...theories have been put forward concerning these religions. The Westerners who took an interest in these religions have been divided into two major categories, namely, Early and Later Western writers. Some scholars are advocating a third category – contemporary Western writers. RATIONALE FOR THE INTEREST 1. According to E.E. Evans-Pritchard, (Theories of Primitive Religions, 1965), Western scholars were interested in Religions of Africa because Africans were considered to be “primitive” and “primitive” people had primitive religions which are the species of the genus religions. They are the mothers of all world religions. 2. According to J. G. Platvoet, (ed, et al) (The study of Religions in Africa, Past, Present and Prospects, 1996), the interest was generated by the need to spread Christianity. 3. The same scholar is of the opinion that these writers wanted to provide information to colonial governments about the colonised so that they could govern them effectively. 4. Some were just interested in writing about Africans and their religions. EXAMPLES OF EARLY WESTERN WRITERS 1. Edward B. Tylor - Wrote the book, Primitive Culture, 1973, in which he stressed the importance of the soul and propounded the theory of animism. This theory attributed spirit or soul to all creatures both animate and inanimate. This theory was then applied to religions of Africa. 2. James Frazer, The Golden Bough, 1922. 3. Herbert Spencer, Principles of Sociology, 1885. 4. Emile Durkheim 5. Max Muller...

...The film is showing four beautiful babies: Ponijao from Namibia, Mari from Tokyo, Bayar from Mongolia and Hattie from San Francisco. All four babies are surrounded by different macrosystems but display similar developmental patterns regardless of their upbringing. All these children still must go through the same developmental milestones. In the first year of life babies undergo dramatic changes, many of these are observed in this film. All four babies are living in their own microsystems, each very different from one another. Ponijao has a big family consisting of several siblings, Bayar lives with his parents and a brother, and Mari and Hattie are the only children for their parents, which is a typical situation in developed countries. We see the babies going through the Sensorimotor Stages as soon as they were born, they all were breastfed, which is a sign that they had sucking reflexes that are connected with rooting reflex and breastfeeding. There was an episode where Babinski reflex shown: Mari was sitting in her highchair and a family cat playing with baby’s feet. I noticed that Mari had all possible toys to help her to develop mentally and physically, but she also can be seen playing with CDs and cellphones. On the other hand Ponijao was happy to play with sticks, stones beads and a plastic bottle. I saw Bayar unrolling toilet paper and feeling very happy when he finally got to its base, which he immediately put in his mouth (Oral Stage of Sigmund Freud’s Theory). Watching...

...Introduction to philosophy Borislav Tsankovski - 09046631 Totem and Taboo, Sigmund Freud (1912) The teachings of Sigmund Freud have had such a tremendous impact on contemporary culture, but the opinions regarding his doctrine are dualistic and vary from total reject to faithful followers. Between those two poles are some people who try to keep a critical distance and try to identify what is really important and significant in his ideas. Freud’s ideas have a profound effect on modern men’s self-esteem and identity, because the modern man gets angry and bitter when someone touches their identity. On the other hand Freud show’s us deep spiritual movements or “currents” inside ourselves. Freud created a doctrine that meets the most typical modern desire – the desire to build the new image of man. I believe that Totem and Taboo is exactly one of those works which can teach the reader a lot of things about his inner and outer self. And that from that entire information one can derive a blueprint on how to read and recognize the basic truths which were there when human kind made its first steps and will stay with us till the end. That one should really think upon in order to fill in the bits of lost puzzle in time, space and matter, so that one day we actually know who we are and why we are. Throughout his whole scientific work Freud supported the understanding that man evolved from his animal state, because of the cultural and social conditions that came along with...

Capital is money or a financial asset invested for the purpose of making more money (whealth in the form of profit, rent, interest, royalties, capital may also be seen as a form of capital, investment in one’s personal abilities, such as through education, to improve their function and therefore increase their income potential in a market economy. Poverty is the inability of getting choices and opportunities of human dignity. It means lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society.

CH. 4 We now know: - Capitalism was developing evenly throughout Africa, Europe and Asia before 1492. - This process was called by Blaut: “Proto-capitalism.” So capitalism does not appear out of nowhere. It shifted its center from Indian Ocean to Europe = continuous process. Industrial revolution started later: symbolically situated in 1688 (overthrow of King James II in England by Parliamentary group) So... How did Capitalism develop more in Europe after 1492? - This is the main question of the chapter. Why did Europe discover America? Myth of adventuresome superiority in Europe. - Based on internal characteristics of Europe and giving no credit to non-Europeans. But they were trading in maritime centers just like everyone else. Technology superiority of Europe? Others had traveled long distances. Inventions were criss-crossing and Europeans did not have technological superiority in navigation. So why...???

Sailing conditions were better: winds were favorable. West-African traders...

...The Issues of National Importance Based on Current Events 1. Nature And Animal Conservation Preserving species and their habitats is important for ecosystems to self-sustain themselves. Yet, the pressures to destroy habitat for logging, illegal hunting, and other challenges are making conservation a struggle. 2. Tobacco It is well know that tobacco smoking kills millions. But it also exacerbates poverty, contributes to world hunger by diverting prime land away from food production, damages the environment and reduces economic productivity. Second hand smoking also affects other people’s lives. Despite many attempts to prevent it, a global tobacco control treaty became international law in 2005. However, challenges still remain as tobacco companies try to hit back, for example, by targeting developing nations, increasing advertising at children and women, attempting to undermine global treaties and influence trade talks, etc. 3.

...Java provides a data structure, the array, which stores a fixed-size sequential collection of elements of the same type. An array is used to store a collection of data, but it is often more useful to think of an array as a collection of variables of the same type. Instead of declaring individual variables, such as number0, number1, ..., and number99, you declare one array variable such as numbers and use numbers[0], numbers[1], and ..., numbers[99] to represent individual variables. This tutorial introduces how to declare array variables, create arrays, and process arrays using indexed variables. Declaring Array Variables: To use an array in a program, you must declare a variable to reference the array, and you must specify the type of array the variable can reference. Here is the syntax for declaring an array variable: ------------------------------------------------- dataType[] arrayRefVar; // preferred way. ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- or ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- dataType arrayRefVar[]; // works but not preferred way. Note: The style dataType[] arrayRefVar is preferred. The style dataType arrayRefVar[] comes from the C/C++ language and was adopted in Java to accommodate C/C++ programmers. Example: The following code snippets are...

It can store different types of information such as numbers, text, different varieties of graphics and sounds. In our example we are using text. Text is being represented by assigning a unique numeric value for each variable name. For L10, I found that this website not only introduces you to the basic data types, but also helps you in learning how to read the declarations. Three rules to understand these types of...

...Initialising Variables Introduction to Variables A variable is a storage location that holds a value. You can think of a variable as a box in the computer’s memory holding temporary information. You must give each variable in a program an unambiguous name that uniquely identifies it in the context in which it is used. You use a variable’s name to refer to the value it holds. For example, if you want to store the value of the cost of an item in a store, you might create a variable simply called cost and store the item’s cost in this variable. Later on, if you refer to the cost variable, the value retrieved will be the item’s cost that you stored there earlier. Working with Primitive Data Types C# has a number of built-in types called primitive data types. The following table lists the most commonly used primitive data types in C# and the range of values that you can store in each. |Type |Description |Size (in bits) |Range | |int |Whole numbers |32 |-2147483648 to 2147483647 | |long |Whole numbers (larger range than int |64 |-9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807 | | |data type) | | | |float |Floating point numbers |32 ...

...talents. Our relative success in life depends on how much we believe in ourselves, trust our own private genius, care for it and let it grow freely. What education does is that it provides us with the opportunity to unravel and realize our inborn talents, while providing us with the skills of thinking and solving problems on our own. Both education and success are relative concepts in the sense that there is a wide difference of opinion regarding what is real education and what is real success. My topic today Is education my key to success that’s why I consider it to be important to me Why is education the key to my success ? Man is what his thoughts make him. Education provides direction to these thoughts. Success is more than just accumulation of material wealth. I believe that success is not a destination but a never ending journey in self exploration. It is unlocking your true potential to make your life itself a work of art. Success has more than one dimensions to it. Acquiring material wealth is not the only one. To what degree have you conquered your self and achieved liberation from wanting and needing things is another indicator of success. Education plays a large role in determining our potential for achieving this success. Just being able to read and write, provides you access to the vast store of human knowledge in the form of books, which is the combined wisdom of ages. A man benefits from the path shown by the great masters of any field by accessing this knowledge...

...In treating on the subject of the profits of capital, it is necessary to consider the princples which regulate the rise and fall of rent; as rent and profits, it will be seen, have a very intimate connexion with each other. The principles which regulate rent are briefly stated in the following pages, and differ in a very slight degree from those which have been so fully and so ably developed by Mr Malthus in his late excellent publication, to which I am very much indebted. The consideration of those principles, together with those which regulate the profit of stock, have convinced me of the policy of leaving the importation of corn unrestricted by law. From the general principle set forth in al Mr Malthus's publications, I am persuaded that he holds the same opinion as far as profit and wealth are concerned with the question; -- but, viewing, as he does, the danger as formidable of depending on foreign supply for a large portion of our food, he considers it wise, on the whole, to restrict importation. Not participating with him in those fears, and perhaps estimating the advantages of a cheap price of corn at a higher value, I have come to a different conclusion. Some of the objections urged in his last publication, -- "Grounds of an Opinion," &c. I have endeavoured to answer; they appear to me unconnected with the political danger he apprehends, and to be inconsistent with the general doctrines of the advantages of a free trade, which he has...

...A Limit on Maximum Wealth Must Be Implemented In Canada. Now is the time for the Canadian Robin Hood to step up, and take away from the rich to give to the poor before it’s too late. The inequalities between the rich and poor citizens are so obscene already, and yet still rising quickly. As Karl Marx puts it, “accumulation of wealth at one pole is, therefore, at the same time, accumulation of misery, the torment of labour, slavery … at the opposite pole.” According to Forbes magazine, in 2007, twenty three Canadians were billionaires. This means, their wealth is considered to be over one billion dollars each. Compare this to the fact, that in the same year, CBC News estimated Canada’s homeless population to be somewhere between 200,000 and 300,000 people. These are people who cannot afford the bare minimum. A meager amount, of just a couple hundred dollars a month in rent would be sufficient enough to provide them with a bed to sleep on at night. That being said, an important question arises. How much wealth would one need, in order to be happy? One million? Hundred million? One billion? It is believed by Daniel Gilbert, professor of psychology at Harvard University, that once basic needs such as food and shelter are met, the rest are little increments which have little effect on an individual’s level of happiness. You might be surprised to hear, but research determined that to “buy happiness” one would need just 40,000 dollars per year. A bundle of happiness could be...
