Analysis describing your thoughts about the photographs in relation to their subject, form, content, and meaning.

The four photos show some sort of movement which is captured by an unobtrusive medium. This is because the human subjects in the photos have their back turned to the camera and appear unaware of the photographer. They represent a moment in time in a busy day as people in different occupations go about their duties. The short shadows of the various people or forms captured in these photos indicate that they were all captured either just before or just after midday in natural light.

The use of perspective to indicate distance and depth is done successfully. This helps to capture ...

The Obama’s administration completely buried the report of some people paying more for health care charges. The government waited on Friday afternoon and then dumped the news just late at the end of the week. This paper outlines a detailed article entitled What Obama Won’t Say.
It was reported on 25th February 2014 that a total of eleven million workers who were engaged in small business were likely to pay an extra amount compared to others to cater for their health insurance under the Act of Affordable Care. This was a report conducted and analyzed from the ...

Derek Pearsall’s essay “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight: An Essay in Enigma” is part of The Chaucer Review’s commemorative issue celebrating the work of C. David Benson as he approaches the age of retirement. Pearsall hearkens back to his master’s thesis days when he writes about Sir Gawain and the Green Knight; he begins by noting that even though he is quite familiar with the plot of this tale, to the point where he can tell a slightly less salacious version of the tale to his children and grandchildren. However, he also points out that ...

In gender theory the concept of women as a unified, homogeneous group is challenged through the theory of intersectionality. This theory states that the status of being female is not the only defining characteristic in oppression. As opposed to there being a unified experience of “female oppression” which defines all oppression experienced by women, oppression is defined by the interaction of gender with factors such as class, sexuality and culture (Carbado, 2013).

The movie Pariah displays a number of intersectional facets that interact to create identity. Gender and sexuality are the most obvious intersectional factors explored in the movie. However, Alike’ ...

Introduction

There are fundamental gender differences in organizational management styles, values, leadership strategies and policy preferences, which constitute barriers to women’s ascendancy to the highest levels of leadership. These differences not only condition women’s leadership/managerial styles, but also shape the effectiveness of any such styles, which in turn reflect on their participation in public administration. This paper distils the existent conceptual, theoretical and empirical models on public administration, gender disparities, and underlying factors that prevent women’s upward mobility as well as the subsequent effect on organizational outcomes. Ultimately, however, management and leadership styles in any context continue ...

“Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits” was written by Suki Kim in 2004 and is an extract from a wider publication by Roen, Glau and Maid, (2010). In her work, Kim noted how difficult it was for her as a young girl to adjust to a completely different lifestyle following the bankruptcy of her previously wealthy father and a subsequent escape to America. This is her most important point because it is the most repeated theme in the article. Other main points in the work are summarized in the ensuing paragraphs.
Kim stressed on the mishaps she faced regarding racism. ...

These three essays deal with vastly different topics. The first essay, entitled “Back to Square One” is less of an essay, and more of a creative writing piece; it follows the life of a family living in Tijuana, Mexico. The family is well-to-do, and lives in a nice, secluded house on a hillside outside of the city. The husband of the family is a policeman, in charge of the anti-corruption and anti-drug unit of the local police, and the mother is a stay-at-home housewife responsible for the care of their young daughter. Both the mother and the father are living in fear over potential ...

In this article, the unique and specific patterns of cultural and genetic diversities of the Native Americans have been identified and this information is used to understand geographic dispersion patterns as well as the relationship between these people. Of these, the Tupi and Je speaker dispersions are the most important ones. Currently a lot of people speak the stock of these two languages. Although the Tupi expansion can be compared to Bantu migration in Africa, very little is known about this event as compared to others. The Je-speaker’s expansion has an equal and even deeper gaps and this study ...

The essay “Farm Girl”, written by Jessica Hemauer, is one that is full of wisdom and detail about a little girl growing up on a farm and how her time spent doing chores there has helped her to prepare for most of life’s great difficulties (Hemauer, 2011). She writes this essay with such experience and confidence in her knowledge and emotions while describing daily duties such as waking up at 5:00 a.m. at ten years old and “cleaning out various huts and pens.” This essay significantly describes the emotions and responsibilities in the life of a farm girl (Hemauer, ...

