Earlier generations believed that pidgins and creoles were wrong versions of English. It is only comparatively recently that linguists have realized that pidgins and creoles were rather new languages. Their words were largely taken from an older language during a period of linguistic crisis to fill an urgent need for communication (Holm, 2000, p. 25). This makes them appear to be deformed versions of that older language. If, however, one examines them as linguistic systems, analyzing the structure of their phonology, syntax, and word formation, it becomes evident that these systems are quite different from those of the language from ...

Ebola virus made its way to the headlines for the very first time in the late 1970s as the population of Congo and Sudan suffer from a deadly hemorrhagic fever. While it was thought that such outbreaks were controlled in Africa and the rest of the world, the virus startled the United States once again in the year 1989—ten years after the World Health Organization declared the outbreak in Africa (Peters and LeDuc, 1999).
Today, Ebola virus continues to haunt the people all over the world as the World Health Organization disclosed another outbreak in Guinea, Sierra Leone, ...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the traditional institution of trade and economics among the Trobriand Islanders. The primary focus is on the symbolic interpretation of the acts involved in the kula ring and in yam production, display and distribution. The first section of the paper explains the kula ring and how it operated in Trobriand society at the time of the first ethnographic description of the Trobrianders by Malinowski in 1914. The second section examines how social hierarchy is expressed in trade within the kula ring. The third section looks at the difference between symbolic gift ...

In what ways can we say that cannibalism exists in a normative cultural framework?

Cannibalism is the act of eating human flesh. It is also known as anthropophagy in which a person is not bound to eat human flesh but his/her different organs as well. The act was first identified in the tribe of West Indies. The origin of the term ‘Canibales’ is quite controversial as many narratives said that Christopher Columbus mistakenly called them ‘Canibales’ instead of Caribs. Cannibalism was common in different parts of the world. If its say that the concept was more related to the cultural norm or practice, then it is not wrong. In the past, the act ...

A recent study demonstrated that most people depend on media as the primary source of health information (WHO Ebola Response Team, 2014). Consequently, this contributes significantly to the improvement of fitness and knowledge among the public. The health messages come from different mass media channels based on the needs of the reader. However, such information falls under scrutiny due to allegations of its reliability and clarity to the audience processing the messages. Survey analysis indicates that the media coverage relies partially on statistics findings from reports published about medical trial results and disease incidences. Thus, they are bound to ...

Already in 1937, the US government was dissatisfied with the actions of the Japanese in Manchuria, as well as with the policy of Germany and Italy.

Introduction

The documentary seems to take a different approach to try to understand human culture. Interestingly, the documentary is adopts a historical approach rather than a scientific approach. This is because Diamond is a biologist professor and to be able to understand why human culture has so many differences he ventures in to the world of anthropology and history. The main thesis of the documentary focuses on the environment and its influence in shaping the differences in human culture.
Do you think Jared Diamond has a plausible scientific basis for his thoughts on the spread of Guns, Germs, and Steel?

Q1. Stanner's assessment of the Dreaming is the aboriginal idea of a communal afterlife, which is eternal and ongoing. Human beings have 'souls,' as do every other living creature; these lifeforms help to create a complicated system that leads back to the Totemic Spirit Beings that exist within the Dreaming, forming the Creation. I believe that it can most certainly be described as a dualism, due to the fact that the Dreaming exists both before and after the individual life; it inhabits both flesh and spirit, and blends the physical and spiritual worlds together.
Peterson, N. 1976. ‘The Natural and ...

Faith and the belief systems play a vital role in driving the human experience. In their articles, Street (2010), Keane (2008), and Lewis (2002) make interesting discussions about the concept of belief in the universal world. This essay utilizes their influence to argue that belief is not in opposition to doubt. Also, however, there appears to be a clear universal distinction between irrational and rational beliefs. The following is a further discussion on this issue.
Belief systems, however, have different ways of explaining forces that operate within the contemporary world. Christianity, for instance, as suggested by Alice Street (2010) ...

Human development is a process of providing mechanisms through which people can flourish and attain self-actualization in their lives. The rationale of human development as a process goes beyond focusing on economic development as an indicator of people’s wellbeing. It therefore incorporates other dimensions which are crucial in establishing the extent to which people would describe quality life. Traditionally, most economists have used quantitative indicators such as GDP Per capita as a measure of people’s wellbeing in a particular economy.
The reality is however, different because quantitative indicators such as these are limited to assessing economic success ...

Douglas MacArthur was born on January 26th, 1880 in Little Rock, the capital of Arkansas. His desire to enroll in the army was not a surprise to anyone, as he was following the example of his father and the military career Douglas Jr. saw unravel before him. His mother played an important role in the military career of her son. She helped him to achieve the next milestone in his career and get an invitation to study at the most prestigious military institution in the United States – West Point Academy. The future general graduated the academy in 1903 with ...

Cannibalism was quite common among the early man. The suggested reasons for cannibalism may be to survive starvation especially during the winter seasons or rituals performed by the early man when one of them died. This paper will shed light on prehistoric cannibalism and the disease, which can spread from one person to another because of cannibalism.
Evidence that cannibalism prevailed in early man exists in the modern literature. According to the article written by John Roach, modern man contains genetic markers, which are an indicator that early humans were cannibals. Scientist attributes their discovery of genes protecting against ...

