...This essay analyzes Hauora issues of Maori people in New Zealand, providing the most fundamental and crucial elements and moments of its continuous effects from the colonial era until now. In this essay I mainly discuss about the issues of the Maori health before colonization, during colonization, and after colonization. I had used the different methods of research to analyze the data for the issues of Maori health. The research methods used are complete online research method text, course resources and reading and analyzing data from different books as literary review. A systematic review of the literature was undertaken to locate relevant information on Maori health. The review formed the body of work on which this essay was based. The literature search was limited to work published between 1900 and 2010 in six subject areas: Maori health in early 1900 till present day, Maori concepts and models, Maori health models, Maori and disability, Treaty of Waitangi and Maori health. The databases searched included all of the New Zealand university library catalogues, the City Library and Google Scholar. Sources that appeared to be relevant were entered into the Reference. In 1769 James Cook concluded that Maori were healthy race .Prior to settlement by Europeans, Maori had been protected from many illnesses because of New Zealand’s Isolation from the large population centers of the world. Now a day’s Maori are recognized as being over represented statistically in poor health issues...

...The area of the South Pacific is a diverse and dynamic environment, full of many cultures that are all unique and yet share a common theme. The Polynesian triangle was settled over two and a half thousand years ago by ocean voyagers, known as the Lapita, from the Indonesian area. After settling islands across the South Pacific, the Lapitas developed communities based on cooperation and reciprocity(define..here or..?). Centuries later Polynesians began moving away from the islands to industrialized nations for education or better jobs. They remained in touch with their relatives back home and some even built support networks for the migrants who came after them. Movement is a dominant trait of South Pacific culture and history.Well done Zach They move to seek a better future for their village, to try and assert themselves in the modern world, and sometimes they are forced to start movements of resistance against a world that views them as conquerable savages. This introductory paragraph flows, is nearly (!) accurate, and a pleasure to read. Thank you. The movement and migration of Polynesians to find higher education, higher pay, or even a higher standard of living is not done for the interests of the individual, but rather for the interests of the family, village, or even the nation as a whole. A prime example of this is seen through the Tongan culture, and their economic infrastructure that is based almost entirely on remittances. Remittances are the payments of cash, goods...

...Once Were Warriors Report by Sean Collier Once Were Warriors had a different reception internationally towards the didactic message of the violence in the film. Once Were Warriors directed by Lee Tamahori grossed over $6 million in New Zealand passing Jurassic Park on the New Zealand Box Office. New Zealanders praised the film with most reviews receiving a high rating. When opened internationally it grossed over $2 million with reviews also achieving a high rating. Although most international reviews fail to see the message from the violence compared to local reviews, they seem to view the violence as nauseating and unnecessary while New Zealand sees it as strong message to the public. Strong examples of this are Mark Tierney, Lizzie Francke and David Stratton from New Zealand, and Kenneth Turan from America who had a strong opinion on the movie’s brutal violence leading him to give it a bad review therefore missing the didactic message of the film. Once Were Warriors is a film based from the novel of the same name, about a Maori family living in Auckland after moving away from tribal elders over a disagreement over their marriage. The main settings are the Heke’s house and the local bar both housing drunken violence. Beth Heke (Rena Owen) is the victim of domestic abuse from her husband Jake Heke (Temurea Morrison) leading her to question the relationship and stand up to Jake while also trying to sort family relations. There are many sub-plots in the film which affect the...

...identity or national pride are normally born or when the country suffered a national disgrace (Ryan 18). This is particularly evident in New Zealand in regard to the country’s involvement in the Gallipoli campaign, whose impact in the country played a central role in developing New Zealand’s national identity in the context of its shift from being a colony to gaining independence and nationhood. The perceived demonstration of national maturity that New Zealand exhibited as part of the Allied Powers in the unsuccessful Gallipoli Campaign brought significant...

