Before the arrival of the Portuguese in the year 1500, Amerindian people stayed in Brazil who spoke different languages. There were around six million Indians in Brazil who spoke 1,000 different languages. After arriving the Portuguese settlers encountered the Tupi people, who then controlled most of the Brazilian coast and used to speak a set of closely related languages. The Portuguese were called "Tapuias", by the Tupi people. In the first two centuries of colonization, a language known as ‘Línguageral’ was widely spoken by all, from Amerindians, Portuguese to the African and their descendants, and a vast area from Sao ...

Introduction

Population:
The population of the central European nations dramatically increased during the early twentieth century which may have led to an economic downturn. The population of Germany grew from 40 million in 1871 to roughly 68 million by 1914 and this was achieved by the transformation of the German economic structure from an agriculture and self-sustaining state to a complicated industrial structure with internal and external factors affecting the business environment. According to Keynes it was a machine that had to be run continuously and at full blast to find abode for their population at home and import food from ...

World War 1

Introduction

The First World War became a severe test for the whole world in the twentieth century. It was a turning point in European civilization that marked the end of the 19th century - the century of conservatism, education and stability, and the beginning of the 20th century - the century of the great revolutions and world wars, mass terror and rapid technological development.

Hitler wondered if the British citizens would continue supporting the War. He argued that the citizens in Britain would come against Churchill while they learnt that the war could not be conducted without gaining losses (Trevor 299). The Japanese were seen by Hitler as a country that would not have the ability to occupy the whole of the East including India and New Zealand. The lack of interest by the Japanese occupation would ensure their support to Germany after the war period. The entry of the Japanese into the war would provide the Germans an advantage of regaining the friendship ...

Imperialism is a subject which draws very strong opinions and emotions from historians and it offers a lot of scope for arguments and discussions. Today’s generation view imperialism to be inhumane and an arrogant activity undertaken by a strong nation to exploit the people and resources of a weaker nation. This is mostly true because the conquering European powers did utilize the mining and agricultural potentials of the African and Asian nations, to benefit the economy of their homeland rather than for the welfare of the countries they occupied. But one should not forget that, there were also a ...

Total war was the product of modern, industrial society and the tremendous advances in science and technology that were applied to the development of new weapons like the machine gun, the submarine, poison gas, the airplane and the atomic bomb. To be sure, warfare had always been brutal and atrocities were commonplace long before the invention of modern weapons, but in the world wars of the 20th Centuries, all of the industrial, scientific and economic power of advanced societies were applied to warfare, while the distinctions between civilians and soldiers disappeared as cities were carpet bombed out of existence. ...

ABSTRACT

During World War II, the Allies faced an enemy with technological capabilities that matched their own. The Germans and Japanese boasted precision weaponry that was, in many ways, the envy of the world, and this skill had much to do with the success the Axis forces encountered during the war’s early years. But as the conflict wore on, the Americans and British showed a remarkable ability to adapt not only their design and manufacture of aircraft and armaments to meet the challenge of the enemy, but also their combat tactics. The speed and maneuverability of modern aircraft required pilots ...

Program Music

Program music refers to a kind of music that is creative in nature (Cooper, 2008). Music describes a situation in a narrative way. Liszt introduced this term by describing a program as an added description to the music to draw the attention of the listener to a poetic idea. It adds value to music because listeners receive it in the form of program notes, which brings a mutual relationship with the music. Program music continues to bring an effect on film music in cases where this draws the latest techniques of romantic music.

Japan and Germany

Japan and Germany
Before World War 2, Japan and Germany had certain similarities in their foreign relations and domestic policies, which will be discussed in this paper. It is arguable why the two countries found themselves as allies together with Italy in world war two, but there is a great possibility that if the two countries had been neighbors, they would have fought each other because of their similar foreign policies. However, due to their distance between each other and their similar foreign policies, they were allies in the Second World War. This is because they found themselves fighting ...

Both world wars I and II had huge impact on America both economy and political issues majority of which was negative as one would expect from any given wart in the world. In the year 1914 when world war I broke out America had no interest in joining the war, and the president by then Woodrow Wilson pleaded that his country would remain neutral, a decision that was well taken by majority of America citizens as well as the rest of the government officials. However this could not last for long since later in the year 1917 America decided to ...

