. This essay on Orwell’s work in question will seek to examine the striking theme of guilt and shame as depicted by the author in his writing, as well as the painful, contradictory nature of his own feelings versus actions. Orwell, at the time of writing, was a British policeman in the country of Burma in south east Asia dominated by the rule of the British Empire, and here begins the first contradiction given his subsequent reputation as a crusader against such a political system. The essay will examine three aspects of the essay in relation to guilt and ...

Abstract

After conducting analysis of the literature, it is possible to provide the following classification of the managerial and medical approaches towards the drug and alcohol treatment of aboriginal women: drug treatment, development of the personal skills among the target population as well as practical implementation of the therapeutic strategies, which are mainly based on the cultural and social contexts of such women. There is a considerable difference in terms of availability of such services for the Aboriginal populations and non-Aboriginal populations. For instance, those women, who are not referred as representatives of indigenous population, have an access to the ...

A health system entails all programs, institutions, resources, procedures and personnel that are used by a country to meet the health needs of its citizens. The essence of a health system is to promote and restore the health of the population (WHO, 2014). Furthermore, an efficient health care system is always committed to the provision of quality care services to the citizens. According to Amce (2014), health systems vary from country to country. However, we have common elements like training of the physicians, robust funding, policies, health informatics and medical logistics. According to Kalisch (2014), the Australian health system ...

Charles Wilkinson and his famous book “Blood Struggle: The Rise of Modern Indian Nations” provide a brilliant description of the life of American Indians and how Indian tribes' could lose their sovereignty in the 1950s that was the turning point in the history of Indian nations. The author of the book characterizes Indians as passive victims of dark pages of their history. In fact, the author provides the description of separate stories which prove how American Indians became the active creators of their own history and moved from dispossession and darkness to well being and flourishing. Wilkinson accurately demonstrates ...

Issues in Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance: A Case Study of PharmaCARE’s Activities in Colberia

Issues in Law, Ethics and Corporate Governance: A Case Study of PharmaCARE’s Activities in Colberia As the PharmaCARE case scenario reveals, a number of multinational companies have more often than not found themselves being heavily vilified globally for their failure in social responsibilities, corporate governance and ethics. This has particularly been the case with mining companies in oil and other mineral rich countries in Africa whereby these companies have exploited the vulnerability of the local populations to their business advantage. Their business activities have led to serious environmental destruction and pollution, raising major concerns about the health and ...

European colonization of the North America began in the 15 century when John Cabot reached the northern part of the island of Newfoundland and declared it the possession of the English crown. The meeting of Europeans with indigenous people of North America was followed by both not equal fight, and interaction. However, as a result of this racial and cultural mixing was born and began to develop a new civilization. The colonists did not find gold in the new lands and therefore, their development differed from the Spanish conquest and at the first stage was peaceful. Before the colonization ...

(Name and A#) Colonialism had long reaching effects on indigenous cultures, economic systems, literature, and religions. Of those four, religions were the most personal and the most stubborn to change. It was not until the late 18th and early 19th centuries that the British first contacted the Buddhist religion. For the British, it was a bit of a shock to find a civilization willing to accept their rule and yet, a religion so constant and resilient as to be able to reject Christianity while absorbing bits and pieces of the religion and the British culture into their own. The ...

On September 13, 2007 the United Nations (UN) embraced an international instrument entitled the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). Consisting of 46 articles, this document was created to protect and promote the rights of the worlds’ indigenous populations that were not defended in other human rights legislation (University of British Columbia, indigenousfoundations.arts.ubc.ca). James Anaya, the UN Special Rapporteur on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, claims this document is unparalleled in its scope and breadth. Therefore, this paper will discuss the history and reasoning behind the declaration’s creation, why it was necessary to adopt ...

Introduction

The contact between the European and Indigenous people led to many points of conflict and clashes. The indigenous people for this are the Indians in America. The conflict of the Indian cultural and religious beliefs with the Christianity and European cultures made it almost impossible for the existence of the two groups of people without conflicts. The Hindu religion clashed with the Christianity leading to conflicts and differences between the Europeans and Indians in America (Tompkins 8-10). The differences in cultural background between the Europeans and the indigenous people led to many grounds of conflicts. The attitudes and perceptions ...

