Exam #5

Stalin and Mao were comparible in way in how they came into power.Even though stalin didn't diserve his power Mao earned all of his power. They thought that it is the way that they acted. Stalin didnt do anything. So that is what makes them comparible.
Mao and Hitler were nothing alike hitler was much different then Mao was. Hitler just signed a paper to get his power. Mao actually deserved his power. Hitler was cruel to almost all. He was also mean to jews and liked people with blonde hair and blue eyes. So that is what makes them different.
Anytime they try to do a dictator it attends to fail. Only because to much power is not good for anyone. If anyone now got that power they would fail because they would make the world worse. I know that if i got it my voice would be heard and it would change. Thats why no one with should get that much power.

Exam 2.



The Colombian Exchange transformed the world in a more radical (favoring drastic political, economic, or social reforms: radical ideas; radical and anarchistic ideologues)way than any other development in world history. One significant effect of this process(a continuous action, operation, or series of changes taking place in a definite manner: the process of decay) was the establishment of the Triangle Trade. While many factors were a part of the Triangle Trade, the rapid growth in both supply and demand for new commodities was the largest motivating element. This time period may be best associated (to unite; combine: coal associated with shale)with economic developments, but it is impossible to analyze (to examine carefully and in detail so as to identify causes, key factors, possible results, etc) this period without considering the intense social impact that the Triangle Trade had on those involved. In truth, a full understanding can only be gained by appreciating (to be grateful or thankful for: They appreciated his thoughtfulness) how economic and social factors (Mathematics One of two or more quantities that divides a given quantity without a remainder. For example, 2 and 3 are factors of 6) impact each other in history.

Taking Liberty

By: Ann Rinaldi

The book Taking Liberty by Ann Rinaldi is about an eight year old girl named Oney Judge whose life long dream was to work for Lady Washington. The theme would be “If you want something bad enough go for it”. She lived out near the Washington's with her mama, her aunt Myrtilla and Charlotte, there are also more slaves that live in that small house to. She also liked trying to help out in the kitchen with the cook. She also liked to try to read when she got a chance because black kids weren't allowed to go to school with the white kids. She went to school with the poor white kids and the black kids that could afford it. Oney was one of the children that were able to go to Mrs. Washington’s and she read them a piece out of the bible.

Every Sunday morning her mama was able to go up to a small town and have a little store it was a place where slaves were able to go to. Her mama made aprons out of scraps and made her own brooms to sell. This time when they got there though there was a dress another women had that Oney's mother wanted so she took brooms and got the dress but what she didn't know is that the dress was already stolen then when soldiers found out they came to give her mama a licking. After a while her mother just stopped talking to her it was about a year maybe two. Anytime Oney went to talk to her mother her mother just started slapping her.

A couple days after that happened some British men came over while Mr. Washington and Mrs. Washington were away and asked any slave that if they want to be free then they should go over to America with them. Only six or seven people went including Oneys mother. After that happened Oney was really upset until Mrs. Washington told her that she needed a new maid because her maid was going to die because she was about seventy eight years old. She went everywhere with Lady Washington she was her special girl. After awhile they had news that some of the slaves that ran off with the British got the pox and were hiding in the woods. The British were looking for them because they wanted to shoot them so they wouldn't spread the pox. Oney was really upset because she was scared that her mother was one of them. So a couple of months have passed and

Oney thought that every thing was going ok until someone said that one of the people that have the pox was her mother, and that Mr. Washington was sending for all the slaves that he could get back like Oney's mother. Once her mother was back Oney had to go and see her but if Mrs. Washington found out she went over there she would not let Oney go with her any more. When she went to see her mother she was still mad at Oney for what she did. Her mother didn’t want her to look at her because she was not as pretty any more because of the pox. They were all over her face, arms and legs. Oney said that she was sorry but all what her mother had to say was to get out. After awhile she became a nice young lady because of Mrs. Washington. Then Oney was happy and a lady who worked for Lady Washington for a long time.

Child Slavery in Asia

Child Slavery in Asia is mostly from kidnappings. They received no pay and constant beatings. An agent arrives at the village with care for the parents. He brings two new dresses for the mother and a cow for the father that was usually sick and died in a couple of months. It was all a scam to get the children to work for labor. The children had to live in a den or a small shed. Most of the kids were beaten with sticks and iron rods. They were not allowed to see there parents. The kids that they usually had were (branded red hot irons, burnt with cigarettes, starved, whipped, beaten while hanging upside down, chained up, abused in an intimate way, and kept locked in cupboards for days on end.) According to anti-slaverysociety.addr.com there is a child named Shankar with his experience,
This picture here came from http://www.qfund4aids.org/images/Child-Reaching.jpg.



“We were poked with burning cigarettes on the back and legs. If we cried
for
our mothers we were locked in a room without air or enough light. We
were
forced to work for 20 hours a day without pay. We were kept half fed
and
beaten up severely by our masters if we were found talking or laughing among
ourselves. One night I jumped into the nearby River Ganges to kill myself
to escape from this painful life. We were never allowed to go back to our
parents, to our villages.”

Allot of the sweat shops have widows and doors barred up so they wouldn't escape. When the parent does not hear anything from there child, that parent might go and see what is going on at the agency but what they find out is it does not exist. If the parent does find them the master will tell them “I paid for his food and medicine” and they can't leave and they were sent on there way. One child was beaten cause he scratched his skin, he was also beat cause his father came to get him to take him home. He has not had a single day off or got any wages.








Ashok, 8 years old worked a twenty one hour day from three a.m to midnight in a
carpet factory in India.

“I was not allowed to meet my parents for the 7 years
that I worked, though
I would often ask for permission. The only response
was more beatings”.

These children are the face of the slavery today.



How many hours will they work today?

This picture came from http://www.anti-slaverysociety.addr.com/quarry01-sm.jpg

In Asia there are one million children in slavery that you rearely hear american press talk about. Child slavery

All of this information came from http://www.anti-slaverysociety.addr.com/quarry01-sm.jpg

Basically what they were trying to tell us is that child slavery is horrible. Lots of parents lose there kids and were never allowed to see them again. Some parents didnt even know if there child was treated well or if they were alive or dead. Then there was those other parents who just lost hope in ever seing there child again. Child Slavery. My own thoughts.
