Article analysis

Japan-the dominant power in Asia had developed hatred for nations that had colonies in the Asian mainland and pacific and these include the United States, Portugal and France. For this reason, Japan wanted to substitute these colonies with its own and form the “Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere.” To achieve this, Japan was prepared to go to any extent including war citing the war in china in 1937. The author’s point is that the United States resolution to resolve the outstanding difference that existed between them and Japan in 1941 bore no fruits. Instead, Japan continued to occupy ...

Critical review of Men and Masculinities in Modern Africa

Nwando Achebe gives cases of women in Africa who have been able to occupy a variety of leadership roles. She states that traditionally women mainly held power due to their relationship with the particular rulers especially as mothers, sisters or daughter to the rulers. She moves ahead and illustrates his assertion by giving examples of women who were guided by great leaders who in most cases were their close relatives. For instance Ahebi Ugbabe, among the Igbo, assumed royal powers and dressed in the king’s attire pending the installation of the next ruler (Lindsay, Lisa & Miescher, 53). This illustrates ...

Introduction

The world food system has been in dynamism since the development of food trade and the need to create consumer preferences as demanded by every company or nation that had got the opportunity to produce, market and distribute food commodities (Leong-Salobir, 2011). This lead to expansion of agro-food based industries. This expansion however, being more effective and significant to the superior countries proved to be severe and detrimental to the colonized state. The Author puts the severity of this change as beyond the colonized nation’s individual’s health challenges. For instance the French food policy changes dictated the ...

Anthropologists first used the word "tribes" to describe people groups they have studied through the years, all over the world. The term however proved to be insufficient, even politically incorrect as more knowledge of the discipline has been obtained, and accounting for the historical, political, cultural, and even inter-relational aspects of these people groups has become more and more complicated.
According to Béteille, tribes pertain more to people groups that are secluded, more or less self-sufficient, and homogenous socially. This definition was challenged when South Asian homogenous people groups were observed to be interactive with one another, ...

In the article one of the chiefs of the Indian Abenakis addresses the Captain Phineas Stevens and through him the Governor of Boston and the English people as a whole denouncing their plans for colonial expansion in their lands.

Early Settlers

Andrew J. Russell is best known for his artwork about the Central Pacific Railroad that was built in 1869. The photos capture the construction as well as the natives and how they participated in the construction. Therefore, the art can be used to describe the native or settlers during the construction. The culture and the economic development of the settlers appears to have changed over the years as a result of construction of the transport services.
The early American settlers had poor means of transport and communication until the development of the railways. The settlers were mostly used in ...

RESPONSE TO EDITORIALS

In as much as the authorities have a clear cut on how to conduct themselves when handling hostile crowds, there should be a line of reasoning. The British are human beings and therefore should have a conscience and at least give a benefit of the doubt to the American colonies to hear them out, the demonstration, in this case, might be a call to humanity needs. I cannot underestimate the effect, and that these roving groups have on the response of the British soldiers, their actions provoke and thus influence the constant harassment. Nevertheless, a minute of hearing the ...

James Walvin in his article “A taste of empire” examines the role colonization played in the localization of activities such as tea drinking, tobacco smoking, and chocolate consumption into British culture. “Yet, each and many more of these habits is only British by adoption. The peculiarly British customs associated with these traditions were developed in a relatively short period, and involved commodities imported from every edge of colonial settlement and trade” (Walvin 11). Walvin states that tea started out as a primarily luxurious commodity only meant for the elite but with time grew to form a core part of every Briton’s ...

Stewart Culin in his article Customs of the Chinese Culture in America, thoroughly analyzes how the life of the people from little Chinese colonies has gradually emerged in the American culture. According to Culin, “The people from each district have their peculiar local customs and traditions” (Culin, 1890). Chinese food, however, from these small little colonies have transformed into something new. Locally the people of the Chinese culture enjoy such dishes as orange chicken and fried rice, however it is now often preferred as well with American culture.

Febrile neutropenia (FN) is characterised by a decrease in neutrophils number to values below 500 cells/ mm3 and an occurrence of fever higher or similar to 38.3ºC.

The article focuses on the debates surrounding the nature of and functions of the American government after the American War of Independence. Before the drafting and ratification of the American Constitution, disparities emerge between the big and small States on the kind of government representation that was ideal for all the regions. The division between the North and the South is renowned because of the American Civil War but apparently, another form of States' divide was evident even before the country took sides ...

Article Review: Equity Study In Canada: Race, class and gender paradigms in Canada
Complex societies like Canada had a variety of challenges in terms of race, gender, and class imbalance. Razack, 1990 explains the various paradigms that determine each factor in the course of action.

There is a critical interlocking between the major activities and the ...

Due to the changes that have faced the body of marketing, Wilkie and Moore claim ...

Article Review - Henri II

In "Criticizing the Savage and Making a King: The Royal Entry Festival of Henri II (Rouen, 1550)," Wintroub (1998) examines the royal entry festival that was held in the city of Rouen in 1550 to honor King Henri II. In particular, the article focuses on the reproduction of a Brazilian village that was created for the festival, within which there were fifty Brazilians to inhabit the village. The creation of this village, and the interaction between the Brazilians and the people of France, creates a number of interesting social questions regarding perceptions of other cultures in the Middle Ages. The use of ...

Identity is constructed in and through others. It is closely related to gender which is the social ideological construction of the meaning of the biological sex attributes of an individual. At birth and subsequently however, a baby is subjected to differential treatment by the society in which it is born, depending on the sex. For, to each sex, society gives as a cause, a different meaning and reacts accordingly. As a result, gender imbalances between males and females are nurtured, invariably and mostly to the disadvantage of the females, resulting in diverse gender inequalities throughout the life experiences of an individual. As such, ...
