  Immigration to the United States
 People from all over the world began fleeing their countries to come to the U.S in the late 1800s because of the economic chances that were available, some came to be free as well. The immigrants entered through different ports depending on where they were coming from, one of the popular entrances was in New York, called “the golden door.” After settling the immigrants must find jobs to sustain themselves, but because the immigrants looked different there was a lot of “tension” which effected their wages. The women were paid less than the men and the men were paid less than the average worker because they were immigrants. The immigrants changed the culture when they arrived to america, which showed that having a diverse group of people can bring a positive cultural change. 
The story of Mrs. Lucinda Permien Holze starts when her father emigrated from Germany and went to Texas. Mrs. Lucinda went with her husband and his family to Germany and opened a shop, sadly after building up their shop and making money two theives came in one day and threatened Mrs. Lucinda and her husband with a gun and stole all of their money, they never were able to get their money back. 
In the Boston Herald, they spoke about the Chinese vs. negroes. Chinese were seen as the smart immigrants who came to make new discoveries and take our money whereas the negroes were seen as the slaves who immigrated to come work for us. The negroes were allowed to get citizenship in the discussion of “can the Chinese get a citizenship” was up in the air as well. The negroes came open-minded, they followed the American flag and no matter how you treated them they followed their religious beliefs. 
The French Canadians migrated to the states to be textile mill workers to make money so they could sustain their families. They didn't want to become citizens for many reasons, one being that they already paid taxes back at their Canadian farms and they did not want to pay taxes twice. The families from Quebec sold all of their belongings to afford their train tickets so they could come to the states with no savings and start over, and make more money.

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 Dead Sea Scrolls are a series of ancient Hebrew texts that were discovered in 1947. The study was focused on one scroll known as the Temple scroll, out of the 900 or so scrolls. 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...

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. I will also include information on why sterilizing animals is so important to the issue of strays and why people should consider sterilizing their household pets as well as it only puts their animal in danger and makes them w...
