Ideological Conditions

Albanians are segregated; the ones living in the mountainous north became Roman Catholics, whereas the in the southern and central part of Albania became Orthodox and later converted to become Islam. This was the reason why Albania had two major cultural groups which is a total of ninety percent of its population. The Northern Albanians’ group is called the “Ghegs” and the Southern Albanians’ group is called “Tosks”. The other ten percent of the population are the minority groups that have come from neighboring countries. The main discussion of this essay will be focus on four different topics; history, culture, society and the economy, and government and politics. These topics will be discussed in a linear fashion and how the country was developed to now call Albania. It will also show the importance of how Albania is relevant to United States for being part of the Northern Alliance Treaty Organization also

lower class struggle and work harder for their money. In documents 1,2,3, and 8 it shows that it affected

This theory also focuses on inequality which is an important part of this argument because: at the start of 1980 the rate of unemployment started to rise to 3% and 20% by 1990; in other words, unemployment rose by 23% in 10 years. Within this rise resident’s homes were foreclosed and thus started the increase of problems of poverty and social inequality.

Mark Doty’s essay, “Artificial,” addresses a topic that many writers have pondered over the centuries: technology. People have often argued that the very idea of technology inherently contradicts nature and that which is “natural,” but Doty takes a different approach when discussing the relationship between these two. He references several ideas central to William Blake’s works, namely Songs of Innocence and of Experience and The Marriage of Heaven and Hell. From these works, Doty infers Blake’s implicit idea of the soul’s progression “from innocence to experience to a third … state, an Eden that seems like … innocence with the added quality of self-knowledge” (8). Doty considers what the physical equivalent of the progress of the soul looks like and how it is affected by the introduction of technology – an idea which he calls “a Blakean hierarchy of artificiality” (8). With Blake’s idea in mind, Doty argues that technology, working in tandem with nature, is essential for the progression of humanity.

“It has converted physician, the lawyer, the priest, the poet, the man of science, into its’ paid wage labourers.” “…has put end to all feudal, patriarchal, idyllic relations.” “Adopt the bourgeois mode of production.” “…products are consumed, not only at home but in every quarter of the globe.” Concentrated property in few hands-> less risk

In sociological theory there are many concepts discussed that are utilized in the analyses of society and culture. Some of the main concepts are Postmodernism, Historical Materialism, Structuralism, Interpretive Sociology and Poststructuralism to name a few. These theories are relevant to the research of understanding certain or specific cultural texts. These concepts provide problems and solutions associated with some of the research approaches fore-mentioned. Analysing the main dimensions will be covered by discussing the appropriate concepts separately and by individually contrasting the classical and modern theories with Quentin

The 20th century has seen a continuation of the battle between reason and romanticism, rationalism and mysticism. With little conflict, Darwin and Freud co-exist in the modern mind. Marx exhibited the split vision, extolling the power of practical, realistic workers who would create a utopian world. In fact, this dichotomy which began in the Renaissance and became a gaping wound in the 17th and 18th centuries as we embraced science and reason as our god, has allowed for 20th century aberrations like Hitler and his Aryan ubermenchen or Stalin and his totalitarian state. Clearly, the 20th century mind is in dire need of healing. But only reinventing a healthy vision of humans in the world, one which integrates both the rational bent

As society continues to evolve over years, each country of the world will be developed more rapidly than before. In such cases, there will be some fierce competitions between countries, and these oppositions have related to some phases, such as its global economy and social lifestyles of its citizens. Countries have more oppositions with each other in the aspect of its labor and economy than any other features. In previous years, enough labor forces could support the growth of the national economy of a country because they had available jobs to do. Nevertheless, the demand of the labor and economy is different than what it’s used to. The population has surpassed the acceptable size, and industries in the labor force are surplus. For the moment, technology, skills, and machinery have become the trend of the global economy.

