...Irina Carlota Silber. Silber’s argument is founded on the premise that the post-war culture of El Salvador continues to project a violent “revolutionary” environment, which has made many of the women that fought in the revolution the “subjects” of neoliberal globalization. In this manner, many of the “revolutionaries” are examined through an anthropological gender analysis to identify the reactionary nature of post-war identity that continues to divide communities and also creates the “trans-border” family. More so, Silber (2010) argues that many women are presented as being symbolized as “masculinized” women, but the underlying patriarchal values of El Salvadoran society continue into the post-war era. Therefore, the issue of gender roles continues define some of the myths of “feminism” that have been historically defined as part of the women’s movement in the FMNL during the revolution....

...Otilio Montano Introduction In the course of life, there comes a time when man has to sacrifice life, as they know it for the greater good. During these instances, can be man forced to sacrifice life itself. In every generation, there is always those who strive to fight for the rights of others. Such people usually pay a hefty price for their bravery and approach to life. More often than not, those who sacrifice their lives for the better good of the society usually face the brunt of the opposing parties. History is rife with instances where brave men and women have faced rather unfortunate or even gruesome deaths. Still, in spite of the risk for early demise or severe suffering, people still are able to fight for what they believe. Devoid of such people, the society would not have been characterized with the level of development that is present today. It is because past generations fought for the rights of the people that the contemporary society has been able to enjoy some basic rights. One of the people who sacrificed a lot for the betterment of the society is Otilio Montano. He sacrificed his life for the greater good of the Mexican people. Together with others with similar mindset, he was able to bring change in Mexico. The impact of his contribution to society is attested by the actuality that decades after his demise, he is still highly valued in Mexican history. Otilio Montano died at a tender young age of 30 years old. Despite his limited time on earth, he was...

...Karl maex A Marxist Analysis of an Italian Block Buster - By Vrinda Aggarwal Post the cold war Communism and Marxism remained mere philosophies which couldn't stand the test of time. They were either “impractical" modes of organizing economy and polity or rather were theories which were more advanced than the ages in which they were tested. It is thus the farsightedness of Marx which makes his theory extremely relevant for people to at least study. Marx principally focused on observation and historical analysis. According to him there were two Classes in the society - The Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat. The former was the class which owned all the resources and organized production, the later is the laboring class who own nothing but their own physical power to run the machines. Thus both the producers and the workers are in a symbiotic relationship. Still we see that the capitalist can survive for a longer time without the worker as compared to the vice versa, putting the workers in a compromising position. Thus in the fight of wage determination, the capitalists tend to win, thereby fixing the wage rate which is sufficient for survival (which according to Marx s living like cattle). According to the Marxist ideology, “when the capitalists and the laborers suffer equally, the worker suffers in his very existence, the capitalist in the profit on his dead mammon. The worker...

...Joshua Gordon Document Analysis ANTH 349 External analysis of the documents show that the paper in which it was written is of high rag paper which was in use until the industrial revolution at the end of the 18th century and therefore we may conclude it is consistent with the day claimed. The ink used was a pure black “India ink” known also as Chinese ink (A Short History of Ink). This was the type of ink used to write the Dead Sea Scrolls in the third century BC, except the base was Cinnabar not the more commonly used carbon, so we know this type of ink is a known ink at the time and consistent with the claimed date of the document. Furthermore the ink is made from finely powdered lampblack which is a type of carbon held together by glue. The Chinese used small brushes with this type of ink instead of pens because even though it is a writing ink it had an even broader application as an ink used for drawing and was popular with artists for architectural design. This may prove as a clue to whether or not there is any credibility to the theory that there was a third page to the document showing a map of the Ironworks and grounds since this is the type of ink used for technical drawing purposes such as these. The pen is described as appearing to have been a hand cut crow quill pen. The quill pen dates back to the sixth century and until the steel pen point was invented in the 19th century quills were the main writing instruments of the civilized world (Carter). Thus we may...

This is a rhetorical analysis on Marjane Satrapi’s story and we’ll see how the writer attempts to change the perception people have on the middle-east countries.

She believes that people in the middle-east countries have the power to revolutionize their culture and fight for what they believe in. The writer is able to express the struggles and sufferings of the victims in the middle-east. Marjane Satrapi is shaped by the events in her life to become a rebel and through this, she is able to make the audience understand why people start and join revolutions in the middle-east. The writer is of the opinion that their culture is deeply flawed and in the beginning of the story, she is displeased that she has to wear a veil to school as it is mandatory for girls to wear veils, “Then came 1980: the year it became obligatory to wear the veil at school” (Satrapi, page 4), and the fact that boys and girls are still separated in school and can’t learn together. The writer mentions about her French school which was shut down because it was non-religious. The writer seeks to display the extent of cultural inequity and the social injustices...

