Orient

Frantz Fanon sought to understand colonization more through minds rather than within the physical world. Living in France, he saw how people (men especially) from Africa acted once they arrived in what he calls the “host country” as compared to how they would act in their homeland. In order to advance their status and to be accepted, black people felt they needed to adopt the cultural standards of the host country. In order to do this, African men would try to emulate what they saw in white…

region of the Middle East by Western Civilization thoughts and perceptions. The principal characteristic of Orientalism is a recurrent Eurocentric prejudice against the Arab–Islamic culture , which prejudice derives from Western images that reduce the Orient as “irrational, depraved (fallen), childlike, “different”; thus the European is rational, virtuous, mature, “normal.” This aspect of power and race from Foucault draws directly into Said’s argument, through the idea of the conflict not just…

My second patient to be concerned with is the elderly confused patient who happens to be incontinent and tries to get out of bed occasionally. This is a task that can be delegated to a LPN. It does not involve invasiveness, and a priority nursing intervention would be to make sure the patient is safe and has a regular toileting schedule. Making sure the patient’s bed alarm is on is key to knowing when the patient is out of bed, having call light in reach, and possibly moving patient to a…

imagined community of American population, united on ‘war on terror’. In the framework of Orientalism, I pointed out how his statements about his war policy could fit into the Orientalism theory framework, where superior ‘west’ is facing inferior ‘orient’. Eventually, I investigated the literature used by Bush to intensify and induce the public fear of terror in terms of a moral panic. Although I focused on only three speeches of G.W. Bush, providing more concrete proofs on the underlying facts…

A new hire cannot be effective without the necessary tools to succeed at the job. Clients should have a work space ready for the new hire with all the appropriate tools and equipment available.

New hires are often hesitant to ask questions or to get clarification, especially in temporary staffing situations. The new hire should have…

Colonialism took many different forms throughout history; political, economic, social and cultural. Literature itself can serve colonial objectives through the use of a colonial language that describes the Non-western countries as inferior, uneducated, uncultured and uncivilized. This type of colonial discourse mainly serve the colonial powers who give false image about the other in order to emphasize their superiority and to defend the real intentions behind colonizing other countries such as…

anthropological or epistemological studies of the “Orient,” but with a caricatured portrayal of the people who live in these areas to demean their humanity using the powers of Western hegemony. Said states on page 6 of Orientalism “I myself believe that Orientalism is nothing more than a structure of lies or of myths… more particularly valuable as a sign of European-Atlantic power over the Orient than it is as a veridic discourse about the Orient.” The structure of Orientalist lies feeds into a…
