Lingering Question

Did Stanley have suppressed homosexual tendencies caused by multiple female rejections that he vented on Africans in the congo?

Some questions were not open enough or to narrow. everyone worked well together and we all expressed our ideas. we can improve by moving through questions more fluidly.

Do you think the original interaction between the Portuguese and the people of the Kango was a positive one?

Do you think the book has a bias?

Evangelical Christian group in Florida Plans to Burn Korans.

VOA news september 7. A reverend, terry jones, Is leading a Koran burning demostration on sep 11. He says that he is promoting religous tolerance and he is able t do this becuase of our first amendment. General patreaus announced on the news yesterday for mr. jones to not do this brash and hateful action becuase he will but american soliders lives at risk. This is an important story becuase it is relevant to current events. and this is another developemnt in the amercian islamophobia crisis. The reverend is obviously narrowminded and off his rocker. He is going to insult and defame a entire population of people, when the people that he hates are only 2% of that population. He is also providing propaganda for the insurgents to use against America.

Class summary

I learned that Canada is a country, not a French colony. I learned that colonialism and imperialism is not the same thing. That imperialism is not always direct control of a country. I learned about the Berlin Conferance. But i still have questions about why America still has colonies and what resources did we want to get out of the Philippines. I want to learn more about the romans and how friggan smart they were even though they existed thousands of years ago. They are my favorite empire of all. Sorry America
