Culture Creative Writings Samples For Students

Religion is regarded as one of the most important and impulsive identifiers of a culture as it consists of moral values and principles that have a strong foothold in the conventional cultural model. For the same reason, when one’s religion is threatened, it puts everything at risk; past, present and future (Simonsen & Spindlove 17). The same has happened in China where the Muslim Uighur from Xinjiang have formed activist groups in order to protect their religious standing and have an independent Islamic state of their own. The history of Uighurs’ independence dates back to A.D. 744. ...

Religion and popular culture is an article that looks at the significance of religion and pop culture that has taken a toll on the society. Religion is no longer, what it used to be in the Jewish tradition where it has its foundations.

The manner in which matters of religion are being handled has been the center of debate between the conservative and liberal religious believers. The most alarming issue is the fact that religion has become digital ...

Liberalism is an important part of societal development and this is obviously part and parcel of the history of Europe in the early part of the 20th century. Perry is insistent that liberalism comes together from a variety of sources but is especially espoused in the left wing doctrines of socialism and communism.

After the First World War, Europe was swept through with what could have deemed to be a wave of liberal ideas. With the fall of the monarchy in various countries, old ideas went out of the window and this also meant that more liberal ideas were invading European ...

1. Marie de France’s “Bisclavret” is far more understated in its description of the werewolf than similar imagery in modern novels. One element of modern writing is an increased reliance on imagery rather than suggestion, and while the important element of “Bisclavret” is the theme rather than description, in modern works we tend to get both – consider the case of Professor Lupin from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. The focus in “Bisclavret” is on the treachery of the wife and the knight, and the rectitude of the former baron. The narration in ...

The perception of Joseph contradicts with what other thinks as he says, “Poetry is like bird.” The illiterate lad decides to abstain from petty crimes and study on the blacks’ history. The game of poetry was flexible to accommodate different understanding of the context. He differs with other students who believed that the novel, Heart of Darkness sheds light on the redemption and suffering of Africans. Joseph had a deep believe that the black’s history was underrated and nothing good was observed from it. The understanding of the poetry according to him means that the visionary literary work discussed ...

During the pre-colonial period, the women were considered to be a minority in the Arab World. In the Arab Countries, Women were supposed to cover themselves completely to preserve them for their husbands only hence a peak of view of the backwardness of the society. With time, things have change; women were viewed as a source of inspiration in the leadership of many colonists hence making the Arabs resulting in the changing of their ways of lives (Ahmed 91).

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 ...

Being a Researcher

I believe that research is a process. It is a step-by-step procedure of capturing, analyzing, documenting and validating requirements to develop a research paper. The research process provides a researcher the necessary skills and groundwork in discovering information to complete an effective research.

Race is not only skin deep, but it serves as a person’s imprint in society. It is a power full force that dictates much in a person’s way of living. It is both innate and is influence by the environment. It is innate, because people are born in certain races, where they carry with them genetic traits that define their racial identity. Biological characteristics include color and physical appearance that may uniquely identify various races. Race also plays a significant role in the cultural aspect of living because it carries with it many norms and values that define a society. Religion, moral ...

A culture war may be described as a struggle between two conflicting cultural values. It can be applied to explain east verses west, urban verses rural, or traditional values against progressive secularism (Hasson 4). Since the 1960s within America, a great division existed over the underlying truth of America.
In America, this phenomenon started within the 1920s when rural and urban American values conflicted. In US, the phrase culture war is utilized to assert that conflict exist between values regarded conservative or traditionalist and those regarded as liberal or progressive (Hunter 9). During 1980s, the term culture war within US ...

Just last year there was an effort to pass a law regarding Australian Aboriginals being recognized as the first inhabitants of Australia. Besides this, their language and dialects are also going to be recognized by abolishing a discriminating law in the country. This letter addresses that issue and talks about how Australian Aboriginals are left out in the work place because of cultural barriers. Although this issue is unspoken, it is very rampant. There are a lot of indigenous people who are being left out in school, the workplace and in the community because of the background. There needs to be more ...

