[ From just an island, to England ]
Civilizations do not just pop up suddenly. Many years had to pass so we could saw groups of people in what we know now as Great Britain. In the begging there were some hunters tribes. They stayed there even though the weather conditions that affect the island. As time went by immigrants started to arrive on the island, looking for a new horizon. As more people got into the island, the obvious mixture of cultures, beliefs and customs started to create tension among the people. As History has shown, the imposition of a culture above others has never been a peaceful process. Battles and constant fights for land and superiority framed the "civilization" process.
As we can tell, the "civilization" process is always framed by who is stronger and has the power to subjugate the rest. Furthermore I can add, that the British culture it is not original but the mixture of hungry hunters and people looking for a new place to live.

[ Expectations ]
At the beginning I thought this would be some sort of a History class, with dates and facts, but I realized it is going to be more than that. I expect that as this class goes on, all of us, and I can be able to look mat the whole picture of what happened and what is happening around us, in order to generate critical thinking and different points of view. This, as future teachers, is really important due to the fact that we are going to be responsible of opening children’s minds, and for that we must be open minded first. So I hope we can all work together, share our own experiences and enjoy this course that I really think would be interesting.
