Changing of the guard


Big Ben


Roman Bath


Stonehenge


Kings College


Woolsthrope Manor


Lincoln


Lincoln Cathedral


Burghley House


Harlaxton Manor

Sightseeing in England! These sites are a huge part of English culture. Starting off with the changing of the guard done multiple times every week. Big Ben is also a representation of English culture and serves as a remarkable monument when foreigners think of England. I also saw the roman bath where people came to get clean and relax hundreds of years ago. Stonehenge serving as one of the oldest historical sites in England. Kings' college at Cambridge and the cathedral are also elegant and showed how important education is in England. Woolsthorpe Manor is where Isaac Newton grew up. It is also where he spent his time conducting experiments and changing our world's perspective. It is where the apple hit him, and he discovered gravity. It is also where he discovered the different colors of the light. In Lincoln we visited the castle and the prison as well as the cathedral. All breathtaking and intriguing. Burghley house was built in honor of Queen Elizabeth I. But best of all was spending a week at the beautiful Harlaxton Manor. I still cannot believe that I got to live there for a week. It was the most amazing experience.

Many other countries tried to help to reduce this famine. The imports were three times more than the exports. They were sending in grains and other food sources to help reduce the untimely deaths of many Irish people. This event and the lack of the British government’s support, drove Ireland to want gain independence.  2.  ...

Worldviews

  Worldviews Worldview is how people interpret the world around them through knowledge, culture, and way of life. It helps people to assess the bigger picture of life such as what happens after death. For some, this could have religious meaning. For others, it could be purely based on science. My worldview is assessed through my religion, experiences, and partially what I have been taught by my parents and peers. However, my worldview as an American differs from that of a Britian. Therefore, we must ask big questions and see perspectives from all different angles. There are three categories of worldview: atheistic, spiritualistic, and religious. An atheistic point of view means that there is a not a belief in god(s). They also believe that they will pave their own way and are responsible for how they want to live. Furthermore, they believe that there is no life after death. Spiritualistic worldview acknowledges that there is a higher power, and they are responsible for their pa...
