Mikhail Gorbachev and the end of Communism

2007-05-14T19:14:00.000-07:00

The end of Communism was that Mikhail Gorbachev had actually let the people decide instead of him deciding. He opened the Union by something called a glasnost . It was something that encouraged the people to discuss the various ways to improve their society. They modernized it by allowing churches to reopen they released their ancestors and descendants from prison and also they had the reporters investigate their social and economic problems. But Gorbachev only solved the political system but the economy was still messed up. Perestroik resolved the economic system it made it a better way to live.

Nelson Mandela and Apartheid

2007-05-07T19:26:00.000-07:00

Apartheid means to be segregated between two races, one race claiming they are superior than the other. Nelson Mandela was a man who wanted all races to live in harmony together. He spoke for those who were dealing with apartheid and he had done many non-violent acts through strikes, civil disobedience, and demonstrations. It is bold of Nelson because Africa was ruled under the whites for almost three and a half centuries and they can have a voice. Many authors admire him because of his courage. He dealt with the apartheid government system but yet he struggled and was a warrior at this time. He was the Africa's hope. At the end, he was chosen to be the president of South Africa and was awarded with a Nobel Peace Prize. Now, apartheid has been outlawed and people of South Africa is no longer ruled. Everyone now has the equal opportunities. Authors admire his triumph and struggle throughout all the years. I admire his ambition of freeing his country from whites. They no longer have to be thrown in jail for drinking the wrong water fountain or using the other bathrooms.

Neolithic Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution was a period a long time ago when the hunter-gatherers learned how to grow food and how to domesticate animals. This development led to the decline of nomadism and led to the early stages of civilization. People could now live in one area and not have to chase animals around and search for food. They could now tame animals such as cows and pigs. They could also grow crops, have an abundance of food, and have their food nearby. The Neolithic Revolution allowed the human race to build civilizations and has laid the foundation for the civilizations we have today.

Europian Union

2007-05-02T09:59:00.001-07:00

The European Union was when the European leaders wanted peace and union in their countries. The twenty five nations wanted to change the society of Europe. I think it is a good thing because it made a powerful nation in the world. Also the European Union has a strong economic and political nation. It was also a good thing because people that lived in the European Union could work in the nation. These are the successfulness of the European Union

The US and the USSR were competing to first see who could break the sound barrier and the who could get the first man on space. The Russians however were winning, this could be because they had better scientists because the scientists in america just were not hittig it, they kept failing to make the right kind of spaceship , one that would not blow up as soon as it went up a couple inches.This could have prolonged america winning. Some of the scences that will help me to remeber the cold war event would be the funny scences with the monkeys and the Outrages tests they had to undergo in order to qualify to go into space.

I agree that the US bombing on Japan should be the #1 news story of the century because for alot reason.

And it also ended WWII.
