Cultural Survival

laissez-faire capitalism arguments were comparing business to biology using the theory of survival of the fittest to justify the social and economic differences between the poor and the rich. The laissez-faire capitalists benefitted from the government staying out of the economy and people such as Charles Francis Adams Jr. rejected policies such as congressional tariffs arguing that they were deterring the natural order of survival of the fittest. Laissez-faire capitalists used Social Darwinism…

They challenge this mindset and state that Aboriginal Australian youth do not necessarily conform to the aspirations set by society, where paid work is pivotal to productivity in the Australian work-centred society. Aboriginal cultural norms may be seen as abnormal or a barrier to labour market participation and hence an IAYP perceived as not having dreams and aspirations may be regarded as a failure, lazy or detached (Parkes et al., 2015). Numerous government policies and change…

It was December of 2004 in Aceh, Indonesia, and Richard Lewis was 60 year old author living in Bali, Indonesia. Richard Lewis longed to write a story to represent the lesson, be cooperative and show teamwork. As a volunteer after the tsunami took place, Richard Lewis was able to witness with his own eyes, the misery and destruction after a major disaster that affected many innocent lives. One historical fact is that Lewis knew about how many people were killed from this tragedy. About 228,000…

Often times, when we hear the term, “survival of the fittest,” we associate it with animals and how they have taken advantage of their evolutionary timeline. Even though the term might imply that the animal most “fit” would be more likely to survive, it is not in the sense of how physically fit they are. According to Charles Darwin, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” But in the world of science fiction, would…

Native ways of keeping culture alive must be revitalized, as colonization was detrimental but did not destroy everything. Indigenous relationships with the peopled universe emphasize environmental values and a way of being that holds strong to cultural values. Colonizers desperately tried to erase this deeply rooted culture, but it is hard to erase a link so completely tied to the land. Deeply embedded in each native person’s pedagogy is history, collective trauma, the reverberating effects of…

One of the most prominent scientists of the time was Charles Darwin, who introduced his theory of evolution and natural selection in 1859. The theory of evolution spread like wildfire throughout intellectual groups, and from that…

films, Survival of the Dead isn't actually all that bad. It's a far better film than its predecessor Diary of the Dead, at least in my opinion. Returning the standard third person perspective and adopting a more humorous approach, Survival isn't a seemingly endless slog. The films tone is probably the lightest of the Dead films, which at times does push over the border of funny, to simply camp pander. Though we also get a slew of like-able, though not often relate-able characters. Survival…

been a key part of survival. In the distant past, people had to hunt for food or else they would have to live on nothing but fruits and vegetables. If people were able to hunt back then and it has persistently been okay to hunt until now, hunting is evidently not so bad. There is no need to discontinue hunting. If it was tolerable then, it should be tolerable now. Nothing has altered. People think of hunting as animal abuse. They think that the animals had a chance at survival and living a…
