Cultural Awareness And Its Effects On The Agriculture And Population

In light of the analysis of the graphic novel of Persepolis: The Story of a Childhood by Marjane Satrapi, it is clear that events portrayed in the novel represent the tribulations and tragedies that various citizens of Iran experienced upon the downfall of Reza Shah, the Islamic Revolution, and the Iran-Iraq War. In terms of plot, the story is told through the memoirs of upper middle class Tehran female citizen, Marjane Satrapi aka “Marji”, as she recounts her perceptions and views of the overthrow of the Shah’s regime, the success of the Islamic Revolution, and the devastating effects of the war with Iraq in relation to her transitioning beliefs on matters and how they affected loved ones. Each of these events showcased an extensive change in reform and Iran cultural values which shaped what views, lifestyles, and choices were supported and vilified by the masses. Furthermore, the story showcases the influences that foreign powers such the United States and Iraq permeated into Iran society along with the changing reception of foreign actions and ideologies throughout the 1970s and 1980s. The novel also displayed the issues related to male and female expectations of behavior in response to regime changes and cultural values during the transitions. The author subtly makes the point in her past recollections and her views on the events that transpired that the people of Iran were distinctly divided in terms of what ideology was supported. She also made a point to affirm that

Iran was now unprotected, and a new power came into being. The Arabs invaded and the quality of life changed. “People fell into poverty as the greedy court imposed ever-increasing taxes. Tyranny tore apart the social contract between ruler and ruled that Zoroastrian doctrine holds to be the basis of organized life” (21). The Iranian people couldn’t survive with a ruler who had no sympathy or respect for them. Their life was being over run by foreigners.

Iran is Middle Eastern country that you don't hear much about, but when you do you probably hear about war. Many children are interested in the Middle Eastern Countries because they have it different than us. The story my class and I read was about the Dumas family who came to America for two years from Iran. Kids in Dumas class were very interested in what her life was like in Iran. “They wanted to know about more important things, such as camels. How many did we own back home? How did we feed them? Was it a bumpy ride?” (Dumas 90). Everyone was intrigued by how different her home country was and curious to learn more.

My name is Dora and I’m half Persian and half African American. Today my paper will be on my Persian culture. (Persia) Iran it is in Middle East south of Russia and the neighbor of Iraq Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is 1.648 million square kilometers. The capitol is Tehran. Population is approximately 66 million. Over 60% of people living in Iran are younger than 30 years old and open minded, connected to the world, highly educated, intelligent. Iran is known for its oil reserves. Religion is Muslim. Tradition is extremely important. Let me explain a few.

The acronym PERSIA denotes the categories Political, Economic, Religion, Social, Intellectual and Aesthetic into an easy way of remembering one of many systematic models. These six categories are used to organize and explain technology’s effect and changes over a long period of time. By categorizing a specific topic or idea, one may easily be able to understand the importance that topic, idea and technology has impacted a person, culture, country, and even history. Thus, providing a new outlook and perspective on history and the factors that contributed to the change in history.

The world has had its reasonable share of ancient civilizations. The paper seeks to discuss the Persian Empire to understand how ancient empires developed. The paper presents a map of the Persia Empire as well as its neighbors. The research work reveals the formation of the empire under the leadership of Cyrus the Great. On the other hand, the research activity discusses how geography acts as a link between culture and identity from two main facets.

From the side of the possible impact of technology on the development of civilization, the situation in Persia is controversial. Despite the fact the country had valuable mineral resources – copper, tin, silver, gold, and iron, people had limited knowledge concerning the peculiarities of minerals’ extraction. Therefore, the utilization of the resources was also limited. The situation with agriculture was unsuccessful. People at that time faced difficulties with generating the agricultural

