American Revolution Journal, was it worth it? – William Jia

March 26, 2023 / / 0 Comments

I’ve decided to write a little briefing about the American Revolution before reaching our main topic:

The American Revolution fought between 1775 and 1783, was pivotal in American and world history. It marked the beginning of a new nation, the United States of America, and a new era in the relationship between the colonies and Great Britain. The question of whether the American Revolution was worth it is a complex one, with arguments on both sides.

On the one hand, the American Revolution was a costly and bloody conflict. It resulted in the loss of thousands of lives and caused significant economic damage to both the colonies and Great Britain. The war did not immediately result in a perfect society or government for the newly formed United States.

On the other hand, the American Revolution was a necessary step toward the establishment of a free and independent nation. It allowed the colonies to break free from the British monarchy and establish a government that was more representative and accountable to the people. The principles of liberty, democracy, and individual rights that were championed during the revolution continue to define the United States today.

In conclusion, while the American Revolution was a difficult and costly conflict, it was ultimately worth it. The establishment of a new nation and the principles that it was founded on have had a lasting impact on the world and continue to inspire people around the globe.

The Big Thirst – Summary

January 19, 2023 / / 0 Comments

The Big Thirst is a non-fiction book written by Charles Fishman, this book talks about status reports from scientists, water crises all over the world, and economic issues in countries. It spoke in the third person point of view since it’s a status report, and the author didn’t include his opinion in the book. Instead, he used many sources to address the message of what he wanted to say to the audience.

The main idea I’ve found is water shall not be wasted, but used. Many places throughout Earth, including well-developed countries such as Australia or the United States, have water shortages. Nearly 1/3 of the world’s population doesn’t have access to water or clean water that’s consumable. People in the U.S. spend at least 5 gallons of water to just flush their toilets each day, and the whole population of the United States is just 331 million people, so more than 1.6 billion gallons of water are wasted every day to just flush our toilets. Meanwhile, people from other countries barely have

Looking down, I’ve found some interesting evidence that supports our main idea. UN reports that nearly 3,100 children die every day because of consuming unclean water, they’ve been using water that has not been cleaned or wasted water that has already been used. UN claimed that it’s because of their country’s economy, global status, and several government issues that have been causing uncleaned water.

Ideas of humanism

October 19, 2022 / / 0 Comments

I agree with humanism, it teaches the people how to improve themselves into in after the Middle Ages. It lays the fundamental of each human behavior throughout today; that’s why I agree with humanism so much. It’s not only about history, it’s about helping yourself out.
