Activists and Campaigns: Animal rights organisation PETA has a longstanding reputation of targeting well known brands and utilising confrontational and aggressive message strategies and tactics (Kanski 2016).

The dance crests allude to the important farming skills that men will need in order to provide for their wives and children in the future. During the ritual dance, two men dance as the Ci Wara and his female counterpart. While wearing these headdresses, the men will hunch over and “transform [from] two-legged dancers into four-legged animals,” channeling the impeccable agricultural abilities of the Ci Wara. Additionally, this particular Ci

Sooner than the other areas, the tropical and temperate regions of the world started developing warmer, wetter, and more stable conditions where many animals and more wild plants could flourish. Technological agricultural advances in tools, like sickles, were produced to help with the new vegetation. Unlike the newly available wild life flourishing in areas like the Fertile

This brought villages together physically through agriculture practices while their philosophies united many as a whole throughout the states bringing stability and contentment throughout history. Therefore this text will explore how rice farming and philosophy, such as
