The World Enters The Technological Era

In these 5 paragraphs I will talk about the Inuit and Haida tribes.The second paragraph will talk about challenges they both face.The third will talk about resources they both have.The fourth will talk about the Universals of Culture such as shelter,tools,and clothing.

              The Inuit tribe has used many natural resources in assisting them to provide food. As they hunt, many of their game don’t just provide food, yet more than that. The Inuit hunters have used sealskin and blubber, from seals they have caught, were used to make clothing, materials for boats, tents, harpoon lines, and fuel for heat and light. Their boats, harpoons lines, clothing, help them gather even more food.

Many people, when they think of Native Americans, will think of dancing and strange rituals, which is not the case with the Inuit Tribe. The Inuit Tribe are located in the far Arctic North. Also known as the Eskimo, the Inuit people have adapted to live in the freezing temperatures. They live by some of the most common ways Native Americans do. They practice not to waste anything they kill and also practice making arts. The Inuit Tribe have many ways to survive in the wild even with the hardships and scarce resources around them (Sontella 5).

Globalization has affected this group in many different ways throughout the years. The largest impact of globalization on the Sami is their new found dependence on consumer goods. Traditionally, Sami herders relied on a mutual cooperation between each other on the management of local environments and reindeer population in northern Scandinavia (Sami People, 2013). Reindeer herding in Finland represents a lifestyle and occupation for about 1,000 families who rely on approximately 200,000 reindeer. While any citizen of the European Union who is permanently domiciled in a reindeer area of Finland may breed reindeer, Norway and Sweden reserve reindeer husbandry for Sámi people (Dana and Dana, 2007). The boundaries of the year-round and winter grazing lands of the Sami are specified in the Reindeer Grazing Act of 1886 and subsequent relevant legislation. Reindeer

Since before the beginning of United States history, the people of the United States have oppressed and repressed the Native Americans that have lived on this land long before them. The lyric, “All of the other reindeer/ used to laugh and call him names/ they never let poor Rudolph/ join in any reindeer games” parallels the

In the film “Eskimo Fight for Life” the Inuit winter camp has a defined social structure. From generation to generation the roles of men and women remain the same. The most important role for men is to hunt to feed the camp. They hunt seal which is a symbol within the camp because it conveys the meaning of survival. The women are responsible for supplying the camp with the necessary clothing such as fur coats and boots. The women also teach their daughters these skills so that they can make their own clothes and boots. The Inuit camp also has their own language which enables them to communicate with one another. With the use of language, the elders, especially the grandmothers, can tell the children stories. These stories are one way they pass

To begin, some challenges faced by the Haida and the Inuit could be the same or they could be diverse. For instance, because of the temperature where the Inuit are located, hypothermia and frostbite could occur, whereas this is not a problem for the Haida. Moreover, the Inuit do not have trees to make wood houses. However, the Haida does not have this same problem. Alike, both tribes have to adapt to cold winter weather, which, as you can imagine, can be very challenging. As you can see, both the Haida and the Inuit

In the novel Brave New World, by Aldous Huxley, the world as people know it is advancing technologically, scientifically, and influencing humanity in a negative manner. Huxley uses the World State to express how such advances are slowly ruining humanity. The World State and the people living in it are a prime example of how technology and science are tainting humanity and society. Throughout the novel, many connections to todays society can be clearly identified and connected to. People in the World State are mass produced through the Bakonovsky Process.

The Sami are an indigenous group of people that are spread over the Russian Kola Peninsula and the northern parts of Finland, Norway and Sweden, where their territory is called “Lapland” . In the past, they were typically nomads, living off hunting and fishing, or

The Inuit people live in the harsh conditions of the Arctic region of North America. Once referred to commonly as “Eskimos,” Inuit’s are spread out in different regions across the Arctic. As a foraging culture, the Inuit’s live and operate in wide range of terrains as they forage and hunt. This paper will explore the traditional kinship systems of the Inuit people and contrast them with similar systems used by the American Culture.

Some universals of culture that come to mind when describing the Haida and the Inuit is religion in traditions. When describing the Inuit, I know from back knowledge that they care a lot about religion. So much to say that they say the northern lights are spirits. When discussing traditions that the Haida celebrate the list goes on and on. Including their tradition of totem poles, to represent status and family.

Each of these tribes has different resources to use. The Inuit have ice and snow for igloos, very little wood for huts,

“That is the biggest worry, these caribou, and others that feed off the land. When there should be snow on the land, instead ice forms and the food is then not accessible.” by Tsa Piubgituq describes the struggles of a typical family in the inuit. This report will go into Inuit culture, traditional Inuit life, and the government of the Inuit people. The Inuit people are an interesting bunch of people who have lots of culture and background that will be discussed in this essay.

The Inuits live in really harsh conditions in the Arctic. They have lived there for a really long time. They live in a place called Nunavut. They are brave to live there. They are not able to make wooden homes, because of their climate region, so they make snow houses called “Igloos”. In the summer, when the snow melts, they cannot make igloos. They live in tent like huts made of animal skins. Inuit communities are found in the: Northwest Territories, Labrador, and Quebec.

There is no doubt that technology has advanced tremendously in the last half-century. Technology has provided extraordinary improvements to our world; being an endless source of entertainment and nonstop communication anywhere at any time. But are these technological advancements a good thing? The youth of today are constantly immersed in these technological advancements whether through cell phones, gaming systems, or laptops. As technology continues to advance it is negatively affecting our health, communication skills, and the education of youth.
