The dance originated in New

GREAT AND LITTLE TRADITION The issue of great and little traditions did not arise for the first generation of anthropologists who, following the example of *Malinowski, mainly studied remote, self-contained, small-scale societies. It was only after World War II, when anthropologists began to study communities integrated within larger states and participating in centuries-old religious traditions such as *Buddhism or *Christianity, that the problem arose. The terms ‘great’ and ‘little’ traditions

The Cambridge Introduction to the 19th-Century American Novel, the traditional sentimental novel’s storyline focuses around a young woman finding her way through life, usually without the support of a conventional family. The women overcome life’s hardships, and “the key to these women’s triumphs lies in their achievement of self-mastery” (Cane 113). According to Gregg Cane, these didactic novels are targeted at young women to instill the idea that a domestic home, marriage, and family are what construct

they are granted. The pristine future they describe is nevertheless dominated by men and women are given the subordinate role. Mario Klarer explains how Atwood created the world of the novel: “The Handmaid's Tale is thus designed to illustrate how orality can be deliberately cultivated to cement political structures.” The government of Gilead knowingly put women in a lower place to force them to grab at power.

Emirati animated sitcoms emblemize the idiosyncratic concerns and ethnolinguistic identities in the United Arab Emiratis (UAE).

No god shows this more than Aphrodite, the goddess of love and sexual relations. Her appearances on the battlefield are few and far in between, but when she does appear it leaves a lasting impression on our mind, since she acts so differently than the honor-filled men of the epic

Poverty Poverty is about not having enough money to provide basic needs of living such as food, clothing, and shelter. Poverty is not only about money it’s also not having somewhere to sleep at night, being sick and not able to go to the doctor. Poverty is not able to go to school and get a proper education.
