book cover
The book cover is simple, but my picture of entrepreneurs and their families eagerly getting off a boat into america emphasizes that immigration was one of the main factors contributing to the industrial age. The body text identifies the other main factors contributing to the growth of american industry that were not shown through the cover photo. The thought of Changing America Forever in the title draws the reader in and appeals to them by showing how this time in American History will never be forgotten and still continues to effect people today. It expresses the idea that if the industrial age had never happened, almost every aspect of their lives would be different in some way.

Nike Research
Nike is working to minimize their environmental impact on society, transform manufacturing and unleash human potential. Their goals began when media communication began to spread the word about big companies like Nike using excess materials, leaving a large carbon footprint, and not always maintaining labor and environmental practices. They evaluate factory performance, including labor and environmental practices. Nike focused on eliminating waste through more efficient product design and manufacturing technologies, They have also cut their energy usage in half in the past 8 years by transitioning into the use of renewable energy sources, reducing their water usage, and implementing a standard for chemicals used throughout production. they are also fostering a workplace that is increasingly diverse and inclusive.

Smoke signals essay
In the film, Smoke Signals, there are many obstacles facing Victor and Thomas like their history and indian stereotypes, that help them come to terms with their past and find meaning in their Native American history and cultural traditions.
One circumstance where they struggled with stereotypes was on the bus. A girl was complaining about how she was on the olympic gymnastics team, but never preformed and Victor got suddenly angered by hearing this. He became mad because he thought it was unfair that she was given this opportunity without having to work nearly as hard as the Indians had. He also believed that she was using him and Thomas by talking to them, which he justified by the fact that if she was actually an olympian she would have much more money and wouldn't be riding the bus.
Victor was making this journey to retrieve the ashes of his father that had left them as a child but had died. He may not have had the best opinion of his father at times but his indian history and tradition of forgiveness and respect for their ancestors caused him to change his mind. Thomas, who had been previously not been on good terms with Victor, forgave him and decided to provide money and accompany him on his journey. Victor appeared to be very stereotypical with his long braids and obvious nervousness around the white police officer once they had been asked for questioning about an alleged assault. Victor, whos knowledge of Native American history came only from what his grandmother would tell him, was scared of the officer because he was white and was stunned that they walked out of his office alive. His opinion changed because he saw that just becuase white people had been extremely cruel to Indians in the past, they are not all filled with hatred and evil like he thought. He has great respect for his grandmother, who he lives with since both his parents died in a fire, and she holds tradition by kneading and baking bread for him, despite her painful arthritis.
When the come home after retrieving his father's ashes, Victor gives half of them to Thomas as a symbol of thanks and appreciation. Victor's mother found power in her Native American culture by going to the house where his father lived, lighting sage, and burning it down. This was symbolic because she used sage as a way to cleanse his soul of bad demons and allow him a new beginning. When Victor gives her the ashes, she lifts them up to sky as a sign of respect and to help him rise. Victor, acting upon his tradition and history of what he has been told, found power by pouring the ashes into the raging waters of a river below. This would give his father the chance to go back to nature, which Native Americans greatly respected and cared for, and to "rise up like a salmon". Victor did not know for sure why his father had left him and his mother, but his efforts to figure out the truth behind his personal history revealed to him that his father never intended to leave them, but once he had he could not return. This helped

The arizona citizen
The article in this paper is talking about how the people of arizona hope for the business of murder to come to an end. 4 murderers were hung for a murder in tucson, arizona, in which a man was brutally beat, cut, and shot to death. the murderers fled and while in pursuit, one was shot to death and the other was captured. the townspeople hoped that he will not remain long in jail until convicted and hung as the law requires. They believe it sad the other killer did not fight because then he could have been deservedly shot too. The people of arizona believe that all murderers will be promptly shot, hung or killed in some way so that the crime of murder will become more rare.
