...by doing the heinous activities they would get their point across. It is also important to see what theoretical perspectives the Boko Haram ties into and lastly how globalization and the global village fall into it as well. The Boko Haram is a Nigeria radical Islamist group that has caused numerous havoc throughout Africa. The groups official name is Jama’atu Ahlis Sunna Lidda’awati wal-Jihad, which means “People Committed to the Propagation of the Prophet’s Teachings.” Boko Haram was founded in 2002 by Mohammed Yusuf. The group was taken over by Abubakar Shekau when Yusuf was killed in 2009. Boko Haram promotes a “version of Islam which makes it "haram", or forbidden, for Muslims to take part in any political or social activity associated with Western society” (BBC News). This included voting in elections, wearing shirts and trousers or receiving a secular education. A main goal that the group pushed to achieve was to create an Islamic state. They have committed horrific acts in Africa by dropping bombs, assassinations, and abductions as well as numerous others. One of the things they were recognized for was the “use of gunmen on motorbikes, killing police, politicians and anyone who criticized it, including clerics from other Muslim traditions and Christian preachers” (BBC News). They are also known for abductions like...

...for the students. This concerns not much of the course but everyone in the campus who works and studies. This is an eternal issue that couldn’t be prevented because it is a natural calamity, though won’t be prevented, there’s still a good remedy for it. A better way of going to school would be proposed when the problem is totally learned and understood. Students maybe listened more to have an additional credits in school rules during floods. This problem should be given much attention for it happens often and should have a solution earlier to hand down any new school laws to generations to come in the next following years. Theoretical Background Flood geology (also creation geology or diluvial geology) is the interpretation of the geological history of the Earth in terms of the global flood described in Genesis 6–9. Similar views played a part in the early development of the science of geology, even after the Biblical chronology had been rejected by geologists in favor of an ancient Earth. Modern flood geologists, who are almost always Young Earth creationists, regard the...

As the attacks and kidnapping got worse, it was bound to happen that this issue would like go national. The most high profile act was done in 2014, where they kidnapped the traditional ruler of Cameroonian Town (Schneider). The battle with Boko Haram has been steady, but the war isn’t going to end any time soon. They need more government help, economic development, advanced technology, and more time to prepare. There are many theoretical perspectives that could related to this national issue. Two theoretical perspectives that play an important role in this are functionalist and conflict theory. Functionalist perspective interprets how each part in society plays an important role to the stability of society as a...

Cultures are getting closer and closer, and this is something that translators need to take more into account. Translocating the Subject: The Re- Sited Structures of O. V. Vijayan’s Translations problematizes O. V. Vijayan‟s novel translations in this new global locality. This is a new aspect that is gaining focus in the field of world literary translation studies. Hence this is an attempt to initiate fresh discussions on the link between translation and globalization in the translations by OV Vijayan (1930- 2005), one of the key figures in Malayalam literature. New Canonization The introductory chapter “New Canonization”, proposes analyse the terms “translocating the subject” and “globalization” and envisages to take a serious look at the author particularly in the context of the changing terms of Translation Studies within the context of globalization as well as of postcolonial discussions on translation. Globalization and translation both deal with languages and cultures. They attempt to remove cultural and language barriers but while translation targets better understanding among people and maintains cultural diversity, globalization moves towards reducing languages and cultures to the language and culture of the global village. Translation helps people to appreciate others and respect their ways of thinking...

For personal use only. Marshall Sahlins Department of Anthropology, University of Chicago, Chicago, Illinois 60637; e-mail: m-sahlins@uchicago.edu Key Words: modernity, indigenization, translocality, culture, development n Abstract A broad reflection on some of the major surprises to anthropological theory occasioned by the history, and in a number of instances the tenacity, of indigenous cultures in the twentieth century. We are not leaving the century with the same ideas that got us there. Contrary to the inherited notions of progressive development, whether of the political left or right, the surviving victims of imperial capitalism neither became all alike nor just like us. Contrary to the “despondency theory” of mid-century, the logical and historical precursor of dependency theory, surviving indigenous peoples aim to take cultural responsibility for what has been done to them. Across large parts of northern North America, even hunters and gatherers live, largely by hunting and gathering. The Eskimo are still there, and they are still Eskimo. Around the world the peoples give the lie to received theoretical oppositions between tradition and change, indigenous culture and modernity, townsmen and tribesmen, and other clichés of the received anthropological wisdom. Reports of the...

