The British Isles, a group of islands in the Atlantic Ocean, is packed with mouth-watering and sumptuous food varieties. Countries that comprise the British Isles have followed entirely different paths. While Britain's cuisine has been shaped by its history of colonization, the cuisines of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales have predominantly developed as a weak/peasant cuisine that emphasized on survival than celebration. Despite different paths followed by these various countries, many aspects tie the modern day cuisine, and there are several classic dishes that are common to all nations. The Celtic connection has made many ties and links between the ...

Introduction

The idea of social inequality involves the existence of rather a biased or unjust level of opportunities as well as rewards in the cases of different positions and statuses within any social class. In most cases, such an inequality gets associated with varied dimensions of significance, including economic, wealth as well as the level of education among other critical aspects like power, schooling race alongside ethnicity as well as origin. Social inequality has major adverse effects on the wellbeing of others as it not only dehumanizes but also makes one feel out of place. In as far as Australia ...

William Bartram was a naturalist. His detailed consideration of the dress of the native inhabitants whom he observed provided the reader with a unique perspective of the importance of such decoration to their lives. Their decorative dress was not an everyday occurrence nor was it an indulgence afforded to everyone. It was reserved for special occasions such as weddings, dances and festival. Furthermore, fancy dress was a privilege reserved for the youth. Some of the “divertisments” of the native inhabitants are music and dance. Bartram states that their music is conducted both vocally and with instruments. He is not ...

Introduction

Urban sprawl has turned out to be a controversial issue in recent times due to the rate at which green spaces are disappearing in most of the cities, especially in the United States. Nnaemeka-Okeke (2016) describes urban sprawl as the expansion of a community devoid of concern for the environmental impact. In other words, urban sprawl is the uncontrolled expansion of the metropolitan areas. This phenomenon primarily results in the extinction of green spaces and a variety of environmental consequences. Banai and DePriest (2014) maintain that urban sprawl is considered a cause of the climate change, with environmental effects ...

Assignment 1: Charter of Privileges Granted by William Penn

What did the first article guarantee for the inhabitants of the province? What did it accomplish? The first article guaranteed to the inhabitants of the province the freedom of faith, freedom to choose whichever denomination, one preferred as well as entitled representatives of any such denomination to be equally eligible for occupying offices, both executive and legislative. However, the very wording of the Charter is a little bit tricky in relation to religion, because having in mind the condition of believing in the Only Almighty God that was stipulated by Penn in the Charter one can conclude that diversification ...

Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability.

Architecture of Madain Salih

One of the mysteries in the historical science of our time is the origin of the monuments Hegre in Saudi Arabia. In the historical literature, it is assumed that this city was built by the Nabataeans - the people, the basis of the life of which was to ensure the caravan trade. These people, who lived here from the III century BC to the I century BC, carved facades of tombs, built many kilometers of waterways in the rocks to collect rainwater and left behind a lot of mysteries about their religion and language (Khairy, 167).

In spite of the fact that the progressive projects/developments brought about noteworthy hardships — on the rustic populace (the Great Leap Forward, 1958-61) or the savvy people (the Cultural Revolution, 1966-76) — they both delivered solid accomplishments in the wide open that prompted amazing increases in horticultural generation and in individuals' lives. Conversely, the post-Mao time "changes" have come about so far in an enormous development of disparity in China, with the country populace enduring significantly by the destroying of open backing for wellbeing and training. What's more, neighborhood and territorial authorities have sold farmland for improvement purposes, more often than ...

Many people accept that it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes many people to raise a village as well. A town is one of the most complex systems that a person may imagine; however, it is just one unit, and all the people come together to work together in a similar manner. This obviously does not mean that people will always work towards the same goal, but that a town makes an intricate web in which the strands al relate to each other in a different way. Bridgeport: Tales from the Park City presents such ...

I. Introduction Researches argued that there was little evidence to accurately determine the early language in England. While the region was inhabited by humans for thousands of years, and that the presence of culture was detected, it was noted that the English language has been only adopted for a comparatively short span of time. History revealed that the English language we have today is a product of the different spoken dialects of the Germanic tribes who immigrated to England sometime in the 5th century. The development of the English language is comparable to a division of historical periods, and ...

1) What is the name of your city, town or village and where did this name come from? Note, there may also be an informal name, that is a name that local people refer to it. You may also discuss any name changes over time and the reasons for these name changes. In that case, if the word Veneti has the Indo-European origin, it means “famous”, but if we consider this word with the pre-Indo origin, it means “foreigners” or “new comers” (nuovi venuti). Perhaps the name of the Veneto is from the word “new comers”. In this case, ...

