Indian Act

Indian Act Indian Act refers to a legislation that was introduced by the British colonial government in Canada to control the expansion of the native populations through assimilation. Since the colonial administration was interested in establishing a Whiteman’s land in Canada, it was necessary to come up with legislations to officially enforce this. This explains why the act was enforced. Although it has remained up to date, it has had to undergo lots of amendments aimed at satisfying and responding to the public outcry. Through this act, the government has been able to control over the issues of India ...

The notion of self-critical individuality is distinct from the dominant social structure. The article “alternative modernities and medieval Indian literature” refers to a patriarchal social structure and a caste-based value system. It also provides a feminist critique of and defends the values of work done by women. This literary-critical analysis addresses alternative modernities in an Indian context. Modernity, in this regard, is infinitely expandable. This presentation focuses distinctly “modern” values in women and gender studies.

In the overview of “new” modernist studies, Gaonkar (26) characterize modernities field in three major axes i.e. vertical, horizontal and temporal, by which they expound the ...

Question 1

The Great Depression which was experienced between 1929 and 1933 was the most severe economic downturn in the modern times. The depression enhanced economic changes such in macroeconomic policy, economic theory, and economic institutions. Millions of workers lost their jobs while businessmen and farmers across the world went bankrupt. The economic slump affected the industrialized nations and those nation producing primary products, such as raw materials and food, in one way or another (Smiley, p.34). For instance, in both United States and Germany, the industrial output fell by approximately 50%, and the unemployment level in the industrial labor force ...

Globalization is a term used to explain the enhanced connectivity between nations, institutions, corporations, culture and people. It assumes a borderless world whereby ideas, finances, goods and services move freely across perceived boundaries that include borders, languages, governments and time. Some circles suggest we are in a second wave of globalization following the industrial revolution that emanated from England in the 18th century (Lewellen, 2002). The current wave of globalization has been prompted by the growth in communications, particularly in relation to advancements in, and widespread use of networked technologies.

Modernization can be interpreted as a western conception of industrialization. In a traditional ...

1. Describe the culture of Canada and compare it with India. What are some of the main similarities and differences? Where do you think people from India culture would have problems integrating into Canadian culture? (Use cultural dimensions discussed in class as the basis for your comparison) Canada is a relatively young country, having been discovered by Europeans in the 15th century but only becoming a confederate in 1914. Throughout its history, Canada has been invaded and populated by the French and the British, and has retained very liberal immigration policies, encouraging a mix of European (Dutch, Spanish, Polish, Ukrainian, Swedish, ...

The human rights crisis between the Tibetans and the Chinese government started in the early 1900s. The Chinese government recognizes Tibet as part of it and cannot be separated. Accordingly, clashes, protest by the Tibet arrests and detention have characterized the relation between the two parties as Tibet seeks her independence from China.

Impact of recent changes in India, Japan, and other Asian countries on your own life

India, Japan, China and other Asian countries have emerged to be economic power houses over the past few decades. Economists attribute this paradigm shift to accelerated integration to the international economy that happened in 1979- 2002. Foreign direct investment (FDI) increased during this period to over US$50 billion in china alone.

India’s independence led to a steady growth in economy and per capita income due to a modern economy. However, this growth was not optimal due to adoption of “License Raj”. This meant that you needed the license in order to do virtually anything. For instance you could ...

A very important issue in inter-cultural communication is the varied difference in the gestures and practices across cultures of the world. For Americans it is quite troublesome that the peace sign is actually taken as showing the finger in nations like United Kingdom, South Africa and Australia. Actually, the palm needs to face outwards so that an individual is not mistaken in this context.

In the United States of America, thumbs up is taken as a common positive gesture, while in Iran the gesture as the worst possible insult and hence it needs to ...

Indians and Europeans inhabited a world of villages rather than of empires and they thought locally rather than globally. The rhythms and rituals of planting and harvesting meant more to most people than did timetables for the transfer of territory. That is not to suggest they lived in idyllic rural communities unaware of their place in a larger, world, only that communities were small by modern standards and paid most attention to the things that most immediately affected them. The regions people inhabited set them apart from and sometimes set them in tension with other regions, but their orbits overlapped and ...

