Chech Republic: A Cultural Analysis

After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, the Chechen-Ingush ASSR was split into two parts: the Republic of Ingushetia and the Chechen Republic. The latter proclaimed the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which sought independence. Following the First Chechen War with Russia, Chechnya gained de facto independence as the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria. Russian federal control was restored during the Second Chechen War. Since then there has been a systematic reconstruction and rebuilding process, though sporadic fighting continues in the mountains and southern regions of the

I felt quite at home with the atmosphere, and enjoyed myself through the event. The experience proved to be fulfilling and gave me a peak to a new culture, and taught me many things about hospitality, celebrations and other norms and values significant to the American culture.

Curare, or Chondrodendron Tomentosum, is a plant extract from Central and South America. The extract serves as a poison that has traditionally been used by South American indigenous peoples to aid in hunting efforts. By dipping arrows in poison, the hunter could then hunt for food by slowly poisoning it’s prey through asphyxiation. Intuitively, eating a poisoned animal would be unwise, but the toxins in the Curare do not remain in the body. White Europeans took note of this unique property, and in the 1940s modern science had transformed this lethal poison into an effective anesthesia and muscle relaxant (Betcher 1977). Since then, pharmaceutical companies in the United States have patented and made massive profits from Curare while the indigenous

Children across the country can be heard pledging allegiance “to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands;” however, research shows we no longer have a democratic republic in the United States. When the desires of the majority are systematically subverted to the desires a small and powerful minority, as is often in the case in the US, that system is an oligarchy. The democratic republic envisioned by the founding fathers has been replaced by an oligarchy to which they would have objected. With no express discussion of corporations in the constitution, the responsibility of defining the role and privileges of corporations in the US has been left largely to the United States Supreme Court.

In the early part of the Cold War era, Americans were truly afraid of Soviet Russia and the spread of Communism, and this fear affected the society and culture of the U.S. in many ways. One major display of this fear was the government’s use of the media to influence the way people viewed socialist ideas. National security agencies provoked movie producers to release films such as “The Red Menace” of 1949 that gave the American people even more reasons to be afraid. Furthermore, anything that was seen as anti-communist or perceived to be contradictory to socialist views was encouraged, and this was witnessed in several aspects of Americans’ daily lives. The CIA funded magazines and concerts that exemplified American freedom and supported artists

On November 23, 1989, the Berlin Wall succumbed to the hands of masses of people, synonymous with the collapse of both the Soviet Union and the fall of communism.

Since the Cold War era, the spread of democracy and its implications have been highly debated across the world. As more states adopt this method of government, the question of how to interact with opposing states has taken the spotlight in the context of international relations. Some scholars, like Robert Kaplan, believe that democratic elections do not help with social and economic stability in developing countries. Others, particularly supporters of the United States idea of democracy such as Sean Jones, believe that democracy benefits the inhabitants of newly democratizing states, promotes peace in the international system, and advances U.S. interests. This paper will explore the support and opposition of the claim that spreading

Russia had been an imperial autocracy since the reign of Peter the Great in the 1700s, Before the revolution of 1917. Russia had become a great world power after Napoleon’s army got defeated in the 1800s. The want for social and political change in Russia began to grow, during the 1800s.

1917-1918, the Russian Revolution emerged centering around two essential events: the February Revolution, in which the Czar was overthrown, and the October Revolution, in which the Bolsheviks took over power resulting in the creation of the world’s first communist country led by Vladimir Lenin. This resulted to the brutal, cruel and bloody Civil War. What was left was an extreme regime that was to rule Russia until the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, which also meant the end of communism. Despite the creation of an extreme regime including suppression, forced labor camps, execution of people with different ideologies, bribes etc., the communists had a great goal at first. The Communist Party wanted to achieve social and financial equality in a classless and stateless society in which the fulfillment of human needs including satisfying work and an equal share of benefit derived from labor was essential.

We asked in advance if we could camp in their driveway. Her and my Uncle Pinakin were more than happy to have us. We really didn't do much there. Priya mostly stayed in the camper because of course he had to bring his laptop with her. The rest of us went into my aunt's downstairs room and played playstation 3 and went on her computer.
