gender is cultural. For some of the world there are two genders as well as two sexes, but gender ambiguity, transgendered, the third sex flies in the face of the notion that the former is true. “The terms third gender and third sex describe individuals who are categorized as neither man nor woman who recognize three or more genders. To different cultures or individuals, a third gender or six may represent an intermediate state between men and women, a state of being…

Final Paper This year in First Year Seminar I formulated a personal guiding question. This question, to me, represented a fundamental aspect of modern society that I wanted to better understand. I asked… “How can the people of wealthy countries use their wealth to improve the standard of living for those in poverty, domestically and internationally? And why do these people not do more?” I wanted to know how so many people can live in absolute poverty, despite modern technology and the…

Today, much of the toxic waste produced in first world countries is dumped and processed in third world countries, which lack the necessary technology and regulations to protects its inhabitants. This has harsh consequences on the health and quality of life for those in third world countries. This follows with the idea of environmental racism, such that these people are viewed as “lesser” and “uncivilized” and therefore their wellbeing…

Mohanty explains, “in other words, only in so far as ‘Woman/Women’ and ‘the East’ are defined as others or as peripheral that (western) Man/Humanism can represent him/itself as the center.” (Mohanty, 1984, 352) Mohanty explains that if women and the third world countries continue to be set aside and classified as the “others”, men will always have control and be the center of power. She also states, the “others” are not monolithic and cannot be categorized into one group because they are not…

Although the allies had defeated Hitler, and his third Reich, a much bigger conflict had yet to be solved in the world, which lasts to this day. Throughout the whole war, the allies had worked together closely, but a feeling of distrust permeated the air amongst them. After the war the Russians felt they should receive the bulk of the prize as they had barred the brute force of the German army. However, the allies thought otherwise and thought it should be equal amongst them all. As the…

The principles of the Jubilee discussed in Leviticus 25 can be applied to third world countries, but there are benefits and disadvantages if the Jubilee system is applied. Depending on whose perspective one looks at, the Jubilee system would benefit or pose as a threat. To the less fortunate and those who had sold their property as a means of survival would receive all of their property in the year of Jubilee. The rich, who had exploited from the poor, would disagree with this system as they…

is the betrayal that has existed and continues to exist in this world. Greene illustrates this message of betrayal throughout all his novels, maybe he was betrayed by someone very close and decides to include it in his novels. For instance, in The Third Man, when Rollo Martin decided to investigate the mysterious death of his friend Harry Lime. I first perceived Rollo as caring, brave and most of all honest. But, this perception changed at the end of the novel when Rollo assisted in the capture…

states in the third world were labelled as ‘underdeveloped’ and countries embarked on varying development missions. At the time of decolonisation the western powers viewed industrialisation as the key to building up and to succeed in economic growth. Third world underdevelopment was seen as the result of a lack of capital and appropriate preconditions needed to appropriate the ‘take off’ of an economy, and it relied upon the patriarchal perceptions of western policy makers that the third world…

We are surrounded by literature on a regular basis and it approaches us in many ways and forms. Often literature is presented to us as a series of words that simply fill the pages, words that contain deeper meaning which requires our own interpretations. Plato once though that books were not only “for mindless pleasure but an aid to bringing the soul-circuit, when it had gotten out of tune, into order and harmony with itself.” It is known that the great works of literature have had an…

viability by managing to avoid the Great Slump which descended on all the major capitalist economies of the world. This remarkable feat engendered a host of communist revolutions and after World War II, Soviet expansion that resulted in over one-third of the world’s population living under communist rule. In America, Roosevelt, had created the modern welfare programs such as social security and government subsidies, while also reporting an age of high tariffs and overall intervention by the…
