After looking at and analyzing each poster, I feel that the topics of gender roles, the six nations, biodiversity, the great awakening and witchcraft are all very interesting and diverse subjects. I feel that gender roles have evolved so much since the 1500's, and that there have been so many movements and different ideologies and steps taken through history because of it. The way our society works and functions now is a result of hundreds of years of build up to this point. The six nations seems like something that has to do with a bigger issue and a very human one at that. The colonists think that it's right and correct to steal from the natives, and use them as laborers to accomplish their dreams. They feel that it's empty land, and that the Native Americans were nothing more than an inconvenience and something to quickly clean up. Biodiversity is a subject that I feel could be extremely important to learn about since America is basically a nationwide melting pot of different races, cultures, and influences. I would love to get to know the origin story of not only America, but the people living in it, and how the world was before, during, and after. The Great Awakening is something that interests me because I am religious myself, so to learn about the history of a religion and gain more information and knowledge regarding that seems like it would beneficial and eye opening to understanding what others see and what it means. Finally, witchcraft along with cults and conspiracies are all topics that I find very intriguing and would love to get to the bottom of. I feel that it could also lead to very colorful discussions in class and will push my thinking. The one thing I wouldn't love to learn and go in depth about is Aztec and Mayan culture and life. We already went over a lot of that last year, and learned about the 1000-1400's regarding native tribes and their history. I would love to learn instead about the more human aspect and the experiences and first hand stories. To delve into the moral debates and political conversations.
