WALTER RODNEY (1975), LIMITATIONS of the African petty bourgeoisie, Toronto: Afro-carrib publishers

For a long time now since the so called independence which was attained from the imperial powers, the African, Asian and Latin America working and the majority masses have continually experienced deprivation and untold suffering. This is rather ironical considering that it is the same masses under the ‘guidance’ of some indigenous political leaders who struggled to attain this independence. It was expected that the working classes who form the majority of the population would after gaining independence enjoy both political, social and economic freedom. That every person ...

“I have always held close to my heart the belief that true leadership is an art whereby an individual possess the ability and capability to socially influence his or her subordinates towards the realization of a common end or objective. As a leader, I am expected to be in a position to inspire other people to willingly pursue certain desired goals. All in all, I understand that leadership is not a one step undertaking; it involves a continuous process of learning. Good leadership has not been easy for me to nurture; it is a product of a multiplicity of factors which include in-depth study, strict discipline, ...

Following the Napoleonic wars, there was a gentlemen’s agreement between both Britain and the French empire to largely stay out of one another’s way. Nevertheless, they still nearly came to blows on a number of occasions during the 19th century. Yet, the British and French Empires gradually came to see one another as potential allies, even if not as close friends. This relationship benefited both powers in very material ways. Both were concerned about the increasingly aggressive nature of Germany and the alliances it was forming, as well as the rising power of Russia under the Czar. ...

Cultural diffusion and interaction is one of the conspicuous phenomenons that have characterized the world in the post-colonial era. However, the world has seemingly been inclined towards the Western culture. Salaman Rushdie is arguably one of the celebrated post-colonial writers who have managed to capture this phenomenon through his novella-“East, West”. Chekov and Zulu is one of the intriguing stories in the novella that satirically or rather, humorously demystifies how the Western culture has diffused into the Eastern world. The underlying story of how Chekov and Zulu are fascinated and affected by the Western culture in Britain exemplifies ...

Generation gap has been a widely discussed topic because of its significant impact on work, family and social relationships. The issue started being discussed during the post war era when globalization and multiculturalism were taking root in society. In most situations where a generation gap exists, the older generation always holds relatively more conservative opinions, while the younger generation is more accepting of their current worldview, and this evidently introduces conflict between the two generations ().