Introduction
Throughout World War II, the Nazis carried out some of the most unthinkable and horrific experiments upon human beings, often citing science as a valid reason for their actions. As accounts of these experiments began to leak out prior to and throughout the Nuremberg Trials, they had a profound effect upon people’s comprehension of man’s insatiable curiosity and his inclination towards evil. Since there is hardly any precedent or ensuing studies conducted to support the results from these experiments, it has long been conjectured as to whether their findings should be admissible in modern publications or applications. ...

Discursive formations an explanation of the human behavior attempts to undermine the archeological historical analysis. In the discursive formations analysis, human beings are not the center analysis to avoid problems associated with anthropological approaches used earlier. This discursive formation analysis can be used in explaining the revolutionary discourses that constantly undermined the history of Europe towards the end of the nineteenth century. At the end of the middle ages, there was an increased power struggle and increased women's participation in social and political activities. The same period experienced the first wave of feminism when women's emancipation movements ...

Did Ronald Reagan end the Cold War?
Since the end of the Second World War, it was certain that a clash between the two remaining superpowers would be imminent since Europe is currently in a state of disarray. Both the Western and Eastern Blocs, led by the United States and the Soviet Union respectively, had felt threatened over the other’s interest in the still recovering Europe and the right to be known as the only superpower standing. The resulting clash paved the way to the Cold War of 1947-1991, arguably the ...

History of the Jews in America is much less dramatic than history of the Jews that lived in Europe. In the USA, the Jews were not discriminated as it happened in Russia, Germany, France and other major countries. In addition, American Jews benefited from the “black-white” racial discourse that was popular in the USA for several centuries. As a result, they had more chances to be accepted in the American society than black people or other outsiders. Nevertheless, there were several short periods in American history when American Jews had to think of the ways how to protect their ...

In recent news, the Greek Debt Crisis continues to escalate further given Greece’s continues debt despite the bailout funds provided by the EU, IMF, and the World Bank.

The paper aims to tackle the constituents of Genocide. It also aims to tackle the differences and similarities of the Holocaust and the Rwanda genocide. Although at the core, both the Rwandan Genocide and the Holocaust are originated in racist ideologies, deep hatred and discrimination; at the surface they present the world in different views. The ways society accepted and aided both circumstances as well as the socio-cultural factors that provoked these atrocities were differentiable. In order to attain the paper’s objective, this paper will first give the definition of genocide, then facts about Rwanda Genocide and holocaust. ...

Introduction

Racism denotes discrimination and prejudice that are anchored on social apprehensions of biological dissimilarity between people (Newman 1). Racism is orchestrated in the form of social actions or practices or political systems that perceive certain races to be inferior or superior on the account of qualities, abilities, and presumed shared inheritable straits (Newman 1). In addition, racism may prompt the treatment of others differently from the rest. Racism in the world soccer/football has raised eyebrows. Despite FIFA, the world’s soccer governing body’s policies and penalties, racism on the global stage in soccer has been on the rise. ...

The end of the Second World War left the world with two super powers who competed to control every aspect of the world politics, economics and social life. The United State had a doctrine based on western civilization that was imprinted in the Capitalistic theory. The USSR had its own theory of civilization based on the communist form of leadership. The capitalistic mode of development was blamed on placing powers on individual leaving the government with minimal control. The communist theory believed that property should be owned by the society with control by the government on its utilization. The two ...

The Communist Manifesto

Introduction
First published as Das Kommuniste Che Manifest, the Communist Manifesto was commissioned by the communist league, a political organization formed by working class individuals in northern Europe. The manifesto was jointly authored by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engel. Though much credit was initially given to Engel, he later told the world that the manifesto was purely based on the ideas of Karl Marx. The manifesto is best understood through an analysis of the challenges faced by the working class in Europe (Marx & Engels 2009). Essentially, the writing is based on class struggles. According to Karl Marx, class struggles ...

The human inclination to seek explanations for the strange and unusual is as old as human civilization. The supernatural has always provided a convenient rationale for forces that are beyond human control and understanding. War, disease and other natural phenomena are misfortunes that have been ascribed to the influence of witchcraft, of a force directed by a malevolent intelligence bent on subverting the harmony of a godly universe. Patriarchal European society has historically assigned witchcraft a decidedly feminine cast, an image that was formalized during the Middle Ages by the church and in print. The result was centuries of gender-based persecution, torture and violent ...

In this paper, we will explore the psychological impacts of two human-made disasters. One that happened during the First World War, and the other one is a recent terrorist attack in Paris, in 2015. The Lusitania Disaster was an attack from the German army to a British ship liner coming from New York to Liverpool, UK. The terrorist attack in Paris however was not a war attack, so people were not expecting anything as such. However, it can be argued that we are on a war today, that begun by several attacks of radical Islamic groups against the West. ...

