Stolen Generation

Checkpoints:

1. The first Aborigines settlers where from the Asian mainland an the islands north of the Australian continent.

2. The Aborigines was halved because of diseases, smallpox was one of them. The whites wanted the best areas to cultivate and start their lives, so the moved the native population to other places.

3. It is estimated that more than 100, 000 children were taken away from their parents.


Research and Discover(One):

1. The Māori originated with settlers from eastern Polynesia, who arrived in New Zealand in several waves of canoe voyages at some time between 1250 and 1300. To many Maori people today, the most significant issue in New Zealand remains that of land.

2.
Aborigines:
Since the European invasion of Australia in 1788, the Aboriginal people have been oppressed into a world unnatural to their existence for thousands of years. First came the influx of the strangers who carried with them diseases, which decimated the immediate population of the Sydney tribes. It is estimated that over 750,000 Aboriginal people inhabited the island continent in 1788. The colonists were led to believe that the land was terra nullius, which Lt James Cook declared Australia to be in 1770 during his voyage around the coast of Australia.

Maori:
The ancestors of the Māori were a Polynesian people originating from south-east Asia. Some historians trace the early Polynesian settlers of New Zealand as migrating from today's China, making the long voyage traveling via Taiwan, through the South Pacific and on to Aotearoa (New Zealand).
The anthropologist Thor Heyerdahl, on the other hand, claims that the Polynesians arrived in the Pacific from America, rather than from the East, as other scholars claim. Heyerdahl bases his theory on the fact that the kumara, staple cultivated food crop of the pre-European New Zealand Māori, originates from central South America. Around thirty thousand years ago, Polynesian forbears inhabited the Bismarck Archipelago, to the east of New Guinea. These people had a Lapita culture, of which earthenware pots, distinctive and highly colored, were a characteristic. This particular pottery was given the name of Lapita Ware, after an archaeological site in New Caledonia.

3. Because they have been to different islands and cam in different decades, so they have been built up in different ways. Then the experiences follow up to be different when they live on different islands and have different cultures.

The Imitation Game

Alan Turing was a man with many qualities, but he as any others had his weaknesses. He was a smart fella with outstanding math knowledge. But his weakness was to know how to act when he was with other people and how to act socially. Love was not his strongest side either. He also was a homosexual, but pretended to be straight.
His mathematical skills was amazing, he was the one solving The Enigma code. In the start his team was not happy with him on the team, because he was acting weird among people and preferred to work alone.

Events in American History

1. Because many of the colonists felt like they were Americans. It started to be conflicts around these colonies, so for avoiding problems it was a good reason.

2. Today the infrastructure is so good so we don't need to colonize other countries. Now days we can talk with each other very easily. Back in time it was harder to travel across countries and talk to each other so colonies back in the time was very good to have. Today it isn't necessarily to have colonies in my opinion.

3. The Americans feel this is important for safety, but i think it's very dumb. Because of this it is massacres and much crime. It is only the feeling of being safe you get. How many people would fire shots with the gun they got?

4. List of historical events: The Viking Period: was from between 800-1100 AD, At the start of the Viking Period, Norway was not one united country, but many small kingdoms. Harald Fairhair (Harald Hårfagre) became king of a large portion of Norway in 872. The union between Denmark and Norway: During the 1300s Denmark gained more and more influence over Norway and, in 1397, Norway was absorbed into a formal union with Denmark and Sweden. The union was ruled by a common king. Sweden gradually seceded from the union, but Denmark and Norway remained united until 1814. The union was governed from Denmark. Copenhagen was the cultural centre of the union and Norwegians read and wrote in Danish.The plague: The black death came to Norway in 1349, in short time it had killed a third of the norwegian population. The Norweigan constitution: The Norwegian constitution was formed in 1814, and thus we broke free of the danish grasp. WW2: The natzi's invaded us in 9th of April 1940, and by that, Norway was drawn into the war.

The American Dream

Large-scale Mexican migration to the United States began in the early 20th century, motivated by labor demands in the United States and political unrest in Mexico. Throughout the 20th century, major reforms to the U.S. immigration system played a role in shaping the size and character of Mexican immigration flows. Since 1980, Mexicans have been the largest immigrant group in the United States. As of 2013, approximately 11.6 million Mexican immigrants resided in the United States—up from 2.2 million in 1980—and Mexicans accounted for 28 percent of the country’s 41.3 million foreign born.


Immigration from Mexico to the United States has gone through four main periods. The first wave, occurring prior to World War II, consisted of agricultural workers recruited by private labor contractors, with the number of Mexican immigrants rising from 105,200 in 1900 to 624,400 in 1930. The Bracero program, from 1942 to 1964, ushered in the second wave, also consisting mostly of agricultural guest workers. The third, largely unauthorized wave began after the Bracero program was terminated and after 1965 changes to U.S. immigration law ended national-origin quotas and imposed the first numerical limits on Mexico and other Latin American countries. The majority of Mexican immigrants in this third wave were male, seasonal farm laborers who regularly traveled back and forth across the border. The passage of the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) and subsequent investments in border security were a turning point, initiating the fourth wave of Mexican migration. IRCA legalized close to 3 million unauthorized migrants, including 2.3 million Mexicans, in return for tougher border enforcement and penalties for American employers who hired unauthorized workers. As crossing the border became more difficult, and as economic changes in the United States opened additional jobs to low-skilled foreign workers, immigrants began to settle permanently, bringing their families to live in the United States. Between 1990 and 2010 more than 7.5 million Mexican immigrants—many of whom were unauthorized—arrived.
More recently, Mexican immigration to the United States has begun to decline—marking at least a pause, and possibly an end to the fourth wave. Declining inflows appear to reflect the impact of the Great Recession, improved educational and economic opportunities in Mexico, and ever-tougher border enforcement.