Four countries that rely on fossil fuels are also four countries racing to learn how to utilize more renewable energy than they have done in the past. Each country has the ability to use geothermal, wind, solar, and hydroelectricity power and rely less on oil, coal, and natural gas reserves. Each country has the opportunity to change and there is support for these changes to reduce greenhouse gas production by the middle of the twenty-first century.
Philippines have been switching to more renewable energy than before, while still relying on non-renewable energy sources, such as gas and oil. However, ...

Common property resources are those resources which have property rights that are enforced collectively by members of a group or organization. Usually, the increased use of the resources by one individual led to a decrease of resources available for other individuals to consume. Ocean resources include; marine life such as fish and whales, open sea used for traveling and fishing, minerals found in the ocean such as oil, gas, sand among others. This paper will briefly describe the tragedy of commons as indicated in Hardin. It will also use Seabright to clarify how the rights of the common property ...

The Importance of Microbes to Animals from Eating to Evolution

Microbes are any living organism that throughout its lifespan is too small to be seen with our naked eye. Most microbes are single-cell organisms. Microbes are the oldest form of life on earth – dating back over 3.5 million years ago when the Earth was still covered with boiling oceans. While microbes are typically thought of as bacteria, microbes can include protists, fungi and microscopic animals. Without microbes, animals could not eat, breathe, or possibly even have evolved at all. Without animals, well, they would probably be just fine. Microbes are important to animals in numerous ways, from eating to ...

Chapter 5 of Jared Diamond’s book Guns, Germs and Steel is about the social inequality that has always existed within society. He begins the chapter by writing “Much of human history has consisted of unequal conflicts between haves and the have-nots: between people with farmer power and those without it” (Diamond, 93). He goes through various cultures citing dates and discusses the overview of the inequality faced, and why it existed.

Diamond asks for a basic explanation as to why food production did not emerge in certain places where it would have drastically improved the conditions of the ...

The current research is focused on the theme of food classification and the application of binary opposition system to the current issues and its strengths and weaknesses. Binary opposition is known as the specific concept that uses two related terms that are opposite in their meanings to demonstrate the contrast between the two sides of each concept. Every culture has a specific system of principles that is used to classify the food in order to regulate its intake. One of the most interesting aspects of food regulating process is the usage of binary opposition system. These classifications usually include such ...

English is not only known to be the most common language in the world today but is also known for the seemingly funny, and unexplainable, intricacies that surround the language. In this paper, we will address the topic of how and why do we come to know of the language as a comical and confusing one and yet manage to attain and retain it at the same time. We will delve on the observations made by Richard Lederer in his essay “English is a Crazy Language” where he opines that there are numerous words in English which will never ...

Book Review: The Man-Eating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy

Cannibalism as a topic of interest in both general and anthropological way has got many people concerned in the last few years. One of the people principally liable for the revival of this topic is William Arens. He wrote the book, “The Man- Eating Myth: Anthropology and Anthropophagy” in 1979. There have been numerous suggestions by researchers indicating that cannibalism has nutritional benefits, for instance, in the case of Aztec cannibalism that had its basis on a prolonged animal proteins shortage (White, 2014, pg.18). Evaluation of this and other hypotheses on cannibalism poses serious problems since its only very few people ...

Resources are, by far, the sinews or the driving force of the economy. For centuries, countries have waged wars over lucrative resources that would give them a competitive advantage, improve the economy, trade, and help amass national wealth. Following that logic, resources should normally benefit whatever country has them at its disposal. However, it so happens that countries rich in oil, gas, and other mineral resources struggle to maintain economic stability. Their abundance attracts separatist groups or foreign intruders and produces poor and corrupt administrations that use resources as a means of building their own welfare. The conjuncture now is such ...

How Are the Major Rivers in Africa Vital to Its Economy?
In terms of total annual runoff (4600 km3) Africa takes third place after Eurasia and South America, and by the thickness of the layer (less than 160 mm) it is inferior to all continents except Australia and Antarctica. The main watershed of the African continent passes through its most elevated eastern edge, so more than 1/3 of the runoff is in the Atlantic Ocean, only about 1/4 in the Indian Ocean, even less - in the Mediterranean Sea. About 1/3 of Africa (about 9 million km2) has ...

The term financial crisis has been used broadly to several situations whereby some financial institutions or assets face a sudden loss in a huge part of their value. The 19th and 20th centuries have encountered bank panics and recessions (Kindleberger & Aliber, 2005). Other situations related to financial crises include stock market crashes as earlier witnessed in the United States and bursting of financial bubbles, sovereign defaults and currency crises. What has been considered as the global financial crisis began in the United Kingdom and the United States of America following a significant standstill in the global credit market in July 2007.

A pesticide is a contraction that is used to describe various agents, which are categorized based on their ability to kill living beings. These include herbicides, insecticides, as well as fungicides. Even though the utilization of pesticides has duplicated each ten years from 1945, pest destruction to crops is more widespread now than it used to be. Several pests are now resistant to pesticide because of the omnipresent pesticides’ presence in the environment. Residues of chlorinated pesticide are there in the soil, air, and water, with a co-occurrence presence in human beings. Carbamate as well as Organophosphate pesticides, the compounds that ...

Psychology of Gender

In some countries there are people who are characterized as neither women nor men. Usually in this case they are attributed to the third gender, which is a special social category, often with its own rights and liabilities. In this essay I am going to focus on four cultures that recognize the third gender in their society: New Guinea, India, indigenous American tribes and Afghanistan.
In New Guinea the third gender representatives are called kwolu-aatmwol, which means “transforming into a male thing” (intersexed). Often such people are quietly disparaged and made fun of, especially in their early years (Herdt, 1996). ...
