We see an example of this in the play “Macbeth” performed at Pop Up Globe, directed by Tom Mallaburn, was written originally by the well-known author, William Shakespeare. Macbeth is based upon a big tragedy, where the two main characters, Macbeth and Lady Macbeth, inevitably were forced to do evil things due to their ambition; taste the sweetness of victory and then downfall again. Although the play was written by an English author, Shakespeare smartly sets his story based upon the idea of ambition, a concept that relates to all of us, no matter where we are from.

Although the colonists had a strong sense of nationalism for Great Britain before and during the French and Indian War, after Britain 's victory, the economic, social, and political structures in the colonies began to change; shifting colonial views.

Kyle Eakin From British taxes contributing to the Revolutionary War to the housing collapse in 2008, every major event in the United States can be tied to money in some way. Money has been a catalyst of change over our history with both positive and negative results with the Department of the Treasury naturally being a central factor. The currencies that predate the dollar helped to create the United States as they funded our fight for freedom in multiple wars.