It is believed that Islam as a religion is designed for the urban community rather than is of a nomadic nature. However, it was shortly changed during nine AD when its religious role was replaced by political incentives when the Muslim world broke its ties with the caliphate in the East. It is also believed that Islam has had an enormous impact on the architecture of the cities it was once dominating (Saoud, 2002, p. 2). This essay is divided into four chapters: 1st part will compare and contrast the medieval European and Islamic cities between 9-13 centuries by ...

Importance of Entrepreneurial Activity to the UK Economy

Assignments 2 Introduction The constant growth and evolution of economic relations, both between countries and between entrepreneurs within a country, are requirements for the creation of new business forms. Entrepreneurship is an important, but not a sufficient factor in economic and social developments of countries (Waschik, Fisher and Prentice, 2010). However, if left uncontrolled by the state, entrepreneurship can become just as harmful as the administrative-command system in an economy. Entrepreneurship is essential for the development of a competitive economic environment; in order to give the final consumers the freedom of choice, but does not content with goods offered ...

The modern world is changing up so quickly, and getting connected with a really crucial speed. One of such sufficient processes is globalization.

The capital of Great Britain appears in works of different writers and poets for centuries. And all these authors created different images of London. Traditionally, people think about the river Thames, Big Ben, red two-storey buses, the Tower and other sightseeing attractions, when they hear about London. This list can be complemented with fog and grey paved streets. Author’s impression of London depended up their own experience and (or) general mood. That is why William Wordsworth and William Blake created totally different images of one city in their poems Composed Upon Westminster Bridge and London. The contrast is ...

Politics of nature

There is a new tendency nowadays. Practically each person is eager to lead such a lifestyle that is closer to nature.

We are accustomed to a cleaner technology of making the products. We call ourselves «new generation that is in harmony with the natural surrounding». Do we really know what the real nature is?

Importance of Entrepreneurial Activity to the UK Economy

Introduction Constantly growing and developing economic relations, both between countries and between participants within a country, are prerequisites for the creation of new forms of business. Entrepreneurship is an important, but not the only factor in economic and social development of many countries (Waschik, Fisher and Prentice, 2010). However, uncontrolled, no adjustable (wild) business (without the supervision of the state) is just as harmful as the administrative-command system. Entrepreneurship is essential for the development of a competitive environment, in order the final consumer of products has the right to choose, but does not content with goods offered to him/her ...

There is a wide accepted concept that after centuries of development, the Muslim world began to decline in the 15th century. Did it really decline?

Overview of Rasquache

The term rasquache originated from Mexico. Initially, it had a negative connotation among the indigenous Mexicans. Most people perceived it as an attitude of being impoverished or of a lower class. The Low-class people often get considers as low-value individuals in the social ladder. Most of them worked as slaves and servants throughout history. However, the Mexican art movement reversed this definition. Their efforts and hard work gave the term a newer and more appealing meaning. They managed to transform this low-class sensibility into an art. "Rasquachismo" mainly focuses on the professional and material limitations that most artists face ...

In order to define ‘economic development’, I have looked into the literature on the subject to subsidize my answer. I have looked particularly into the works of Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016) and Rahnama-Moghadam, Samavati, & Dilts (1995). Acemoglu, Laibson, & List (2016, p. 205) indicate that the term less developed country (LDC) fosters images of backwardness, poverty, and lower levels of technological sophistication. They claim there is some truth in these images but, nonetheless, there is a broad range of countries that are correctly described as being less developed. One country has not reached the known levels of financial well-being that ...

Introduction

The Berlin Conference of 1884 to 1885 which is also referred to as the Congo Conference signified a powerful role in the regulation of European colonization as well as free trade in parts of Africa during the period of neo-imperialism. One of the outward goals of the conference was to implement regulations on the rampant colonization of Africa in order to prevent the military conflict between the colonizing states. It is to be noted that colonial powers went into what historians coined as the ‘Scramble for Africa’, where they decided to invade, occupy, divide and colonize the different parts ...

What will make a young man who has just completed higher education to migrate from the rural set up to an urban one?

Introduction

Seagrass beds are amongst the most productive marine habitats and their wide-ranging distribution. They provide homes and food sources for many marine animals, prevent erosion and provide nurseries for many commercial and recreational fish species. Despite their importance to the environment, seagrass beds are increasingly being decimated by the results of human activities. The destruction of seagrass beds may have serious consequences on the biodiversity of coastal regions and as a consequence, may negatively impact on commercial and recreational fishing, and ultimately all marine species.

