Neolithic Revolution

The Neolithic Revolution is the transition from hunting and gathering. It also means the first agricultural revolution, as first adopted by various independent prehistoric human societies, in alot of locations. The first agricultural revolution spurred major social changes, including an increasing population, the organization of a hierarchical society, specialization in non-agricultural crafts, barter and trade, and the expansion of human "control" over nature.

basically the European leaders became convinced that the only way to secure a lasting peace between their countries was to unite them economically and politically. In other words almost all the countries in Europe united. The European Union was an extremly a good thing because it was like all of europe was one big country, and also all the people that were in the European Union can go from country to country with out boarder checks. This will prevent wars from happining because, lets just say that the Russians decide to take over some coutnry in the European Union, Russia will also get jumped by all of the other countries in the European Union.

Film Lesson - " The right stuff "

In the film " The Right Stuff " the Americans and the Russians were competing on how will be the first person ever to reach space. While America heard rumours that the Russians sent a monkey into space America felt really stupid. About a week later America sent up a monkey into space so they can test out the rockets, but then the U.S.S.R sent out a person successfully and then America felt even more stupid. A few years later the Americans sent a man on the moon at the year 1967. One of the scenes that will let me remember the cold war is when the Russian guy was laughing when the launched a man into space.

cuban missile crisis

On October 22, 1962, President John F. Kennedy told the world that the Soviet Union was building secret missile bases in Cuba, about 90 miles off away from Florida. Thirty-five years later, the Cuban Missile Crisis is viewed as one of the "hottest" moments of the Cold War because the 2 countries were so close to start a nuclear war which would mean that they would start attacking each other directly. On October 28 JFK demanded that the Soviet light bombers must be removed from Cuba, and specifying the exact form and conditions of United States assurances not to invade Cuba.

NATO and the Warsaw Pact

The North Atlantic Treaty Organisation is a military alliance established by the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty on April 4, 1949. The organisation established a way of collective security where its member states agree to mutual defence in response to an attack by any external party. The Warsaw Pact is the name given to the treaty between Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union, which was signed in Poland in 1955 and was officially called ‘The Treaty of Friendship and Co-operation and Mutual Assistance’. The countries that formed these aliances are Albania, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and the Soviet Union. They formed this because the members of the Warsaw Pact pledged to defend each other if one or more of the members were attacked.

Film Lesson: "Night and Fog"

Some of my reactions to "Night and Fog" were, surprised, sorry for the jews. Yes, i did find the film as powerful as you did, because the scenes were so dramatic and it was all true and it was so eye popping and it was like you can hardly belive it. The scenes in Schindler's List were not as powerful as the one in "Night and Fog" because first you already know that Schindler's List is just a really great movie and the scenes were not as dramatic but in the film "Night and Fog" you know that these scenes are real and that they really happened and also how they treated the bodies and cut the heads off and used the fat to make soap and used the hair as wool and the Nazi's still kept all of the belongings from the jews it was so horrifying but also it shows what the jews had to go through. I think that the documentary illustrates the Holocaust more effectively than the Hollywood version because the documentary is REAL stuff.

Film Lesson: "Schindler's List"

The film, Schindler's list, illustrated the Holocaust because it shows how the Nazi's tried to annihilate the jews during world war 2. the Nazi's were brutal mean and extremely harsh. the separated the children from their mothers and killed them all so they do not reproduce a new jewish population. the scenes that were most powerful to me as a viewer is The liquidation of the Krakow ghetto, because when the Nazi's rampaged through the ghetto, the Nazi's killed thousands of jewish people. who ever they found that was jewish was shot over 20 times. useful workers were shot like they were nothing. people that were found hiding were shot and killed with their family with no thinking what wrong they did or what did they do to deserve this. Because of Adolf Hitlers sick twisted mind millions of jews were killed. the images from the film will stay with me are the images of the children being taken away from their parents. I felt very sorry for the parents and especially the children because the children didn't do anything wrong to deserve what happened to them.

US Atomic Bombing of Japan in 1945

i do agree that the US Atomic Bombing of Japan is the #1 news story of the century, because it was the most deadliest thing that ever happened at that time and also affected the future due to the radiation, the radiation affected birth and breathing problems which killed many other of Japaneses people. I think that the lucky ones died due to the impact of the atomic bombing, because the people that died after 10 years are the ones that suffered and went through the most, because they witnessed the bombing and they still survived and got sick and went through a lot of pain. i don't think their was anything bigger than the atomic bombing of japan in that century. I wouldn't add anything to the list of top 100 news stories of the century, i would probably change the orders of a few things.

Film Lesson: "Dr. Zhivago"

The film Dr. Zhivago depict the Russian Revolution, because the movie takes place during the Russian revolution and also talks about how Russia became a communist country. The Russian people wanted change because the were getting slaughtered by the king Czar the second, and also the Russian people were dying of hunger, which they didn't like. the film also depict communism
