    During British Imperialism in the 1800s, due to its weak military defense and disorganized political structure, China ceded its southeastern island—Hong Kong in the Treaty of Nanking, as the result of losing the Opium War. Since 1842, Hong Kong has been a British colony that adopted English laws and system. As Mainland China develops its economic and political power throughout the 20th century, United Kingdom reverted Hong Kong back to Chinese sovereignty in 1997, ending 156 year’s British ruling. Because of its many differences--political, cultural, and economic—Hong Kong was established as its own special administrative region called HKSAR of China. Although it is officially a part of China, Hong Kong has its own regional…

    In the 1993 film Schindler’s List directed by Stephen Spielberg the Czech man Oskar Shindler was trying to make a profit during World War II by hiring cheap Jewish laborers. The Shoah is considered the worst genocide to happen in history, because it was industrialized peoples bodies. The mass killings that occurred allowed for those bodies to be used for other means, which proves how inhumane these killings were. Shindler’s story shows us that one man can change the world and save generations of families.…

    Into The history of Louisiana, there are many things that occur. Such as the great the depression, how Louisiana became the French Louisiana than the Spain than the French once own it again. Deep into the history of Louisiana you can learn a lot and share it with many other. LaSalle was the French explorer who discovered Louisiana for France in 1682. The difficulties he face was that he never established the colony but was the 1st initial person to discover Louisiana. Treaty of Fontainebleau was the secret treaty which marked the first transition of authority for the Louisiana colony. Most Louisiananians reactions were I guess okay, the king of Spain/King od France were related so France sells Louisiana to Spain. The kings agree that France should give Spain the country known as Louisiana. Bienville was the Father of Louisiana.” Yes, he deserve that title, because he took the place of wanting to finish what LaSalle started. He were rank of Admiral and went off to fight the English. During the Territorial Period Louisiana was becoming a true "melting point", for various reasons. The people of Louisiana had not previously known many Americans. Many claimed membership in the Catholic Church, but only went to church for their own personal reasons, this did not help that the American Protestants who poured into the territory. The people in Louisiana also expressed dissatisfaction with jury service, voting, and other democratic civil duties, which they saw initially as impositions rather than privileges. Without Claiborne guidance I think Louisiana would still be facing some hardship, citizen won't have the advantages they have now. History may or may not would have repeat it self, because of the lost they would have face there wouldn't have been any changes for the government etc.…

    Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity to participate in the group discussion in person on the day we were on campus. I have since emailed both particpants in my group, Anna Guzman and Tara Rhodes, who both responded promptly that everyone was submitting short answers to the questions in our discussion group, to compare and analyze. I have since compared and reviewed their answers with mine and we have similar opinions on Shackleton’s leadership traits, the meaning of the great achievement of failure to us all seemed to be that his greatest achievement was successfully keeping his team of men alive for two years. Not only did he keep them alive, they were for the most part happy and positive until the end. I think we also all agreed that leading by example was the greatest motivator he gave to his team. People are more likely to do what you ask if they see you alongside of them working just as hard. Learning about Shackleton has been one of the most enjoyable parts of my BSN education and I look forward to researching and learning more about him.…

    The definitions of crime and law differ from country to country as well as it is also affected by time. For instance, it is not a crime to eat or butcher a dog in Mainland China but it is illegal to do so in Hong Kong (China and Hong Kong are one country but both have their own political and social system, so their definitions and process of crime and law differ) and to consume or trade of opium was legal in Hong Kong before second world war but after that it is criminalized to trade or consume opium in Hong Kong. Today opium is illegal all over the world. Now we can make a point that criminalizing any behaviour by the law is relatively affected by time and space in general. The certain types of behaviour that is criminalized in early days may not be criminal behaviour nowadays and one country that define certain behaviour as criminal, other countries may not define as so. But lethal crimes such as murder, rape and robbery-crimes that have obvious victims and pose clear threats to the security of people and property- are always and anywhere defined as crime (Course guide, unit 1, p.3). To understand this case, first of all, we need to be clear that what is crime and law in basic and going through more examples and criminal perspectives we can conclude ‘only some types of behaviour and not others are criminalized by the law.’…