India is among the fast emerging economies that has attracted interest of Multi National Co-operations (MNCs) for investment. The main driver of this is basically the growing population in India, which makes India the second most populated country, this coupled with its growing economy makes India a lucrative venture for Multi National Enterprises (MNEs) .

A Comparison between UK and India

Abstract

Stress has been part of human life ever since the beginning of mankind. Initially, people stressed themselves out hunting for food, finding places to rest, and inexplicability of natural phenomena. With the globalisation of industries and the presence of multinational companies all over the world, organizations may need to consider adopting certain policies to match up to other similar organizations. Stress in organisations has become a major issue in the UK and most organisations now have policies and procedures to help employees avoid this and interventions are often in place to support them. It is not known whether ...

Colonization is a situation where powerful and established countries enforce their rule in some of the developing countries. This was most popular in the past where the European countries would rule over African and Asian countries. Decolonization is the opposite of colonization. These countries that were under the rule of other powerful countries got to a point where they fought to rule themselves. This independence is called decolonization. Decolonization is very important in the history of the world. Through the decolonization of Asia, most african countries were motivated to fight for their frreedom and is the main reason why these countries ...

- Hindu Rights and Rituals: Describe Hindu worship and the role it plays within the Hindu Religion

Puja is a term that directly refers to Hindu worship, which is practiced primarily on an individual basis (“Worship (Hinduism),” 2005). Such is in line with the premise of Hinduism, which emphasizes on the value of personal experience in terms of its worship (Kreeft, n.d.). Deities in Hinduism are worshipped privately, such that it involves the supplication of personal offerings made by worshippers. Gods are typically chosen for worship according to preference, their images displayed at homes and are given incense, water ...

In the beginning of the semester, I wrote on the Discussion Board that even though I am from Asia and people may think that I am familiar with religions of Asia, I did not have much understanding of various religious faiths in Asia. Because I have never believed or practiced any religion in my whole life, I did not have much interest about religions of Asia or elsewhere.

However, since I first saw the video about the Ramayana, I started to gain some interest in religion. I thought that religion might be amiable and interesting given that some ...

History is filled with examples of violent revolutions accomplishing what non-violent revolutions likely never would have accomplished. Whether it is the French Revolution from 1789 to 1799, the Nazi party’s goal for worldwide dominion, or the struggle in South Africa to shake off the chains of apartheid, violent revolutions have led to profound changes where non-violent civil disobedience probably would have failed.

While proponents of non-violent revolutions often cite the likes of Martin Luther King and Mahatma Gandhi as examples of freedom fighters who chose brains over brawn, ...

To this day they still pass down stories to their children around camp fires to keep ...

The historical facts regarding the interaction of Africans and native Indians are not well documented. Still, there is great evidence in the form of artifacts, the religious systems and architecture that point to the possibility of Africans having interacted with the Americas people long before Europeans got there (Smallwood, 1999). The pyramids found in Egypt are similar to those found in Central America and the ancient form of writing used by Native Americans was similar to that of ancient Egyptians. Indeed, Columbus crew gave accounts of coming across people of African descent among the Indian tribes when they reached ...

Introduction

The Indian Freedom movement, is epochal and has probably set a tone for resistance movements across the world. The passivity and non-violence principles including those of paining self in form of going without food for days has set a trend in resistance movements. Truth, honesty, simplicity and dedication were the hallmark of the Indian independence movement. It is strongly believed across the world and definitely in India that it was the dedication of Mahatma Gandhi and the other freedom fighters that led to the freedom of the nation.

There were many others who contributed to the freedom struggle across the nation ...

There are several nations across the world, which experience social inequality based on their income. On the contrary, India is one such country that divides the people depending upon their caste. Caste system has been abolished in India according to the educated intellectuals, but the reality is quite the opposite. After India received its independence, the Indian constitution took steps on the discrimination of caste in the public. However, even in the present time, caste ranking is common in the rural areas. In terms of kinship and marriage, caste system plays a very important role in India than in personal ...

Andre Jackson was the seventh president of the United States of America. Following his biography, he was orphaned at a tender age of fifteen and had his life to live without the care of parents. According to Remini, Jackson could not have existed if not for the Native Americans, but his life was connected to the Indians. It is evident that he fought alongside the Indians and on other cases he fought them (Remini 14). He was the key negotiator of the Indian lands and contributed in advising negotiators how to get the land from the Indians. Jackson had two ...

