Where To Invade Next Summary

The book opens on Oct. 26, 1775 with King George III making a procession in his grand coach/horse drawn carriage, pulled by eight massive majestic horses. The entire coach itself was a symbol of England’s many colonies and extreme wealth. The king’s attire wasn’t usually very grand. He preferred the life of a farmer at Windsor and the company of his wife to court duties. The “madness” for which he was long remembered was really porphyria, an inherited disease. Though not a militaristic man, he had no doubt that the misbehaving colonies must be made compliant. The war under Howe and Washington officially began in Lexington and Concord and then Bunker Hill, and it made him uneasy. He

I believe that every place around this world have the same purpose of education is to provide an opportunity that helps everyone understands and earn more knowledge because knowledge is an inexhaustible treasure. The person who goes along with students is a teacher. The role of teacher is teaching and passing the valuable knowledge on to students, and the teacher really hope the students will keep the knowledge journal because knowledge is that really need for students to succeed in school and in life. However, because I was born in Vietnam and I immigrated to the United States when I was stepping in high school year, therefore, I believe there are many different from the teaching skill/style and methods, cultural education and environment of school in different countries based on my experience through American education and Vietnamese education.

“US Invasion” Americans believed in something called “Manifest Destiny”. This meant that they believed that they should have California so they could overspread the continent. In 1821, Mexico gained Independence from Spain. Mexico was huge, stretching from Guatemala to Oregon and was equal to the size of the United states. The Mexican Government was aware of the emptiness of the northern lands of Mexico so they welcomed settlers from the United States, which led to a revolt and Texas gaining independence.

First he shows us a working class Italian couple and how they go on multiple vacations a year because everyone in Italy gets 8 weeks paid vacation. He then talks to the Italian couple about their daily life and how they get paid for 13 months of work in a 12 month year, and how women get paid maternity leave. Even with all of these vacations and time off Italy is only ranked slightly below the U.S. in productivity, that's because when you are well rested and relaxed you produce much higher quality stuff and get more done then if you where tired and overworked. This looks amazing! Like there could be no downside to this argument, we should just pick it up immediately and bring this to America.

Education is an important part of almost every person 's life around the world and without it, we would struggle to develop as we mature into adults. America is currently the third most populated country around the world. With such a big population, it can be assumed that everyone undergoes a great education and graduates with a brain full of the greatest knowledge that everyone needs to know. While it can be true in some cases, other countries appear to be doing a much better job with educating students in recent years. In Ripley book, The Smartest Kids in the World, she claims that the education system in Poland has “dramatically improved its results in just a few years" despite saying that Poland has "a thousand good reasons for why it should fail" (Ripley 127). The major question is how did it improve in such little time unlike American education which still has problems? It 's a shaky claim due to Poland 's potential flaws but it reminds me that their education has vastly improved over American education in a short period of time due to the heavy focus on specific subjects, the lack of distraction for students, and the fact that other countries have succeeded with similar education systems.

The educational system differs throughout the world; its viewed and taught differently because of cultural differences. Many cultures view education as a necessity of life therefore family are strict and get more involved in there child’s education.

The American education system contains many differences and similarities to the foreign system of education; however, students in the American system are not as successful as those in foreign countries like Japan.

Chapter 1, Sexual Violence as a Tool of Genocide, discusses the history of and gives us an introduction to genocide. The author talks about the treatment of bodies, in particular Native bodies, and how colonial thought and theory regards Native people as inherently “rapable” and “violable,” a colonial conviction that stretches past the physical bodies of Natives, to Native independence and lands as well. She explains that patriarchy is the foundation by which power is established over Native women's bodies because hierarchal, patriarchal authority and control systems of society are seldom found within native societies. Europeans, on the other hand, have long depended on these methods to suppress and infuse fear into their people.

Education should promote friendship, understanding and tolerance among all nations, religious or racial groups, and the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace. It should be intended for the improvement of the human personality. It should be directed to the strengthening of respect for human rights and freedoms.

Education is a very important aspect of the lives of all people all over the world. What we learn, not just in the classroom, shapes who we are. We take our education everywhere we go. We use it when talking to our buddies about sports or music, we use it while solving a math problem, we use our education while debating with our family whether or not we should watch TV or go to the movies. Our education is the foundation of who we are, since every decision we make and every thought we think is dependent on what we know. Imagine how different the world would be if everyone craved learning to such a degree that at lunch tables all over the world the topic of conversation isn't who likes who, or how drunk
