Assel Abdrakhman Hello Everyone! My name is Assel! I am a first-year Master's student of English Studies at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (SWPS) in Warsaw, Poland. I was born in a small town on the north of Kazakhstan named Kokshetau. Since my early childhood, I was crazy about travelling. As soon as my parents had some free time, we packed our bags, filled the car with gasoline and went to travel around the country. Therefore, while living in Kazakhstan I visited various Kazakh cities. Nevertheless, I have always dreamed to travel around Europe and visit its wonderful, historical and breathtaking cities. Luckily, today I have this great chance, since I am living in one of the biggest European cities. For the last six months, I took full advantage of my time here. I visited …show more content…
Hotels, museums, excursions and meals will cost you a lot of money here, especially if you are a student just like me. By this reason, I had to come up with a cunning plan that organizes my trip with minimal costs. Eventually, I was able to save as much money as possible! In what way? I will tell you now! Museums and Exhibitions: • If you are trying to save some money and have no desire to pay for entrance to the famous national museum "Rijksmuseum" , which is often called "Dutch Louvre", then you should visit its free "trial version", the gallery Schuttersgalerij (Civic Guards Gallery), which is located at the entrance to the Museum of History of Amsterdam. The exhibit is small, but impresses with its artistic splendor and, of course, the lack of entry fee! • In many museums in the world the entrance with the food is strictly forbidden, but not in the Amsterdam Museum of Cheese! Here you can find a small amusing national exhibition and try on some Dutch clothes. Additionally, you can have a light lunch, since the museum combines the functions of a cheese store, and it is impossible not to taste at least some of
The second section talks about account since World War II opposes speculation: It is to a great degree different and multifaceted. It has been vitalized by universal streams, for example, European existentialism and Latin American mysterious authenticity, while the electronic period has brought the worldwide town. The talked word on TV has given new life to oral custom. Oral types, media, and pop culture have progressively affected story.
For this assignment, I went to the Noyes Art Garage. The Noyes Arts Garage was in the heart of Atlantic city, right off the Atlantic city expressway exit. The museum only consists of one building, with the parking garaging sharing half of the building. I find the location of Noyes Art Garage very appropriate. The surrounding area is densely populated.
Just seeing it whet my appetite for the museum itself. The Museum 's Wyeth
Eight hundred years ago during the 13th century a small central Asian tribe known as the Mongols conquered much of the known world. Mongols were nomadic people known for being barbaric and harsh when expanding their empire. Even though the Mongols were obviously brutes, their expansion of territory, military tactics, and facilitation of commerce proved they were more helpful than harmful. Genghis Khan was the founder of the Mongols and started the conquest of the Mongol Empire. He reigned from 1162-1227 eventually dying and leaving his legacy to his son.
Both the Mongol Empire and the Soviet Union were empires that covered vast territories and brought diverse populations under their rule. However, in terms of secularism and multiculturalism, the Soviet Union can be considered to be more secular and multicultural compared to the Mongol Empire. The Mongol Empire was founded by Genghis Khan in the 13th century and covered a large portion of Asia, including China, Central Asia, and parts of Eastern Europe. The Mongols practiced a form of shamanism, which was the predominant religion in their homeland, but they also adopted elements of other religions, such as Islam and Buddhism, as they conquered new territories.
The Mongols were people who emerged from the vasts of Central Asia in the 13th century. Led by Genghis Khan, they rapidly conquered a vast empire that stretched from China to Eastern Europe. While the Mongols are often depicted as brutal conquerors, the documents provided offer a better view of their impact on the world. These documents include accounts of Mongol diplomacy, trade, and cultural exchange, as well as descriptions of their military campaigns. By examining these documents, we can gain a better understanding of the legacy of the Mongols and the ways in which they shaped the world we live in today.
The Mongol Empire was the largest contiguous empire in history occupying 12 million square miles of land in Central Asia (Lewis, p. 1, 2002). When looking at a map of the Mongol Empire it is clear that it grew rapidly as it initially occupied its existing neighbors in 1207 and then went on to conquer the neighboring nations, taking control of the rest of central Asia by 1227 (Document C). It was created and controlled by Temüjin, who adopted the title Ghenghis Khan, meaning universal leader, from 1206 up until his death in 1227 (Lewis, p. 1, 2002). To many people Genghis Khan was considered a genius for his military strategy which partially led to his overwhelmingly successful conquest, but to others he was considered a violent, illiterate
All throughout history, numerous nations have tried to conquer the islands of Japan. However, no matter how large their invasion forces were, those who tried never fully succeeded. Of all those who attempted to conquer Japan, arguably the most famous of all were the Mongols, who tried to subjugate the Japanese people twice, one in 1274, and the other in 1281. The leader of the invading armies, Kublai Khan, wished to expand his people’s influence and culture across the Tsushima Strait, and into the islands east of China. But, try as they may, they could not tame the people that called these islands home.
The Mongols were a powerhouse for a relatively short period of time from 1206 to 1279 by ruling the majority of Asia and eastern Europe leading to them becoming the largest contiguous empire in history. This power is due to the power of Genghis Khan, the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols, and most importantly the geography of Southern Asia. Asia is covered by steppes, extensive flat plains that are easy to traverse, and the Mongols used these to their advantage to easily travel through their empire. It was also important that they were nomadic because the Mongols never really stayed in one place. However, the Mongols were never able to take control of India because the Himalayan mountains blocked their path.
“They didn 't want me to go but I wanted to,” Anna Sandrzyk says. Anna’s family was terrified of having their only daughter leave home at the young age of eighteen. Life in Europe was simple. There were little towns with miniature shops and farm land that spread across the landscapes of Slovakia like an enormous blanket. That just did not seem to be enough for Anna, she had a passion for traveling.
We as social beings have the need to feel secure in the environment we live in . We want to feel a sense of belongingness to a certain group to fulfill our need of security and to gain our own identity. Ethnicity gives us the identity of who we are and where we come from and it helps an individual to be recognized in a certain way. The Persians can be viewed as an example to learn how they stay united as one ethnic culture . Persia was one of the world's largest and the richest empires which successfully contributed to modern civilization.
It is without a doubt that the Mongols were a barbaric group of people whose legacy for being brutal and murdering millions is still alive and very well known today. But what we don't consider often enough is their reasons for acting this way towards outsiders from their own group. The reason for this was because from the beginnings the Mongol people were nomads. Being a nomadic civilization required one to compete for livestock and pasture land with other tribes. This does not excuse the Mongolians for the horrible acts committed but we need to consider their reasons behind their brutality.

Writing is a language. If we take simple words and bluntly put the phrases into paragraphs, it defies the meaning of this broad dialect. I, Abigail Platon, will not only understand this odd, foreign language but make it my own while painting a picture with the power of correct grammar and lines of beautiful word choice. The only way I can find a gateway to this dream is through, one, hard work on my own and, two, in Temple City’s English Honors class. Through this program, I can achieve the goals I desire to complete, either in the academic year or the “foreseeable” future.
