INTRODUCTION {TO THE END} The last post has arrived on this great journey of Humanities. It is why I have inserted a full on color picture, yes I know, crazy, but it had to be done. This is a special post. An important one. A post to talk about what happens next. What lies ahead, […]
So this is it. Months of studying the 20th Century comes to an almost conclusion with the last decade of the 1900s. One final assignment set will surely follow to wrap yet another year of Humanities up and finish with studying the just recent history of our world- the decade of the 2000s. For […]
Enochlophobia (noun) definition: morbid fear of crowds So, this post, we’re talking phobias. Specifically- Enochlophobia. Enochlophobia of a sort anyway. See in the 1990s the birth rate in Canada was very low. It had been low from the 70s onwards and did not seem to be changing- average births per woman seeming to be about […]
“Set In Stone” Ninety years had passed. Nine decades had gone before. The tenth was about to unfold. A whole century had almost gone by and a copious amount of things had occurred. People who had lived through the years of the 20th century looked back on the life they had lived and the times […]

The 1980s were a decade remembered for their colour, big hair and music. These things were the statements of the decade. They are a legacy even now as people look back on those years and see them streaked with neon and billboards. Advertising boomed and took on new strategies to motivate people to chase […]
“Shifting Sands” In the middle of a big change, things can be stressful. Things can seem chaotic and fast paced. This is why, many a time, the period in which the implications of the change are actually noticed, comes later. People can’t see past the end of their noses when they are excited or […]
As this is a blog, I’ve decided to take more of a “blogger,” approach on this assignment. Bloggers write, create and present posts to their readers that usually involve things, thoughts or concepts they have recently found totally enthralling and completely fascinating. This is partly why I love to read and write blogs, because […]
“What can you do to promote world peace? Go home and love your family.” ~ Mother Tereasa Just as there was much turmoil in the financial economy of Canada in the 1970s, there was a huge breaking down of the family economy. Resulting from the number of working mothers, confusing identity crisis from the 60s, […]
“Ironic Aftermaths” History has a way of connecting itself. Though events may appear to be scattered, there is always a common thread to be found. This is where the importance of studying history with an open mind comes into play. Time steam engined down the 20th century tracks, leaving the 60s in it’s dust as […]