...Global Marketing The foreign marketing involvement of a manufacturing company may widely vary from a state of no direct involvement to a state of total involvement. Several types of involvement are generally observed, even though they are not mutually exclusive nor sequentially progressive. Depending on the kind and degree of its involvement in foreign marketing, a firm has to re-orient and re-organize its activities to cope with different levels of operational responsibilities inherent in such involvement. To throw some light on the issue, some guidelines are available from what is called EPRG orientation. The EPRG framework attempts, four broad types of orientation of a firm towards foreign marketing. This paper aims to suggest a model to assist when deciding which foreign investor to select. In much of the current literature on the problem faced by the small transitional countries/companies, globalization by foreign transnational companies (TNCs) is considered to be the generic expansion strategy. The question is, however, which foreign investor to select. The paper evaluates the potentials of the EPRG scheme (Ethnocentrism, Polycentrism, Regiocentrism, and Geocentrism) in choosing foreign investor. It enables company to analyze and predict its competitors' behavior. (Biljana Crnjak-Karanovič). The Ethnocentric, Polycentric, Regiocentric, and Geocentric Framework (EPRG) dates back to Perlmuter (1969) and his associates Wind and Douglas (1973). The EPRG framework identifies...

...‘Society has now entered a new postmodern age and we need new theories to understand to understand it.’ Assess this view. Sociologists all agree there is something called Modernity and Post Modernity-where they differ is which one they think society currently is. Theories such as feminism, Marxism, and functionalism are structural and believe society influences the individual. Whilst theories like post modernism and interactionism are non-structural and believe that the individual influences society. There are major changes that have occurred in society recently such as: the growing impact of new technology and the media, and new social and political movements (based on gender, environmental concerns and so on). What is being questioned is the nature, cause and effect of these changes which have different theories for explanation. The first argument is that the changes are so profound they represent a major shift from the modern century of the last two centuries, to a new post modern society. The second argument is that recent changes have been significant but they are still a part of modern society- just an intensification of the existing features of a modern society. The second argument is seemingly more valid, especially in terms of science and trying to prove post modernism. For post modernism argues that nothing can be proved to be true and take on a relativism method also supporting interpretivism. if this is the case the theory itself cannot be proven to be true hence...

...exchanges. This has had a particular effect on the music industry, becoming a powerfully influential tool in the global music market and cultural music practices. The changes that globalisation has caused can be either viewed as hindering expressive cultural development or providing new opportunities for cultural hybridisation. Although there are distinct fallbacks, the benefits of this new global music industry have been substantial. Globalisation facilitates the development of an enriching and creative music culture and provides credits to otherwise known cultural music, shown through the examples of Korean’s K-Pop and Nigeria’s Afrobeats. Globalisation ‘refers to the rapidly developing process of complex interconnections between societies, cultures, institutions and individuals world-wide.’ (Tomlinson, 1999, pp.165) This process is commonly depicted as a beneficial force, unifying a range of different global societies and incorporating them into a “global village”, therefore enriching all cultures involved. Globalisation in the media industry is formed through the convergence of media organisations and the reconstruction of the media industries along global lines, creating a number of transnational conglomerates with immense power. This has been amenable to many media forms, in particular the music industry. For the music industry to gain popularity in the global world, it must expand to resonate to an audience near and far. Many scholars and musicians propose that popular...

