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 ...

Since the republics in the Soviet Union proclaimed independence in 1991, there have been significant changes concerning the ethno cultural, and demographic situation.

Segregation is something that has literally separated people throughout history and as the world moves towards a more global and diverse model, the spread of anti-segregation initiatives follow. In a country as developed as the United States of America, and one that has led the way in stifling racial tensions since the Civil Rights Movements of the 1970’s, it seems absurd to think that in today’s racially and ethnically diverse society that these are still problems with segregation. The fact is, not only does segregation exist around the world in less developed countries, but it is something ...

Inequality is one of the greatest social problems as the result of the racism. The differences can be perceived not only economically, but also politically and is one of the major global challenges.

Question 1

Cultural leveling describes how people from different cultures approach each other and try to reach common grounds regarding communication and interaction. This process is evident in Lee’s ethnographic fieldwork. Coming from white society, the researcher exhibited arrogance and considered himself superior, both intellectually and culturally, to the !Kung bushmen. He did this by extending to or cutting off the supply of tobacco from the Bushmen since he was the only source of the commodity in 1000 square miles (Lee). Besides, he neither shared his food with the Bushmen nor participated in their food-gathering activities. For this reason, the ...

Advertisements are a definitive way to identify cultural norms and expectations in society in the modern day. Through the use of color, gender identification, and other various methods that help to target certain audiences, ads can penetrate and suffuse the waking hours of individuals in a manner that normal word of mouth and exposure cannot. Even through flashes and glances in which an individual notices an ad their attention will be taken in by the colors, the efforts at emphasizing gender, and the manner of identifying with what society thinks is normal. Advertisements lend an identity to society that ...

Communication is an important human aspect where mutually understood signs are employed to pass intended meanings between entities in visual, auditory or biochemically means. Visual detail and individualization of human appearance are used in identification which in turn is synthesised by the receiving entity. Through analysing physical traits such as the hair type, eye colour and skin colour, assumptions are made as to what race the individual could belong, unaware of any look enhancements. Racial profiling should therefore not be used as a basis for making assumptions about personal character and background as it could be misleading. Stereotyping is ...

THE ‘PROBLEM’

While the transgendered community has received a significant increase in visibility and representation in television in recent years, the trend is only just beginning. To date, few trans characters are portrayed as “dynamic” in media, with most media having a cisgendered (skewing toward people whose biological gender matches their identity) bias (Conrad 1). There is an increasing population of trans people who wish to have greater representation in their media, and the outlook is currently positive given the greater tolerance of LGBT people in mainstream American culture (Wellborn 66). However, this process is merely beginning. According to Hart, the ...

For people to understand fashion trends and their evolution and presence in the modern world, they need to have a keen understanding of fashion in the previous eras.

It is difficult to give a definition to happiness. It is possible to provide the attributes that define happiness. Some will say it is fame, reputation, financial stability, while the others claim happiness is to love and be loved, have a lot of friends, gain new knowledge, or to be inspired. The main issue is that definition of happiness is individual for every human being. People may believe that extrinsic goals and material things will make them happy and the others insist that intrinsic objectives are far more superior. There is a body of research suggesting that the happiness ...

Researchers and educationists would appreciate more knowledge concerning factors that may enhance or otherwise hinder deep involvement by students in contemporary learning processes (Jonassen & Land, 2012). The present society structure is leading to situations where adults and even older adults may continue to be expected to be productive within national labor forces.
