...Conclusion………………………………………………………………………....10 6. Bibliography………………………………………………………………………..11 Introduction I have been interested for many years in multiculturalism and have strengthened this interest and gained some useful insight by choosing the Seminar “Multicultural Britain”. This seminar shed a light on current British debates, concerning multiculturalism. In everyday’s life I can see in many different branches, like arts, education or business, just to mention a few, how people of different heritage facing each other often competitive and sometimes even negative or racist. This topic caught my interest because I simply do not want more war; and there is no doubt that there is a war against Islam and Muslims, however it may express its power. The special example of Islamophobia, which is a widespread and controversial topic, addresses or rather attacks Islam and Muslims. Not all racist movements manifest their values in political activism. It is rather a matter of educational, cultural, social and ethical norms and values. Therefore I find it necessary to introduce my work with a brief overview of Islamophobia in multicultural British society. In any case, basic background knowledge will be helpful by understanding what is happening with our society and illustrates, or directly names the problems most Muslims facing, day by day and what really causes such a controversy. With my special focus of Islamophobia in the educational sector, I try to...

...1. Origins of Indirect Rule Indirect rule emerged in Nigeria around 1900 when the British government established the Niger Committee, a council that investigated the state of future Nigerian territories. The Committee proposed that chiefs and their respective native institutions should be used in the administration of Nigeria. Such a proposal was prompted by several different groups within Britain who believed that indirect rule would be a more effective colonial system than the Crown Colony administration. These groups, including Lieutenant-Governor in Arrow of God, condemned a native administration composed of white men, claiming that instead of replacing native institutions, the British must “purge the native system of its abuses to build a higher civilization upon the soundly rooted native stock” (Achebe 56). They championed humanitarian issues and the growth of the British Empire in their campaign, to gain public support. Once such key figure, Mary Kingsley, an English ethnographic writer who explored West Africa, argued that since Africans were an uncivilized, inferior race, it would be futile to “rule him through institutions modeled on European lines, as the missionaries and the Colonial Office had been doing. Africans… should be ruled through their own institutions.” (Kingsley, Travels in West Africa, 20) She also pointed to the unnecessarily high cost of the Crown Colony system as well as the high death rate of Europeans due to the dangerous climate. Indeed, as Achebe...

Introduction Monarchy was the primary government form for a majority of European countries before 1914 (Bogdanor, 1995). However, in modern Europe, few countries retain the monarchies. The United Kingdom, as one of the most developed countries, still maintains the position of monarch as the head of state. Today’s British monarchy, which is also called a Constitutional Monarchy, is quite different from the past ‘absolute monarchy’. “The monarchical shell remains intact, but the inner workings have been taken over by party political leaders,” says Norton (2007). In the past, the monarch...

...Post-secondary Education in the West: British Columbia vs Alberta My “Run-off” is between the departments of Advanced Education in British Columbia and in Alberta. The Advanced Education (or post-secondary education) programs fall within the responsibility of similar Ministries in both provinces. I reviewed the fiscal cycle for 2012-2013 which was the latest period for which actual results were available in both provinces. During the period between planning and accountability reporting, the Ministry portfolio in both provinces changed slightly, however, advanced education and training remained the primary focus of the Ministry in both provinces. In 2012 – planning year for 2012-2013 - post-secondary education fell under the BC Ministry of Advanced Education, which changed to the Ministry of Advanced Education, Innovation and Technology by the time the results were reported in 2012-2013. In Alberta, during the planning part of the accountability cycle in 2012, post-secondary education was the responsibility of the Ministry of Advanced Education and Technology but changed slightly to be the Ministry of Advanced Education and Enterprise by the reporting time in 2013. In all cases, the Ministries had the responsibility for the oversight of the publically funded universities and other post-secondary institutes within their respective provinces. Since the portfolios changed slightly from planning to reporting, I focused only on the post-secondary objectives, measures, and...

