Domestication and Agriculture I wasn’t sure what to expect given this assignment especially since, most people take food for granted and look to a grocery store as a dispensary. I knew many foods had to have originated somewhere but where was uncertain as there are many plants that are native to one place and through time immigrated elsewhere. In addition, many foods have been domesticated as well as new strands and varieties created. My biggest concern with foods today isn’t so much from…

the Qur’an, it is said that all of the beliefs in Islam originated when a man named Muhammed was confronted by the angel Gabriel, who detailed a new belief system. After this event, Islam was founded, and began rapidly spreading throughout the Middle East and North Africa. JW Christianity…

seemed to be a nation ready for the influence of the Revolution to take hold with a firm grasp. It was accepted by many revolutionary thinkers that “Egypt [was] in a very critical condition” and that “Egyptians [had] looked to the West and then to the East and then to Arab nationalism without finding the answer to their problems” both socially and economically. Additionally, Ibrahim Yazidi, the Deputy Prime Minister for Revolutionary Affairs of Iran, predicted, correctly, that Egypt would be a…

We live in a society where times have changed and so have the traditions of many. In this 21st century we have more people open to accepting the beliefs of others, but we still see in some cases how loyalty can fog logical reasoning. Although foggy logical reasoning could be negative their can also be a positive effect in loyal peoples actions. Looking at religion as a whole, we see certain groups of people expressing their faith by committing acts of terrorism, and subordination. In other…

democracy in the Middle East was a viable option but that, because of many cultural reasons, was not the best option for that region. Now, having taken this course and learned about the different aspects of Middle East governance, I do not think that democracy is a viable option at all. It is not the matter of democracy cannot succeed in the Middle East or anything like that, it is the matter of democracy not being properly suited for societies like those in the Middle East. The agenda of the…

Isis, militant group, is causing one of the biggest problems in today’s world by taking people’s land and lives. Isis is a very powerful group…

“The implications of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan could pose the most serious threat to the peace since the Second World War.” In 1980, Jimmy Carter was able to recognize the political threat of the Soviet Union colonization and its potentially damaging consequences on global security. Amidst the political clash of the Cold War between America and the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union engaged in an unsuccessful invasion of Afghanistan in an effort to expand their communist empire. The…

As an individual is hard to help those people which suffer from poverty, violence, and those people that are unemployed. In the United States, we have much more freedom than other countries. Having our voice heard can be helpful in many ways. In order for our voice to be heard, we must have the support of others or at least know someone who is powerful. Even a president cannot make its own decisions. The president decisions are depending on the number of votes. Protesting can solve some of the…

A native culture concept that is unique to East Asian Cultures is Xiao (Filial Piety). Xiao is a Chinese ideology that originated from the teachings of Confucius and is still relevant today in East Asian Cultures (Laidlaw, Wang, Coelho & Power 2009).
