Divination through oracles, the word of the paramount ruler or a decision by a council of elders represented the truth. European colonial masters introduced Christianity, the scientific method, and the Western legal system to West Africa. Islam arrived much earlier, along the trade routes from North Africa (ICG, 2010; Paden, 2005; Kenny, 1996). During colonization, both Abrahamic religions...

Many things in life require a license: driving a car, owning a TV, and previously ownership of a dog. Licenses exist to help regulate such aspects of our society and culture, to keep things civilized and maintain some sort of order, ensuring our safety. With this in mind, I question why there are people free to conceive and attempt to raise a child without any sort of training or license. A child’s development and well-being are wholly dependent on their...

“Women”, is a word associated with a nurturing persona; in modern times, a symbol of perseverance and strength. However, the opinion on women has been shaped throughout the years with both negative and positive connotations. Although the perspectives changed, many still oppress women, finding them inferior to men. The short stories, “The Yellow Wall Paper”, written by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, and “The Story of an Hour”, written by Kate Chopin, both written in the 1800s, similarly use the depiction of...

We live in a world where we are constantly surrounded by signs that signify different objects and ideas, influence our thoughts, and help shape our view of the world (Gaines, 2011, 15-16). The media plays a huge role in communicating how meaning is created and conveyed through words, images, and signs (Berger, 2019). Berger (2019, 12), defines texts as a collection of signs, which means that a semiotic analysis can be applied to all texts in order to interpret the...

In light of these events, Lincoln delivered his speech, more...

Nurture is the behaviour which is learnt through environment and socialisation, whereas nature refers to the idea that behaviour is biological or innate. Psychologists believe that our behaviour is due to nature, whereas sociologists believe that it is down to nurture. One reason nurture is more significant than nature is primary socialisation. Primary socialisation occurs when a child learns the attitudes, values, and actions appropriate to the members of a particular culture. When we are born we don’t know the...

Cinematography contains many different intentions, much of them going far beyond the direct action of photographing the action. Many of the methods used are all about adding visual subtext and visual metaphor to a scene. The ways in which the cinematographer uses movement, composition, color, and light can be powerful tools to enhance the dramatic elements of the story. Martin Scorsese’s 'Taxi Driver' (1976) is an example of skillful and deliberate use of cinematography to engage the audience and provide...

Although there is debate on whether ‘The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn’ is able to properly critique all parts of Twain’s society, it successfully analyzes the immoral practices of his society through his descriptions of mob mentality. The most blatant way Twain critiques mob mentality is through the use of the character of Colonel Sherburn and the town’s attempt to lynch him. As Huck is traveling around with the King and the Duke, they stop in a small town to put...

This might be the most apparent similarity that Chillingworth...

If we look at the chain, we find the term “homosexual” as the pioneer, but it was soon replaced with the word “gay” in the 1950s because “homosexual “ was believed to have negative connotations. By the 1960s, with the promotion by Lars Ullerstam, this community was referred to as a sexual minority. Then, as time progressed and people became more...
