dreams and new beginnings, until white people
arrived in 1607. Three groups sailed over the
treacherous Atlantic from their cruel lives in
England to set up peaceful religious colonies. The

Spheres Of Influence Sphere Of Influence

My first inclination would be to answer the first
question with a clear "YES." But come to think of
it, the causes of war really have not changed at
all, or at least very little. Rather than changes,
there has been a shift in the causes. The cause of
war which has dominated the last 50 years was the
cause of ideology. However, due to the recent end
of the Cold War, this cause of war, has
significantly declined and is almost trivial. The
causes of war have shifted from mainly ideological
ones to ...

Older People Judge People
1,048 words

acquired this sort of profiling through past
experiences, or was it acquired through today's
popular media? Though I do not see myself as a
hateful person, I have found that I do, unfairly,
judge people by their age, sex and race. Racial
profiling is common in today's society, from
popular comedians to m...
