In 1996, 33.9 million Americans, about one out of every eight people in the United States, were black. Although blacks from the West Indies and other areas have migrated to the United States in the 20th century, most African Americans were born in the United States, and this has been true since the

Chicago
by Isacescu Vlad
Chicago (city), Illinois, United States. Chicago is the third-largest city in the United States and one of the country's leading industrial, commercial, financial, and transport centres. It extends some 47 km (29 mi) along the south-western shore of Lake Michigan, occupying flatland traversed by two short rivers: the Chicago River and the Calumet River. Both rivers have been linked by canals with the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, establishing Chicago as the connecting point in the waterway route between the Mississippi Valley and the Great Lakes-St Lawrence Seaway. The city's rapid growth was due in large part to its location, with ready access to markets and raw materials; it has the world's busiest airport, Chicago-O'Hare International Airport. The population of Chicago in 1992 was estimated to be 2,768,483 (3,005,072 in 1980). The immigrant heritage of Chicago's population remains very strong, and there is hardly an ethnic group in America not represented there. ...
African american history
Africans and their descendants have been a part of the story of the Americas at least since the late 1400s. As scouts, interpreters, navigators, and military men, blacks were among those who first encountered Native Americans. Beginning in the colonial period, African Americans provided most of the labor on which European settlement, development, and wealth depended, especially after European wars and diseases decimated Native Americans.
Robin Hood and the Black Cloak
Then an old man in a black cloak came forward and said. ‘I can do the job all right.’ At once there were angry shouts from the crowd. People picked up stones and began to throw them at the old man. A woman took an egg out of her basket and threw it. ‘Get on with the job!’ cried the Sheriff’s, and gave the old man the money.
History of Education
The work of Swiss psychologist Jean Piaget had a major impact on educational theory in the early 20th century, particularly in Europe. Piaget wrote extensively on the development of thought and language patterns in children. He examined children’s conceptions of number, space, logic, geometry, physical reality, and moral judgment. Piaget believed that children, by exploring their environment, create their own cognitive, or intellectual, conceptions of reality. By continually interacting with their environment, they keep adding to and reshaping their conceptions of the world. Piaget asserted that human intelligence develops in stages, each of which enhances a person’s understanding of the world in a new and more complex way.

American History
Some Americans felt affinities for France and Britain, but millions of citizens were of German origin. To many Americans, finally, the war in Europe seemed a distant conflict that reflected tangled European rivalries, not U.S. concerns.
But German aggression steered public opinion from neutrality to engagement, and the United States prepared for combat. The Selective Service Act, passed in May 1917, helped gradually increase the size of America’s armed forces from 200,000 people to almost 4 million at the war’s end.
The Life and Work of William Shakespeare
A perennial staple of high school English classes, Romeo and Juliet was written by Shakespeare at a relatively early juncture in his literary career, most probably in 1594 or 1595. During much of the twentieth century, critics tended to disparage this play in comparison to the four great tragedies that Shakespeare wrote in the first decade of the seventeenth century (Hamlet, King Lear, Macbeth, and Othello).
Rasele umane
Culoarea pielii este influentata de trei pigmenti de baza: carotenul(galben), hemoglobina(rosu) si melanina(brun). Melanina este produsa de celule speciale din piele, numite melanocite. Diferitele rase tind sa aiba acelasi numar de melanocite, dar care sunt grupate diferit si producgranule de melanina ce variaza ca marime si cantitate. Culoarea parului si a ochilor unei persoane depinde si de cantitatea de melanina produsa in organism. Parul cret, ondulat sau lins depinde de tipurile de proteine din radacina firului de par. Cei mai multi negroizi au parul negru si cret si ochii caprui inchis; cei mai multi australoizi au parul negru, ondulat si ochii de un caprui mediu; mongoloizii au parul negru si lins, iar ochii caprui deschis pana la inchis; caucazienii reprezinta rasa cea mai variata. Diversitatea culorii ochilor se datoreaza faptului ca pigmentii din ochi filtreaza excesul de raze ultraviolete, care ar putea deteriora straturile sensibile din interiorul ochiului, reducand precizia ...
