Analysis of Three Articles about Kush History from the 25th Dynasty in Egypt until their Concentration in Meroe
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing three articles on Kush history from the 25th dynasty in Egypt until their concentration in Meroe. The history of the Kush of Nubia is recounted in three articles by Helen Chapin Metz, Claude Rilly and Noah Kippley-Ogman. The Kush were concentrated in Nubia until the expansion of their strength and influence eventually led to them conquering Egypt around 750 B.C. and ruled during the 25th dynasty until approximately 656 B.C. At this time, they were invaded by the Assyrians which led to their retreat to Napata and eventually Meroe. Once concentrated in Meroe, the Kush became a major trading force based on their central location and production and trade of their own iron. Eventually however, the Kush became weakened through the exploitation of their own resources which led to the loss of their farming industry and the end of the Roman empire which reduced trade along their route. Meroe was eventually conquered by the Axumite army A.D. 350 thus ending their independence. Metz, Rilly and Kippley-Ogman provide slightly different perspectives, details and areas of concentration in their articles which provide readers with an overall history of the Kush but are not necessarily consistent in the details of each era of the Kush. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Ancestry And Race Of Persons In The United States, 1990
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. When assessing the value of Table #5 with regard to racial and ethnic relations within the United States, one can readily comprehend a significant imbalance of cultural populations and their locations. Clearly, central cities and those near suburbs reflect the highest number of persons altogether, with the European white citizenry standing far more populated than all the rest. It comes as no surprise, then, to learn that white privilege serves as the primary racial and ethnic concern over and above most other issues of America's prejudice. No bibliography.

Anthropology of the Body
[ send me this paper ]
This 11 page report discusses anthropology of the body and the ways in which every culture constructs a symbolic system of meanings which includes a representation of the body and a theory of the body’s physical existence. In western society the body is viewed as a symbol of individualism and separation. In traditional societies the body connects the individual to the society and nature. Such an anthropologically-constructed body can be analyzed in terms of form, content, knowing and value. In the study of the anthropology of the body, it is important to consider the body as the subject and object of social processes. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Anthropology: The Political Functions of Supernatural Rituals; The Misunderstanding of Civilization; and, The Values of American Culture with Comments on the Distribution of Wealth and Public Education
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 4 page paper discussing supernatural rituals and political power, misunderstanding and civilization, and individualism within American culture. Three central ideas within modern day anthropology are discussed, namely: the political functions of supernatural rituals; the misunderstanding of civilization; and, the core values of American culture in relation to the unequal distribution of wealth and the public education system. Supernatural rituals have a political function which can be twofold: those who are influential within the religious structure in society carry that power beyond the ritual itself; and, politically, those who wish the support of a large population within society can align themselves with a religious group. Misunderstanding and illusions for truth are part of the realizations of a young daughter in Barbara Kingsolver’s novel “The Poisonwood Bible” but these ideas are applied to anyone’s idea of his or her own civilization which becomes wholly dependent and built on one society but is inapplicable to another. Finally, the idea of “individualism” within the United States has become so profound that those who are wealthy within the U.S. (including the government itself) have done little for those who are less fortunate. This is well reflected in the high poverty rates in the country and the public school system which is unable to meet the basic needs of its citizens. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Baker’s Sinhalese Village Study
[ send me this paper ]
In A Singhalese Village in Sri Lanka: Coping with Uncertainty, Victoria J. Baker is making a case for how the people of Suduwatura Ara, an agrarian society of homesteaders cope with the uncertainty surrounding their lives. In pursuit of this subject, Baker looks at both the macro and micro environment, not only of the people, but also the researcher. She includes a discussion of her fieldwork in 1984-1985 and her return in 1994-1995, how she had to learn the customs and build a house to live in because of the poverty. Poverty is the main thrust of her argument in the case study concerning this particular group of Sinhalese, though her main thrust is how they cope with the persistent uncertainty of losing their homes and livelihoods. 1 work cited. jvSinhal.rtf
