14. Discuss the Kula Ring of the Trobriand Islands: what is it, how does it function, and what symbolic and practical significance does it have for Trobrianders? (10 Points) The Trobiand Island is populated by a society who are horticulturalists. The Kula Ring is practiced by Trobiand islanders where they exchange for ceremonial reasons. There are two important traditional items called the Soulava and the Mwali. The Soulava is a symbolic item, it is a necklace of red shell move in clockwise.

Every man in renowned exchange clockwise or counterclockwise. They marry from different islands to enhance political standing and power. If one is to accrue Mwali or Soulava, people from clockwise directions send them Kitomu. Kitomu is like money, it has real value. They have sea going canoes that can carry several tons of cargo.

EDWARD BEAR, known to his friends as Winnie-the-Pooh, or Pooh for short, was walking through the forest one day, humming proudly to himself. He had made up a little hum that very morning, as he was doing his Stoutness Exercises in front of the glass: Tra- la-la, tra-la-la, as he stretched up as high as he could go, and then Tra-la-la, tra-la--oh, help!--la, as he tried to reach his toes. After breakfast he had said it over and over to himself until he had learnt it off by heart, and now he was…

Pooh goes to see Christopher Robin and asks him if he has a balloon about him - a balloon, of course, being a thing that would enable a small bear to float up into a tree without fear of gorse bushes. Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before.

representatives, relating to the emergence of party politics (Henderson and Ailsa 2004). Canada failing to establish a stable two party system shows how divided Canadian opinions are (Blake 1972).
