In today 's global fashion industry, China stands as a "colossus in the field," (Cline, 2013, 164). With its large labor force and high degree of specialization, Chinese factories have sustained the fast fashion industry. However, this bulwark of fast fashion has begun to crack as an "army of consumers" in China have demanded higher pay in order to afford the products they export to other countries, leading to higher apparel prices (Hilsenrath et. al, 2011). In Over-Dressed, Elizabeth Cline…

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…

In the late 19th century when the United States began industrializing, the increasing wealth inequality became a contentious issue. Adherents to Social Darwinist theory, such as William Graham Sumner, advocated against government intervention to address inequality, to naturally allow the fittest to survive and, in turn, spur progress. Other groups, such as the socialists and populists, called for government regulation to address this inequality and other important social issues. Yet Andrew…

The emphasis on the "grave" in the poem directs the reader's attention to the acts of violence and brutality. All of these images reaffirm a poetic insight communicated through directed ambiguity created by the poet; an ambiguity that must then be resolved by the individual reader’s interpretive visualization of the poem. The atmosphere of malevolence is further expounded through the introduction of an unknown Nazi guard from "Deutschland," who romanticizes the desire to meet “Margarete.” She is…

From being the General of the Continental Army until on the brink of death, George Washington, the first president of the U.S., cared about America and wanted to keep it safe against upcoming and unavoidable dilemmas the country would face. To accomplish this, he wrote his Farewell Address, with the help of the Secretary of State, Thomas Jefferson, and the Secretary of the Treasury, Alexander Hamilton.

The term Survivor syndrome has two different meanings, one being the psychological aftermath of a traumatic incident, which leads to a characteristic group of symptoms, including recurrent images of death, depression, persistent anxiety, and emotional numbness. The other definition is the phenomenon which occurs when a company is undergoing a retrenchment exercise in an organization or workplace, which could potentially incorporate the dismissing part of workforce, resulting in uneasy feelings…

For most, gender is just a simple identifier that tells how someone is. When a child is born with anatomical features fitting either male or female, that is the child’s gender, no question about it. But it doesn't have to be that way. In the essay, “William Wants a Doll. Can He Have One? Feminists, Child Advisors, and Gender-Neutral Child Rearing” by Karen Martin (2005), she discusses the effects of second-wave feminism’s influence on gender neutral child rearing and how it is still seen as…

In his argument, Jethro Bunker, despicably expresses his feelings towards races, by criticizing them and placing the “whites” as a supreme race over all by claiming that all other races are “deficient” when compared to “the vastly superior white race”. As Canadian author, Pierre Berton, once said, “Racism is a refuge for the ignorant. It seeks to divide and to destroy. It is the enemy of freedom, and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.” Those who shelter themselves behind the hateful…

In Marcia Gaudet’s Carville: Remembering Leprosy in America, the idea is presented that “counterstories seek to alter the dominant group’s assumptions as well as the oppressed person’s perception of herself,” serving as “narrative acts of insubordination” (Nelson qtd in Gaudet, emphases in original). Counterstories have been used throughout history to share and pass the experiences of multiple folklorist groups, to ignite insight into individual’s plights and to ensure justice will be…
