    A Historian Writing About the Asian Americans

    When people think of Asian-Americans, typically people automatically think of just Chinese people or Japanese people. The Asian-American community is made up of not only the Chinese and Japanese, but also Filipino, Indian, Vietnamese, and Korean. The term Asian American was used informally by activists in the 1960s who sought an alternative to the term Oriental, arguing that the latter was derogatory and colonialist. Usually when people say Oriental, they are referring to a food, not a person.…

    Philippine Insurrection

    For a brief period of time, America became the exact thing it once strived to defeat: an imperialist. The moment the Treaty of Paris was signed on February 6, 1899, America became an imperialist. America was divided on the issue of imperialism. Some said that imperialism was wrong because it was against everything our nation was founded upon. Others saw imperialism as a chance to exploit people and land to earn power and prestige. The following paragraphs will explore America’s experimentation with imperialism in the Philippines.…

    Rereading America - the Myth O

    The story that I chose to write about was “One Big Happy Family,” by Anndee Hochman. The story is about a young woman whose family life seemed to be the American dream, for those of us looking in from the outside. Her family owned a house in the city like most of us and a house on the beach. The house on the beach was unique with its architecture anomalies, which made the house more a mix and match of parts than like her normal home in the city. The whole family, including relatives from afar, would gather there during the summer to spend time with each other. When in actuality behind her family’s unity, was a demand for conformity to her family’s way of life and thinking. The author finally realized that in order for her to find happiness she had to look within herself and learn to listen to her feelings. Once she learns this lesson, she will be able to break the bounds of her family’s conformity and find the peace of mind that she has always longed for. Several of the stories throughout this chapter discuss different myths of “One Big Happy Family,” however it all seems to come back to the individual, and what they believe in.…

    Lao-Tzu, Machiavelli, and the American Government

    Lao-Tzu's "Thoughts from the Tao-te Ching" and Machiavelli's "The Qualities of a Prince" both have the ultimate goal of making better leaders. The tactics that each writer chooses to present as a guide for the leader are almost opposite of each other. Today's American government would benefit from a combination of the two extreme ideas. Lao-Tzu's laissez-faire attitude towards the economy, as well as his small scale, home defense military is appealing to a liberal person. Machiavelli's attitude towards miserliness and lower taxes, while being always prepared for war, would appeal to a conservative person. The writers are in agreement on some issues, such as taxes, but other ideas, such as government involvement in the everyday lives of citizens are completely opposed to one another.…

    American Literature

    American literature traces back to the time of the Native Americans and Puritans, and over time developed many literary movements influenced by Transcendentalists and Realists. The beliefs of the Native Americans and Puritans as well as the philosophy of the Transcendentalists and Realists contrast with one another. These four major groups of American writers all differ in the sense that all of them look to a different power head or ideology for truth. For example, Native Americans look outside themselves to nature; while Puritans look to God, and Transcendentalists look within themselves; whereas realists question whether there is truth.…

    Essay About American Imperialism

    During the late nineteenth century, the United States joined an imperialistic movement in which they expanded their economic, political, or military control over weaker nations. At this time, European nations were already imperialist powers who established colonies all throughout Africa. Because the United States wanted to be in new markets, have a stronger military, and believed they were culturally superior, they joined this trend of imperialism. American imperialism promoted economic prosperity in some countries, but in others it resulted in more chaos and resentment; therefore, American imperialism was justifiable in certain countries but not in others.…

    Personal Narrative Essay: The Filipino American Man

    Last December, before my nephew Elton, winter’s break began, I called my sister to see if her son could spend his winter break with us in Sacramento. With excitement in her voice, she readily agreed to allow Elton to come and promised to tell him when she picked him up after school.

I would love to visit you guys on my winter break!”…

    History of the Americas Essay

    Before the arrival of the Europeans to the Americas, Indians had lived and eventually developed different types of societies. The first and most simple of the type of society were called “nomadic societies”. These usually consisted of about fifteen to fifty people and usually no more than that. Men were primarily the hunters and women were the gatherers. These societies were also equalitarian which was a system based on everyone in the community contributing equally. Indian societies were also often matrilineal. They would heavily rely on women who were seen as the “backbone” of the tribe. Although men typically ruled these societies, women played a huge role in spiritual rituals and female elders helped select tribal leaders and took part in the gatherings. Due to the small number of people, they had the ability to move around frequently which helped the women figure out a system for successful farming. Another type of society was known as a “semi-nomadic society”. In the semi-nomadic societies they had larger groups of people usually consisting of approximately fifty to one hundred people. Because these societies had a larger number of people, their ability to migrate was nonexistent thus initiated the birth of domestication of plants and animals. This also helped develop the earliest form of agriculture which was called slash and burn. With this technique the Indians figured out that if you burn and slash your crops, they grow back much stronger and in a more abundant amount. Another outcome of these societies was came a form of headship within the communities. This form of leadership typically consisted of a council of elders because the Indians believed they have more experience in life and have lived the longest, they have valuable wisdom and knowledge to share. Sedentary civilizations soon followed in development. In these civilizations, class systems were established. At the top of the social pyramid were the priests and…
