Rule of thirds

the world’s economic, education, and technology, there should not be countries that are suffered from poverty; however, there are some counties that are even below the line of poverty. Indeed, Senegal is of the African countries that is known as a third world country, which means that most Senegalese are facing challenging difficulties when it comes to life. Poverty in the world are caused by many factors. Some of the factors are natural, and the other half are manmade. As an African…

A Reaction to Narayan’s Dislocating Cultures. Uma Narayan’s article raises multiple questions about how third world issues are perceived by western bodies. In her article, Dislocating Cultures: Identities, Traditions, and Third World Feminism, she looks at the “‘effects’ that national contexts have on the construction of feminist issues and the ways in which understandings of issues are then affected by border crossings across national boundaries” and how culture is invoked in explaining the…

immigration poses a true alternative to the problems they are attempting to escape, or whether it generates new problems of its own. Unfortunately, literature seems to suggest that, while immigration into the first world removes the individuals from certain third world problems such as instability and health crises, it imposes different problems like segregation and discrimination. Debatably, these problems are more manageable and favorable to some immigrants. Globalization does not influence…

Citizen of a Third World Country In the world today, people living in developed countries will see commercials or hear ads about people in third world countries living in poverty. They begin to think about how sad it is, then within the next ten minutes they forget all about it. People only know a small portion of what it is like to live in a third world country. Unless one has traveled abroad, they do not know about any other way of living other than their daily routines. Those in third world…

the third world. Mohanty’s purpose is not to question the knowledge and value of Western feminist writings on women in the third world, but to uncover ethnocentric universalism (presuppositions and implicit principles). She claims that women in the third world are portrayed as sharing a homogeneous oppression. Instead, she asks Western feminists to take into account the complex interaction between social, economic, class, religion, culture, etc. frameworks before describing women in the third…

Success- the accomplishment of an aim or purpose. What a funny word to describe America. Sure every country has its ups and downs but look at America lately. Sure we are successful at helping other countries and providing aid to those third world countries but look at what is happening in America, drugs have plagued this nation, poverty has flooded the streets, and unemployment is destroying families. But no need to worry, we can go get welfare and have the government pay for our drugs, alcohol,…

When one was about three years into high school, a thought lingered around; who am I? It started when Rebecca (Randy) came into one’s life. They were born biologically a female yet identifies as gender fluid, thus having two names and having to use gender-neutral pronouns (they/them). Gender fluid is “referring to a gender identity that changes with time and/or situation as opposed to a fixed sex-role or gender queer expression.” (Winter, Claire R. 2010) In other words, being a gender fluid…

Sonder Sonder (n) - the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own. Human beings are all inherently selfish. As human beings we spend so much time caught up in our own heads, we forget the fact that we are not the only ones whom the stage is set for. We forget that there are more than seven billion other individuals on this planet. Seven billion other individuals, who are just as careless, foolish, bitter, animated as we, ourselves can be. Above…

Millions of people from the third world countries are moving around the world to seek job opportunities in order to survive or to take care their families. Globalization has radically make changes to the scale of migration, people are now more aware of opportunities elsewhere and it has become easier for them to travel. Mostly migrations happening from the third world countries, since the economy is not good enough to survive. More than 80 percent of the world’s population lives in the…

The Time I Got Stitches The worst thing that’s happened to me in my life was the time I had to get stitches. It was the summer of 2012. The weather was warm, but the wind was blazing. My cousin and I, who happened to live next door to each other in our old apartments were playing volleyball in the middle of the street, while our family were in the house hanging out. The ball we used was not hard so it could move with the wind. There were another set of apartments which everyone called the…