They remember Greeks, Arabs, Mongols, Turks, and most recently Saddam Hussein’s forces, all invaded their homeland. Iranians also remember that the British and Russian empires exploited them economically, subjugated them politically, and invaded and occupied their country in two World Wars (Ramazani 2009). Through this all, Iran’s geographical area and its people identity have remained more or less the same. The vast land– three times the size of France and twenty times that of the Czech Republic – is demarcated to the North by the Caspian Sea (740 km of coastline) and to the South by the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman (2,440 km of coastline). Three-fifths of the country, especially the central plateau, lacks the rainfall to sustain permanent agriculture. Farming is confined to rain-fed Azerbaijan, Kurdistan, and the Caspian coast, to irrigated villages and oases scattered throughout the county, especially at the foot of the mountain ranges (See Map 1 & 2) (Abrahamian 2008, p. 1). Iran is a neighbour to seven countries (Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan), which makes it a natural crossroad of civilizations and trade flows. Its rich history shows that for many centuries Iran has been a key land bridge between Europe and Asia through the renowned Silk Road and Spice Route (Central Intelligence Agency 2015, Thompson 1983, UNESCO

Alireza is a 4th year, male undergraduate student at the University of California, Irvine majoring in Mechanical Engineering. As a 22-year-old student he is a self-identified second generation Persian American. While Alireza uses the term Iranian and Persian interchangeably to identify himself, he tends to self-identify as Persian more out of “habit.” He then associates his Persian identity with the long history of Iran, which is conducive to pride. His parents both emigrated together from Iran to Berkeley, California in 1986 years after the Iranian of Revolution. His father specifically migrated to the U.S. for higher education purposes. Three different themes are identified in this interview: The Role of Family, The Role of Culture and Community, and the Role of Peers.

Iran is one of the World’s oldest countries. There is evidence of settlements in Iran that go almost 5,000 years ago. Land of green valleys and barren deserts in the Middle East of Asia.

The geography of Iran is remarkable due to its location in the Middle East. When looking at a map of Iran, you have Iraq, Armenia, and Azerbaijan neighboring the West borders of Iran. On Iran’s East perimeter, you have Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. On the South border, you have the Persian Gulf; and to the North you have the Caspian Sea that is one of the largest inland bodies of water in the world. The

Since the 4th century, the Persian world has held great might in world politics. In 1979, Iran was officially established and the Islamic Republic of Iran. Since then it has been an active and vocal player in world politics. It’s rich history of political revolutions have inspired new waves of government control, tyrannical and benign leaders, and great cultural change over time. The strong religious beliefs expressed by the people of this nation are both a form of unity and disunity that cause widespread schisms within this state. As a theocratic republic, the intermingling of religion and government within the state has caused a very controversial history for this nation. Since the late 70’s the influence of a Supreme Leader as well as a government headed by a president rather than a Shah, Iranians have experienced times of great oppression and great change. These studies of Iran have lead to the conclusion that within world politics, government leadership, diplomatic relations, mutual trust and geopolitical relations are main factors in a country’s ability to function internally and communicate with other nations.

The term culture is one of those words that we use routinely, but what is it exactly? Basically, culture is the multipart overall of a society which includes everything that gives a society an identity. Culture may consist of customs, languages, and religion beliefs amid other characteristics that are ordinary to people of a nation/region. What is predominantly interesting about cultures is that each culture, no matter where it is located, shares at least five basic characteristics. However, every culture has its own distinct characteristics that differentiate it from the others. One of such cultures is the Kuwait culture. This culture awareness essay will attempt to emphasis on cultural aspects of the people of Kuwait while drawing your attention to the social-culture annalists of Kuwait nation/region’s physical geography, current and passed military conflicts and their impact on the society, weather, and civil concern.

The central valley of California stretches as far north as Sacramento and south all the way to Bakersfield- from Shasta County to Kern County. It is some 450 miles long and typically 40 to 60 miles wide. It encompasses 18 counties with a total of over five million people and over 42,000 square miles--one-sixth of the population and more than two-fifths of the land area of the state. The farmers come from many different ethnic groups, and can be found all over the world. In the period between 166 and 1920, between the Civil War and World War I, California became and integrated part of the expanding United States and the construction and completion of the transcontinental railroad. This analysis will look at some of the unique cultural features that are part of this area. It was found that many of the rural small-scale farms are coming under increased social and economic pressures that can disrupt family life in many instances. There are forms of various Christian counseling that can help these families cope with some of the pressures they are facing.
