Domingo Faustino Sarmiento says as much in his article “Civilization versus Barbarism,” he states “When there is cultured government that cares about the national interest, then what business, what industrial movement there will be!” (Sarmiento 97). Sarmiento is also encouraging the political change that he believes that needs to

certain parts of the world, mainly the Global South, “are populated by irrationally violent and uncivilized peoples” (Bau 2010, 23). The ‘New Barbarism’ thesis is exemplified in Robert Kaplan’s “The Coming Anarchy.” Contrastingly, Paul Richards’ Fighting for the Rainforest sought to undermine the arguments behind both “The Coming Anarchy” and the ‘New Barbarism’ thesis. The dominant representations of conflicts in Africa are found through Western media coverage, which have simplified and distorted complex

protagonists is Caliban, a representative of barbarism. Shakespeare uses Montaigne’s essay On the Cannibals as a source to construct this character, but his view on barbarism is not completely identical with that of Montaigne. Montaigne believes that barbarism is synonymous with a natural and original state of mind, which is good and blameless, while the so-called civilization destroys this valuable nature. Nonethelss, Shakespeare claims that barbarism itself is an evil state of mind, and civilization

In Civilization and Barbarism: the dangerous classes, they talk about the slaughterhouses and what goes on in them as well as the people who run it. They are horrible people who take pride in what they do. They slaughter animals and take to heart what their leader tells them. They are forced to wear a symbol to recognize who is their boss and who they belong to. They may run the plant but someone also runs them.

According to Punter’s article, the major theme of American Gothic is the triumph of civilization over barbarism. I think that in a sense this triumph is found both in Hawthorne’s stories, especially in “The Birthmark”, and Poe’s “The Fall of the House of Usher”. He also emphasizes the importance of place and, in the case of Poe, of premature burials; these two things are particularly remarkable in Poe’s story. The three stories defy logic and rationality. In the case of “Wakefield”, the reader finds

In stories like Dracula and "The Sloan Men", the racial and ethnic 'Other' represents exoticism and sensuality as well as danger, especially to white womanhood. This is a very common pattern in imperial history, including the wars against the Native peoples, the treatment of African slaves by the white settle states and the colonial occupations in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Non-white and alien 'Others' were at once both seductive and menacing, both as a threat to European identity and notions

Civilization and barbarism – polar sides of humankind – have fought for dominance in the spirits and behavior of people. They cannot ideally co-exist, but defiantly do, which causes turmoil in lands across the world. Civilization supports the survival and prosperity of humankind while barbarism threatens the future of communities. In “What We Have To Lose,” Theodore Dalrymple explores the “fragility of civilization” and the merciless consequences of the command of barbarism through his childhood

Conflict Between Barbarism and Reason in Lord of the Flies        William Golding's Lord of the Flies is a carefully constructed fable that was, in Golding's words, "an attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature."
