Nuclear Annihilation or Terrorism Prior to the late 1970s, psychologists generally ignored the impact that nuclear mutually-assured destruction was having on the minds of U.S. citizens (reviewed by Wagner, 1985). However, the Three Mile Island accident, failure to ratify the SALT II treaty, and Hollywood depictions of what can go wrong, fed the public imagination and psychologists began to pay attention to the long-term effects of living with the threat of immediate nuclear annihilation. Based…

probable theory to the beginning of the caste system is the movement of Aryan population into India from the north. The Aryan peoples conquered much of India and its ' natives causing a separation between the two populations, possibly explaining the separation between the higher castes and the “untouchables.” Additionally, the Aryan 's imposed their preexisting hierarchy on the natives thus creating the caste system. However, “According to Hindu tradition the caste system owes its origins to the four…

The caste system presence keeps different communities separated, lowers national GDP (Economic activity/development), discriminates against those of the lower caste, slows the development…

The Indian caste system is historically one of the main elements where people in India are socially differentiated through classes, religions, regions, tribes, genders, and languages. Caste is a term which is used to specify a group of people having a specific rank. The Indian term for caste is jati and generally designates a group that can vary in size from a handful to many thousands. The various jati are traditionally arranged in hierarchical order and fit into one of the four basic varnas – Brahmins…

to keep reading after this line thinking to myself how I feel sorry for Dhowli and who she is going to become since getting pregnant with a Misra boy who is dominant in the caste system. Dhowli creates an ambitious, courageous, and philosophical figure in the short story “Dhowli” by Mashasweta Devi. In the short story the caste system is well defined showing of social stratification of two opposite levels of the social chain in India. To an American reader the foreignness of how India treats single…

you think individuals not permitted to leave the caste they are born into? Individuals cannot leave a caste they are born into because the caste system is a way of the government keeping control of society. The caste system sets up each individual place in society, therefore not allowing the people to leave the caste they are born into makes sure that everybody stays at the same economic and social status since their birth. Based off of how the caste is set up, I conclude that one is not permitted…

Q4. Don Mitchell, in his article ‘The Annihilation of Space by Law,’ argues that ordinances passed against the poor in the 1990s point to a highly exclusionary type of modern citizenship. What does he mean by this? In what ways are the poor excluded from modern citizenship? How is this exclusion justified socio-politically? Space is never innocent. Regardless of whether a specific area is deemed public or private, space is never innocent because of the bodies who govern those areas. Today, there…

murder of an ethnic, race, religious, or national group based on discriminatory preconceptions (Payne 33). The heart of genocide is destruction: the annihilation of minorities. Minorities have always been the scapegoat for most governments in times of crisis or when the government has been mismanaged. Minorities are even considered non-human. The annihilation of a specific target group does raise to question why and how this would be carried out. A genocide happens due to external and internal factors…

generation, female, rural and the lower caste students. This has changed student demographics in academic disciplines. Due to diverse students’ group on college campuses, the higher education institutions are facing diversity, social justice and discrimination issues. Caste-based discrimination is one of the issues which is pervasive across the institutions in India (Neelakandan & Patil, 2012; Nambissan, 2006 & 2009; Patwardhan & Palshikar, 1992). The lower caste students have been experiencing discrimination…

hand of Adolf Hitler, fighting a legitimate war of nations and not involved in the genocide which was conducted by the Schutzstaffel (SS) and other Nazi police forces. It is well known now, that is not the case. The war in the East was a war of annihilation and the Wehrmacht was just as complicit as the death squads at Auschwitz. To begin with, the intention of Hitler and the Wehrmacht leaders to exclude Jews from the Wehrmacht was unambiguous. At the same time however, it was not possible to make…