The growing cost of college education has raised debates about how viable a college degree is. These debates are further fueled by required knowledge and skill sets required for current job market. Given current unemployment rates (coming in heel of an unprecedented economic recession), investment in college education has not only become a financial burden long after graduation but is also becoming, critically, less rewarding from a job prospect perspective. Indeed, "overeducated" college graduates – particularly ones completing an undergraduate or a higher degree in software engineering or digital media majors – are experiencing particularly painful job experiences, particularly during early ...

The Cold War: Space Race

Introduction
The final frontier in the exploration of man during the 20th century was space. For decades, the man had been intrigued by the vastness and the boundlessness of his surroundings. The untapped cradle that formed the home to the planet remained a mystery to man. It was this fascination that created the basis for space exploration even as the man struggled to understand not only his surroundings but also his existence.
The desire to understand space created the much needed scientific and technological advancement of humanity. In an effort to understand and conquer space, the man helped advance ...

Crime is widespread. Everywhere we go, anywhere in the world, somebody is stealing, dealing drugs, or even trying to take the life of another. Community corrections are operational in most countries in an effort to keep law-abiding citizens safe. Corrections removes law breakers, segregating them from society sometimes forever, and sometimes in an effort to reintroduce them after their debt is paid. Some countries, like the United States, benefit greatly off the many facets of the community corrections program that exist within the country. Other countries attempt to recognize many criminals are capable of change, make use of them ...

Wonderful Norwegian artist Edvard Munch did not left behind any disciples, his art is too personal, subjective for a school to arise. It is difficult to determine the stylistic evolution of the artist. It is difficult to attribute him to any particular art direction. With equal force in his work there appeared features of symbolism, expressionism and realism. It seems that it makes no sense to look for exact definitions, signs of a particular style. All the phenomena of life, the artist transmitted through himself, perceiving them very individually. These phenomena, existing in images and ideas in his imagination, found their ...

