The native American cultures that produced the Mound Builders ranged from the Northern Plains to what are now the states of North and South Carolina and the Mississippi Delta area. The ancestors of today’s native North American tribes, are thought by many archaeologists to have established the mounds between the years 3,000 BC and 1200AD.

The term Eastern Woodland Indians refers to the many tribes of native North Americans who originally lived in the forests that extended the entire length of the eastern seaboard, across the boreal forests of the Canadian Shield as far north and west as the headwaters of the MacKenzie River that flows into the Arctic Ocean. Notwithstanding the difficulties with travel and communication within that vast territory, and despite the fact that there were three major language families and a multitude of tribes that spoke their own dialects of those languages, there was a common glue that held the Eastern Woodland Indian culture together.

The Russian culture has developed over centuries and not just the relatively few years of its life under Communist rule. Whilst individualism and competition is the norm in Western society, a sense of community and togetherness are ingrained in the Russian spirit. Its climate and geography has shaped Russia’s culture in a far more lasting way than communism. With harsh cold weather the Russian people have developed an inner strength and persistence and also a fairly dark outlook on life.

Recent reports from the scientific community based around the Hubble Space Observatory have stated that if we achieve contact with an alien intelligence, that intelligence is likely to be machine based. From mass entertainment of The Terminator movies right to the top of the scientific establishment, it is assumed that machine intelligence is the pinnacle of developmental excellence that must be inevitable achieved. But is it really, and more to the point, will it ever be?

A few years back I penned a short essay entitled, “The Counter-Cultural Melting Pot” for a few offline publications. At the time, my goal was to shed light on the severe lacking of an intellectually free-thinking subversive culture. At one point, this dissident society would have been found in the undercurrent of American thought, arts, and literature.

What is it about ancient people that interests us? Why study how people lived thousands of years ago? Is there any reason to learn about how they lived their lives and what kinds of beliefs they had?

Hobsonville Point is a new 3000 house development project in Auckland. It is a large, long term project that brings with it many positives and negatives. How will this project affect you?

The French Revolution (1789-1799) served to abolish the existing governmental structure in France. The people would no longer allow a system of aristocratic privilege. This led to the Enlightenment and a paradigmatic shift in the ideas of individuality and natural rights, and eventually the acceptance of a declaration of the rights of man.

World History attempts to offer a global perspective on the collective chronicles of the Earth’s societies. This is necessary, for to view history from the perspective of any individual society is to peer through the lenses of subjective experience and thought. Science seeks an objective truth, not one riddled with misconceptions, erroneous impressions, and outright lies meant to serve the agenda of a particular group. While World History has been searching for the concrete answers, the realm of the abstract has “been the preserve mainly of mythologists, theologians, metaphysicians, and philosophers of history,” as Bruce Mazlish has said.

Mike Davis and his ideas of the effect of Western contact with the Third World varies greatly from that of P. T. Bauer. Bauer, in his essay entitled “Western Guilt and Third World Poverty”, claims, “Since the middle of the 19th century commercial contacts established by the West have improved material conditions out of all recognition over much of the Third World… Roads, railways and man-made ports; the application of science and technology to economic activity; towns with substantial buildings, clean water and sewage facilities; public health care, hospitals and the control of endemic and epidemic diseases; formal education. These advances have resulted from peaceful commercial contacts.”

Collectivism and Communism is on the rise again, why I don’t know, but I suspect it is a regression and de-evolution of a once strong human race. You see, some birds flock, and the strong birds, predators do not. They don’t need the flock to protect them, or the concept of; “There is safety in numbers” motif.
