What purpose do primary documents serve in history? How has the world of primary documents changed in the past two decades? What impact will this have on the "telling" of history?

Primary documents are like records of historical events. They serve as answers about history that we can't find out any other way. Primary documents can help us understand things from hisory better. Primary documents give us a lot of information. If we didn't have primary documents we wouldn't know much about history, therefore primary documents are a big part of history today. In the past two decades we have found better, more efficent ways to document historical events and make primary sources. We have technology and intelligence. We have the internet where there are primary documents all over. We have video's that record historical events. We now have many ways to record historical events. This will impact the "telling" of history in a good way. People of the future will have better ways to find historical documents and have more efficent primary documents. It will be simpler to find primary documents through technology.

The less fortunate, the poor.

The poor really inspire me. They inspire me to always be greatful for what I have, to not always complain because i've got it way better then they do, to focus on what I do have and not on what I don't have. They also inspire me to one day make a good amount of money so that I can give to the less fortunate. The poor inspire me to stay in school, go to college and find a good job so I won't be one of the less fortunate when I grow up because I know I can become poor too. I want to be able to give to the poor because it isn't always their fault that they became poor. I think the poor should be a inspiration to others too. It should inspire people to want to be successful, inspire them to focus on the good in their life and to want to give to the poor, the less fortunate.

What does it mean to be American?

Being an American means being free, able to speak your mind and being treated equally no matter what race you are.

Having opportunity, religious freedom and having the chance to reach your goal without government interference. You can be anyone to be an American, you even have the choice to be an American or not. Being an American simply means being free.

Discuss how culture influences your lives: How has culture made you the people that you are today? How different would you be had you grown up in a different culture?

Culture influences almost every aspect of our lives. The way we dress, the foods' we eat, the music we listen too and many other things. My culture shaped me into the person I am today. My Spanish culture made me into a strong willed, independent young woman. My culture influenced everything I do today, from what I eat to the way I dress. I believe I would be a very different person. I wouldn't be the same Alissa. I'd be influenced by different people who may believe in different things, such as religion. I'd eat different foods', I'd probably dress a different way and I may have a different attitude towards thing. I'd be like a whole different person.

My inspirtaion, my sister.

My sister inspires me, a lot. She inspires me always stay strong, don't give up, she inspires me to belive in myself. She probably doesn't know this but she does. Why does she inspire me? She inspires me because she's always stood strong, she never gave up and she believes in herself. She is such a strong woman even though she has had a rough time. She has gotten pregnant at a very young age, had to grow up fast and support herself and her kids when she was still a kid herself. I watched her go through all of this. I seen her break down sometimes but she always got back up and stood strong. She at times wanted to give up but she never did. She sometimes felt like she couldn't do anything right but in the end believing in herself is what got her through everything. She is such an inspiration. She inspires me to be the best woman I can be. She is not only my inspiration but someone I look up too. I just hope to be as strong as she is.