<h2>Abstract</h2> <p>The paper will address the social conflict theory that was instigated by Karl Marx in the 18th century. The theory had been in place since then but has undergone various changes with the changes in the society. The paper will exploit the developmental journey of the theory and discuss what was added or subtracted from the original ideologies of the theory in modernity. Moreover, there will be an examination of how the theory came to be. For instance, Marx came up with the theory after witnessing first-hand the exploitation of the lower class. He developed the theory to explain <!--more-->the exploitation. Therefore, the paper will go into detail on such. It will also highlight the development of the Marx theory and incorporation of theories such as the feminist theories. It will examine how the social conflict theory was shapes in the modern age and the things that determine its ideals. Social theories have been backed up by empirical research, which must be addressed in this paper. The strengths and weaknesses of the identified research and those that associate with how the theory developed will also be discussed.</p> <h2>Introduction</h2> <p>Social conflict theory is a concept that argues that relationships in the society are imbalanced and exist as a way to exploit people. The theory notes that the social groups or classes that constitute the community have varying amounts of resources, leading to the classification of the poor and the rich. The theory is premised on Marxism, who preaches on the exploitation of the weak by those who are economically advantaged. Social evolution, which denotes the growth of the society and relationships in it, gave rise to social conflicts in which those relationships occur for exploitation purposes. The economically strong have achieved their status through the exploitive means because that is how they gain. An example is when an employer pays an employee less than they deserve because they want to keep a magnitude of the profits. The discussion will be about the historical foundations of the theory, its development, and empirical research done in the areas while highlighting the weaknesses and strengths in both.</p> <h2>Karl Marx Conflict Theory Essays</h2> <p>The social conflict theory has its origin, as stipulated above, in thinkers such as Karl Marx. Other scholars have refined the ideologies behind the theories over time, and include people such as Machiavelli and Thomas Hobbes. Even so, Karl Marx is known as the father of the social conflict theory. It has its roots deep in the eighteenth century, when Marx noted the classification of the society into the ruling and working classes of individuals (Rossides, 1998). The two classes formed the society and were defined solely by financial well-being. Karl Marx, a German, noted the need for a revolution or reform in the society that existed in the eighteenth century. The reason is that the bourgeoisie were seen to exploit the proletariats, who mainly formed the bulk of the working class. At the time, there were many bids for the revolution of the German society where government was to be taken away from the ruling class that constituted of the wealthy. What the theorist noted is that the people had surrendered all their rights to the government that was run by the wealthy. As a result, it had all the power and controlled all the means of production. The ruling class was also in charge of the political and legal systems. In such a way, the working class was left at the mercy of the ruling class that deeply exploited it.<br /> What instigated the origin of the theory in the century was when Marx determined that the work that was done by the workers was what led to the growth of the society (Stolley, 2005). He, therefore, found it ironic that the same people that cause the society to be what it is should be exploited. The society that they create through their work establishes relationships that are materialistic in nature. The emergence and growth of society in history were divided into three parts. The parts, namely economic, political, and social structures were responsible for the formation of the society. These three aspects came about as a result of the formation of relationships in the society. In the 19th century, the theory was based on criticism of the capitalism that was witnessed in most of the countries. Capitalism was seen as a major contributing factor towards what shaped the social conflict theory. The nineteenth century was a rush by many societies to a acquire wealth. They embraced the aspect of capitalism that propelled the society into formation of classes. There was a need for people to work in the broad industrialization that has spread throughout Europe. In addition, the aspect of private ownership of land caused an exploitation of the people who did not own property. Those who were in an advantageous position controlled legal and political institutions. Socialism stopped playing any role in how wealth was distributed in the society. To maintain the way things were, the ruling class developed a legal framework that was not favorable to the working class. Those who owned the capital controlled the politics and laws that could be used to change things. After carefully analyzing the situation, Karl Marx developed the social conflict theory. He also noted that those who were in a higher economic position had the power, given through political institutions, to make the working class do as they wished. Because of such mistreatments, there were conflicts in the society that existed between the two social groups. The conflict developed in the 1920s to include the aspect of intellectual controls. It was observed that the ruling class controlled how people thought by imposing ideas on them. The intellectualism of society, therefore, was in conflict because human beings have the freedom to think, but the ruling class made decisions for them.<br /> The 1950s were a period when sociologists exploited the theory that Marx had come up with and refined it accordingly. The theory was developed from the rawness that was used by Marx into something that reflected the changes that had occurred at the time. Society is not a permanent entity and is exposed to radical changes in the social, economic, legal and political system. For instance, Max Webber introduced the emotional aspect of the theory. He stated that the theory did not just involve the struggle for dominance in social classes, but had other aspects as well. Such issues included the ruling class using religion to instigate a particular behavior on people and control their emotions. In this sense, the ruling class would have absolute control power over individuals. Even so, the nineteenth century saw a lot of revolutions from followers of Marxism in scope of the social conflict theory (Eagly, Baron, Hamilton & Kelman, 2004). The German and Russian revolutions are good examples. The revolutions sought to seek control of legal and political systems because that is when the lower class could be completely free.<br /> In the wake of the rights of women, social conflict theory developed in the 1960s to facilitate the issues of the discrimination of women (Martindale, 1960). The theory was then referred to as the feminist conflict theory. The feminists argued that women were oppressed by men, and a conflict existed between the two groups of people. It was no longer about the rich and poor only, but also about men and women. Men wanted to maintain the position that was traditionally seen as theirs while women wanted more freedom and opportunities in mainstream matters. Women believed men incapable of giving up power over them even though there had been notable changes in the rights of women. For instance, they were allowed to participate in the voting system, unlike what was the position before the Second World War. A few women had gone to school. However, women believed that their continuous discrimination in matters that were far more important was exploitation for the gain of men. Therefore, the period led to the development of the feminist conflict theory.