The process through which the English settlers became Americans was twofold: they claimed North America as their home and cut ties with the mother country. First, the Red Indian tribes that existed throughout the lands claimed North America as their home, albeit in separate units. For that reason, confrontations that closely resembled a tug of war ensued because two distinct groups were vying for the same resources. Now, the assimilation of one faction by the other was impossible as their traditions differed greatly. Hence, it is no wonder that David Edmunds’ Tecumseh and the Quest for Indian Leadership revolves ...

“One Hundred Years of Solitude” (Cien Añosde Soledad) is a magical realist novel created by Gabriel García Márquez in 1967. This novel is referred to as the Don Quixote of Latin America because of its overwhelming popularity (Jay Corwin, 4). The novel does not have any clear and obvious philosophy that is why the perception of this novel is very individualistic. The tragic and mystique ending pushes to the idea that multiple aspects of life that are described in the novel are heavily criticized by García Márquez (Jay Corwin, 4). And one of these ...

Environmental regulations were something that people of the United States felt that they could live without. In fact, the mere idea of implementing laws that would change the ways humans interact with the environment was outrageous in a time when feeding the people was the most important challenge for society, lands were being cleared for lumber, agriculture, and roadways. It wasn’t that long ago that you could change your automobile’s oil over a storm drain, spray harmful pesticides such as DDT, and build elementary schools above old landfills.

The city of Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, has long been revered as a beautiful and wealthy city. The tourist attraction boasts of “lush tropical landscapes implanted in its desert” and supports a local population of over 2.5 million people.

Appalachia is a region lying in Eastern North America. The significance of this region’s geographical boundaries do not exist only because of the legally defined limits; rather it is the region’s historical, cultural and environmental conditions of the Appalachian region (The Alliance for Appalachia).

GROUP DISPLACEMENT ACROSS THE MIDDLE EAST

Latest decades have seen an alarming growth on involuntary displacements of populations due to a wide set of reasons. In the Arab World, most literature has agreed upon focusing towards population movement caused by political conflicts that led to war. The extent of this phenomenon becomes evident after realizing its scope: Syrians, Palestinians, Lebanese and Egyptians have been the target of displacement caused by wars fought by the Arab and Israeli. It’s important not to look at this phenomenon as a mere isolated event, but more of a process that keeps developing. More recently, the occupation of parts ...

Sumer was located in the southernmost region of ancient Mesopotamia. The location is present day Iraq and Kuwait. The place derives its name from the Akkadian language of North Mesopotamia. The inscription means the land of civilized kings. The Sumerians called themselves the black-headed people and therefore the land was land of the black-headed people in its simplest existence (Roaf, 2009). The Sumerian region was claimed to have been inhabited at first during the period 4500BCE. This has brought a point of contention as human activity had been purported to have taken place much earlier. Archaeological evidence provides these ...

The Writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Casas

The Writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Casas In the half-century following Christopher Columbus’ arrival in the so-called “New World” of the Western Hemisphere, millions of indigenous peoples were slaughtered, hundreds of villages had been destroyed, and a hundred-year-old empire had fallen. Though all of these events took place at the hands of Spanish conquistadors, contemporary narratives of this tragic moment in history vary. In the early sixteenth century writings of Hernan Cortes and Bartolome de las Cases, two divergent views of the native population of the Americas and the justification for Spanish conquest emerge. This paper ...

Nowadays, the struggle against the use, dissemination, and production of drugs is quite severe. Despite the fact that so-called War on Drugs has been launched in 1971, it seems like there was no serious developments in this direction. Since the development of this campaign, loads of taxpayers’ funds were invested to this fight, a lot of people were detained, and tons of substances confiscated. The War led to the militarization of the police and involvement of the military into the raids on multiple occasions. One of the main issues here is the focus of the authorities on a specific ...

Even though the growth of its inhabitants has been decreasing in the last decades, there is still a huge challenge facing people.

Trinidad and Tobago is one of the most multi-ethnic islands of the planet. The descendants of African and European settlers formed a culture of "black Trinidadians", while the descendants of mixed marriages often call themselves as French Creoles, although there are Spanish, Portuguese, Scottish and English roots present in their ancestry. As a result, a mixture of different groups there formed a motley multicultural nation, which is often called Trinidadian, although it is based on the nations and culture from almost all over the globe.