...Today’s world is a global village. Everyone is connected to one another in this vast network generated by the Internet. As said by Marshall McLuhan, a philosopher of communication theory, “The new electronic independence re-creates the world in the image of a global village.” This electronic independence is inherently dependent upon the Internet. It illuminates the lives of thousands of people by spreading knowledge internationally, thereby making us global citizens. In the past, the communicating and free sharing of thoughts among people were restricted by long distance, nationality and/or religion. But now, even these barriers cannot stop the flow of information and knowledge. The new world of social networking allows free sharing of thoughts. Online social networks are created by websites such as Facebook, which has emerged as a giant in this social world. So how do these networks affect our education? How do they influence the lives of students? Humans are social animals. We always like to remain in some group or another, and we prefer to follow what this group does. All of our traditions and cultures are the product of this group-oriented facet of human nature. A well-known American psychologist, Abraham Maslow, stated in his “Theory of Motivation” that the social need of human beings is the third most important requirement after our physical and safety needs — the third tier in his hierarchy of needs. Even our self-esteem comes after this social dependence. This is the...

...CONRAD P. KOTTAK Department of Anthropology University of Michigan Ann Arbor, MI 48109 The New Ecological Anthropology Older ecologies have been remiss in the narrowness of their spatial and temporal horizons, their functionalist assumptions, and their apolitical character. Suspending functionalist assumptions and an emphasis upon (homeo)stasis, "the new ecological anthropology" is located at the intersection of global, national, regional, and local systems, studying the outcome of the interaction of multiple levels and multiple factors. It blends theoretical and empirical research with applied, policy-directed, and critical work in what Rappaport called an "engaged" anthropology; and it is otherwise attuned to the political aspects and implications of ecological processes. Carefully laying out a critique of previous ecologies by way of announcing newer approaches, the article insists on the need to recognize the importance of culture mediations in ecological processes rather than treating culture as epiphenomenal and as a mere adaptive tool. It closes with a discussion of the methodologies appropriate to the new ecological anthropology. / "the new ecology, " political ecology, applied or engaged anthropology, linkages methodology] cological anthropology was named as such during the 1960s, but it has many ancestors, including Daryll Forde, Alfred Kroeber, and, especially, Julian Steward. Steward's cultural ecology influenced the ecological anthropology of Roy Rappaport...

...Society has now entered a new postmodern age and we need new theories to understand it, assess this view (33 marks) Most meta-narrative theories such as Functionalism and Marxism can be described as 'modernist' theories in that they explain the workings of 'modern society'. Modern society first emerged in Western Europe from about the late 18th century following the industrial revolution and the mass industrialisation of the western world. Modern can be distinguished from previous traditional societies in a number of ways. Firstly, the nation-state is the key political unit in modern society, we tend to think of the modern world as made up of a series of separate societies, each with its own state. In contrast to the small traditional feudal society where one had to look after themselves, modern nation states have created large administrative bureaucracies and educational, welfare and legal institutions to regulate their citizens lives. The nation state is also an important source of identity for citizens, who identify with its symbols such as the flag. Modern societies run off a capitalist economy. Capitalism brought about the industrialisation of modern society and with it the massive wealth modern nation-states now possess. However the wealth distribution within modern societies is unequal, resulting in class conflict according to the Marxist theology. The nation-state is important in regulating capitalism resulting in something Lash and Urry call 'organised...

...Personal Understanding of Theory of Knowledge Essay Student’s Name College Personal Understanding of Theory of Knowledge Essay The human nature has divergent understanding and views about certain issues of concern. This is attributed to the fact that people are unique and are from divergent backgrounds thus making them have different views about certain aspects of life. (Heydorn, 2013). Many people believe that solutions to their problems can only be found from what is within their reach. Alternatively, it might be argued that the saying is a desperate way of looking for solutions to problems. Therefore, the need to look into issues in a broad and holistic way cannot be underestimated when one is faced with difficult situations. However, sometimes people fail to accommodate other’s divergent emotions, reasons, cultural practices, and perceptions. These are sometimes influenced by an individual’s preformed opinions of being the best in the society (Spradlin, 2010). Similarly, the society may fail to approve a person’s immoral doing irrespective of the justifications or the circumstances which are offered for such actions. Ideally, handling certain situations may call for the parties involved or whoever in in-charge of the resolution to compromise their stand to certain extent. Overall, education is considered to be one of the most important assets that the governments or parents can offer their citizens and children respectively (Woempner, 2008). The economic and social...
