Teach a new way!

I think we should teach younger generations a new way. We should train them for what they want to be in the future at a young age. There is just so much more knowledge now-a-days then there was in the past. This would also help to make fewer mistakes when they actually  join the work force. This means if your going to be a mathematician you shouldn't have to learn English in high school because it would take up too much memory. That is why we should teach the younger generation a new way to learn.

Blood rage U.S. is a joke...

I have researched and there are a lot of cases in which the U.S has lied about incidents happened and the government used that to distort the peoples perception. One case that a lot of people don't know about is pearl harbor. The attack in Pearl Harbor wasn't a surprise attack but actually the government did intercept a message coming Japanese' officials. The government used this so that they could get people to want to fight in WW2. This is really sick and twisted because so many people lost their lives. We could have warned our troops and be ready for them. We also then could have countered with much more force.

learning pwns gaming!

Gaming could easily affect the way someone learns. In example the Oregon trail helps people understand the decisions that people would have to do while on the Oregon trail. There are now so many gaming games out there now that is even hard to own them all. There is a whole company that makes just learning games that that is leap frog. They help toddlers learn numbers and letters using there favorite t.v characters. This is even entertaining to me because it lets me interact with cool things while I'm learning. This will also really help people with visual learning remember member.

I want to know the truth!

Countries shouldn't be aloud to be able to keep stuff out of their text books. They know their history was rough and did some horrible things it happened and you cant just pretend it never happened. That would be the equivalent of me robbing a bank and just not telling anyone i did it. If people love their country they are not going to change their mind just because of something that happened in the past. In fact if every country just left out their own history then their would be gapping holes in history and it wouldn't make any sense.

"History is a lie!" "....duh....we know"

History is the commonly agreed upon because history is usually only told from the winners side. In fact a quote from my favorite teacher was "only winners tell stories."(Mr.Meechin) This is true because the losers cant really tell a story if they're dead. Also the winners will always make them selves look good in the story. So even if they did do horrible cruel things, people will not know about it. No one ever wants to make themselves look bad and so people never look at both sides of the story. That is why History if the lie commonly agreed upon.

"Learn your history, sunny!"

History is defiantly important. It is what makes up the whole world because everything has a history. History is important because it repeats itself. We see many examples of this throughout history. One example is the two people that wanted to rule the world. This was Napoleon and Hitler. History is so important that equals the past. The past equals us. So is there s no history then there isn't any of us.

Hollywood vs real life

The Hollywood cowboy wasn't that far off from the real life, hard-working cowboy. To name a few things Hollywood did do right was the clothing that the cowboys wore. All of the cowboy’s cloths had a purpose for wearing them. The cowboys’ undershirt was usually cotton for comfortability. The shirt didn't have pockets so they usually wore vests so that they could hold small items in pockets. They had hats and jackets to protect them from the rough elements of the country life. High leather boots protected the cowboys’ feet and ankles from the brush. The cowboys’ boots were also pointed so that they could easily fit their feet into stirrups of an animal. The high arch and big heel of the boot also made it harder for the cowboys’ foot to slip out.

One cowboy that was really good at documenting all of this was Erwin E. Smith. He took a lot of pictures of the cowboys’ life. He lived the cowboy life and loved sharing it with everyone.

Another thing Hollywood did correctly was the cowboy's equipment. Ranching started in Spain so most of the equipment such a saddles, bridles, ropes, and bedrolls had a lot of characteristics of the Spaniards. The cowboys most valuable equipment was his trusty steed; the horse. Ever Since the 1500s people have been herding animals from one place to another they have had a horse. These horses came from Mexico because the Spanish brought them over. The sad fact is that most of the horses did escape. These horses were named "mustangs" a word that comes from the Spanish word mestaños which means "wild horse". The cowboys used horses because they could sprint at very high speeds for over 1/4 of a mile. There strong hind legs and broad shoulder also made is easy for them to carry a high enough of stuff. 

At the ranches there were plenty of jobs to do. There usually was one ranch boss a couple of wranglers and a cook. At the top of the chain were the ranch bosses. He told everyone what the hell to do. Wranglers would be the people that would herd the animals to specific locations. They would also have to "rope" any animal that would try to get away. This means they would make a lasso and through it over the animals neck. Then with a pull would make the animal topple over. After that they would lead the animal over to the rest of the heard. In addition to that, if they wanted that specific animal for dinner they would bring it over to the house and butcher it. This usually wasn't that clean. The ranch boss usually took the good meat to do whatever he wanted to do with it and gave the wrangles the bad meat to eat off.

Just like how there is seasonal work in agriculture; there is seasonal work in ranching. There are four cycles just like how there are four cycles in agriculture. These cycles are back-breaking and are called the spring roundup, the trail drive, the fall roundup, and winter work. 

Now it seems that a cowboy only did hard work but that isn't true. At the end of the day the cowboy was tired and hungry but for fun they usually played card games, sung, dance, and had a good time. The cowboys must fun tie was at night at the campfire. This is where the cowboys told stories to one another. These stories were usually about adventure and romance.

In conclusion Hollywood did tell a good amount about a cowboys life but they missed a lot of the life at the ranch.

NEW LAND YES! oh crap....

The immigrants coming to America at the turn of the century must have been going through a swarm of emotions. They were hearing great tales of new land that had streets paved with gold! This though was also the biggest con. When entering America the immigrants came to Ellis island which is one of the nicest places in the north. So when people arrived they experienced a  feeling of "wow this is really nice!",but when they got off the island you could go to New York or to New Jersey which are both dirty places. A lot of immigrants were also rejected because America had a quota of how many people they could actually take in. When they found this out they must have been either crying or trying to fight there way into the new country. This is disturbing, but in truth life cant be a basket full of roses.

Would you rather work or have a soul?

The work for textile workers must have been intense. From the lyrics of "the song of the shirt" you can tell that the workers work to the bone and can either work full time or not work at all because someone can easily replace them. Even the adults never had a definite job because there were kids who could work back then. They were even better then adults because they were able to crawl through small holes to fix the machines. The children also didn't have to be payed as much as the adults. On top of these grueling conditions there were no labor laws and they could have been forced to work 12+hrs a week. This work is ridiculous and unacceptable.