Now the life is changed and developed. Moreover, the human becomes more responsible and committed to struggling to study, educate, search, skills, experiences, positive activity, and ambitious. In addition to, the duties and responsibilities of the community. Away than slavery that represents as remittance worker's to the area those work in, to the home country origin that does not offer them a good life, also to the family do not comprehend the back negative on them all. But, in bad vision, there are many backward communities than other developed communities. Unfortunately, those do not take with them consideration that

People around the country are living in a very hard economic crisis that they have experienced since 2008. This difficult situation has created circumstances that cause people to lose their jobs and companies taking the options of laying off employees, creating a big impact in many families around the country. This situation has not improved at all in the last three years, which makes it very hard for anyone to find a job. The consequences for all these changes are affecting families’ lives in different ways emotionally, socially, and financially. According to the United States Department of

These changes include globalization, housing markets, education and family income and wealth. Newman found that global competition has a profound effect on young adults in countries like Japan, Spain, Italy, and United States who find themselves facing extended unemployment (Newman, 2012, p. 45). This is forcing many to live at home with their parents. Young adults new to the labor market feel a great increase in competition and in the downward shift of wages (Newman, 2012, p. 45). Young adults see globalization as competition for already scarce jobs, which means that young adults who have little work experience have to compete for jobs with people who have vast working experience (cite?). As a result, it is the youth that suffers from globalization. The rate of unemployment is also high in countries with weak welfare states such as Japan, Spain, Italy and the United States (Newman, 2012, p. 61). Weakened welfare states are another cause to the increase in accordion families due to governments and states leaving young adults to be their own responsibility during economic trouble (Newman, 2012, p. 61). Compared to generous welfare states including the Scandinavian countries that offer those in trouble higher education benefits, affordable rental housing and unemployment benefits, unemployment for those with a weakened welfare state face higher rates of unemployment (Newman, 2012, p.

Human beings are social by nature. Necessity induces them to live in society. As, they have a variety of needs. If they lead a cooperative life with his fellow beings in society they can easily get their needs fulfilled. Many of their needs will remain unsatisfied if they does not lead a cooperative life with his fellow beings. They characteristically have a fundamental need and desire to maintain positive social relationships. As stated in the previous chapter, the new assemblages of relative deterritorialization has brought in several changes in the social and private lives of the characters. They are affected by the decay and disorder of their culture because of the social changes. They have been uprooted from the set beliefs and scattered

The article relates to the topic deviance and social control in this section of the class. In looking at deviance there are different approaches that can be taken.

Communism, democracy, Islamism, Catholicism or the Divine of the Right of Kings, there are a number of beliefs since the beginning of the times. These beliefs are being followed by the human beings. There is no doubt about the fact that the belief systems are needed by the human beings for the sustenance and organization of their lives. However, since the past there is one main kind of the belief system that has been disliked by many, capitalism. The main aim of capitalism was to justify the elite and a high standard status that the capitalists have in the society. How these elite capitalists control many operations within the society for personal gains is the main failing them of the belief of capitalism. This paper will show a link between capitalistic values and the drugs that have been assigned as illegal. How these drugs being assigned as illegal represent many values and beliefs of capitalism will be highlighted in the paper.

Societal change is an unstoppable force, followed by an inevitable outcome. This phenomenon is yearned by some, yet dreaded by others. Regardless of human opposition, nature inexorably takes its course, gradually transitioning from one seemingly immutable concept to the next. These shifts can range anywhere from the subversion and replacement of established cultural norms with fresh new ideals, to the inescapable advancement and refinement of technology. Over time, a society’s constituents begin to recognize certain motifs, which emerge in an epoch’s progeny, ensuing from the evolution of human thought and attitude. As a result, the people have imbued these time periods with names that best encapsulate their meaning and significance. In this research paper, I will delve into the fundamentally unique and directly opposed worlds of Modernism and Postmodernism, two time periods which lie beside each other and yet share almost no common ground. Modernism is based on rational thinking, logic, and the scientific process, aimed at creating a clear and rational view of the world while advocating the belief that there is much to learn from the past that could be beneficial to the present. Postmodernism, on the other hand, advocates the belief that there is no universal truth. It questions the rationality of Modernism and its ideologies, believing that there is no connection between the past and the present, a complete opposite view as compared to Modernism. Through the
