First what is the Stock Market, the market is "a equity market or share market is the aggregation of buyers and sellers of stocks, which represent ownership claims on businesses; these may include securities listed on a public stock exchange as well as those only traded privately." The Stock Market is a very powerful thing ans many powerful people in America play the game of the stock market. This is a very high risk high reward game and this is a dangerous game that has been played in America from as early 1817 when the New York Stock exchange was created and founded on March 8th 1817.  Many things have happened to the market over the 200 years it has been around. But nothing compares to what happened on Tuesday October 29th 1929, this day is known as "Black Tuesday" this was the huge crash in the market because of the massive selling of stocks which lead to the markets crash which is known as Black Tuesday.  Many things go into investing and the buying of s...

World War One is finally over, the world is in shock of how many people have died. The final toll was, 22 million deaths and 11 million of which were civilians. Over 20 million wounded, 10 million refugees across the world. The war cost a whopping total of $338 million dollars. This is the first time ever in the history of the earth where so many lives have been lost, the toll took America by storm and we were in great sadness because of all the lives that have been lost during what people call "The Great War"  Life was hard after world war one, America doubled their economy during that time because America was producing weapons for other country during the war. America's economy was booming during the war so when the war is over and nobody needs weapons and supplies anymore the economy dipped after the war. America was now shifting from wartime products so no money is pouring into America like it was when world war one was taking place. Another rising problem that i...

First what is Imperialism? Imperialism is when stronger nations extend economic, political and, military control over weaker territories. Imperialism can be caused by four major causes, economic, military strength, nationalism and socialism and, "no more frontier." All of these causes are how imperialism can be enforced in a country. One of the causes of imperialism is economics when stronger nations see value in a smaller country and want to take over their market of raw materials. For example when The U.S found out that Hawaii had a rich market of sugar the U.S was very intrigued and wanted a piece of it because they saw big value in the sugar market, the sugar plantations in Hawaii dominated 75% of the Hawaiian market. This dominance of the market led the U.S president McKinley putting a tariff on sugar so the government could make money off of the imported sugar which was a 4% tax on the sugar from Hawaii. This is a perfect example of imperialism because the U.S saw a w...

Does all things have a good ending?  Some people may say so but I don't think so because I've had a lot happen to me over many years. Some things range from movies to actual life altering events. For example one thing that changed me forever was when I came to Athens Drive, I had no friend what so ever, that was pretty bad and i still have a long way to go till the end. Something that also has a lot more work to be done is "women's rights" this is a major issue today and even back early in the 19th century.  Women in the early 19th century had it very bad that got little to no pay on he places that they worked, and the places that they worked were not clean at all and had little to no space at all. They working conditions were absolutely awful. They were just asking for an accident to happen. Then on March 25th the Triangle Shirtwaist Company factory in New York City burned, killing 145 workers. It is remembered as one of the most infamous incidents in ...

Does the past affect the future?  In today's day in age people all around the world are never asking "what" but "why." Why is that? Why do we always have to ask why? Sometimes I wonder how I got to where I am today and how I got there, for example how do I know how to swim? It's because at a very young age both of my parents taught me how to swim by putting me in swim lessons for many years so that if I'm ever in a situation where I need to swim I am able too, so if I go to a pool party with friends I'm not the kid on the side of the pool watching everybody have fun in the pool, since I can swim I can enjoy quality time with friends and have fun in the pool. This demonstrates a perfect way of how the past always affects the future. What if my parents never put me through swim lessons? I wouldn't have been able to have fun at that party, or even worse what if i got pushed in the pool? What would I have done?  If I were to ask you, "w...
