IDENTITY IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM Identity describes who or what we are. It bases on psychological, biological, or physical elements of life. Cultural identity represents our everyday behaviours related to how we speak, dress, move, or act based on our cultural environments. The need to have an identity is common to every human being. It is, therefore, essential to evaluate how popular cultures shape one’s identity based on who they are, in particular. We answer the questions of how different elements of culture, such as race, gender, sexuality, social class, influence our identity. We also evaluate how behaviors such as dress codes, modes of expression, or some actions tell of who we are. In the past, cultural identification was based on defined gender roles. Cultural behaviors were categorized for the two genders, males and females. Aaron Devor, in his article “performing gender,” describes that being male or female dictated what expectations, based on their cultural standard. He goes on to explain that males were perceived to be masculine, aggressive, and egoistic, while females were seen to be passive, submissive,…
: COMMUNICATIONS AND MEDIA Introduction The banking sector has been in existence for quite an extended period. Even though it began in the 14th century in Italy, the notion had already been practised during the past periods of the Babylonian civilization, whereby farmers used to borrow grains from the wealthy merchants so that they could trade goods in other towns. Nonetheless, banking, as we all know currently, actually started in 1472. during this time is when the Monte dei Paschi di Siena, which is the oldest bank presently, was established.

How Hinduism and Buddhism differ from Jainism. In the lives of many people across the world, religion is essential. Spirituality in the Eastern part of the world started as a result of others—for instance, Jainism begun as a reform movement of Hinduism and later became a religion. Buddhism started as a result of opposition to Hinduism. The three faiths built their foundation by opposing each other, and thus there are some unique differences between the three. The discrepancies between the three religions range their principles of gods, goals, souls, and rituals in death. Hindus believe in the existence of god and goddess. Hindus recognize god and goddesses as the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the world. Jainism does not believe in god and goddesses. According to Jains, the world is an eternal phenomenon. Jains believe that the universe was never created and thus, it cannot be destroyed. The Hindus and Buddhists accept the philosophy of Karma. Jains do not accept Karma; instead, they describe it as substances that poison the soul. According to Jainism, for a soul to attain moksha,…
How are the Flaws and crookedness of capitalist society explored in the play? To what ends? The Threepenny Opera remains one of the outstanding works by Brecht. The “play with music” was first performed in 1928. The work finds its origin in the old works of John Gay “The Beggars Opera.” The intriguing masterclass piece relays some of the pertinent issues that impact society. Brecht also uses the piece to express his expertise in drama, whereby he enriches the abilities of the characters using the same aspect. The play highlights the issue of capitalism and how it impacts people. Brecht goes to extreme lengths to display how capitalism has affected the way of life of both the rich and the poor. He also focuses on how the moral concepts of society are impacted by capitalism. The idea of capitalism, in this case, is viewed from the perspective of the rich having the power to control the economic way of life as well as the legal limits of the people. The paper then focuses on how Brecht explores the flaws and…

It was then something that they could live to remember with both sides of being a good thing and a bad thing.

GENDER EQUALITY Bennett, S. E., & Bennett, L. L. (1992). From traditional to modern conceptions of gender equality in politics: Gradual change and lingering doubts. Western Political Quarterly, 45(1), 93-111. This book talks about the disappearance of gender difference turnout during the 1980s, which was an essential development in American politics. The book illustrates the various research studies which all showed an improved voter turnout for women by 1987, as compared to the gender parity that existed before the ratification of the 19th Amendment just before the 1920 elections. It also talks about the many changes in women’s involvement in society and politics during the past quarter-century. Squires, J. (2007).The new politics of gender equality.Macmillan International Higher Education.

It talks about the rising number of women…
Global justices The three books, Hobsbawm’s “Age of Extremes,” Castells “Networks of Outrage and Hope,” and Harari’s “21 Lessons for the 21st Century,” explain global justices and technology from different approaches. In the book “Age of Extremes,” Hobsbawm depicts the twentieth century as a revolution tempest, genocide, economic exploitation, technological error, total war, and political illusion. Although Hobsbawm and Harari explain technology and globalization, castells in his book “Networks of Outrage and Hope,” provides the best analysis on global justices and technology. Castells argues that through the internet, there has been a creation of space autonomy purposely for exchanging information as well as sharing feelings of gathered outrage and hope (Castells, 2015). Harari argues that, as technology tends to advance faster than people’s understanding of it, hacking emerges as a tactic of war. In the end, the world feels more polarized than ever before, which is contrary to what Castles records. On the other hand, Hobsbawm claims that in the short century, communication becomes a messianic faith, and it collapsed ignominiously as castles say that it is through the…