1. Describe the political economy of commodities trading in 17th century Amsterdam. Explain the particular economic navigational challenges for Miguel Lienzo:
Between the 16th and 17th century, economic reforms were not bereft of controversies. Misfortune struck Antwerp, the most renowned merchandizing city that ever was in the trading world. The special entity status passed on to Amsterdam and remained until the second half of the next century-18th. Between the last quarter of 16th century and first decade of the 17th century, Amsterdam’s commodity trade suddenly emerged as metropolitan and cosmopolitan in genre. Amsterdam surged ahead consolidating and ...

Industrial Revolution and development of capitalism focused around the key rational drivers to raise productivity, as a result society approached to issue of "complex relations among cultural products and processes, consciousness, and the economic and social organization of society" (1991, Halley, p.228). How successful was a solution of these complex relations in the capitalist world through attempts of delegitimation and reenchantment of rationality?
Cultural Processes: New processes need the new cultural drivers. Gradually separated from their generic and institutional origins the cultural activities followed the historic processes. This movement was not easy often followed by the cultural resistance, taking the ...

It started with the bullfighting. I had never been a fan of the sport itself; indeed, I had never really considered it; but there I was, in Valencia, watching the matadors wave their flags at the heads of the bulls. I had never seen anything like it before, and it was an image that will be seared into my brain as demonstrative of my time in Spain for the rest of my life.
There is so much to say about bullfighting. There is a rich history of bullfighting in Spain and Portugal, but everyone seems to have an opinion about ...

Introduction

While they claim that a picture is worth a thousand words, it may portray different meanings depending on culture. Music is extraordinary; it is a universal language that is discrimination free. Music is a language that conveys emotion across all cultures. Regardless of the previous exposure or culture, individuals can watch or listen to a song and detect whether a song contains happiness, fear and sadness. Music is thus a language that considers each person’s interest, taste and preference with no bias. On understanding that music is a language, the second point to consider is that music as a language reveals our identity. Music is a language that ...

Cultures have several things in common. Various societies have come up with a number of cultural practices in order to enhance survival. Most of these practices trace back to ancient period (Miller, 2010). Chinese culture is among the largest and oldest cultural globally. This culture traces back to 5000 years ago, when China was referred as “Cerestral Empire”. This term was used (and is still used in the contemporary world) to define a region where mortal power and divinity once co-existed. In the contemporary world, several researchers have explored the Chinese cultural trend with an aim of gaining a comprehensive understanding of ...

The culture in which a person grows into plays a major role in shaping their verbal communication.

The allocation of tax dollars is an ever-present debate among Americans, both in and out of legislative positions; one priority in particular is the issue of welfare. In the modern political narrative, there is a perception that 'welfare queens,' those who have the ability or capacity to work but simply accept welfare instead, are a drain on the system. In order to curb this abuse of welfare, the proposition has been made in various state and federal legislatures to implement drug testing policies for welfare recipients. The argument is that this screening would weed out drug users who might theoretically ...

The same is the case with logic; the logical way of thinking or rationale way of thinking is a corner stone of the Western culture. While Eastern world perception is based on spiritual belief, the Western is based on rational/logical justifications and proves. Without logical way of thinking science as we know it would not exist, it would be based on assumptions, which would be proved by belief. Thus, logic provides the Western culture with its foundation - rationalism. The modern example of this is that, without logical laws of truth and false, it would not be possible to build ...

Personal Cultural Identity: Heterosexual

The two diagrams represent how various social institutions play significant roles towards reinforcing cultural identities. In the case of my personal cultural identity, religion, family, school and the media, all serve to reinforce the belief that it is the acceptable path to follow. When it comes to religion, individuals are encouraged once they are of age to seek for members of the opposite sex and start a family. In fact, the bible in Proverbs chapter 18 verse 22, says “He who finds a wife finds a good thing.” In particular, it specifically implies that marriage is only considered so, if it is ...