...communalism, superstitions, educational backwardness and women’s oppression. Modern rational and scientific ideas, secularism, tolerance, and economic empowerment of the people were propagated in the writings of national leaders. The newspapers, particularly, served in conscientizing literate and educated people about the need for social reforms and political independence. Until 1950, the newspapers no doubt, served in inspiring people of the country towards a change in their thinking about social transformation, economic empowerment and the establishment of a strong foundation for democracy. But in recent decades, a decline in the functioning of the press/media has set in. This paper attempts to present a glimpse of events through which the all types of media have passed. Reference is also made to the recent technological changes in our media world and the serious ethical questions they have raised about media’s performance. Introduction Authentic and available sources describe the birth of Indian journalism in 1780 with Hicky’s Gazette (James August...

...Explain the term 'conventions' as used in the extract. (5 marks)! The United Kingdom has an uncodified constitution; meaning no single, comprehensive document exists in order to outline the structure and workings of government institutions and relationships between them, and between the government institutions and the private citizen. Constitutional experts argue that this is not to say that our constitution is non-existent, rather it exists in various sources. 'Conventions' are an example of one of these constitutional sources; these are practices or procedures which are considered correct in particular circumstances through the method's repeated usage. In other words, in terms of the constitution, 'conventions' are rules or actions taken regularly that have been practiced for many years and therefore are considered to be the appropriate behaviour. For example, with no written constitution, the rule that Royal Assent must be given for acts of parliament to become law is not a rule that has been written down, instead it is a custom which has been followed for centuries and exists as a convention in our constitution. Using your own knowledge as well as the extract, identify and explain two ways in which the British constitution regulates 'the conduct of government'. (10 marks)! The regulation of the conduct of the government is the manner in which the actions and procedures made by the executive are monitored, managed and regulated. Constitutions exist ...

...Nowadays, when people discuss the UK culture, there is a museum that would be mentioned -The British Museum, which was built in 1753, is the first national public museum in the world. Thus, it can be seen that the British Museum is one represent of the UK culture in people’s subconscious. However, there is an another opinion shown that the British Museum can represent most of countries’ culture well expect the British. Because this museum collected massively rare treasures from all over the world that even the native country cannot remember. Usually, when people talk about Egyptian culture or Chinese culture, they would mention the British Museum either. Meanwhile, at the beginning of the twenty-first century, this museum decided a new building project that made its attitude clearly – to set a world conservation and exhibitions center (British Museum, 2003). It is shown that the British Museum is not only a national museum, but also a universal museum that they want to be. Depending on above discussion, this essay will explain the purpose of the British Museum, one part of the British culture – multiculturalism, and evaluate how the British Museum can represent this characteristic of the British Culture. The British Museum The British Museum, which is located in the capital of UK – London, is opened to all “studious and curious persons” (British Museum, 2003). “The museum was founded in 1753 and celebrated its 250th birthday recently...

...greatest of his various ambitions’. Curzon had two terms as viceroy that were overall quite successful, however due to controversial and failed policies that he embarked upon in his second term , his reputation and legacy was severely damaged. He also contributed to the corrupt reputation of the British rule and as a result of Curzon’s failed policies, many campaigns were triggered and after 50 years, it would lead to the independence of India. Curzon’s desire to become viceroy and his well-travelled nature meant that he was able to gain a better insight into the culture and lives of the Indians. As a result of the Indian mutiny, queen victoria made it clear in the royal proclamation that the British viceroys were to serve the interests and care for her Indian subjects, as well as keeping out external threats and remaining in control of uprising within India. For this reasons it may be argued by some historians, that Curzon was a success because of his clarity when it came to problem solving and his willingness to break governmental boundaries in order to ensure control and protection of Indian citizens. Another characteristic of Curzon’s rule that made him popular was that he reasserted British control, that had evidently been lost during the mutiny and also the fact that he had the ambition to...
