How Did The Land Change America

Improved Essays
America shouldn’t be like it is today but more sent into survival mode and a lot less fighting between brothers. I would like us to go back to the past where we still had giant forests and mountains that touched the clouds in the sky. The way the people live in America would be different then what it is like now. This would be a good way to change America because less land would be destroyed and less fighting. Here are some ideas on how the land could be use and how everyone treats each other. The land would be covered in forests and mountains but towards the North would be a region where a small, but not tiny, village would live there. The village lies to the west of the Great Lakes. They would be in charge of growing the crops for the rest of their people. The village would be covered in fields of crops and some housings. By the North side of the village would be a big stone building where they would store the crops they grown in wooden crates. They would then take a group of people to load some of the crops into three trucks to deliver them to the East village when the crop season is done. The East Village, around the West coast line, would be in charge of the trading of over seas and the export of materials to other village and over sea. The town would be covered in tall stone buildings and roads that lead around the village. By the ocean there would be big harbors that would hold big ships called Vertals that were used to deliver goods to neighboring countries and to the east of the village would be builds that hold giant tank-like trucks called Zillard that would deliver supplies to villages on the land. Most of the Zillards would head south into Mexico but two of them would head to the Village to the West. The West Village is the village that lives in the mountains. They are in charged of mining for minerals and collecting stones. Most of the village lives through a tunnel that leads …show more content…
Twice a year for a time span of a month one of the three village will send a group of men to go hunt for meat in the forest that is in the middle of America. When they get a good amount of meat they would on the last week of this tradition. They then would skin the animals and store their meat in iron crates that keep the meat from rotting. They would then take the crates and put them into the Zillards and head to the East Village to trade some of the meat and then they head back home to give their village some of the game they had got. The people of each village believe in one thing, that is family is first and anything else is second. The reason that they believe this is because that if everyone in the village help each other, because in a village everyone is like family, then they can survive longer. Helping each other on different task like building a new home for someone or help someone with their task if they are sick show that everyone trust everyone and cares for them. In a strong community there is a strong bond between the villagers that shows that they will stand with each

After the war more than half of the native land was taken over by the English settlers which economically changed the resources readily available to the both the natives and the English settlers.

    The tradition shapes the social construct of the village, as it’s dependent on the crops that season. Even though they face the possibility of death, the villagers accept it because it is the social norm, and construct of the village. The motives behind the practice boils down to peer pressure and the fact that they’ve always done it. When questioned why, they were shot down and called a “pack of crazy fools”(628). The use of tradition to form the social structure in “The Lottery” is also prominent in “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas”.…

    Varied reasons promoted America’s Westward Expansion in the 19th century. In the beginning of the century, the main expansion catalysts were the nation’s new acquisition of land and opportunities. In 1803, President Thomas Jefferson bought the Louisiana Territory from France, doubling the size of the United States and providing a large area west for expansion. During the 1820s, westward migration became popular among American citizens, however, they experienced difficulty pervading national borders as a result of Indians occupying the surrounding land. In response to this, Hamilton passed a law in 1830 to remove Native Americans from their promised territories bordering the United States; later known as the Indian Removal Act.…

They work hard to provide each other and their own families the food and supplies needed to live. This is done by them maintaining family farms and building or crafting most items they need during their lifetime. Working together in the community plays a big role in their success as a society.…

    Reflection Paper on The Village (2004) In the film, The Village, a primitive society of people is influenced by the legends told by the elders, resulting in their containment within the boundaries of the village. They are held there by their belief in the existence of the creatures said to live just beyond the village in the surrounding woods. This belief system follows many of the claims made by Durkheim, including his views on the presence and power of the supernatural or divine. The Village demonstrates that a community that holds the same beliefs and respect for those beliefs may maintain social stability, though the foundation of their system may be false.…