In Berger et al.'s "Aspirin for the Primary Prevention of Cardiovascular Events in Women and Men," the researchers performed a meta-analytical review to determine whether or not there was a gender-based difference in the risks and advantages experienced when aspirin is used to treat cardiovascular disease.

In this study, a number of studies from the MEDLINE and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases were analyzed, in addition to bibliographies of the selected trials and major scientific reports. The inclusion criteria included those studies which were randomized and controlled trials of aspirin therapy for those people who did not ...

Video Review: Gates Foundation: Giving A Fortune Away

Video Review: Gates Foundation: Giving A Fortune Away
After viewing the video on the Gates Foundation, looking at their criteria for planning, implementation, and evaluation, and seen some of the initiatives on their website, what did you find surprising?
Actually, what was surprising to me was the humility and deep commitment that was exhibited by Melinda Gates on the work being done in the foundation. Specifically, she stressed that she really wanted to be hands-on or doing the travel to see for herself, the extent of misery and need that the people they earmarked to help currently ...

Morgan, Jana, Rosario Espinal, and Jonathan Hartlyn. 2008. “Gender politics in the Dominican Republic: Advances for women, ambivalence from men.” Politics & Gender 4 (January): 35-63.
Article by Morgan and Hartlyn analyzes the political participation of women in the Dominican Republic between1994-2004 and explains the gender gap. Authors presented two concepts such as traditional and modern gender gap. Four national public surveys of 1994, 1997, 2001, and 2004 were used as the main source of data. Authors analyzed the gender gap by surveying the public opinion on interest in politics, civic engagement and whether the women are supported ...

Introduction

I chose this article because it examines the fundamental issues in contemporary society. This is so because it examines the cultural ideologies that degrade the old age in society. These cultural norms are motivated by the media, which attribute the female body with consumer culture. Therefore, society should realize that aging is a sense of maturity and should embrace it as a Self-identities associated to the appearance and performance of the bodies. Similarly, aging should be based on feminist and gender ideologies because it cut across gender, race and class in various societies.

Summary

The article uses a feminist approach to explore aging ...

- Identify the research method used in accumulating the data which served as the basis for this article. What were the strengths and weaknesses of the research method?
This article is based on both theoretical research and practical research. The research has used the meta-analysis research method which is an analytical technique which aims at analyzing results of multiple analyses. The meta-analysis design relies on heterogeneity and availability of information. Its limitations are the possibility of collection of homogeneous information which is hard to compare. The accuracy of the results to be compared is also a determining factor in ...

Costs for a spot during Super Bowl prove that we may see the most grand, compelling, and creative ads of the year. Unfortunately, that is not always the case. For this assignment, I have chosen to analyze a Super Bowl ad for the new Hyundai Elantra. The video features Johnny Galecki, one of the stars of popular TV series The Big Bang Theory. He stops on the red light in the new Elantra, near a woman, who is also driving the new Elantra, and tries to flirt with her. The woman coldly neglects him right away, but he follows her anyway, trying ...

Black and Female Reflections on Graduation School by bell hooks, it is clear that black female students, particularly her, had to deal with racial prejudice throughout their college life. From the essay, it is clear that white professors made life difficult for the black female students to such an extent they would ignore them in class and give discriminatory comments in class. At the time, it seemed as the worst mistake of a person’s life time to pursue a degree in English in white dominated universities in the United States of America. The worst was yet to come because finding ...

Is evolution Phycology really value free?

While most people may be familiar with the evolution of species, few individuals may not know the new branch of physiology, which is known as evolutionary physiology (EP). Evolutionary biology deals with adaptation of physical parts such as limbs, tail, and organs. On one hand, evolutionary physiology deals with the evolution of human thought, behavior, and language. The subject has been faced by severe critics where people against EP believe that it has no value but entirely relies on social and cultural behaviors of human. The author of this paper champions that, EP, unlike to the biological evolution; rely ...

The two dangerous assumptions that are held in the research in gender different include the following. The assumption that, if we find a sex differences in some ability or kind of behavior, that means that all males do a particular thing and all females do some quite different thing ( for example, all men are aggressive, and all females are passive and peace-loving). Test scores of males and females overlap and thus, finding a sex difference does not mean that all women are one way and all men are one way. Therefore, knowing ones sex cannot possibly be used to predict the behavior ...

