Journal Entry 2 Part 3

  You must be wondering why I uploaded two photos of a clothes line and a washing machine in my blog post. The reason I uploaded these photos is because I'm comparing the two things since there the same thing. The clothes line was created in 1830's and it sole purpose was to dry clothes but it takes like a week for the clothes to dry. The second photo show a washing machine, it was created in the 1850's and was known to change clothes washing forever. Basically, I just explain the evolution of the washing machine because it started out as a simple clothes line use to dry clothes but now we have the advance washing machine and dryer which cleans and dry clothes fast. This is another thing I thought about when I think about human progress because it's another item that we use for a living and back in the past, people used the clothes line while they manually wash the clothes. You could say that clothes is another connection and disruption between the past and present. I s...

  For today, I will be explaining the two most significant difference between the past and the present. My opinion is that when I think about the past and present, I thought about horses to cars because back then people have to ride in horses as a mean for transportation until Henry Ford came up with the idea about building an automobile that makes transportation a lot easier. "Progress", when you here that word, what do you think about when it comes progress. The word has many definitions but the one common definition for the word is that it's the process of moving forward and advancing to your destination and humans are doing, we progress further to our future. The picture above shows the sticky notes of the Past, Present and Future in order while the word "Progress" represents the those three words. the reason I pick this picture for my journal entry because it basically shows the evolution of how we were able to grow and flourish. For Example, babies become ...

Journal Entry 2

  Many people ask themselves "how did we do it", as you know back then, they were many great people who had big ideas on how people should live their lives and because of those ideas, many peoples lives have changed for the better. The picture above shows a factory that was build by the people as a mean to create something bigger. In Unit 3, I learned a similar concept regarding industrialization, it's a change in circumstances accompanying a society's movement of population and resources from farm production to manufacturing production. In simpler terms, it's the increasing application of human knowledge of production. When I think about the word "Industrialization" I thought of one of the philosophies of history, Progressive and Postmodern View from Unit 1 because both of these philosophies question human progress.  Progressive View  is a central idea was that human history illustrates neither cycles nor divine intervention but continual progress while...

                                                             It safe to say that it's possible to connects the song "Somewhere I Belong" to the Black Lives Matter event because every African Americans want to be welcomed in the US and feel that they belong in the country. The Black Livers Matter isn't just about racial justice, it's about the desire for everybody to feel safe. In Unit 2, I recently learned that there's 2 types of Reconstruction, Presidential and Congressional, they each affect the Confederates and African Americans respectively in a different way and they are opposite of each other. The point is there is a time where the US government is there to help the black people and sometimes the government stands against us by blaming the black people for everything that has happened. Every time I look at those t...

         Hello it's me again and today I will tell you about my second item of my choice for my first journal entry. The picture above is my second item I chose, its a family portrait of my family. The picture was taken on July 14, 2019, the day before my mother's birthday and the family photo was actually a birthday gift for my mother. The picture was taken in a mall after we went to church, we taken more than 3 photos because my mother want more memories to cherish. Every time I look at this picture, it reminds me to cherish my family because you wouldn't know what would happen to them and family is important. So the picture is part of my personal history because it has my people that I love and live with my whole life. This talk of family had me realized something, In the military soldiers interacts and bond with other soldiers and later they consider themselves family. Each soldier treats the other like their family because they are the military together and...

                                                            Personal History and the Perceptions of Others Hi everybody my name is Prosper Apaloo and I'm a sophomore here at KSU and today I'm doing my first blog. For today, I will be comparing two items of mine to history and why they relate because I believe that there's a connection between myself and historical events so for today, I'll be your historian. The picture above is my first object, the song "Somewhere I Belong" by Linkin Park. The song is monumental to me because it got me through some hard times and it boost my confident sometimes, I mean the first 35 seconds of the song got you so hyped that it makes you want to run. This song has been with my throughout 2017 because that was the year I had to move to another county for another school...