...An Analysis of the Changing Identities Influencing Iran’s Development The multifaceted political and socio-cultural context of the Middle-East often leads to misunderstandings about the nature of its society. In order to be fully aware of the reasoning as to why states in the Middle-East do what they do, an in depth analysis linking both the past and present is necessary. The continuous disorder portrayed in the news has created a negative image of the Middle-East. In the case of Iran, this is especially true. Similarly to many other states in the Middle-East, Iran’s past can be characterized by perpetual ideological conflict, rivaling tribal factions and a difficulty in sustaining a lasting identity. In contrast, however, Iran was among several developing nations to escape direct colonialism.[1] Nevertheless, “economic domination and imperial manipulation describe Europe’s relationship with Iran for much of the century leading up to 1950.”[2] In understanding Iran’s flux of identities throughout the 20th century, several notions must be clarified. Firstly, Iran is not an Arab nation nor have they adopted Arabic language or culture. Secondly, the Shi’a minority in Iran, and their lingering divergence in beliefs compared to that of the Sunnis and the West has always been an issue with respect to their distinctiveness as a nation. That being said, Iran’s inability to sustain a lasting individuality is directly related to the differing...

...Does the film Huang tudi (Yellow Earth) offer a critique of the Communist revolution? If so where and how? Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou’s Yellow Earth is a meaningful and controversial film that highlights the young and old, realist and idealist, as well as the ideal utopia and bounded bureaucracies – touching on the notion of fate. Set in early 1939 in China, Yellow Earth follows the story of Gu Qing, a Chinese Communist Party (CCP) soldier sent out among the peasants in Northern Shaanxi to collect folksongs, to which the Communists intend to rewrite new lyrics to help inspire soldiers and peasant followers to fight the Japanese invasion and work towards the revolution. Gu Qing comes across a village holding a wedding procession and is invited to join the feast. He stays at a peasant’s home, and meets a father with a daughter (Cuiqiao) and a son (Hanhan). There are several significant scenes in the film that suggests the filmmaker’s potential critique of the Communist revolution (CR). The film begins with a magnificent panning view of the vast and mountainous landscape. As with many nationalistic films, landscape plays a very important role, as it indirectly depicts the village peasants as slaves to the land, and a sense of hopelessness that comes with working the land. The several slow scenes focused on the horizon and landscape also represent the notion of an ‘unchanging China’, and it’s backwardness with it’s social and political margins. The film has many scenes depicting...

...Matthew Galvin American Revolution Professor Kelley November 21, 2014 George Roberts Twelves Hewes and the American Revolution In the years leading up to the American Revolution, the city of Boston became a hot bed of colonist rebellion against the British Government. The citizens in Boston, of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, had become fed up with unjustified taxation levied against them by the British. The colonists of Boston also saw it to be problematic that the colonies were subject to British rule, but were not represented in Parliament. In the half-decade prior to the Revolutionary War, the city of Boston hosted two monumental events that rallied the colonists into the direction of independence; the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. A man named George Roberts Twelve Hewes had the honor of being able to witness and take direct involvement in both the Massacre and the Tea Party. George Roberts Twelve Hewes was born and raised in Massachusetts and saw the development of the Revolution from the perspective of an “everyday” colonist. He was born on August 25th, 1742. Hewes was a shoemaker by trade and was never able to amount an impressive net worth. If anything, it can be argued that Hewes was very much more poverty stricken than anything else. Money never seemed to influence Hewes’s actions; instead George Roberts Twelve Hewes was a man of principal and integrity. Prior to the Revolutionary War, Hewes participated in both the Boston Massacre and Boston Tea Party...

...The Evolution of International Tourism Trace the course of tourism history from the 18th century Grand Tour to the present day. Discuss and evaluate the importance of broad economic and social developments, e.g. industrialisation, urbanisation, modernisation, in the growth of mass tourism and consider to what extent tourism in the 21st century, with its emphasis on ‘individual experience’, represents a ‘postmodern’ return to the pre-modernity of the Grand Tour. THE EVOLUTION OF INTERTNAIONAL TOURISM With economies growing on a daily basis across the world, an element to every economy, the word tourism receives a growing definition too. This can be interpreted as a leisure activity or a use of leisure time, with the exchange of the ordinary for the extraordinary, such an individual or group seeking this can be identified as tourists (lecture notes). Such interpretations have evolved over time from previous definitions to help represent the concept as successfully as it can. I will trace the course of tourism history from the 18th century Grand Tour to the present day. Discussing and evaluating the importance of broad economic and social developments, e.g. industrialisation, urbanisation, modernisation, in the growth of mass tourism and considering to what extent tourism in the 21st century, with its emphasis on ‘individual experience’, representing a ‘postmodern’ return to the pre-modernity of the Grand Tour with understanding of the historical and chronological evolution...