Delays at S.B.A. Harm Program for Women
According to a government survey in 2007, the disarray of miscommunication inside the Small Business Administration considerably delayed some federal grants to women’s business centers, which annually help very many women to start up self-owned enterprises (Olson, 2007). In this article published on the New York Times, the author indicates that the lag in the agency’s delivery of federal funds forced part of the 98 women’s business centers to send their staff packing. Giving data from the audit by the S.B.A. inspector general’s office, the article indicates that ...

Introduction

Women have been exploited through the Hip-hop culture by men artists who ascribe them as sexual objects. According to Joan Morgan, and Ayanna's writings about women exploitation, it is evident that a large percent of women have engaged in Hip-hop music for fame and fortune. Hip-hop culture and ideas emerged from African-American and Latino-American young people who exhibited misogynistic traits against women. The misogyny aspect of Hip-hop culture is ascribed to discrimination practices against women, self-worth, and peer relations. The Hip-hop culture has embraced these misogynistic and exploitative practices against women. On the contrary, some women rappers have come out ...

Forrest, A. A. (1993). View from outside the wale: The treatment of women and unions in industrial relations. In Women challenging unions: feminism, democracy and militancy. Linda Briskin and Patricia McDermott, eds. Toronto, ON: University of Toronto Press.
This chapter explains how industrial relations as a female discipline suppressed women activism to almost invisible levels. Without doubt, this chapter delves on issues of gender, labor, work, and changes that have occurred in both academic cycles and policy in that period. The authors successfully make women activism visible while giving a brief history of involvement of women in unions. Unsuccessful visibility ...

Wang Yun’s play A Dream of Glory; talks about a woman who wants to become a man and display his powers before the world. Wang Yun, a Chinese dramatist of the eighteenth century, could have been influenced by a number of incidents that took place in China during the century. The patriarchal system must have played a dominant role in eighteenth century China where men had all the liberty to choose the life they wanted while women were confined to domestic roles. As the name of the play signifies, A Dream of Glory can be juxtaposed to the glorious life of men, and ...

Psychology

In their research “The emotional roots of conspiratorial perceptions, system justification, and belief in the paranormal”, Whitson, Galinsky and Kay (2014) addressed human emotions that are linked with the uncertainty of the world. They suggest a hypothesis that these emotions (such as fear, surprise, hope, etc.) should promote the need to endow the world with structure and order using a variety of compensatory measures.
The reason to conduct the experiments described in the article was a desire to prove that the certainty of the emotions plays a greater role than its valence in the process of activating compensatory control. Moreover, the experiments ...

Why do Drug Dealers still live with their Moms?

This chapter explains about the culture of drug which explores a fascinating perspective concerning about drugs in an extremely poor south Chicago neighborhood. It has also observed the daily activities and cause or effect actions with those long-drawn-out individual behaviors. The main concern of this chapter is to prove the mistaken misconception for those who are drug dealers and produce lots of money. It also describes about the incredible issues and troubles that have occurred with youths who have turned to the streets as they don’t have an option or parent to contribute in drug dealing. According to Levitt ...

Article Summary

In his article, ‘The Role of Woman in the Iconography of Art Nouveau’, which was published in the Art Journal in the winter of 1971-1972, Jan Thompson, examines how women were depicted in different forms of art during the late years of the 19th and early years of the 20th century. Thompson begins by asserting that Art Nouveau, as the art of that period is best known, was primarily concerned with depicting women and not men. These women however were mainly depicted, not as they really were, but ‘helpless’, ‘fragile’ and ‘desirable’ (Thompson, 158-159). The author suggests that as ...

Response Paper

The above is a confirmation and admission of sorts on the widely held view and conception of racism and gender specifications. It stems from the fact that there are certain jobs and occupations that are concerned to be common in certain races while others are not considered to be same. Specifically, it stresses on the fact that the immigrant workers especially the Asian and Latina women commonly secure jobs in areas of manufacturing. It includes being helps in restaurants, hotels, offices, convalescent homes, private residences, and others which are not regarded as highly in the human society. It is important ...

Jennifer Conlin, writer of “The Freedom to Choose Your Pronouns,” explores gender fluidity in teenagers and college aged students. She asserts that this is just another way teenagers are trying to go against the grain, but she also pairs this with showing that this is not just an American trend. During an interview, she recalls an individual’s example of gender fluidity by saying, “Maybe one day you wake up and feel more like a boy.” While this does not quite define the complexities of gender expression, it is one example that is easy for the general public to understand. ...

