The third terraba community had experience arson and vandalism of their sacred stone.

Some are more develop in terms of land ownership and restoration. Although the first terraba community have gained their rights over the land, they don’t have the full control over their territory as an illegal settler is illegally occupying their land. In contrast

    The Native American Indians and the white settlers that eventually kicked the Indians off their lands quite obviously did not share the same idea of what it meant to own an area of land. The Native Americans viewed the land that they lived on as sacred, spiritual, even religious. The white settlers who forced them away from their homes, however, did not have this same concept of the land that they chose to live on; these people viewed land as a way to make money or as another pillar of their personal wealth.…

    The difference of the definitions of landownership between the United States and the Shoshone greatly shines in the reading as it portrays that for the Shoshones, “people do not have a dominating relationship with the land, but rather have responsibilities to protect the land areas from which they originate” (Fishel 622) while the government believes that the land is “a resource for human consumption and dominion” (Fishel 622). The difference in perspective about the land is one of the underlying factor regarding the dispute between the groups not only about the rights on whom the land belongs to, but also the way the land is being…

    The nature of colonizers to occupy land during the development of the new world was extensive. In more ways the one, Euro-American explorers bound themselves to claim previously habituated lands. As the thirst for seizing lands grew, greed became a conditioned factor that often neglected moral principles and religious beliefs. By comparing accounts of North America in two books, A Land so Strange and Jacksonland, we can see that Euro-American colonizers often claimed indigenous lands and disregarded morality and their religious beliefs for greed, this is important being indigenous people can no longer sovereign over their own lands. Both A Land So Strange and Jacksonland reflect the arbitrary course of action taken by Euro-Americans to strip…

    Terra nullius is a Latin expression deriving from Roman law meaning "nobody's land", which is used in international law to describe territory which has never been subject to the sovereignty of any state, or over which any prior sovereign has expressly or implicitly relinquished sovereignty. Sovereignty over territory which is terra nullius may be acquired through occupation, though in some cases doing so would violate an international law or treaty. (Wiki) Using the expression of Terra Nullius to condone this action Aboriginal people were then forcibly removed off their land. They were uprooted not only from their land but also from resources and control over their lives and movement. Violence and massacres were inflicted on Aboriginal communities. Another way this was done was through the introduction of disease by the Europeans was inflicted upon Indigenous peoples. The next contributing factor is Colonialism which is known as the removal of Aboriginal children from their families, or refers to the imposition of a political, economic and social system onto a sovereign people. Colonialism means to conquer, to dominate, to render submissive. It was the formation of Missions and Reserves. Along with the Denial of Citizenship Rights. There was no acknowledgment in the Australian Constitution. It was in this time that the creation of protection and welfare boards and state Ordinances took place. Colonialism revolved around Cultural, Political and Economic domination. Racism is the final factor associated with the stolen generation. Racism is Discrimination and Exclusion from all sectors of society, such as (education, training, employment,). Non-Aboriginal control of Aboriginal administration and policy. It is based on the notion of cultural and racial superiority. Racism assumes that certain groups are culturally, biologically, genetically, and…

    When the Europeans and African settlers arrived to North America, they were welcomed with an abundance of untouched resources readily available for the settlers personal use. The settlers would take advantage of this opportunity and would claim the resources immediately. Capital that would grab the interest of the settlers would be land, wood, indigenous species, and mineral resources. Settlers saw these resources as an opportunity to increase personal wealth and took advantage of what they had available to them. Settlers, with profit being the main motivation, gutted these lands of their resources without care of environmental and ecological changes.…

    In Founding a Nation 1783-1791, the authors claim to mostly agree on inhabitants seeking to acquire “actual settlements” rather than “vacant lands” (VOF, pg. 123). Vacant lands meant property over lands not taken for granted. Landlord companies monopolized the dispersal of lands from the West. Private organizations took custody of distributing land among new incoming colonizers by lobbying the government. Some colonists immigrate across to Ohio over the Appalachian Mountains due to poverty and the War of Independence.…

    ‘Whether we like it or not we have got it, and we are likely to go on having it.’ Thus Mr. Taplin in a book which has just been published entitled Advertising: a new approach. Mr. Taplin was formerly the editor of one of our distinguished and irreverent contemporaries: now he bears the striking title of Research Fellow in Advertising and Promotional Activity at the London School of Economics. Whether or not his approach is new, his poet is unique: and his attitude to his subject is, on the whole, approving. Not that he is unaware that the art of advertising has from time to time met with a certain amount of criticism. For example, in a recent number of The Listener Mr. Farneaux Jordan, reviewing recent guidebooks, made some rather gratuitous and perhaps insufficiently considered remarks about advertising to the effect that ‘a fool and his money are soon parted’ and so on. It is not our habit to censor our contributors’ opinions, but naturally those who practice the profession of advertising were offended when they got round to reading this. After all, like all people who take their own business seriously, advertisers are extremely sensitive men and women. If one has no met them in real life, one has surely seen them in films. Struggling with that just word or gem-like phrase that makes all the difference between tasty copy and mere copy-tasting. They are well aware that their work is often maligned. Mr. Taplin quotes a sentence from a book on economics by a Professor K.E Boulding: ‘There is a strong presumption that most competitive advertising is a social waste.’…