Within the PharmaCARE scenario outlined in this situation, several different stakeholders can be found. The key characteristics of a stakeholder primarily involve having some sort of vested interest in the company’s success and future; their financial success and/or livelihood must depend on the company doing well and succeeding. Stakeholders are typically very aware of the actual actions of an organization, and so organizations must work hard to ensure that they are happy in order to maintain their own success and legitimacy. In order to understand the full consequences of an organizational change or scenario, the stakeholders must be identified. ...

Stakeholders Stakeholders in a business environment are not merely those who have a stake in the profitability of the business entity.

Australia, being both a country and a continent, is home to different races of mankind. And among the white people that we have known as the common faces of Australians today, Indigenous or Aboriginal people also occupy a space. Aboriginal people were the primary inhabitants of Australia before its colonization in late 1700s by the European mariners (Australian Government, 2008:web). Up until this day, Australian Indigenous population is struggling very hard to preserve the culture they once established. Nowadays, Indigenous people of Australia, closely adhering to their culture, are the modern faces of poverty and discrimination in the land they once considered ...

Throughout this class, I have learned many different things about the aborigines and their history. When I began learning more things about them, it was hard to believe how much I did not know. Of course, I was at a relative disadvantage to other students because I am not an Australian native, nor was I born anywhere near Australia. I am an Asian student, studying internationally. Though I am learning more about the world every day, through my studies and through my life experiences, the Australian aborigines were one portion of history that otherwise would have gone unknown to me, ...

Based on Davis and Menchaca’s research, what was the significance and effect of the casta system and the one-drop rule on contemporary society? The Casta System was a racial order that the Spanish introduced through which Mexico’s Population came to be legally distinguished based on racial segregations (Menchaca, p. 62). The basic reason behind this system was to disallow and prescribe legal rights to individuals and to assign the members of the society social privileges through the distinctions based on parental origin, which became a legal method of allocating economic and social privileges to the population especially in ...

For Spain, the voyages of Christopher Columbus and his successors were positive in the sense that they opened up a New World and gave that country the largest empire in the world, but they were a disaster for the Native Americans. Within 100 years, the Native population of the islands Columbus visited had been reduced to zero because of warfare, disease and slave labor. This also occurred in Mexico and Peru after they were conquered by Hernan Cortez and Francisco Pizarro in the 1520s and 1530s, to the point where the indigenous population fell 80-90% within a century. No one had really ...

Contemporary problems in the Guatemala Maya community

Introduction The Maya people consist of a wide range of indigenous American people mainly of northern Central America and the larger southern Mexico. The overriding term ‘The Maya people’ is a collective term, designed to include a diverse range of an ethnic group belonging to the same geographic region and who share some to some extend some degree of similarities in their cultural and linguistic heritage. However, from an historical or anthropological perspective, the term is considered to generalize a wide range of distinct communities, societies, populations, and or ethnic groups, which have their distinct historical identity, cultures, and traditions.

Introduction

The combined Gross Domestic Product (GDP) for China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and rose to $15.8trillion in 2008(International Monetary Fund estimates) which is impressive when compared to the G.D.Ps of U.S.A and Canada ($ 15.5trillion) and Europe ($ 14.8trillion). This spontaneous exponential growth can be attributed to population dynamics (nearly two third of the world’s population resides in Asia), economic markets and or/socio-political conditions (a fusion of capitalism and socialism/communism) and the work ethic of these Asian cultures among. This paper shall ascertain the role of each of these three major factors in the increased economic growth rate in ...

These short stories are both written in English and deal with the past history of Empire. However, they differ in significant ways as this essay will demonstrate and, in their differences, they exhibit very different views of European colonization. ‘An Outpost of Progress’ is very critical of the notion of colonialism, while ‘The Outstation’ sees colonization in a more benevolent light.

Conrad’s ‘An Outpost of Progress’ is set in the Belgian Congo towards the end of the 19th century. We can tell the colony is Belgain partly from the names of the characters (one is Flemish, the other French), ...
