...also suggests that the knowledge acquired by the west is not objective, but it actually serves a certain interest. Edward Said in the documentary argues that the Europeans divided the world into two parts; the east and the west or the occident and the orient or the civilized and the uncivilized. This was totally an artificial boundary; and it was laid on the basis of the concept of them and us or theirs and ours. The Europeans used orientalism to define themselves. Some particular attributes were associated with the orientals, and whatever the orientals weren’t the occidents were. The Europeans defined themselves as the superior race compared to the orientals; and they justified their colonization by this concept. They said that it was their duty towards the world to civilize the uncivilized world. Said lays out an argumentation that consists of attempting to show that people of the West hold an inherent and profoundly diminutive and racist view of the Middle East. The views that Westerners have is constructed around Western fantasies of exotic locals and fanatic Arabian people, than with the realities that exist within the Middle East. After watching the documentary one can infer that the reason as to why the west and Europe had been portraying east in such a derogatory manner is because they feared...

... Froot Loops is a brand of sweetened, fruit-flavored breakfast cereal produced by Kellogg's and sold in many countries. The cereal pieces are ring-shaped and come in a variety of bright colors and a blend of fruit flavors . However, there is no actual fruit in Froot Loops, they are only one flavor. This has led to different methods of production in the UK. Kellogg's introduced Froot Loops in September 1962. Originally, there were red, orange, and yellow loops, but green, purple, and blue were added during the 1990s. In the UK, Froot Loops are purple, green and orange, due to the lack of natural colourings for yellow, red and blue, and are also larger in shape. While the marketing sold each individual loops as a different flavor, Kellogg's admitted all share the same fruit blend flavor. Mascots Toucan Sam has been the mascot of Froot Loops since its introduction. Toucan Sam is a blue anthropomorphic toucan; the colors of his bill correspond to the three original froot loop colors. He is portrayed to have the ability to smell out Froot Loops from great distances and invariably locates a concealed bowl of the cereal while intoning, "Follow my nose! For the fruity taste that shows!" or "Follow my nose! It always knows!" The mascot for Froot Loops in Canada was a turtle named Pop Top. Varieties Kelloggs made several varieties of scientific foods, including snack bags called Snack Ums. Snack Ums were similar to the cereal, but larger. Their slogan was "Super-sized bites with deliciously...

...of violence is seen. Setting moods and arousing emotions would be very difficult to do without the arrangement of well-known melodies. Melodies such as “Maryland, My Maryland” and “Dixie” can be heard through-out the film. These tunes were used in order to paint a brighter, not so jumpy mood. Newly composed music is the third type of basic music we hear in The Birth of a Nation. This music is put into the film in order to create new themes that represent the aspect of the story. Casablanca is set around a war which forces the director to switch scenes from America to the Middle East quite often. Source music is used in order to identify scenes. There is a sequence of scenes that switch from an American restaurant and a Middle East restaurant. American music can be heard during the scene of the American restaurant, Rick’s Café, while Middle East music can be heard during the scene of the Middle East restaurant, The Blue Parrot Café. Source music is also used in order to introduce famous melodies. The theme of the film is heard through the song “As Time Goes By”. Source music is also used in order to go along with the moods and emotions of the characters. During the refugee scene source music is used in order to set the mood of the...

...Baglady People often judges other peoples identity, based on their material goods, like houses and cars. They even allow their own capital affect on their own identity. To enter the Good Fortune Shopping mall, you need to have a good identity. The search for an identity is central in Baglady. In her short story, “Baglady” from 1999, A. S. Byatt writes about Daphne whose husband, Rollo, is to go on a business-trip to the Far East. Through 3'rd person narrator, she highlights identity as the theme, showing that how much, people think about their image and identity. Daphne Gulver-Robinson is married to her husband, Rollo, whom she accompanies on a business trip in the Far East. The trip they are going on to, is no a couple trip. Rollo has invited Daphne on the trip, only because he wants to portray him as a normal family, like the others on the trip. He was afraid that his colleges would think that he was odd, if she didn’t come. Because it mean so much for him, that Daphne need to go with him, it gets you thinking that there is something wrong, because it seems like it only matters how everyone thinks he's a family guy, instead of actually being a normal family guy. Daphne thinks that she is a social misfit, because of her appearance, quote from the text “She has tried to make her attractive for this jaunt and has lost ten pounds and had her hands manicured; but now she sees the other ladies, she knows it is not enough". The image and the materialistic things, as appearance...

