☆☆☆☆☆"Mores" in the societical sense of the word means "standards, values, customs". These are underlyingnorms thatform the basis for expectedbehavior for a given culture, which also means they can vary widely around the world. For instance, in the United States a societal more is to be approachable; this gives rise to the commonly accepted behavior of requesting to be addressed by one's first name when first meeting someone new. However, in Asia the more is to be respectful, which gives rise to the commonly accepted behavior of addressing others by title and last name even after working with them for years.

The civilizations the existed in pre-columbian America were the Native American Indians. Their origins were immense continents with extraordinary climatic and environmental diversity.
Chinese immigration to the U.S. consisted of three major waves, with the first beginning in the 19th century. Chinese immigrants in the 19th century worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad, and the mining industry, and suffered racial discrimination.
So hostile was the opposition that in 1882 the United States Congress eventually passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited immigration from China for the next ten years. This law was then extended by the Geary Act in 1892.
In 1924 the law barred further entries of Chinese; those already in the United States had been ineligible for citizenship since the previous year. Also by 1924, all Asian immigrants (except people from the Philippines, which had been annexed by the United States in 1898) were utterly excluded by law, denied citizenship and naturalization, and prevented from marrying Caucasians or owning land.
In 1943, Chinese immigration to the U.S. was once again permitted - by way of the Magnuson Act - thereby repealing 61 years of official racial discrimination against the Chinese. Large scale Chinese immigration did not occur until 1965 when the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 lifted national origin quotas.
In 1521, while circumnavigating the world, Ferdinand Magellan would discover the Philippine Islands and claimed them for Spain. While he was in the Philippines, Magellan would become embroiled in local politics that eventually would see him cut down and killed in the beach surf attempting to reach his ship.
In 1565, the Spanish would return with Miguel López de Legazpi's expedition. Legazpi established the first Spanish city on the island of Cebu and named it San Miguel. The country would remain under Spanish dominion until 1898.
