The “Indian Problem” As the power and population of the Americans grew during the 19th century, the United States adopted a gradual rejection of the primary principle of treaty-making that included tribes as self-governing countries. The US brought in policies that were seen to undermine the sovereignty of a tribe. The policies contributed to broken treaties,  removal, and relocation, massive land loss, cultural decimation as well as population decline in Indian nations (00:38- 00:50). White Americans, especially those who lived in the western frontier in most cases, were afraid and usually resented the Native Americans that they came across. This is because the American Indians appeared unfamiliar and also alien individuals who occupied the land that the white settlers believed they should have occupied. The colonization aspect is presented in that the white settlers targeted the valuable land, which grew to become more coveted. The white settlers invaded the region as they yearned to make massive profits through the growing of cotton. They did not take into consideration the native neighbors level of civilization because their goal was acquiring the…

Satire in the “The Adventures of Huckleberry” Satire is defined as a technique used by writers in literature to criticize or expose foolishness. It uses elements such as irony, humor, exaggeration, sarcasm as well as ridicule. Satire is used for the purpose of entertainment and a lot to bring a certain matter to attention that requires change. It is used to advocate against certain evil things in society, such as corruption, abuses, and vices, as well as giving leads to solutions. Mark Twain is one of the most popular satirists in the world, as this is evident in his book The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. There are numerous illustrations of satire in his novel. In this novel, he uses satire as a mechanism to express his opinion, ideas, and disappointments on nature, racism, slavery society, and many other challenges facing America during that time (Edley, 2017). Satire is, therefore, an appropriate technique to figuratively address society as a way of bringing political, social, and economic change in society. In Mark Twain`s novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, there are many…

Gandhi criticized on Western Civilization Western colonialism brought about violence. Gandhi criticized a lot that the critical essence of Western Civilization was based on the pursuit of a better mundane life. In a society where people’s main target is to achieve the upper level of physical well-being, they would measure any of their progress in terms of money even if they might not be aware of this action (but other times they would be conscious of it). Although measuring the progress in terms of money was somehow objective and quantitative, not everything in this world was able to be estimated, measured, or evaluated by cash. In other words, money could not be the only or even the most critical method of measuring, and better worldly life did not represent everything. Some of the more important things, in Gandhi’s opinions, were morality and religion. If we go deeper and find out how British people made progress in their pursuit of wealth, we could find out that their elevation in physical well-being was based on the fact that laborers were “enslaved.” They…

Oroonoko Cultural Alterity             Alterity refers to a state of diversity between different groups. Thus, cultural alterity is a cross-cultural phenomenon of otherness between a set of individuals. Aphra Bern’s book, Oroonoko, is set within a place of aesthetic dynamics. As of 1688, when the author published the historical novel, Suriname was a British colony that thrived because of the availability of cheap labour from the slaves. Therefore, Bern uses this setting to elaborate on the state of Western civilization and how it collided with the African perspectives of civility. The British used imperialism to advance their economic and political interests at the expense of people from other cultures. For instance, the Africans were primarily captured or brought as slaves by the white men, and they had to abandon their cultural values and fit into the standards of the western nations. This paper argues that the cultural alterity as expounded in Oroonoko is centred around the effects of slavery and colonialism on the non-western civilizations. The female voice adopted by the author to narrate the events that occurred in Surinam…

Prisoner’s Dilemma The 21st century is plagued by numerous events that are considered injustices and forms of intimidation to the masses. Most of the world’s middle eastern countries and Asia are among the states responsible for the vice of freedom of speech violations. Most journalists jailed in these countries are as a result of getting intimidated into refraining from unveiling certain sensitive information about political figures or government dealings. It has gotten reported that some journalists that have gotten murdered over such controversial terms while incarcerated pending trial. Such a case is that of Jamal Khashoggi, who allegedly got tortured and killed in the Saudi Arabia consulate in Turkey, Istanbul. The heinous act got carried out by a 15-member team sourced from Saudi Arabia. Criminal behavior is nurtured by the notion that said acts are inconsequential and have no adverse effects. Overreliance on illicit behavior and illegal activities to support daily needs in life over time become a part of an individual or associated group. The subtle difference between law-abiding citizens and criminals and gang members does not lie with…

Over the years, human rights have been a Western Concept, but it is a universal concept that protects every human around the globe. Even with the assurance and the protection of human rights legally, there have been non-western thinkers who have historicized and complicated human rights in various ways. They think that human rights are not just a matter of being human to enjoy these rights, but consider other aspects that they use to tell the history of human rights and how complicated it is in their view. These are some of the ways that non-western thinkers have used to perceive the history of human rights. Demonstrations and formation of movements. Over-time, in history, people have been treated differently due to the difference in color and ethnicity from people of western origin. Mistreatment…
