Introduction

Globalization and modernization refer to the influence that modern nations have on non-developed or traditional nations and societies. At times, these influences result from direct contact, such as the opening of a Western corporate office or manufacturing plant in an underdeveloped nation.

As an African country, the wide belief of Kenyan community in the occult and/or supernatural had determined their earliest conceptual explanations of illness and disease.

There is a wide variety of ways one can view towards differences across cultures. On a micro level, one could look at how families interact in distinct ways across cultures.

The environment within which a culture is created affects how conflicts are resolved. This essay analyzes the differences in conflict resolution between Icelandic and Kenyan culture.

This is the reason why the education system has undergone many changes since independence in 1963.

Like any other sector; banking, trade, and commerce have evolved to embrace the use of technology in different ways. Unlike the traditional settings, where cash was the only accepted means of payments, these sectors have simplified money into different forms. However, while technology has been significant in the expansion of the scopes of markets through different payment methods, mostly electronic forms, the technological developments in the banking industry have equally added risks and created problems in transactions including fraud, cybercrime, and money laundering among other crimes. Nevertheless, the impacts of technology on the efficiency transactions have been significantly noted ...

Many African people loved and even cherished as well as valued their traditional foods and drinks. They always adored their culture more than foreign culture. For instance, in the mid 1930s in Gold Coast a traditional drink known as akpeteshie was introduced and distilled from sugar cane juice. Additionally, the distillation of local akpeteshie drink spread across the Gold Coast region in Ghana at a faster pace (Akyeampong 216). After the invasion of Europeans colonialism in African states, the colonists took over everything which made them to mistreat the native in their own land.

If I could take an all expense paid trip to any destination in the world for two weeks, I would choose to go to the Sub Saharan African countries to experience the beauty of nature. I would specifically go to Kenya because of its rich variety of parks ...

African leaders and presidents are seriously considering pulling out en masse from the being signatories to the Rome Statute that formed the International Criminal Court (ICC) based at The Hague, Netherlands. This follows their dissatisfaction with what they allege to be a bias on the part of the court against cases touching on Africans. A case in point is where the president of Kenya, Honourable Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta and his deputy, William Samoei Ruto, both of whom face serious war crimes and crimes against humanity perpetrated in Kenya’s bloodiest post-election violence of 2007/2008, have been denied immunity by virtue ...

How elections may lead to political violence

Introduction Elections are supposed to function as a peaceful means for making decisions and settling political differences. However, they do not always function in this way: sometimes, they trigger political violence. Especially ethnically divided societies are often thought to be prone to such dynamics. This paper presents a comparative analysis of the 2007 Kenyan elections and the 2006 and 2011 elections in Zambia. Working with these cases, it asks, first, whether the presence of ethnic diversity must lead to violence around election time. In a second step, the paper gives an analysis of under what conditions ethnic diversity tends to lead ...

Introduction

Political contests should be peaceful processes which do not divide people along ethnic lines or worse still- cause violence. In parts of Africa this is not always the case. Rampant populism in Africa in political competition has led leaders to mobilize across ethnicities (Eifert, Miguel and Posner 494) even leading to post-election violence in countries like Kenya. There is a deeper perception of other factors surrounding ethnicity as a cause of violence such as historical economic injustices, faulty electoral system, voter numbers and political influence as well as political disagreements (Eifert, Miguel and Posner 495). This makes political victory to have ...