<br /> In the wake of modernity, mainly in the 20th century, there has was an overhaul of the system that was seen in the 18th century (Sitton, 1996). The people are no longer divided into clear social classes. The social classes do exist because equality has not been attained in terms of wealth. There are those people who are rich and those who are poor. However, the lower class is not as exploited as was the case in the 18th centuries. Political institutions have become accommodative of the common man, and legal rules are made in the interest of the ordinary man. There has been the rise of labor unions that advocate the rights of workers. Even so, the social conflict theory is still applicable in some situations and varies in degree. There is a global and international conflict. The global entities that often exist control countries in what they should do or things in which they should engage. There have been arguments on the issue of sovereignty when it comes to forging of some rules. The conflict also relates to international economics where those countries that are not yet financially independent are controlled by those that have achieved financial freedom. States foster interactions between one another that are meant to give rise to good relationships. They lead to trade where those that have a higher bargaining power overlook the others that may not be very fortunate. Additionally, conflicts have existed in aspects of the interactions that exist in a modern society. The interactions are based on the individual will of the people as opposed to the collective. Class is still something that the individuals, who exercise the free will of their thoughts, exploit. There exists the conflict of individual freedoms and the collective responsibilities in the society. People do not participate in the things they are supposed to in the society because of their free will. They form interactions that are in the interest of their free will as opposed to what collective responsibility entails. Who they interact with, therefore, will be dependent upon what they want as individuals. In a way, social conflict is still active in the modern society, but has developed to incorporate the above. People have been given freedom through the laws that advocate the rights and liberties of the individual.<br /> Also, modernity brought the concept of deviance into the social conflict theory (Pankin, 1981). In this sense, it was witnessed that when it came to deviance and committal of crimes, the lower class was more associated with it as compared to the higher level in the society. The lower class is dealt with in a different way than the privileged. The scenario is applicable to both white and blue collar crimes. The punishment in the society is not the same with the different classes that apply it. Those who are economically stable, in addition, can be used to influence the hand of the law in any direction that they see fit. Money changes things in the way the legal rules are set forth, hence, brings a conflict. Social conflict theorists have argued that the law is left as a weapon as opposed to it being a shield</p> <h2>Strengths and weaknesses of the theoretical development</h2> <p>The theoretical evolution of the theory draws its strength from the fact that it uses the aspect of morality to justify itself. In all of its development, the social conflict theory had embraced the aspect of morality in its discussion. Hence, it has drawn the attention of many people because it preaches the immorality of exploitation. It preaches of the issues behind the immoral aspects of exploitation under pretentious habits by the advantageous groups. In doing so, it recognizes the fundamentals in which the society is made of and identifies with the plight of the minorities. It recognizes the injustice that was afforded to the people who could not change the laws or political atmosphere as society developed from the 18th century. The fact is that the theory is the only one that sought to exploit the injustices that occurred in the society. As it proceeded and developed more, the theory recognized the changes that the society had made towards a better governing and social system. It incorporates other factors that have affected the developed society. Because of such a comprehensive and factual representation of what happens in the society, it is a realistic representation of what needed to be changed. It involved the change in the traditional setup, and what was needed in the modern scenario.<br /> However, the theory heavily discounts humanitarianism acts that may aimed towards the goodness of the society (Eagly, 2004). It places any acts that are done by the advantageous group to people who are less fortunate as having an ulterior motive. In this theory, there is no day that the people who have influential positions will do things that substantially benefit the society as a whole (Izvercianu, 2009). The theory stipulates that the society is devoid of any goodness. In the modern aspect, when it comes to crime, the theory presents a situation where the laws completely fail to protect those from a lower class. The scenario may be a misrepresentation that is fuelled with unfounded discriminatory innuendo. The issue of discrimination is not new when it comes to crime committal and punishment. However, the law has evolved to protect criminals and they, too, get to be afforded a high amount of rights. At the same time, it could be notably true that the higher class in the society often escapes high degrees of punishment. However, it does not mean that the lower class is usually unfairly punished as a result. The laws have tried to foster a fair approach to the provision of justice through constitutional reviews.<br /> Empirical Research denotes the routine of acquiring new knowledge and skills not through construing, but through undeviating and unintended observation. That explains why the outcomes that are deduced from the empirical research would only be evaluated and considered through qualitative as well as quantitative approaches. In other words, it is a product that brings out outcomes through experimentation and observation resulting to sound understanding not forgetting to remark that the research results to s comprehensive case study. One of the major strengths of the methods denotes the integration of the research itself as well as the practice. Moreover, it does offer admiration to contextual differences something that enables the acquired knowledge to be built upon. Even though the method have the exceeding features, it is worth noting that the process would not be trustworthy in case the full cycle was not adhered to and they include observation, induction, deduction, testing, and finally evaluation. Any failure in any of the phases would result to unwanted outcomes that would lead to wrong observation.</p> <h2>Conclusion</h2> <p>The social conflict theory has been an important element in the bid to solve the never-ending problems that exist in the society. The problems emanate from the legal, social, economic and political aspects since they are all related (Deutsch, 2000). Even with the presence of some weaknesses, the theory is still a good representation of those things that affect the society and need reform. Because of the social interactions that occur with different people in the society, conflicts are bound to exist.</p> <h2>References</h2> <p>Azar, E. (1990).

The variability of stars existing within our universe represents diversity and uniqueness.
