the republic of cyprus is a unitary presidential representative republic. this is where an elected official is chosen to be the president as well as the head of state government. The country is split into two parts and has been that way since 1974. the northern part is owned by turkey and the southern part is the independent republic of cyprus. there were some conflicts within the country but currently cyprus is stagnant, it has also become a very popular tourist attraction. the president is Nicos Anastasiades and is saving his country from their previous debt crisis. He is also has hope to unite the two sides of the island. There was an arranged meeting in 2015 with a talk about the island but they ended two years after and the country is still divided. although the suffered an economic crisis Cyprus is one of the fastest growing economically and are reaching stability quickly. As far as voting goes none of the greek resedents are able to vote for who they want for president

Thoughts on Engagement

After doing the research for my challenge project on kill and no kill animal shelters, I have decided that I want to find a way to educate people on the internet without stating any form of opinion in order to be informative without being offensive. What I want to do is make a website that will have information both good and bad on kill and no kill animal shelters in an effort to educate the public on the matter. many people will for blind opinions on specifically kill shelters as they don't do the research and end up attacking people without any information on the matter. This is something that people need to know about because it is important that people who are thinking about adopting an animal know what they are getting in to before they do so impulsively.

Cultural Anthropology

Gabriel Han Sep 16 IHSS Cultural Anthropology Blog I read an article about the Dead Sea Scrolls, and a study around them conducted by MIT.

The scrolls were hidden in jars on hillsides north of the Dead Sea, often under debris. The reason the Temple scroll was chosen was because it is the largest and most well preserved of the scrolls, despite the fact that the material is incredibly thin, at only 1/250 of an inch thick. The study was to investigate how the parchment was made, and what it was made of. Results showed it was processed in a strange way, and made of odd ingredients like evaporates that differed from the normal ones. This raises questions such as how did they make it, or come up with the idea for it? Scientists believe that understanding this parchment could provide insights into the cultur...

Further Investigation of Immigration

Andreas Cantu Mr. Roddy IHSS 12 April 2020 Chinese Immigration  Between the years 1845 and 1855 the US saw a massive influx of chinese immigrants. This was due to the gold rush in California. Chinese immigrants would leave the friends and family in search of a better life with more opportunities in America, and gold rush gave them their best shot at making it big in America. Although they had hopes to join the gold mining most of them took jobs with coal mining companies for little to no commision. This was huge problem for the immigrants, because it made life in America very difficult. As time went on they had begun opening up small business wherever they could, this helped them integrate their culture into the American culture and help them feel more at home. The American Robber Barons saw Chinese immigrants as noting but cheap labor. In 1863 The transcontinental railroad began its six year long construction, stretching from Sacramento California to Omaha, as more Chinese...