...A workers’ revolt; a mutiny of peasant soldiers; a political revolution? Which of these best describes the February revolution, and why did the Tsarist system fall in February 1917? The Russian revolution of February 1917 was a momentous event in the course of Russian history. Its causes, nature and effect are complex and critical in the analysis of twentieth century international history. The revolution began in Petrograd as a workers’ revolt in response to bread shortages, and was aimed at the Tsarist system because it was believed that the government was hoarding the bread in order to drive up prices. However a workers’ revolt, by itself, is very unlikely to result in the abdication of the Tsar, and a critical phase of the revolution was the mutiny of the Petrograd garrison, and the loss of control over Petrograd that the Tsar experienced. Marxist historians have grossly exaggerated the extent of political involvement in the revolution, and it would be fair to say that only at a very late stage of the revolution did socialist political parties become involved. The Tsarist system fell for many reasons: the war against Germany meant that troops could not be deployed in force against the revolutionaries; the Tsar underestimated the extent of the revolts in Petrograd until it was too late; and the Tsar was convinced by his generals that only the Duma could deal with the situation. All of these events were necessary to bring down an autocratic system centuries old, and deeply...

...A Critical Review of STRATEGY AS REVOLUTION Introduction Hamel strategic revolution seems to be the value of re-cognition. In the "Strategy is revolution", Hamel said that "Let us face the reality of it: the world is about to reach the asymptotic limit of the development." For enterprises, "or else it will hand over to the next challenger who has a revolutionary or innovation spirit, or on their company's strategic approach to a revolution." Therefore, Hamel made to establish a new strategic concept: "Strategy is Revolution, everything else is just tactics Optimization, Innovation and Revolution Strategy There are several theoretical debates in business strategy namely prescriptive versus emergent (Carr et al, 2004), positioning versus resource based view (Mosakowski, 1998) and innovation versus optimization (Johnston et al, 2001). In this article, innovation versus optimization which concentrates on the transformation of the industry is the mainly debate to discuss. In a broader context that innovation means new approach to doing business (Slavik, 2002, p. 43). The human now, face of one pair of sharp social contradictions: on the one hand: the uses of various resources available are scarce; on the other hand, the human desire is infinite, and will not stay at a certain level. Therefore, the nature of the economy is to make a choice, to the appropriate allocation and full use of scarce resources to produce products, and assigned to social groups and members...

...by Joseph J. Ellis is a novel that mainly focuses on the time period that John Adams was retired. Something that would marvel the reader, is that it is not really a saga over John Adams, but actually is an analysis more or less. The books analysis over John Adams has an astonishing amount of detail over his life. Mainly after his presidency and during his retirement, but does talk about his education and his early life as well. Ellis’ main thesis throughout the book is stating that John Adams is one of the Founding Fathers of the United States that is still in the shadow of some of the most famous Founding fathers such as George Washington or even Ben Franklin. In other ways Ellis expresses that we the people of...

How hard is it to determine the analytical boundaries between the state, market, and society in this case? ONU se reúne tras supuesto uso de armas químicas Los estados interactúan ya que son los encargados de mantener la seguridad de cada país, por eso acuden a las organizaciones que se ocupan de este tipo de asuntos. Los mercados pueden verse afectados por las consecuencias de este tipo de ataques y estos dos se implica la sociedad ya que es la afectada de lo que resulte esta situación. Es fácil distinguir los límites de cada parte en este tema ya que el que tiene la mayor responsabilidad es el estado. 2.

...Name: - R B V Pratap Singh Roll No. 47LLB14 Synopsis Property Law Women's Right to Property under Hindu law: A Legal Analysis Introduction:- In India, it is no doubt that a woman is seen as pristine, pious and worshipped on one hand but on the other hand she faces discrimination against her gender identity and victimized by the societal norms created in male dominant society. She never got the legitimate place and never enjoyed a respected position in the society even after all the civilization and societal revolutions. Male superiority is still a legitimate concern for any society and adverse conditions for women are still widely prevalent. The emancipation of women and the accomplishment of full balance between genders should dependably be the essential goal of society. Such denial cannot be justified on any grounds – political, moral or legal and not even biological. If we look through the ancient Hindu Society, a woman did not enjoy any reasonable social status and looked upon as a dependent with hardly any property rights. Under the old Mitakshara Law, the son attains an interest and right in the family property on birth. According to this school, a son, grandson, and a great grandson constitute a class of coparceners, based on births in family. No female is a member of the coparcenary in Mitakshara Law. The constitution of India guarantees equality of opportunity and equal status to both men and women citizen. Since article 14 of the Constitution enshrines...
