Masks in the First Nations and Inuit Cultures First Nations material culture has become highly valued and has been recognized in the world of modern arts and culture. These views, however, often distract from current historical behavior towards the First peoples. The masks of the First Peoples are art pieces that are celebrated by the First peoples and Inuit cultures and are seen as powerful, incredible, and identity-making art.

The gap between the rich and the poor continues to widen despite implementing various economic strategies. Unequal distribution of wealth in America has restricted the country from achieving its full economic potential. In America, wealth is unequally distributed among people of different social classes, races, and gender. Due to wealth inequality, the American economy is controlled by a few powerful individuals. The need to maintain the status quo is a major cause of wealth disparity between the rich and the poor. Rich people use their already accumulated resources to undermine the poor. According to Karl Marx, the domination of the rich over the poor results in wealth inequality. The negative impacts of racism widen the gap between the rich and the poor in America as per the racism theory. In America, men have a much higher control over the economy as compared to women. Although policies have been implemented to increase women’s participation…

The technology of ammunition Prompt 1 According to Winner (1980), some artifacts are widely believed to require social structures in which they can operate; others are thought to work well in conjunction with specific systems of power and authority. Some technologies require political properties for them to run and perform their function. Winner states that the political properties occur in two ways, through invention, design, or the arrangement of individual elements becomes a community affair or political technology or items that require social order to operate. Whenever I read Langdon Winner’s book “Do Artifacts, Have Politics,” I develop the technology of ammunition in my mind.
