Introduction

Bollywood Abroad: South Asian Diasporic Cosmopolitanism and Indian Cinema by Jigna Desai is an essay which has as its motive the need to demonstrate the importance of cinema in forming a Diaspora (South Asian) in Britain and America (Desai, 2006). Although this is the case, the film takes a feministic approach. Desai’s analysis is based on aspects such as circulation, production and reception of films from the Diaspora from which Desai theorizes sexual, gender and the racial mechanisms through which the Diaspora was formed.

Question 1: “TV People”

Question 2: “My World of the Unknown”
In Rifaat’s story, the biggest challenge that the audience meets is the ability to deduce meaning for the morals behind using the snake (jinni) as a coach for sexual pleasure. While the woman in the story plays an innocence character, the audience cannot still ascertain how an adult with whose cognitive capabilities are not in doubt can ascent to the fantasies that accompany the snake without informing the husband how she relates with the snake. For western readers the story could explain the structure of relationships in Eastern families and what ...

Cultural diffusion and interaction is one of the conspicuous phenomenons that have characterized the world in the post-colonial era. However, the world has seemingly been inclined towards the Western culture. Salaman Rushdie is arguably one of the celebrated post-colonial writers who have managed to capture this phenomenon through his novella-“East, West”. Chekov and Zulu is one of the intriguing stories in the novella that satirically or rather, humorously demystifies how the Western culture has diffused into the Eastern world. The underlying story of how Chekov and Zulu are fascinated and affected by the Western culture in Britain exemplifies ...

It is with the heavy heart and the attitude of someone who has always resided in the western world, that I find the purpose of tattoos to have been blemished. The idea of Tattoo that I am measuring is between two extreme ideas: people, and tribes. People treat tattoos as an expression of individuality; tribes utilize tattoos to be recognised as a unit. What either group has in common is a sense of symbolism by using the body as a medium.
Regardless of time periods, resources, or location, the value of tattoos between western people and aboriginal tribes do share a perspective. ...

WALTER RODNEY (1975), LIMITATIONS of the African petty bourgeoisie, Toronto: Afro-carrib publishers

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering.

It was expected that the working classes who form the majority of the population would after gaining independence enjoy both political, social and economic freedom. That every person ...

Assignment 1.

The same is the case with logic; the logical way of thinking or rationale way of thinking is a corner stone of the Western culture. While Eastern world perception is based on spiritual belief, the Western is based on rational/logical justifications and proves. Without logical way of thinking science as we know it would not exist, it would be based on assumptions, which would be proved by belief. Thus, logic provides the Western culture with its foundation - rationalism. The modern example of this is that, without logical laws of truth and false, it would not be possible to build ...

Her hands shook, each finger twitching in a frenzied and broken rhythm that no one could have possibly understood. That was okay, the rhythm of her fingers matched the erratic beating of her heart at that moment. She had done something horrible, something that she might never have believed possible of herself in a million years. Worse than that though, so much so in fact that she felt it as a sudden awakening in the pit of her stomach, she’d enjoyed it. She had put a gun to a man’s head and pulled the trigger, and she ...

The discrete random variable is a variable that takes only discrete values, e.g. 1, 2, 5, etc. If we plot a graph with the discrete variables, it is a dotted graph, where each dot represents a value. The peculiarity of the discrete variables is that it is impossible to obtain a variable value between the two nearly dots (Anderson, Sweeney & Williams, 2001). In a restaurant business, there are several examples of discrete random variables. These are the daily number of customers, the number of free, engaged or booked tables, the number of dishes served. However, if the manager needs ...
