Is the United States Still Committing Genocide Against Native Americans? For a long time, myths have been passed from generation to generation about Native Americans, something that has resulted in many people in the United States being misinformed about indigenous Americans. It is worth noting that the dehumanization of American Indians happens to be a tradition that started from the founding of the United States. However, it is high time people start considering the current situation of the American Indian communities. This essay will utilize Conflict Theory to sociologically examine the possibility that the United States of America is presently committing a covert genocide against Native Americans. It is worth noting that the term ‘genocide’ is one of the more profoundly misunderstood terms as far as the English language is concerned. The term is derived from the Greek word genos that reflects upon race and tribe, and the Latin word cide that means killing. According to Lemkin’s description, genocide is more focused on any policy that is embraced with the sole purpose of bringing about the dissolution as well as…

Honesty and Deception             Honesty and deception are controversial in the architectural field. The definition of honesty differs among architects and the general public. For some individuals, honesty is defined depending on the reality of the material used while for others honesty is on the way the shape of a building is used to pass information. For other individuals honesty in architecture lies in the reason behind the shape or material used to build a house. Defining an architectural structure as being honest, the structure does not give a false presentation of what it is and should give a coherent representation of the current spirit of modernization. According to Korydon Smith, deception is evident in several works of art and can be presented in three ways; painting a building to present what it is not, the presentation of an untrue mode of a building, and the use of machine-made ornaments. Architecture as a work of art has a way to use deceptive procedures without necessarily breaking the customs of society. Deception by machine-made ornaments is the most common among the…

THE RISE OF FEMINISM IN THE UNITED STATES IN THE 1960s                                                     Introduction The rise of feminism in the United States is one of the remarkable changes that the country has experienced throughout its history. Through feminism movements, American women have fought hard to win their freedom that they enjoy today. Feminism movements started in the United States as early as the 17th century. The American society then significantly underrated women with their role strictly being housewives. Since then, the United States has experienced different waves of female liberation movements which have shaped the current female developed witnessed in the country[1]. Among the notable feminism movements in the country are the first and second waves which took place in the late stages of the 19th century to the early stages of the 20th century and the 1960s to 1970s respectively. The first feminism wave primarily focused on women’s legal rights and freedoms especially the right to participate in electoral processes. More feminism waves have since then taken place with the third and the fourth waves taking place in the 1990s…

“substantial increase in [a farmer’s] ability to earn income” “substantial increase in [a farmer’s] ability to earn income” (Danhof 5). This improvement allowed the relations between the rural and urban populations to strengthen, resulting in an increase in trade. The urban population (defined as having over 2,500 inhabitants) in the northern states increased rapidly after 1820.1 This increase  accompanied the decrease in rural populations, as farmers who “preferred trade, transportation, or ‘tinkering’” to the tasks of tending to crops and animals found great opportunities in the city (Danhof 7). Trade and transportation thus began to influence farming life significantly. Before 1820, the rural community accounted for eighty percent of consumption of farmers’ goods (Hurt 127). With the improvements in transportation, twenty-five percent of farmers’ products were sold for commercial gain, and by 1825, farming “became a business rather than a way of life” (128). This business required farmers to specialize their production and caused most farmers to give “less attention to the production of surplus commodities like wheat, tobacco, pork, or beef” (128). The increase in specialization encouraged some farmers…
