Gender Analysis of the County Government Act Introduction The Kenyan independence constitution promoted centralization limited the participation of citizens in the decision making the process and the process of allocating resources. The successive independence regimes failed to address the inequalities and high poverty levels in the country. The regimes failed to set up effective redistribution structures that would help to redistribute surpluses to low potential regions. This deficiency resulted in demands for decentralization of government structures for equitable resource allocation and service delivery. Moreover, the country’s enshrined cultural heritage also promotes a patriarchy state and elder reverence. Such heritage is detrimental to various population groups, including minority groups, women, and children. This scenario resulted in the County Government Act to decentralize funds through the local government system (SID, 2012). In Kenya, ethnicity is deep-rooted, making it difficult to realize equity during service delivery. The Act was considered to minimize unjust inequalities. The Act also seeks to promote sustainable development in the country by equal participation of all citizens regardless of their gender. The paper provides a gender analysis of the…

The Role of ethnicity in the creation/development of the American identity in contemporary America. The American society, in all identity facets, bears a very complex image. Indeed, more than 2 centuries after independence, it is grossly difficult to identify the aggregate American identity. Many residents living in the expansive nation have a hard time identifying with the overall societal values. Even when one is a permanent and duly registered citizen, they find themselves subscribing more to their origin ethnic sources rather than those of their home countries. Some do it by personal preference, others do it due to identity stagnation while others are forced to fall from American ideals by situational factors such as ethnic profiling, the attendant discrimination and even systematic ethnic based hostilities. Whereas the diverse populations in America should translate into productive ethnic diversity, the end results oscillate more towards differences rather than unity. Even the most fair of analyzers agree that contemporary America has a long way to go in creating an identifiable identity. Richard Rodriguez in his text The Chinese in All of Us, presents…

Cultural criminology Cultural criminology implies that deviance, transgression, and crime are repeatedly sub-cultural naturally. As a result, cultural criminologists usually concentrate on the concurrent forces of social exclusion and cultural inclusion whenever explaining deviant, transgressive, or criminal behavior (Frederick, 2013; p139). Indeed, this remains a particularly significant method for exploring modern gay transgression and deviance. These are deeds that are maybe closely associated with or sometimes directly result from the entire period isolation, oppression, and marginalization of homosexuals, mainly by Western hetero-normative communities. Also, such approach can assist in comprehending behaviors that stem from oppression and marginalization from sources such as the gay society itself. This paper aims to discuss how the changing theories of homosexuality contribute to people’s understanding of their involvement in deviance.