Research methods and sex differences, personality and culture

Researchers from the article have extensively used experimental research approach to analyze data on sex differences in personality traits. The research findings were developed from mathematical modeling and statistical inference. The experimental research used compares the data relationships between sex differences, personality and culture, showing correlation between these variables (Schmitt, Voracek, Realo, Allik, 2009). Data obtained through experimental approach is more reliable than descriptive approach that just gives observable qualitative data and gives hard support to correlational research.
A suitable alternative to the experimental method used would have been the correlational research approach. Correlational approach gives a causal relationship ...

Analytical Report on “Why I Want Women to Lean In”

The article that this report is going to analyze goes by the title of “Why I Want Women to Lean In”. The target article recorded the fact that the societies have grown flexible and tolerant towards working women in recent years, but still, the men are controlling the affairs from behind the scenes (Sandberg, 2). The claim does not appear to be valid because the females are having formal authority in different fields of life, and the author did not provide any tangible evidence that could have backed up her claims so we are not going to take her ...

Monique Wittig asserts that lesbians are not women. The argument has not only excited academic and non-academic interest, but perhaps most importantly, it defies dominant cultural definitions and categorizations of sexuality and gender. This argument also threatens the established theoretical structure of political work that is founded upon women’s identity, including feminism. There is effectively no natural categorization of women, and thus equally no natural subject matter upon which feminism could be founded. Hale questions the possibility that women do not exist outside the conceptual context of the heterosexual political regimes. Instead, Hale develops an alternative construction of ...

Article Identification

My choice in this article was informed by my interest in the diversity in the personality traits between men and women. I also wanted to understand whether the differences in the personality traits are as pronounced in all cultures as is the case in my culture. This article affords me this opportunity, more so using findings from a global study into the phenomenon. Rather than surveying diverse respondents, the article sought to determine the extent of the differences in personality traits between developed cultures and cultures in poor socioeconomic settings. I found this to be very interesting, as it would ...

“Living Dolls”: François Ier Dresses His Women
In the 16th century, fashion dolls were used as an international exchange of fashion trends. When François Ier asked Isabella d’Este to send him a doll dressed in her favorite fashions, he intended to copy them for his court and give it to the women in France. Fashion dolls practically played a role of the mannequins.
Whether given as a gift to a child or an adult, the fashion doll always performed the same educational function – the acquaintance with foreign dress styles. The appearance of the doll was not very ...

Communication in the simplest and most basic sense and aspect refers to the art where one person passes and shares information to the recipient for the purposes of relaying information. It is imperative to note that communication does not necessarily refer to the conversation. Since there are several non-verbal cues and non-verbal messages that one could use in order to pass information (Alberts, Nakayama & Martin, 2007). In the dating and relationship aspect, communication is uniquely dependent on the personality and behavior of an individual rather than follow a holistic and universal pattern. The above are the reasons as to why ...

The poem encompasses an issue pertaining to the unclear interpretations of her work titled Incubation: A Space for Monsters. The issue of confusion was addressed through poetry by describing analogies that best describes the meaning of the book’s context. The arguments presented in the reading include descriptions given to the different areas in the book such as comparing an excerpt from a George Clooney film with a female in red dress. The female character described in the reading embodies the characteristics of the reading, which non-familiar readers would find confusing. To conclude the argument about what the girl is doing ...

ARTICLE REVIEW: CONCEPTS OF PREGNANCY, CHILDBIRTH AND INFANCY IN CH’ING DYNASTY CHINA BY CHARLOTTE FURTH

Introductory Paragraph
History has seen the prevalence of patriarchal concepts throughout almost every major civilization. In fact, the subordination of women as inferior to men has since manifested through a variety of social constructs that has extended beyond customary practices towards acceptance as universal facts. This review on an article authored by Charlotte Furth, entitled Concepts of Pregnancy, Childbirth and Infancy in Ch’ing Dynasty China, seeks to tackle a social construct that has framed women as inferior to men treated as a universal fact within a social setting – the reproductive system of women as seen in pregnancy, childbirth and infancy.