...In the World War II, the major participants were in a “total state of war” i.e. all the countries involved were using all their available resources and population leaving no difference between civilians and soldiers. It is considered to be the deadliest conflict in human history which resulted in million fatalities. The Nuremberg Trials were a series of military trials held by the victorious Allied forces of World War II most notable for the prosecution of prominent members of the political, military, and economic leadership of the defeated Nazis. After the World War II the laws and procedures were written down for the Nuremberg Trial and at that time using jurisprudence which provides a theory for why we need laws the committee defined a new law “Crime Against Humanity” as “Murder, extermination, enslavement, deportation, and other inhumane acts committed against any civilian population, before or during the war, or persecutions on political, racial or religious grounds in execution of or in connection with any crime within the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, whether or not in violation of the domestic law of the country where perpetrated”. This law was added to the draft and the Nazis were indicted for war crimes, crime against peace and crime against humanity. The new law “Crime Against Humanity” is derived from the “Natural Law” which is oldest law of jurisprudence which states “that the governments and legal systems should reflect the moral and ethical ideas that are inherent...

...CHINA & JAPAN The main issues primary issues that separate China and Japan is mainly the acknowledgement of the roles each country during the second Simo-Japanese war during the second war. The main bowl on contention is the Nanking massacre in which Japan invaded China and conquered and occupied Nanjing, which was then China’s capital for six weeks and the mass rape and murder that ensued by the Japanese imperialist army. At lot of the victims were buried in mass graves level of evil and China claims that 300,000 of its citizens lost their lives even though the veracity of that number is debated.1 The saying goes winners get to write history and losers get the gallows and it means the when two cultures clash the winners live to write the history of the events and war while the losers are obliterated. However, in the case of China and Japan both the winner and loser got to write the history but two different versions of it. Fast-forward to today over 70 years after the Nanjing massacre, the historical significance of this event that is being passed down to younger generations in both countries could not be more different and therein is the problem. 1 The Japanese then to glaze over this event and instead focuses on the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki which makes them looks like victims during the war. One of the official history books being used middle schools in japan refers to the massacre as the incidence, downplaying the atrocities committed during that period.1 China...

...Among the five great religions to which nearly nine-tenths of present-day humanity belong, Buddhism and Christianity have been the most frequent subjects of comparison. And rightly so. Because, together with Islam, and unlike Hinduism and Chinese universism, they are “world religions,” that is to say, forms of belief that have found followers not merely in a single though vast country, but also in wide regions of the world. Buddhism and Christianity, however, differ from Islam in so far as, unlike the latter, they do not stress the natural aspects of world and man, but they wish to lead beyond them. A comparison between Buddhism and Christianity, however, proves so fruitful mainly because they represent, in the purest form, two great distinctive types of religion which arose East and West of the Indus valley. For two millennia, these religious systems have given the clearest expression of the metaphysical ideas prevalent in the Far East and in the Occident, respectively. The similarities between these two religions extend, if I see it rightly, essentially over three spheres: (1) the life history of the founder; (2) ethics; and (3) church history. 1. The biographies of Buddha and Christ show many similar features. Both were born in a miraculous way. Soon after their birth, their future greatness is proclaimed by a sage (Asita, Simeon). Both astonish their teachers through the knowledge they possess, though still in their early childhood. Both are...