First Nations and Indian Peoples

Different cultures have different beliefs, methods, communication, and medication used for different illnesses. Such medication and its methods in a particular contradict greatly with the modern medicine and procedures. In the Asian Culture, the Indians have a rich history of medication and practices.

Word of mouth is the most used method of passing ...

India: The Unemployment Black Hole

Outsourcing is one of the business strategies usually incorporated by companies with the aim of cutting costs and also employing expertise that is not available within the company (Bragg, 2006). However, from the perspective of the American and European companies, the strategy has distinct advantages and disadvantages. First, outsourcing is imperative because it enables the foreign companies to acquire labor in India at affordable costs since India produces approximately three million graduates a year. Thus, it creates employment in India. Examples of American companies that have outsourced some of their back-office services to India include HP, Intel, Microsoft, IBM, GE, ...

Question One: Significance of Proclamation Line of 1763

The Proclamation Line of 1763 was significant in that it asserted the Indians’ right to land. The proclamation sought to delineate the land that belonged to the Indians from the land that would be accessible and utilized by the colonists. In that vein, the line established the racial divide. In the interim, the proclamation gave the Indians a share of the land. The same should be understood in the context of the fact that the Indians would now be under the protection of the King. In addition, the colonists who had settled in the land reserved for the Indians were ...

1. Sheila´s challenges during her experience at the university were attributed to jean Paget’s theory of assimilation or accommodation. Sheila was challenged in college with regards to attaining equilibrium due to her inability of being able to assimilate new experiences within the realm of her existing schemata.

Sheila’s dyslexia also was one of the driving forces behind her behavior. She did not have the schemata required for adaptation for information processing due ...

While measured in terms of current dollar purchasing power, Japan is the second largest economy in the world, as of the year 2012. However, a recent survey by the World Bank, as of May 2014, India surpasses Japan as the third largest economy, right after U.S and China. Thus, on a PPP (purchasing power parity) basis, India holds a 6.4 percent of the global GDP. Trailing behind is Japan, which holds a 4.8 percent of the global wealth. This is a stark contrast to the World Bank’s report in 2011, which held India in the 10th place .

The history is comparable to Andrew Jackson and the Cherokees, Hernando Cortes and the Aztecs, the English colonists in America and the Powhatans, etc. Zinn’s style of history telling ...

The Bhagavad Gita and One Thousand and One Nights are two of the most important works of Eastern literature and philosophy; not only do they tell fascinating stories full of intrigue and entertainment, they also provide a degree of enlightenment and insight that is completely unlike anything seen in Western literature. Both stories handle the idea of storytelling and character, as well as plot structure, in extremely innovative ways, showcasing the ways in which unorthodox ways to tell stories can help to convey large ideas of faith, virtue and the universe. While the Bhagavad Gita relies centrally on one conversation ...

I am responding to an article dated 16th December, 2013 posted on Articlesbase under the caption health medical tourism written by Sanjaygupta. It is entitled ‘Go Surrogacy India a place to where dreams come true.’ The author’s argument advances that the options offered for surrogacy in Indian are phenomenal because the process is 100% successful; far less expensive than when conducted in United States of America and other developed countries; laws are more parent-friendly; quality of treatment is internationally compatible and surrogates are easier to find (Sanjaygupta, 2013).

Review of the 21st Century Elderly in India

A casual observation reveals that current senior citizens in India lead healthy, honorable, and satisfying lives. After retirement from regular job, they work full day or part-time. Many have sufficient savings, travel to places, learn and use computers, use empowering technology like internet, and live with integrity as active members of the community. On the other side, it is observable that many elderly retire without a pension, provident fund or even savings. Some are exposed to health hazards, lack access to basic healthcare, and suffer abuse and neglect from their kith and kin. This pathetic situation is unacceptable, and should ...

Business

America is a nation that is full of different cultures and values depending upon different kinds of people, and each one of the diverse culture is valuable and unique in its own way. Without even one of the element in this diverse culture, the package is incomplete. This diverse nature of culture is what sets America apart from all other nations and keeps life going at America. (Le, H 2013)

The diverse culture that America holds is what makes the nation strong; otherwise America would have been just another average nation like the others. The culture that prevails in America acknowledges ...

