We find out much about British rule in India from the outbreak of fighting of the mutiny before 1857 as it tells us about how the East India Company forced strict rules and intervened upon the Hindu society such as ignoring their religious beliefs, which was one of the key factors leading up to the Indian ‘mutiny’. We see that although some changes did benefit from the Indians, the general attitude was negative, since all Indians were heavily taxed as discriminated. The way Britain changed from a trader to a ruler reveals to us how greedy Britain were at the time and how powerful as they could gain control of such a big country like India. We also can see how the British abused their power as they treated the Indians unfairly, as, in an account written by Vishnubhat Godse, an Indian who was living in the city of Jhansi in 1857, described how they British took…
Cultural diversity is a reality and here to stay, it will not vanish overnight. People do things and think differently in diverse parts of the continents. In the same context, bringing up African children in foreign nations is not easy as the children face cultural shock (Nwokeafor, 2008). The parents or guardians must develop strategies that bring out mutual understanding between the children and the host culture. Surveys have indicated that people originating from diverse…

\In September of 1620 some 100 people ,mostly seeking religious freedom from the church of England set sail seeking the colony of Virginia. They traveled over on a ship known as the Mayflower where they were blown off their course. After a long voyage of 65 days, the refugees landed in cape- cod, present day Massachusetts. The settlers mostly lived on the Mayflower, while they built their new living quarters. A scouting party was later sent out and the new settlers landed in Plymouth Harbor that December. These settlers began to establish the first pure Christian colony of New England. The start of the Plymouth colony began. These settlers are known as Pilgrims. The Pilgrims would now face a dreadful first winter where nearly half of them died due to poor nutrition and housing that faltered in the harsh weather. Many of the pilgrims returned home and the pilgrims that stayed began establishing farms and a fur trade. To establish ground rules for governing they signed an agreement known as the Mayflower Compact. The Mayflower Compact was an agreement that bounded each member of the Separatist group in Plymouth to obey majority rule to promise to defend one another from potential eviction; set a precedent for democratic rule in Massachusetts ("The Pilgrims", 1996-3013).…

We as a society are surrounded by life, as we know it each day. Never stopping to look around and absorb what is going on around us. Our surroundings pass us by and we never take a glimpse at what those surroundings may hold. Our society presses forward without looking over their shoulder to see where we have been. Without acknowledging our present culture and studying our culture in the past, where are we going?…

Culture collision plays a role in the world everyday in different situations. Culture collision is when two different cultures collide. When a person from a different country and culture move they have to adjust to whatever the culture of the place they moved to is. For example, immigrants moving from foreign countries to the United States have to change their whole life style to fit in with the culture of the U.S. They would have to get used to the life style of being an American such as learning the language, abiding by rules and regulations that we have, adapting to the weather change depending on where they moved to in the U.S, and the different currency. Many of the immigrants that come to America are criticized by U.S citizens when they come to America.…
Culture is what defines a person; it is the way in which he or she behaves, what he or she believes, and what sets one apart from the rest of the world. It is the beauty, difference, and intelligence that at times require study to understand, but is an acceptable way of life for those born into that particular society. Because the United States believes itself to be the epitome of normalcy and standard living, we come across as critical, when judgment is passed upon civilizations that act in ways that are uncommon or improper in our culture. Americans that take the time to respectfully explore cultures different from their own are rewarded to find that distinction encourages awareness and awareness leads to appreciation.…