...meaning that it was possible for living things to venture onto the land (The University of the West Indies. Department of Biological and Chemical Sciences 2003-2012). The seashore would have been enormously important in the colonization of land. In this zone algae would have been exposed to fresh water running off the land (and would have colonized the freshwater habitat before making the move to terrestrial existence). They would also be exposed to an alternating wet and desiccating environment. Adaptations to survive drying out would have had strong survival value, and it is important to note that seaweeds are poikilohydric and able to withstand periods of desiccation (The University of the West Indies. Department of Biological and Chemical Sciences 2003-2012). The earliest evidence for the appearance of land plants, in the form of fossilized spores, comes from the Ordovician period (510 - 439 million years ago), a time when the global climate was mild and extensive shallow seas surrounded the low-lying continental masses. These spores were probably produced by submerged plants that raised their sporangia above the water - wind dispersal would offer a means of colonizing other bodies of water. However, DNA-derived dates suggest an even earlier colonization of the land, around 700 million years ago (The...

...patient in a respectful, inclusive way, empowers the patient in decision-making and builds a health care relationship where the patient and provider work together in a team to ensure maximum effectiveness of care”. Health care providers also respect patients with the “understanding that not all individuals in a group act the same way or have the same beliefs” (2008, p.19). Brascoupé and Waters (2009) expand on this definition stating that “cultural safety should include a strategic and intensely practical plan to change the way healthcare is delivered to Aboriginal people” (p.6). Cultural safety recognizes todays conditions in which Aboriginal people live and the implications of the history of colonization (Brascoupé & Waters, 2009). In Canada, as a result of the history of colonization and social and cultural assimilation, due largely in part through segregation in residential schools and government policies, Aboriginal people have experienced trauma and loss of cultural identity and unity (Brascoupé & Waters). Aboriginal people were removed of their power, and so this is true of the current situation health care access and treatment. Many aboriginal people have had experiences of judgment, feeling ignored, minimized, stereotyped and racialized (HCC, 2012). Aboriginal people who do not feel culturally safe in the presence of racism and discrimination often have negative consequences on access to health care, there is disconnect and mistrust in the system and providers. The ultimate...

...The Maori Kinship of New Zealand Jeramie Simpson Introduction to Cultural Anthrology 101 Justine Lemos December 26, 2011 The Maori Kinship of New Zealand In today’s world, tight-knit groups of people can be hard to come by. Many families and friends can be split up by quarrels, divorces, politics or governmental laws. However, the Maori of New Zealand are an exception to this statement. The Maori of New Zealand are a close-knit kinship that still have an impact on the New Zealand society and the country today. Over 700 years ago, people for Eastern Polynesia and Hawaii settled the land of New Zealand, many of the same groups that settled centuries ago, are there today, this includes the Maori of New Zealand. (Walter, Smith, & Jacomb, p 2006). It is thought and taught throughout the lands that the Maori came by canoe from European countries. This is a great argument among scholars, is this true or was this a fabrication from ancestors long ago? Scholars have researched and have yet to prove or disprove the group coming to their new land by canoes. (Hanson, 1989) After their settlement in their new lands, seven centuries ago, the Maori began as a small community that had several different villages and communities that were made up of extended family members consisting of a few dozen or more people. This group of people were known as a sub-tribe or “hapu..” ( Walter, Smith, &Jacomb, 2006) The Maorian kinship and its numbers would often vary; this was...

...industry rapidly developed with the help of the Catholic churches in The Middle Ages. In seventeenth century, new techniques and innovations were turned up to improve the wine to satisfy the globalization and colonization. Now the geographic scope of competition ranges from Old World, which are European countries, to the New World, which are North America, South America and South Africa. In this industry, buyers and suppliers are from all over the world and the substitute includes water, coffee and tea. As the reading material emphasized that competition should include five forces, which are profits, customers, suppliers, potential entrants and substitute products. The basis of competitive advantage is the quality of wine. And it has become a global industry. French firms dominated this industry in the past for several reasons: * In the time of Roman Empire, the viticulture and wine production were introduced to Provence and moved further to the inland. * After The Middle Ages, the wine trade in Bordeaux region became prosperous because of the large shipments of wine exported to Great Britain. * In the 1600s, French producer applied new techniques to plant vine and he mastered art of maturing and improving wine. Also, the replacement of glass wine bottles sealed with cork made wine taste much better. The reasons that French dominance now being threatened by new world producers: To the France itself: * The epidemic of phylloxera in the 1860s, which was cured in...

