The French Presence In North America
1,085 words
The French presence in North America was
spearheaded by the exploration of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence and the great river leading inland by
Jaques Cartier in the 1530 s. The English
immediately contested the French claims on the
grounds that they conflicted with prior English
claims dating from John Cabot's landings on the
east coast of North America in 1497, thus setting
off a struggle which was to dominate the history
of the region until the Treaty of Paris in 1763.
The first French settlements ...

Women In China Role Of Women
1,562 words
Even since the dramatic post- 1949 changes in
China regarding the role of women, China has
remained paternalistic in it's attitudes and
social reality. The land reform, which was
intended to create a more balanced economic force
in marriage, was the beginning of governmental
efforts to pacify women, with no real social
effect. Communist China needed to address the
"woman question." Since women wanted more
equality, and equality is doled out from the hands
of those in power, capitalism was examin...

Giant Salvinia or Kariba weed, is a free floating

France And Britain War Reparations

The crumbling of Western culture after World War I
mirrored how the global economy would as well.
After the War came what ultimately was the global
state of depression. This was in no means meant to
describe the world emotionally, but most likely it
did. People were jobless, and some penniless.
There were dissatisfied nations dealing with terms
of treaties with which they had no agreement. The
main reason for the spread of the depression was
that of the lack of self-reliance that ultimately

Population Growth Carrying Capacity

... ered around, it was be painfully obvious that
this could only mean one thing: the resource is
very abundant now, compared with the demand for
that resource. However, the only thing that this
means is that resources just aren't as scarce
right now, as they used to be. One of the major
causes for this is quite possibly the
over-saturation of the market with such resources.
Because mankind's economies are using the
resources so quickly, there doesn't appear to be
as much scarcity as there once ...

Legalization Of Marijuana Civil Liberties

exercise in lost time in contemporary activity. In

Artificial Insemination Genetic Diversity

Genetic Diversity In Agriculture Genetic variation
is the raw material for the plant breeder, who
must often select from primitive and wild plants,
including wild species, in search of new genes.
The appearance of new diseases, new pests, or new
virulent forms of disease causing organisms makes
it imperative that the plant be preserved, because
it offers a potential for the presence of disease

varieties. Also, there are demands for new

massive worldwide famine was just around the
corner. The number of people would keep increasing
while the amount of food available would stay the
same or even decline. The result, the experts
argued, was famine by the early 198...
