    In the short film Marimba, director Amer Halasa beautifully depicts the call to give. This is a film that while directed toward Muslim audiences, is not one that only applies in this situation; rather the film conveys a message of an urge to care for humanity applicable to all. However, this film particularly calls to the Islamic viewer through the implication of the idea of zakat, or alms giving. In further study of the characters interactions and story, it becomes apparent the different film techniques used to convey a deep message.…

    I’m doing my book report on a book called Zoo City by Lauren Beukes. "Zoo City" is the nickname given to the Johannesburg suburb of Hillbrow in the novel, which is home to Zinzi December and many other animalled people, as well as refugees and the dispossessed. Being animalled is described in the novel as an automatic consequence – not just in South Africa, but for all humans worldwide – of bearing a significant amount of guilt. The distinction between moral and legal culpability is unclear, as is the threshold which triggers animalling; however, being responsible for the death of another human is a definite trigger.…

    There are many festive holidays in Ethiopia, but the most important one is Christmas. Since half of the Ethiopian population is Eastern Orthodox Christian, Christmas is celebrated on January 7th, The Feast of Epiphany, rather than on December 25th. In the Eastern Orthodox Churches the observance of Epiphany included the birth of Jesus, the arrival of the three Magi (Casper, Melchior, and as some Ethiopians believe, their king Balthazar), and Jesus’s childhood events up until his Baptism. This holiday is celebrated in Ethiopia in four ways: by wearing traditional Ethiopian clothing; by attending mass; by feasting; and by playing ganna.…

    Richard Lee’s piece, “Eating Christmas in the Kalahari,” describes his experience living with the !Kung Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert in south central Africa, but it does more than just reiterate a three year stint with a native African tribe. It also serves as documentation of another instance of how different societies of people distinguish themselves from one another with certain customs and differences in how they conduct themselves socially.…

    The Lost Boys of Sudan

    • 34 Pages

    The story of the Lost Boys of Sudan is one that provides the world with many examples of social interaction, some being violent and others being inspirational. Their journey from Sudan to Ethiopia and Kenya, then on to the United States for a better life for themselves and their families gives an insight into how certain cultures deal with and overcome adversity. Culture is the complex system of meaning and behavior that defines the way of life for a given group or society, in the case of the Lost Boys, the culture of the people of Sudan and the American society are analyzed. How the boys were able to continue on without their families to show them the way is almost a miracle. Over outstanding odds, the boys were able to prevail and withstand the hard times that occurred over their many years searching for peace.…

    West African Culture

    • 411 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Richard Franke argues that traditional West African cultures invented better adaptations to their environments than were developed later through outside, Western Influences. As is stated in the first page, "the historical record so far suggests strongly that Western policies have been major contributors to the current degraded state of the Sahel that renders its food production systems so vulnerable to shifts in the weather." (Franke, p. 257) The thought, is that this is because we do not have the historical background or scientific knowledge to do what was envisioned. The relationship between the herder and the farmer is very important and something that you have to be very careful with when trying to find a solution.…

    The cultural differences between the United States and Egypt are high in numbers. Before traveling to Egypt and meeting with potential business leaders, many things must be taken into consideration. There are some things that we as Americans do and say that is considered normal in the U.S. but would be considered abnormal or rude in Egypt. The first step that would have to be taken is to establish a good relationship with my potential Egyptian business leaders. This would have to be done because most Egyptians will only do business with people that they know and respect. According to (Reich) Egyptians like to plan their business meetings out well in advance. Here in the U.S. it’s not uncommon for a business meeting to be hastily scheduled ad also rescheduled at the last minute. In Egypt that would be considered rude and the meeting would more than likely be denied.…
