...Gender Stratification In this paper, I am going to address gender stratification in relation to Marriage, Sexuality, and Reproductive health issues. I am going to use Monique and the Mango Rains written by Kri Holloway as ethnographic data, which she collected in Mali. My interpretations of gender stratification in Mali are women did not have the rights to choose their husband; women did not have ways to control the sex life and do not have ways to do birth control; women had to face extremely hard reproductive health issues. To start with, I would like to give some background analysis about gender norms and stratification in Mali. Mali is landlocked in the West Africa and it is one of the poorest countries in the world. According to the book, there was even no toilet paper in the Malian villages. I couldn’t imagine how poor this country is, but I think the fact of “The right hand is considered clean, the left dirty” is quiet shocking (page. 7). In Mali, the social systems are Patrilocal and Patrilinieal. When people get married in Mali, the wife joins the husband in his father’s home or compound, where they form a family and raise their children. Normally, the household has a senior member to lead the family in terms of allocate resources and direct labors. Also, the descent follows the father’s line in Mali. According to the book, “The Minianka were patrilineal, where the woman becomes part of the husband’s family, and children carry on their father’s name and...

...Ernest Santucci Geog 110 Lesson 7 8/4/11 1. Explain the concept of development. Identify the two categories used to describe a country’s level of development. How are these categories helpful in understanding the global state of development? Also, what are the major shortcomings of this categorization scheme? Rubinstein explains development as the process of improving the material conditions of people through the diffusion of knowledge and technology. Development can take many forms: economic, agricultural, human, educational, ecological, structural, political and others. The principal goal is to move a state or society to another, more advanced stage and enabling better living conditions including health and longevity. Two fundamental categories used in identifying states are LDC (less developed countries) and MDC (more developed countries). The designations are useful in providing a basic indicator of the conditions of a state in relation to the world as a whole. Most often the designations points to aspects of the state’s economy, human development, politics and demographic transition. During the Cold War the LDC’s were known as Third World countries. It was a handy reference to use in determining a number or relevant issues related to economics and security. As a broad designation the categories do not go far enough into details of particular areas of concern, and do not necessarily indicate what goods or services are accessible within the state or at what...

...masses. He, after educating his wife, opened the first school for girls in India in August 1848. In September 1873, Jotirao, along with his followers, formed the Satya Shodhak Samaj (Society of Seekers of Truth) with the main objective of liberating the Bahujans, Shudras and Ati-Shudras and protecting them from exploitation and atrocities. For his fight to attain equal rights for peasants and the lower caste and his contributions to the field of education, he is regarded as one of the most important figures of the Social Reform Movement in Maharashtra. Dhananjay Keer, his biographer, notes him as "the father of Indian social revolution" Early life Jotirao Govindrao Phule was born in Satara district of Maharastra in a family belonging to Mali (Fulmali) caste, a lower caste. His father, Govindrao, was a vegetable vendor. Originally Jotirao's family, known as Gorhays, came from Katgun, a village in Taluka- Khatav, District- Satara. His grandfather Shetiba Gorhay settled down in Pune. Since Jotirao's father and two uncles served as florists under the last of the Peshwas, they came to be known as 'Phules'. (Reference- P.G. Patil, Collected Works of Mahatma Jotirao Phule, Vol-II, published by Education department, Govt. of Maharashtra). His...

...------------------------------------------------- Albanian cuisine The cuisine of Albania is influenced by Turkish, Greek, and Italian cuisines, as well as ancient Greek, ancient Roman and Byzantine cooking. Every region in Albania and Kosovo has its own unique dishes. Albanian cuisine is characterized by the use of various mediterranean herbs such as Oregano, Black Pepper, Mint, Basil, Rosemary and more in cooking meat and fish. Olive oiland butter is also a main ingredient in different dishes. In Albania, meat (lamb, cow, rabbit and chicken) is used heavily in various dishes in most of the country. Seafood specialties are also common in the coastal areas such as Durrës, Vlorë,Shkoder, Lezhe and Sarandë. Vegetables are used in almost every dish. Usually, Albanian farmers grow every vegetable present in the Mediterranean region and sell them at the local Farmers Market. Vegetables are brought fresh at the Farmers Market early in the morning and this market is opened everyday. The main meal of the Albanians is lunch, which usually consists of gjellë, the main dish of slowly cooked meat, and a salad of fresh vegetables, such as tomatoes, cucumbers, greenpeppers, and olives. The salad is dressed with olive oil, vinegar, and salt. ------------------------------------------------- Appetizers * Bread (Bukë) or Corn Bread (Bukë misri) are ever present on the Albanian table. Hence the expression for "Going to eat a meal" (Albanian:për të ngrënë bukë) can be literally translated...
