With so much money lost, the market plunged to the lowest of the low (www.history.com). And there were raging dust storms with scathing winds whipping into skin, dust and sand so dark a thing could not be seen, dust everywhere filling up every corner in the Midwest (www.chcmuseumok.com). The 1930s was a tarnished and tragic time in American history, but through the darkness some people had hope for a better life, somewhere far away from home (www.chcmuseumok.com).

While most people stick to established religions or no religion at all, there still remains a large chunk of the population that does not conform to these norms. Today there are thousands of new religious movements in the United States alone. The two religious movements that I decided to research are Raelism and the Amish.

Mise-en-scène is French expression that means ‘staging action’ and it refers to all the visual elements within a scene, from setting; costumes and acting style.

As the United States gained momentum, the young nation acquired a much obsessive notion to change the world for the better. In attempting to do so, the United States colonized and destroyed foreign nations and stole their resources in the process. Through exclusion in the public sector, the American government implemented the assimilation of immigrants and colonized peoples in a racialized manner, which provoked American society to heighten xenophobic and racist notions. In this historical analysis, I will explain how assimilation during the 1800s was an erroneous idea by first discussing how racial exclusion practices in the education system of the 19th century were implemented according to the political cartoon by Louis Dalrymple “School

Cultural globalization is often understood as the spatial diffusion of global products. At a deeper level, cultural globalization may be seen as the contested process of internationalization of values, attitudes and beliefs. The spread of cultural practices and symbols makes the world more the same, but at the same time triggers resistance. Hence, cultural globalization while uniting the world is also seen to strengthen local cultures and is a major force behind the creation of identities. Such homogenization or differentiation can be noticed in the change of cultural practices and consumption patterns over time and space.
