    Cannibalism In Jamestown

    Actually, boss, historians have recently moved past the question of whether or not cannibalism actually occurred at Jamestown. Instead, the most recent scholarship deals with the question, are the sources credible? For instance, “Of the five main authors—Gates, Percy, Smith, Strachey, and the Virginia Assembly—only one was present during the winter of 1609–10, and he did not claim to witness cannibalism” (Herrmann,72). With that statistic at hand, it is hard to justify a sound answer and you should consider the bigger picture at hand in order to come up with a just conclusion about what happened in Jamestown. In order to gain power and control in into the New World, leaders needed to figure out a motive that would get settlers to honor…

    Before this time period, the native indians of the Americas were used for free labor.

    Analysis Of Cannibal Tours

    Cannibal Tours is a film directed by Dennis O’Rourke that follows a group of Western tourists on their vacation in Papua New Guinea. The film represents the contrasting differences between the tourists, who live a modern life, and the locals who appear to live a primitive life. As a result of their differences, Cannibal Tours allowed me to truly comprehend the “The West and the Rest” discourse that shapes cultural encounters in todays world. The tourists in the documentary are a group of Europeans and North Americans and it is evident in the way they dress and their cameras, that they are wealthy.…
