Compare industrialization in China today to the description of a Carnegie factory of the past

In China today workers work over 60 hours a week. Some have 24 hour shifts. Working conditions over there are terrible. These people work for less and live horribly. They have 20 people sharing 3 tiny apartment complex rooms. These workers are barely fed. How can you just be fed a biscuit and tea?

Andrew Carnegie's steel mills were basically the same. This man worked his employees to death and hardly ever paid them. Some one was always at there death in those mills. Safety was a big issue. There "protective gear" consisted only of two layers of wool long johns. Definitely not enough protection if you are working around high flames, breaking chains, and tired as ever.

These workers work to create something so efficient, but receive less than what they should. But I guess some people have to go through hard times to set themselves at a successful position in their lives.

Cultural Influence!

Culture has had a major influence on me since I drew breath. All my life I've been surrounded my heavy metal music and that has made me do things I never thought I'd be doing. Things such as playing guitar, piano, writing poetry, and being very intellectual. I am open to all other cultures and am very accepting of other people and their lifestyles. My culture influences me to be generous when I can. I guess it's a moral thing.

If I grew up in a different culture I do not know exactly who I'd be today. Maybe I'd be the complete opposite of me; hype, talkative, lazy, disrespectful, etc. Things I think I'd be had I grown up with my father. Not a pretty picture if you can imagine it. Maybe I wouldn't be as dedicated as I am now to school and other priorities. I don't always know why, but I believe I'd be a negative person had I grown up in a different culture.

Primary source in history

The purpose for Primary sources in history is to give us first hand insights on the past. They are important tools for historians to develop an understanding of an event. By that, it helps us support those understandings with evidence as we answer questions about the past. Not only that, but arguments of the past as well.

The world of primary documents has evolved throughout the course of time itself. In the last two decades these documents have changes from newspapers/ magazines and radio to television and more electronic devices. Such as websites, blogs, social networks and social news.

Since technology is growing stronger by the day, we can all say this will have a major impact on the world. How? Well, we'll start to use our old resources less and begin to use podcasts and vodcasts more and more. This will make it easier for us to get information right there on the spot.

The rain

Okay, so the rain is affecting my mood today and i feel like reading, and painting. The rain is giving me ideas to paint seas flooding our streets and us striving for the sun and warmth.

The First Amendment

I believe that the first Amendment is the most important of the bill of rights. It protects the civil liberties of individuals in the United States. For example the Amendment states that congress shall make no law abridging freedom of speech, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble. This is what really makes America what it is. Without it, who would we be? How would we live life?

Would we fall or be punished because we could not have our opinion? Because we do not have the right to rebel?

This right enables us to have these things. Although there are certain limitations, such as abruptly ensuring violence, or threats. I just can not begin to explain how this country would suck if we the people did not have such rights. I'm pretty sure that most of the population would have charges against them. I'm sure that I would be charged as well.
