Known as “nativistic movements,” these revolts tend to occur after the foreign power has been in control of the territory for several years rather than during the initial expansion phase, as local leaders begin to realize that their loss of autonomy is likely to be permanent . The local political structure and culture are threatened by acculturation, and specific incidents of mismanagement can rapidly lead to widespread efforts to banish the intruders…
In “The Case for Contamination” the author Kwame Appiah analyzes and points out the many ways in which the world is becoming globalized. He uses many extensive examples to show that the world is getting ‘contaminated’. By ‘contamination’ he means that the mixture of all the innovative values and traditions are damaging and eventually destroying what our ancestors have left us. In his analysis, he describes the gradual transformation of many cultures and different religions to support his points but in his personal opinion he is very open-minded and is not greatly influenced by his religion. His tone is informative and gives the reader the freedom to decide between authenticity or traditions and globalization or modernization. While Kwame Appiah’s analysis uses globalization as the main theme, he implicitly conveys the ideas of freedom of choice, power of leadership and the ultimate message to respect other religions.…

A retreat from the global aims to remove oneself from the intense, irrevocable impact of the global and its values, in the desire to retain roots, traditional structure, autonomy, local authority and the belief in a cohesive value system based on one’s own community. Our increasingly globalised world is becoming irreversibly interconnected such that events in one part of the world affect people and societies in other parts. Thus the instantaneous nature of communications transcends time and national borders and engenders a supra-territorial effect tending towards a homogenous society. The writers of the texts in this module have alluded to the powerful forces shaping the world of the late 20th century but have also highlighted…
L.M. Montgomery once said “We pay a price for everything we get or take in this world.” I think his idea of this is right. In order for you to accomplish what you want, there will be consequences and you need to get through it. I agree with this quote because it doesn't matter what you want to accomplish there will always be an outcome whether it’s good or bad. There are a lot of books that relate to this quote. One of them being, Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck and another called The Miracle Worker by William Gibson. Both Of Mice and Men and The Miracle Worker relate to this quote because they both experience and undergo situations and display actions that lead them to pay a price whether they caused it on themselves or not.…

The concept of ethnic Diasporas has become a central question in today’s globalizing world. In fact, with the rapid movement of human resources, the idea of identifying with a certain Diaspora has become increasingly valued for its ability to furnish one with an enduring identity. History has also shown us that Diasporas serve as a politically valuable scapegoat that function as an effective distraction from a government’s incompetence. One of the central polarities in the integration of ethnic Diasporas is the tendency for them to insulate themselves from the political and social developments of their host nations, set against the ideal of harmonious assimilation, therefore creating a culturally dynamic and creative society that combines…
The need to live among others that are like yourself is complemented by the desire to separate yourself from those alien to you, thus constructing barriers: abstract or concrete. Jacobs’ is completely correct, and his sentiments are echoed by Lord Curzon’s statement that border policy “has a more profound effect upon the peace or warfare of nations than any other factor, political or economic.” More specifically, Jacobs uses the examples of Transnistria and continued Indo-Pakistani tension to illustrate the utility of borders. The articles introduce the major themes of identity, language, religion, culture, and the legitimacy of…
Diaspora space is an area individual’s move to that is not where they are originally from or identify as their own. It is culture as a site of travel (Clifford). Space is more than just a place of living; it can be divided into many components such as place, race, bodies and knowledge production (Patel, Lecture 2).…
