learn more about my Laos culture. I would then compare both understandings of the…
