Do You Agree with this Popular Nineteenth-Century View? There are several misconceptions and misinterpretations on the civilization of sub-Saharan Africans. A lot of people cannot tell the difference between civilization and colonization. Some historians referred to Africans as backward, savage and uncivilized in the nineteenth century. The notion was false because, at this time, Egypt was well ahead in terms of civilization. The Europeans had a mentality that was instilled by the historians. Therefore, they thought of sub-Saharan Africa as uncivilized until they arrived. The paper examines some of the evidence that points out the false nature of the European scholars and disagrees that sub-Saharan Africa was uncivilized until the arrival of the Europeans. In the nineteenth century, it was known that Africans built monuments and kingdoms that could match up to the Monarchy of the Europeans. Scholars misrepresented this presentation of Africa because of their racial prejudice leading to distortion of the sub-Saharan African facts of history. They did this to uphold their belief that Africa was civilized upon their arrival. For instance, Meroe kingdom, which began around 1000…

AMERICAN CIVILIZATION Americans are a people who have originated from many nations. It is for this reason that America is often referred to as a melting pot or a mixed salad of many peoples, customs, languages, nationalities, religions, cultures etc. It is a land of both extremes and everything in between. But despite all the differences, or perhaps because of the differences, certain characteristics have developed with time that can now be called truly “American;” characteristics that, in themselves, distinguish Americans from other people. One of the main adjectives that can be used to describe Americans, in general, would be “individualistic.” What is individualism and how does it relate to the attainment of the American Dream? [unique_solution]How has the tendency of an individualistic people towards a selfish and egocentric mentality been balanced or averted by the American philanthropic spirit? Give examples if possible.

Russel Means presents the economic struggles experienced by the Indians Russel Means presents the economic struggles experienced by the Indians as a result of the actions taken by the United States (02:40-03:06). The federal government invaded their land. 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. The white settlers did not take into consideration the native neighbors’ level of civilization because their goal was acquiring the land by any means possible. Despite the efforts, the Indians made to survive the sufferings; the United States was committed to regulate the financial stability of Indians through the use of the anticapitalistic approach (05:00-07:00).  Russel Means advocates for an investigation concerning the land and realty relations that allow for the determination of the ways they broke the treaties. He adds that both the rich and poor populations underwent similar struggles, such as escalated sexual abuse on children. This is because the education system fails…

Aryan Invasion Question The Aryan invasion did not happen. What is actually there was that there was Out of India Theory. This is based on the fact that there was no significant migration in India in the past 12,500 years. Besides that, the other evidence is that there have been no changes in the genetic makeup of the Indians for the past 40,000 years. Since there was no change in genetics and that there is no evidence of mass immigration, then what I should think about is that the Aryan Invasion theory is a myth. The ancestors of modern-day India arrived there a long time ago, even before the introduction of the Aryan Invasion theory. Besides that, it should also be noted that the Dravidian culture emerged from here. The Aryan or the Vedic culture is known to have popped in after the decline of the Indus Valley Civilization. However, this culture did not apply to everyone, as some people were forced to embrace it, and this was evident in the Gangetic plains. The Vedic rituals were seen to be…

Lewis on judgement Brief Summary of the Content Lewis asserts that when people have a form of disagreement, the general expectation appeal for both parties for a standard behavior to apply. According to him, judging whether a person is right or wrong is the human law of nature. Moreover, he reckons that human law is peculiar to humans. However, the only distinguishing factor is that humans choose whether or not to obey the law, which applies exclusively to them.  Primarily, the law of nature emphasizes on decent behavior. Therefore an assumption exists that people are naturally conversant with their articulations. Lewis concurs with this postulation, arguing that whereas humans tend to have different levels of morality and civilization, it has never really been a total difference. Therefore, the author believes the laws of human nature apply distinctly for every society, although the standard expectations of right and wrong are identical. Every person has an innate knowledge of decent behavior. Whenever a person breaks the human laws of nature, they tend to deny they have done it profusely. Lewis attributes this…

Human Rights in Liberia versus the United Arab Emirates Human rights are rights that are essential to all human beings. Respect for human rights means all people are entitled to the rights and freedoms stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human rights (Alnaqbi, 2018). This factor implies that no one would be treated differently under their race, color, faith, political affiliation, sex, origin, or social status. Human rights influence relationships between people and administrations, especially the state. Human rights dictate the boundaries of state power over people. Human rights laws require the state to undertake measures that create an environment where all individuals enjoy their rights as humans. The extent of democracy varies between countries, depending on how their governments respect and foster the reign of human rights (Carey & Poe, 2019). This paper will compare human rights in Liberia and the United Arab Emirates. The research is motivated by the fact that the government determines human rights adherence or abuse in place and level of human rights growth overtime. The International Human Rights Organization focuses on fostering human rights…
