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 ...

Before the coming of Jesus Christ, religion as a concept still existed. However, what is today known as Christianity did not exist then. People who lived during this era worshiped or believed images gods or spirits that resided in trees or mountains. The dominant religion was Judaism. The scripture that was in use was the Old Testament which at the time was known as the Hebrew Bible. People, at the time, believed in God and kept the commandments which are stipulated in the bible. But then, not everyone was a Jew. Many religions were in existence as seen in the Old ...

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. The main entities, while conducting research, include your subject matter, its environment and, more importantly, yourself.
In the next couple of months, I intend to conduct research on the difficulties of international students in speaking and learning the English language. I have determined that I will conduct qualitative research through my ...

The culture in which a person grows into plays a major role in shaping their verbal communication. This is because of the fact that some of the major properties and characteristics of comminutes and which define them, include their way of communication. Every community or society has a unique, authentic form of communication which it uses. This is what distinguishes one community from another.
The distinctions in comminutes among communities is a cultural tenet that not only define them, but also gives them an identity. Apart from the verbal communication, there is a different form of communication that is also used in every ...

I have to admit that I like to think of myself as a nerd. I hardly go out. I like reading my books and having fun my own way. I am the late bloomer, I get trends last , and I am not that cool and I like my room, and occasionally my passionate moments with nature. This is how I lead my life. However, this was to change just by one event.

This is evident in the way tools and weapons were used to help people adapt to their environment (Murphie and Putts, 2003).

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 ...

Coherent Paragraph

The traditional roles of Aboriginal women are not understood in contemporary settings because Western cultures have influenced their behaviours over the years. Socially, the primary role of women was child rearing. They were tasked with ensuring that children’s mental, physical, spiritual, and emotional needs were met. Additionally, they ensured that the children had physical necessities such as clothing, food, and shelter. Nevertheless, the fathers, as well as the extended families, also played a role in ensuring that the children’s basic needs were met. In traditional societies, Aboriginal women were regarded as the carriers of their cultures. They ...

This paper will look at some of the important aspects of various cultures in Western Civilization. Much of the political and cultural changes that were occurring during the rise of the nations and Empires that the Western Civilization is known for, was a result of shifting hierarchies and changes in status (Cole et. al, 2014). The key aspects of Western Civilizations before 1000 BCE are the Babylonian Hammurabi Code. These were a set of laws that that spoke of justice. The Codes were based on an eyes for an eye type of justice. Between 3,500 and 3,000 ...

Action Plan using Maslow’s Theory
The world has a myriad of cultures and people that share their own set of cultural values and belief systems. These values become their cultural norms and are preserved in their day to day actions and routine. If a person does not carry the firsthand knowledge of another person’s cultural beliefs and norms, then they are bound to follow hearsay and believe whatever stereotypes are associated with them.
However looking at the factual display of matters, many cultures have certain rites and traditions which cannot be changed or tampered with. ...

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 ...

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 ...

Most of these practices trace back to ancient period (Miller, 2010). Chinese culture is among the largest and oldest cultural globally.

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 ...

Difficulty of learning English for international students

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 ...