...A comparison of the three monotheistic religions in the Middle East reveals that all believe in one God who governs the universe and to whom we are responsible for our actions on Judgment Day. It is the differing views on interpretation of God's word that sets each apart from the others. Judaism According to tradition, God entered into a special relationship with the Jews when he spoke directly to them at Mt. Sinai: if they would acknowledge Him as their ultimate God and agree to obey His laws, He would acknowledge the Jews as his special people and promised them the land now known as Israel. The Torah, the Holy Book of Judaism, is God's will expressed as commandments. There is no mortal person alone who governs the Jewish faith but each rabbi is the instrument of his own synagogue in order to relay God's oral commandments to the congregation. Jewish tradition dictates that prayers be given three times a day: morning, afternoon, and evening. No work is allowed on the Sabbath so that Jews can spend the day in prayer, study, rest, and family feasting. The Jews believe the Messiah has yet to make himself known to those here on earth. It is their belief that virtue and obedience will be rewarded in the next life and that the suffering and forced exile they have endured will be addressed at the end of time. Christianity Christians believe in one God and that Jesus Christ was sent by him to convey God's love to those here on earth. Though seen as being...

...Nations and Far East countries were very isolated and had minimal interaction between each other. The fact of the matter was that before Vasco De Gama’s voyage from Portugal to India at the end of the 15th century, travel from Europe to the East was far too treacherous. However, things started to change during the 16th century. The early modern world was able to become more interconnected through the exchange of goods, slave trade, and the exchange of military tactics, which in turn presented nations with the opportunity to grow and prosper. The exchange of goods between the European Nations and the East exhibited the interconnectedness present during the early modern world. Fashion had always been a significant part of European society, but the calico craze that existed at the end of the seventeenth century and throughout the eighteenth century forced European Nations to interact heavily with these Eastern countries that possessed such resources: New consumer forces were at work in England in the late seventeenth century; these forces were manifested in the craze for calicoes and other sorts of cottons wrought in the East Indies. The arrival of cotton textiles in the English market brought to a comparatively prosperous population a new sort of commodity, another of the lighter fabrics so much in demand in the early industrial period (Lemire, 3) The Indian cloth was so fashionable for a couple of different reasons. For one, it was extremely light in comparison to wool and...

...Since 1945 East Berliners have been subjected to a double colonization, first by the Soviets immediately following World War II, and an almost neo-colonization after the fall of the Wall by West Germany. After the Wall came down, Germany embarked “on a nationbuilding process, integrating two radically different and inherently unequal geographical entities into one political, economic, and cultural system”. This was prompted by the new government’s sole focus on making a bid for Berlin to host the 2000 Summer Olympic Games. The city started to change physically as construction began in areas like Potsdamer Platz. East Berliners felt they could not influence the process at hand and must simply adapt to the current environment created by the new political decisions. Unemployment and competition in the open market increased for everyone, creating feelings of insecurity and inferiority for the unemployed and from some of the employed that feared losing their jobs. As those in East Berlin were unaccustomed to a free market economy, some people fell into depression and long-term instability. Now operating as a single and united Berlin, there was the need to eliminate the duplication of city services such as police, fire, and postal, as reunification rendered the separate systems redundant. These actions were duplicated in Berlin’s cultural sphere. During the Cold War Eastern and Western parts of the city competed for international recognition of their cultural facilities, as it was a...

...CHAPTER 3 LITERATURE REVIEW 3.1 Introduction In the past, a number of studies have attempted to unravel the dynamics behind trade and development in the East African region but the results have been mixed and in some instances, confusing. Thus, whereas most of the studies reviewed so far reveal East African intra-regional trade to be low (i.e. less than 10 percent of total trade flows for most East African countries except for Kenya), studies sponsored by USAID-REDSO and carried out by Ackello Ogutu and Protase Echessa (1996) and (1998) show the opposite. The Ogutu et.al.,1996, study entitled “Unrecorded Cross Border Trade between Kenya and Uganda”, and “Unrecorded Trade Between Tanzania and Neighbouring Countries, 1998”, respectively, show...