The Indian Act in Canada was enacted to recognize the rights of registered Indians, their bands and the system of the Indian reserves.

Compare the treatment of indigenous peoples by the Spanish in Mexico and the French and British in North America

The Spanish used techniques that caused the Indian, who were the natives of Mexico during the period, to fight against each other. This enabled them to conquer the Aztecs, who were the most dominant community in the region. When the Aztecs were defeated by the Spanish in 1521, Hernando Cortes placed policies that needed the Indians to give silver and other precious metals to the administration that took over. They used force when it came to forcing the natives to pay their dues. Encomendaros was also responsible with the converting of the Indians to Christianity while under supervision. This ...

The note was very fascinating and interesting to read. The author depicted on his curiosity and interest of reading. The content is perfectly very well written and to the point. The author is clear in his description of how he became a writer in spite of all the obstacles he had to go through. I completely agree to the points the author narrates in the novel. He uses phrases and repetition of words makes the reader get more involved into the subject matter. The use of the metaphor ‘thickness of the door that must be broken through’ implies to ...

Around the World in Eighty Days is an early example of an adventure novel written by Jules Verne (1873). Although now best known for his science fiction, this adventure novel set at the time of its publishing was Verne’s most popular work during his lifetime (Lottman, 1995). This story glorifies the recent advances in transportation and brings the newly opened world, now made smaller and more assessable, to the attention of a popular readership. It is difficult in this time of globalization and instant ability to communicate anywhere in the world to try to perceive how adventuresome and amazing ...

Chapter 16 – World War II

Zinn begins this chapter by posing a series of questions. Was World War II a people’s war as it had been claimed at the time? Why did the US really enter the war? How much did the imperialist powers of the day differ from Nazi Germany in terms of racism?

Zinn’s views are extremely interesting, considering that even today, these are issues people hardly ever discuss or even learn. We learn at school that the American intervention was caused by Hitler’s atrocities and the extreme loss of human lives in Pearl Harbor, but never about the real motives ...

QUESTION 1: Why does Microsoft’s traditional strategy of “one-size-fits-all” not work well in emerging markets like India? What is different about these markets? How do customers differ both in their characteristics and in the way they use technology?

Microsoft employs a globalization strategy which entails the standardization of all products despite the market that it is targeting thus the “one-size-fits-all” tag, this strategy works on the premise that all markets have the same requirements thus the standardization.

- Which, if any, of your food choices were influenced by emotions (happiness, boredom, or disappointment, for example)?

While I chose to eat the specific food items which I consume daily, at the evening I felt like having a chocolate. I soon went out to the store and grabbed one from there. I relished it on my way back. In retrospect, I believe that I made the choice of going for a chocolate as I was feeling quite bored sitting at home all day and playing computer games. The chocolate made me get over the boredom and I felt happy.

Cause of Bacon’s Rebellion

This is the war against the Indian tribe traders and Virginia Government, which was led by Nathaniel Bacon, an immigrant in Virginia. One of the many reasons why the war exploded is that settlers in the western part of Virginia were asking protection from the government against the Indian traders as there were kidnappings and killings that happened during the trading period. Indian tribes were Virginia’s trading partners, who gave an extra income to the government and to Governor Berkeley and his associates themselves.

This was the main reason why the Governor did not want to act against ...

Brown, Judith M. and Parel, Anthony J., Eds. The Cambridge Companion to Gandhi. New York: Cambridge Univ. Press, 2011.

Since Gandhi’s death in 1948, a wide range of perspectives have been expressed concerning his personal, political and socio-cultural influence both in India and on the international stage.

The compilation is divided into two parts, the first being concerned with Gandhi’s early life and personal and professional development. The second part focuses on Gandhi’s personal philosophy as expressed through his writings and teachings. As such, ...

Introduction

The United Kingdom (UK) is among the few nations in the world that has achieved the status of being a “great power”. One could succinctly describe a great power as a nation that has the ability to impose its influence across the globe, counting on strengths in the aspects of political, military and economic power. A great power usually finds classification between a first-order power like the United States of America (US) and a third-order power (regional power) like South Africa, Poland and South Korea (Louden, 2007, p.187). Thus, in speaking about the UK being a great power, one could possibly not help but ...