Introduction

I chose this image because it symbolizes important things that are slowly fading in this world such as the interrelationship between humanity and nature, the essence of beauty, and the significance of culture among others. All these symbols, combined with a minimalist use of color and elements, make the image so appealing to me. On a more emotional note, this particular image gives me a feeling of peace. It has a calming factor. Looking at it makes me feel at ease and sentimental thoughts tend to arise. Though not exactly the best or the most unique, this image stirs up special feelings.

Culture is like a complex spider web, each of its nods containing codified information about the knowledge, experiences and beliefs of a group of people, regarding life, human interactions as well as the physical and the spiritual world. This information is most often passed down several generations and expressed symbolically within social circumstances. Given its spider web structure, all aspects of human life are interconnected and influence one another: science, religion, intellectual thought, artifacts and economic practices. Therefore, culture is the true collective expression of a people’s identity. It reflects a way of living, through which human communities express their distinct creative ...

A Precious Liquid

A huge percentage of water found in Mexico is obtained from the surface. The main sources are lakes or rivers. In spite of the few water resources in many areas in Mexico, there is a high consumption of water in these regions. This is because the tariffs are low and the rates of payment are poor (Reisner, 1992). The year 2006 saw more than 70% of the water utilized for agriculture alone. This is in contrast to less than 15% used for public supply. Moreover, less than 10% of the total water found in Mexico was used in industry and ...

Background

One of the biggest problems facing qualitative research in the field of education is how to be certain that the quality presented by the research is trustworthy. It is often too common to assume that the quality of research presents itself a powerful knowledge that is too convincing in its own right. However, this is not supposed to be the case as qualitative research studies have to be subjected to critical evaluation using criteria in order to justify its value. Whenever qualitative research studies are evaluated for the quality of their value, it helps to eliminate unnecessary criticism from ...

Technology has been a crucial part of the human culture since time immemorial. This is evident in the way tools and weapons were used to help people adapt to their environment (Murphie and Putts, 2003). Through civilization, the interrelationship between culture and technology is clearly brought out through activities such as farming, cooking, and even music. In modern times, technology has enabled faster means of conversing through better communication devices such as mobile phones. Technology has improved how people dress, the human intellect and what people believe and profess (Mack, 2001). Technology is deep rooted in various homes. It has ...

1) What were the Milgram Experiments and what did they demonstrate from their results?
The Milgram experiment was done to make out the time a person can take an order prior to them querying that order. With an objective anchored in the chase of profit, Enron workers were continually asked to break laws or execute acts that may perhaps be regarded as depraved. A small number of Enron workers ever came onward to report the dishonesty. The aspect that unavoidably led to individuals stepping forward was a "sinking ship" sentiment, resultant in a few Enron management officers selling their shares whereas ...

Questions from Readings

1. It is justifiable to break the law under certain circumstances. First, the laws in question must go against the norms of human ethics. In “A Letter from Birmingham Jail,” Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. writes to his white colleagues in the ministry in Birmingham, urging them to join him in the fight against racism in the city. This racism is a form of discrimination that keeps African American citizens from receiving the equal treatment they deserve. Second, people should try and change the laws peacefully before breaking them. The African American citizens of Birmingham have done this, though, and ...

The three concepts of experience, knowledge and place are intertwined in order to fully appreciate the depth of a person’s understanding.

Abstract

The following examines Mexican American and African-American cultures and the ways that these two cultures interact the dominant white culture in the United States. While on the surface these two cultures might seem to have much in common (given that they are frequently discriminated against minorities in the United States), in point of fact they are very different in the ways that they assimilate into American culture. Anthropologists and sociologists have traditionally used words like “integration” and “acculturation” to describe the process in which immigrant cultures ultimately blend in to (and accommodate themselves to) the dominant culture of the ...

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 ().
The unique historical background of Taiwan notwithstanding, the country (region) has also had generation gap as one of the most challenging social problems after ...