Similar to the world economies, Japan experiences economic recession and its consequences. Science is one of the fields to be affected most severely. A different reason why a huge amount of Japanese female scientists goes to work abroad is because of the male scientists’ dominance in the country. Although women are equally hard working and compatible with men in science and in academia, the Japanese society does not accept the role of women as leading scientists and researchers. It is estimated that sixty percent of all the talented Japanese researchers who reside abroad are females, and just a tiny portion of ...

The human body still amazes me every time I encounter new things. When I was younger, I did not care of how my body in its smallest parts can react. What was important then was I eat whenever I am hungry. I drink water when I feel thirsty. I seek for a good past time when I get bored. I was never interested as to why was I feeling those things? Reading “Physiological and Neurological Needs” enlightened me on what is going on inside me that triggers what I feel.
I was hooked with the part of the reading ...

Summary – Digital Mammography Machine

The new 3-D mammography machine will help to improve women’s health and save lives. According to a report by Best, “this new piece of technology has provided a 27 percent improvement in cancer detection rates” (Best, 2013). The Health authorities are happy that the day has finally arrived in the history of women’s health where help is readily available. The new Tomosynthesis technology, sometimes called the 3-D mammography, detects cancer earlier or finds cancer that may have been missed using the 2D mammography alone. However, there have been varying views by those experts who are not directly associated with ...

Imagine a world without direction or knowledge; Life on earth would be spineless. From the time kings began to send messages to far off places, information has become a part and parcel of everyday life. Alexander was known to have used the service of pigeons to send message for backups and draw battle plans. Without proper information, the world that we live in today would be nonsensical and devoid of meaning. How would one be able to gauge or judge the importance of business in a relatively unknown world of blankness? Information is what drives the world today. Thanks to the development ...

In order to demonstrate the main trends related to the role of female employees of community corrections facilities, the author employed the results of the study conducted by Norfolk State University`s Department of Criminal Justice based on the data collected from the Virginia Department of Corrections.

The author concludes, that since early ...

According to Joan Scott, gender is defined as “a constitutive element of social relationships based on perceived differences between the sexes and a primary way of signifying relationships of power.” On the other hand, Goffman claims that, “If gender be defined as the culturally established correlates of sex (whether in consequence of biology or learning), then gender display refers to conventionalized portrayals of these correlates. “In Scott context, biology is excluded the explanation of gender and the perception of individuals put into consideration. One is perceived a woman when she tends to behave and speak in an ...

Introduction

There have recently been increased incidences of mothers harming their newborn babies intentionally. This might appear to be very bizarre given that a mother is naturally expected to show extreme care and sensitivity to her newborn baby. The article “Good mothers, bad thoughts: New mother’s thoughts of intentionally harming their newborns” by Louise Murray and Mark Finn explores this issue from a psychological perspective.

Literature Review

Murray and Finn commence their exploration by a comprehensive literature review where several facts are brought into light. The occurrence of thoughts of harming a newborn child by a mother is mainly associated with depression on the mother’s ...

Facebook has become a popular networking tool over the years. Initially, it was widely used by teenagers and young people but even older people have joined its use because of the numerous advantages associated with Facebook. Facebook has become a powerful tool for strengthening relationships amongst families, as opposed to the belief that it causes family dysfunctions. For instance, Ms. Van der Spank was able to hold healthy conversations with her children after she joined Facebook and became friends with her children. She was able to understand what was happening in her children’s lives as opposed to the initial response ...

Thesis: Furthermore, because procreation by bondwomen can be regarded as both a means of perpetuating slavery and an act of love and self-sacrifice, the sexuality of enslaved women and their relationship to their offspring must be understood as a complex negotiation involving individual agency, resistance, and power (Li 14).
- This episode introduces what Jacobs continually describes as the fundamental evil of familial bonds; its flagrant destruction of familial bonds (Li 15).
- Slavery disrupts the relationship between parent and child not only by allowing each to be sold to different masters, but by positing a figure of authority and ...

The concern for poverty is always present in every society. Since a few decades ago, it is studied that the rise of poverty rates, particularly in the United States of America, can be traced to the socioeconomic status of female-headed families with children. Results of studies show that the risk of poverty for female-headed households is higher compared to male-headed household. Thus, the matter concerning female-headed homes continues to become a major concern to policymakers (Gabe, 2011). There are various elements associated with this issue: inequality, discrimination, family structure, labor force participation, welfare programs and so on. This will be the ...

Martin Amis's Other People and London Fields

As Brian Finney points out in Narrative and Narrated Homicide in Martin Amis's Other People and London Fields although he is not classified as a crime writer Martin Amis’s stories are filled with crime and focus upon death and murder. . Finney’s critique of Amis’s stories revolves around the continuing themes of women, death, murder and victimization along with their relationship with the enigmatic narrator.
In his analysis Finney looks into the author and the zeitgeist of his era as well. He notes that Amis himself describes his work as “"playful literature" (Neustatter 71) and describes himself ...

According to Clifford, how is tribal art displayed in the Hall of Pacific Peoples at the American Museum of Natural History?
Clifford is very enthusiastic about the manner in which exhibits are displayed at this museum. He has positive words to say about the installation since it brings out the original and highly intriguing characteristics from a world which is sadly no more. Largely the work of the indefatigable Margaret Meat who died in 1978, the installation reveals a large number of exhibits which have been saved from what Clifford aptly describes as a ‘destructive history’. The artefacts vary from medical ...

Muhammad Zafrulla Khan in his book talks about honor and dignity by Islam to women. He highlights the spiritual equality of women with man. In his opinion all situations about women’s position have been reflected in Qur’an. First of all it is about her economic position.

The author talks about women’s rights and freedom. Some people, especially in Europe think that woman in Muslim world has no rights and ...

Gender roles were defined on the basis of man and woman, masculinity/feminist. This interpolates the idea that the woman was not viewed as an object of male desire but rather a companion of his (an imperfect image yielding the binary form of subject). Now in this present age, are we trying to delineate the concept of man/woman differences, the binary nature of their roles into sexual (affiliated to the sexual organs) beings in discussion and totally block out the trans-sexual forms existing between the two? Exactly! We have basically narrowed ourselves into sexual boundaries and abandoned the cultural and social ...

A woman who is totally focused and knows exactly what she wants in life is by all means unstoppable. The erotic entails the culmination of all of a woman’s feelings. With the achievement of this emotional peak a woman experiences joy and the fullness of life.as a result the woman gains more focus in life and is pretty much unstoppable. Once she reaches this emotional high she will never agree to live a life that is substandard with her emotional fulfillment. The achievement of this emotional high in life also opens the eyes of a woman. She now knows what she has to ...

Considering human rights as an issue without culture, diversity, and without complicated frameworks means it is about what it implies – "human" rights. In reality, the question arises why Western ideology of feminism exhibit so many gaps when it comes to the female of the human species. The Western feminist belief about human rights as a means for establishing a commonality among global women empowerment causes limitations in bridging gaps from a global perspective and consequently demands a new way of thinking.
Theorists on universalism and women's human rights including Grewal, Bunch, and Hua provide the textual dialogue for examining this predicament. Globally, ...

Critical review of Men and Masculinities in Modern Africa

Nwando Achebe gives cases of women in Africa who have been able to occupy a variety of leadership roles. She states that traditionally women mainly held power due to their relationship with the particular rulers especially as mothers, sisters or daughter to the rulers. She moves ahead and illustrates his assertion by giving examples of women who were guided by great leaders who in most cases were their close relatives. For instance Ahebi Ugbabe, among the Igbo, assumed royal powers and dressed in the king’s attire pending the installation of the next ruler (Lindsay, Lisa & Miescher, 53). This illustrates ...

Introduction

In the article, the writer makes the case that women have better instincts for the ecological sustenance of the earth. Her case is based on the fact that women are more fundamentally materially grouped in the ecology of the planet than men. She regards these instincts to human existence on the planet. She says that human-caused environmental problems of the planet are extensively due to an exploitive, paternalistic, male dominated culture (Warren & Erkal, 1997). Mary approaches the argument from a Marxist, materialistic view combining it with ecofeminism and non-anthropocentricity. She argues that, there is no necessary conflict between a Marxist approach ...

Women participated in various ways in revolutions in the 18th century. Traditionally, the roles of women were restricted within their homes. However, the political and social havoc of the 18th century gave them an opportunity to extend their influence beyond the home. Particularly, they were directly involved in the revolutions in various ways (Women in the French Revolution). For instance, they offered financial resources to enhance the revolutions. Furthermore, they also supplied food products for those who were involved in the rebellions. Moreover, they played an important role in establishing the necessary infrastructures to facilitate the revolutions. In addition, ...