...information outburst as Nye (2013) often chooses to call. In fact, the authors did not mention the term ‘information revolution’ in the book; they simply state that Egyptians are on the street not because they are poor, as many scholars and political analysts suggest, but because power has resided in the hands of a few elites, and these elites have used political power to amass personal wealth at the expense of the bigger mass. But why the Egyptian revolution took place at this particular time, instead of a decade ago, for example? As far as I understand political theories, the answer lies behind globalization and information revolution which opened a new gate to information. That is, since billions of people around the globe are capable of reaching the internet (about 1.7 million according to Nye), many are able to read online news, or even watch them live as they are being broadcasted. Thus, it is possible to associate the Egyptian revolution or the Arab Spring to globalization and information revolution. Acemoglu et al, (2012) also indicate that Egypt’s ex-president, Hosni Mubarak gathered a huge amount of Egyptian wealth (about $70 billion), and this greediness might explain why a generation of the information revolution—one that does not tolerate unaccountability in public sectors—took its anger to the Tahrir Square. The central argument of the authors of the book is that nations become poor predominantly because their leaders are absolute, and thus are not willing...

...obstruction with common symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, chest tightness, and shortness of breath. Asthma is thought to be caused by a combination of environmental and genetic factors that affect people throughout the world and in the United States. Diagnoses for the individual having asthma doesn’t know they have asthma till the symptoms of wheezing and shortness of breath arises. Newborns that have asthma when they are born are because it’s a genetic cause but young children that develop asthma are usually because of the environmental issues such as pollution. Also, delivery via caesarean section is associated with an increased risk (estimated at 20–80%) of asthma—this increased risk is attributed to the lack of healthy bacterial colonization that the newborn would have acquired from passage through the birth canal. Many environmental factors have been associated with asthma’s development including allergens, air pollution, and other environmental chemicals. Low air quality from factors such as traffic pollution or high ozone levels have been associated with the development of asthma. Women that smoke while they are pregnant or after the delivery of their child have an associated risk of asthma like symptoms for their child. Asthma is the single most prevalent cause of child disability in the United States. Childhood asthma has skyrocketed in the inner cities disproportionately striking the poor who are at least 50...

...A Typology of Colonialism Nancy Shoemaker, October 2015 In the past several years, settler colonial theory has taken over my field, Native American studies. Comparative indigenous histories focused especially on British-descended “settler colonies”—Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and the United States—have proliferated. And settler colonial theory is now dogma. At my last two conference presentations, a fellow panelist was astonished that I didn’t deploy it. My research on native New England whaling history made me more globally comparative, but it also forced a reckoning that many places experienced colonialism without an influx of foreign settlers. As scholars parse settler colonialism into its multiple manifestations, colonialism itself remains undifferentiated. One of settler colonialism’s leading theorists, Lorenzo Veracini, juxtaposes the two completely. “Colonialism and settler colonialism are not merely different, they are in some ways antithetical formations,” he wrote in the 2011 founding issue of the journal Settler Colonial Studies. For Veracini, “colonialism” apparently refers to the late 19th-century European scrambles for Africa and Asia—in popular imagery, plantation colonies where members of a white ruling class dressed in white linen lounge on the edge of a cricket field, sipping cocktails served up by dark-skinned natives. Indeed, most of the literature on colonialism explores the history of the plantation colonies of that era. Instead of casting colonialism...

...time thus producing artwork that reflects their personal social and political concerns. Through these artworks they are able to influence their audiences. The ability to revolutionise ideas is the only change in the world that is constant; this is where a true artist takes action. Johann Joseph Eugene Von Guérard (1812-1901) was an Austrian born artist. His father took him to Italy in 1826 after he displayed extraordinary artistic talent, here he was able to pursue art as a lifestyle. Guérard travelled around the world from Dusseldorf to England, from England to Ballarat composing many landscape paintings and pencil sketches. In 1854, Guérard married Louise Arnz of Dusseldorf. For 16 years Eugene travelled throughout Australia and New Zealand before returning to Dusseldorf where Guérard died. When Eugene went to Dusseldorf he studied at the Dusseldorf Academy of Art one of the leading art schools in Europe. Johann Wilhelm Schirmer, a landscape artist, taught Guérard at the Academy. Schirmer encouraged his student’s to paint directly from nature; this is what sparked many of Eugene’s artworks. The Romantic movement arised during the 19th century, the emotions that overpowered order influences literature and art; including Guérard’s paintings. Eugene had a profound interest for the grandeur mystery of art and nature. Eugene followed the works of Alexander von Humboldt, a geographer and explorer who altered the way Eugene fabricated his art through Humboldt’s theories of nature...

...our societies “narratives of origin” (Moscovici, 1988). A fundamental representation of our nation’s origin and aspirations are influenced by the changing circumstances, which guides modern society’s response to new challenges. Change in civilizations is sparked from societal wrongs that cause a civil up-roar. Court cases provide the best historical evidence of how the past can redefine present culture. Since the civil war, African Americans role within the nation has changed drastically from a slave to the President of the United States. Monumental cases like Dred Scott v. Sanford, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education, along with mass protests across the United States; all influenced the civil rights of African Americans. Another case that shaped our civilization was from the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire. Due to negligence of the factory owners, Max Blanck and Isaac Harris, one hundred and forty-five people died in a factory fire because of inaccessibility to fire escapes. This devastation sparked outrage among civilians, and the government of the United States was forced to respond. In October, 1911, in the aftermath of the fire, New York State passed the Sullivan-Hoey Fire Prevention Law, requiring that factory owners install sprinkler systems….New York also set up the Factory Investigating Commission… and overhauled or enacted around three dozen laws dealing with factory...

...American Political Science Review Vol. 106, No. 2 May 2012 doi:10.1017/S0003055412000093 The Missionary Roots of Liberal Democracy ROBERT D. WOODBERRY National University of Singapore T his article demonstrates historically and statistically that conversionary Protestants (CPs) heavily influenced the rise and spread of stable democracy around the world. It argues that CPs were a crucial catalyst initiating the development and spread of religious liberty, mass education, mass printing, newspapers, voluntary organizations, and colonial reforms, thereby creating the conditions that made stable democracy more likely. Statistically, the historic prevalence of Protestant missionaries explains about half the variation in democracy in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania and removes the impact of most variables that dominate current statistical research about democracy. The association between Protestant missions and democracy is consistent in different continents and subsamples, and it is robust to more than 50 controls and to instrumental variable analyses. ocial scientists tend to ignore religion in the processes of post-Enlightenment modernization. In individual cases and events, the role of religious actors is clear—especially in the primary documents. Yet in broad histories and comparative analyses, religious groups are pushed to the periphery, only to pop out like a jack-in-the-box from time to time to surprise and scare people and then shrink...

...Define Colonialism (Western) Colonialism: A political-economic phenomenon whereby various European nations explored, conquered, settled, and exploited large areas of the world. The purposes of colonialism included economic exploitation of the colony's natural resources, creation of new markets for the colonizer, and extension of the colonizer's way of life beyond its national borders. In the years 1500 – 1900 Europe colonized all of North and South America and Australia, most of Africa, and much of Asia by sending settlers to populate the land or by taking control of governments. The first colonies were established in the Western Hemisphere by the Spanish and Portuguese in the 15th – 16th centuries. The Dutch colonized Indonesia in the 16th century, and Britain colonized North America and India in the 17th – 18th centuries. Later, British settlers colonized Australia and New Zealand. Colonization of Africa only began in earnest in the 1880s, but by 1900 virtually the entire continent was controlled by Europe. The colonial era ended gradually after World War II; the only territories still governed as colonies today are small islands. http://www.answers.com/topic/colonialism#ixzz1lYMQdYfY http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colonialism Colonialism is the establishment, maintenance, acquisition and expansion of colonies in one territory by people from another territory.
