Part B Anthropology 6) Collapse In Collapse Jared Diamond addresses the environmental and economic problems that societies encounter during their development. Diamond makes it very clear that no society is safe from a collapse and that the problems that societies face should not be underestimated or the results could be catastrophic (Diamond 2011:2). The definition that Diamond gives for a collapse is “a drastic decrease in human population size and /or political/economic/social complexity…

If vegans try so hard to emulate the tastes of meats and animal products, the healthy way is to just consume the real thing. The popularity of becoming a vegan has risen in the past decade because of organizations falsely “exposing” the meat and the meat-packing industries. Those industries and the government have heavily regulated systems and laws in favor of treating the animals justly, and many studies have been done by the companies to make sure that they are doing so. For example, many…

The evolutional emergence of ethnographic film is believed to have begun with the foundation of documentary film. In 1922, filmmaker Robert Flaherty released the first documentary, Nanook of the North. This narrative documentary film essentially led to generic conventions that documentaries then developed over decades (Fisher 13 September), despite its portrayal of its subjects as spectacle. Soon, film had also found its way into the anthropological world. Anthropologist Margaret Mead and her…

the seal hunt is to Canada. The quota is 400,000 seals for each hunter. The seal hunt also has great cultural importance. It is an important source of food and income for coastal and Inuit communities. It’s also very cruel to strip the coastal communities of their source of income, food, and recreational activities. Inuit and coastal communities survive on seal meat just like urban communities survive on beef and chicken killed and processed in other parts of the…

One such example is that according to CNN, around 4% of Canada’s population is indigenous, but over 50% of the human trafficking victims in Canada is Indigenous. 1. INUIT Helen Roos, a Canadian consultant that wrote a 159-page report in November 2013, stated that “Inuit families sell their babies online, pimp out their daughters and turn a blind eye to human trafficking.” (Helen Roos, 2013) Violence against indigenous women has always common in Canada; the country's…

Indian and Northern Affairs recognize. This means that Métis, Inuit and non-Status First Nations are not “Indians” and as such, cannot take part in rights established by treaties, like living on reserves, receiving healthcare and getting an education, which the federal government provides. Every Aboriginal has right to be part of recognized Indigenous groups. Therefore, the “Indian” register system should be reformed to recognize Inuit and Metis as First…

Polynesians. For each group, Diamond argues that the environment played a key role in these people’s success or failure. In this paper, I will first briefly overview the environment’s role in the Polynesian case of Mangareva and the Viking case of Inuit as recounted in Diamond. I will then examine the sources in chapter 6 of Merry Wiesner’s text, Discovering the Global Past, to see whether those sources support or call into question Diamond’s environmental explanations for success or failure.…

challenges for the Aboriginals living in the province. The “no” vote would be the yes that many aboriginal people in the province wanted. At the time of the referendum, there were approximately 68,000 aboriginals, mainly consisting of Crees and the Inuit of Northern Quebec. The Crees stated that no annexation of them or their territory to an impendent Quebec should take place without their consent. They were not happy with the idea of Quebec separating from the rest of the country. The Crees…

10. Lancashire Heeler. Though it looks like a wolf with its pointy ears and eyes, the Lancashire Heeler is just a small dog breed. They were developed to be used as herder and drover of cattles. No matter what the weather is, the Lancashire Heeler stays dry because it has an undercoat that helps keep it dry. In general, the Lancashire Heeler is a great companion because they are intelligent, friendly and alert. However, they can be lazy and really loud at times due to their energy level. They…

he uses the setting and various symbols to demonstrate his belief in naturalism. Throughout the story, different symbols such as a moose, fire, and Koshkoosh demonstrate this principle. He had also used the season to further develop his belief. The Inuit tribe was placed in the Klondike region of the Canadian Yukon territory. The Klondike…
