It is clear that the British way of integrating Western culture within Indian society was more successful than the equivalent process involving the French in Algeria.These people had respected professions, such as “lawyers, doctors, teachers, journalists and businessmen”, they had “established a Western life-style using the English language and English schools” Outside the upper class Great Britain had introduced Western technology to help improve the livelihood of the population.In Algeria the French also brought about Western civilisation to some extent, creating schools and building cities as well as constructing hospitals, however they spent 162 years with almost constant violence.In addition both occupations were valuable building b...

As time went on, Japan started to put its own culture in its education, while deriving from French and German systems.In Great Britain, the Industrial Revolution resulted in an improvement of civilian life.The IR improved Japanese education as Japan was exposed to western traditions.Once being isolated and resistant to western influences, Japan was eventually exposed the IR that was changing the world.The Industrial Revolution impacted Great Britain by raising the standards of civilian life, in America it resulted in the growth of trade, and in Japan it improved education.

The major difference between Western Imperialism in India and Africa is that in Africa more than two groups were fighting for the land.Some of the positive effects of this western imperialism were the new technologies such as medicine and nutrition that were brought to Africa.Others were outraged at the exploitation of the Indian culture.Many people in India embraced the new opportunities that Britain provided them with.The West believes that it was there duty to spread their “glorious” culture to those who were less fortunate then those.

Both the social reformists and the conservatives took a fresh and critical look at their own society and culture as a reaction to western interpretation of the same.Also it gave birth to a spirit of inquiry in the minds of Indian intellectuals who came in contact with western education.Indian culture benefited from Western culture in the area of education.This situation made India an attractive colony to Britain as it seemed unquestionable that Britain would benefit from the situation.Along with Christian religion came the rest of British or Western culture, thought and customs and the gradual end of traditional ways of life.

After the Opium Wars, Britain gradually began to introduce social and religious reforms, due to their increased racial superiority.Examples of Western influences are apparent by the influx of Christian missionaries, and the construction of Christian churches and railways in China, in order to promote their ethnicity.Moreover, Britain’s sensations of culture superiority and her economic necessities were other reasons for overseas expansion in this area.This superiority gave Britain the extra confidence to advance into China.Hence, the pace of Western modernization was slow.

Indentured labor was vital to the development and expansion of new European colonies such as Trinidad.Although the commencement of indentured labor helped the economic and financial position of the Caribbean islands, it also caused cultural and social strains.Although the importing of the indentured laborers would have eventually been profitable for Britain, the arrival of the first Aslan Immigrants to the Caribbean In 1846 caused a great toll on Britain’s economy.Indentured laborers, as new arrivals coming from India, were members of a caste ociety.The phenomenon of the migration took a new turn with the migration of the professionals to the developed nations.

The issues surrounding the relationship between technology and culture have continued to interest critics and writers well into the twentieth century.Having observed the adoption of such new technologies as the steam engine and other types of new technology, the Scottish intellectual Thomas Carlyle described this period as the “Mechanical Age”.The Industrial Revolution, which began in the mid-1700s first in Britain and later in Western Europe, is the most significant collection of technological, social, and economic changes in human history.A case in point is that in Friedrich Schiller’s ‘Letters upon the Aesthetical Education of Man’ (1795), argued that the machine was a threat to individual freedom and a destructive force on contempora...

From c. 3,000 B. C. the flora became essentially the same deciduous trees that Britain has today with, oak and elm being dominant.Artefacts recovered from Star Carr show the occupiers were proficient hunters, fishers (disputed), boatmen and had a ritualistic culture.For example, the extraordinary headgear discovered at Star Carr indicates ritualistic culture and/or wise hunting methods by disguise and not forgetting Schalla-Hall’s belief that Star Carr was a wholly religious site.With very low temperatures in winter and diminutive food sources, they are commendable to be able to survive at all let alone tackle immense mammoths and have the culture they did.The foremost reason for this change in society is due to Britain being isolated fr...

[3] It is the first time the Chinese Empire (Qing Dynasty) encountered with a western European country in the battlefield.V The sense of origin and identity of Chinese people in Britain In general, most of the British Chinese people would be treated as the British rather than Chinese, even though they have a strong traditional Chinese culture background.Because the problem of the universal values in mainland China, people might have aloofness to the Chinese identity, however the Chinese culture is still very attractive to them.[20] 3.1 The Chinese communities and Chinatowns in contemporary Britain The British Chinese community is the second largest in Western Europe and thought to be the oldest; many of them live in Britain for generatio...

As a result, even though Britain recognized the damage opium had done in China, she failed in her moral and legal duty not to encourage or participate in smuggling opium into China, especially after it had been banned in Britain.On the one hand, the Chinese perspective on the cause of the war is about Britain’s immoral poisoning of China with opium from smuggling, while on the other hand Britain holds the view that the war was as a result of Chinese arrogance that treated foreigners as inferior beings and subjected Western countries to unfair trade and unacceptable diplomatic standards.Other Western countries soon moved in to exploit China’s war wounds as France and America secured similar trading concessions (CNN, 2009; Hooker, 1996).Th...

This paper has explored the critical aspects of cross cultural management in three main economic regions that denote the variation in the culture of management.Dahles, H & Wels, H 2002, Culture, organization and management in East Asia: Doing business in China, Nova Science Publishers, New York, NY Fan, Y 2000, ‘A classification of Chinese culture’, Cross Cultural Management: An International Journal, vol.China highly embraces a socialist structure of management, unlike the western countries.On the other hand, Britain is located in Western Europe.This backs the research by Hopkins, Nie and Hopkins (2004), who concluded that emphasis on quality management in the western countries like Britain remains to be a critical impediment to the ent...

The story of a dual narration, “Season of Migration to the North” narrates the stories of Mustafa and the anonymous narrator which are lionised by society and colonialism.Finally, even the most interpreted meanings can be contradictory.Morris and Sa’eed re-enact these iconic literary roles, which can also be interpreted as being the binary of Western and Eastern rather than Othello and Desdemona, Othello representing Eastern and Desdemona representing the West.Despite Mustafa appearing to symbolise resistance to British colonisation, British culture enters into his character, and changes Sudan and its people in many ways.When Sa’eed was put on trial for the murder of Jean Morris, a professor who came to his defense argued that Sa’eed was...

Therefore, while mainstream culture and the political establishment may well have both publicly and privately continued to denounce homosexuality in all its forms as a sin (and preferred to keep homosexuality firmly outside of the realms of civilised society), the removal of the spectre of a criminal offence telegraphed a major turning point in the way in which gay people were viewed and treated in post war Britain.Britain, origin of so much cultural and political vibrancy and of the democratic principles which are now held to be self-evident in modern Western nations, had a particularly difficult time ridding itself of a virulent and persistent form of discrimination: its stubbornly conservative refusal to accept homosexuality and homos...

But even in the revised version, western technology remains important.Scholars from the developing countries argued that the developing countries were not the beneficiaries of this theory, which was meant for them, but the western countries who created it were only getting benefitted out of this theory as it helped the companies to grow and establish in the Third world and could find their new consumers of their products (Thussu, 2009).It represents the experience of the western culture on the others.His view of modernity means that it is full of forces like the ‘dynamic and development forces’ which means that the Western cultures are being imposed on the Third world nations in order to modernise and develop their countries.Very few sys...

...re an attractive and lucrative business for future generations.Western countries gain all the benefits of the laws set by the organization and in my opinion, that is unfair.What that means is that the farmers have to buy prepackaged, preservative and pesticide filled seeds every year from corporations every planting season in ... .And this is the industry must people in these countries rely on.Philip Legrain states that countries like Japan, Germany, Britain and South Korea are losing their farmers because they aren’t earning enough by simply staying in the business.

International events taking place in Western Australia are the Hopman Cup, the Perth Cup, the Red Bull Air Race and the Gravity Games.Despite this, the majority of immigrants are from Great Britain, and Western Australia - especially Perth - has the highest proportion of British-born residents compared to other states: 10.6% in 2006 , compared to a national average of 5.3%.Europeans began to settle permanently in 1826 when Albany was founded by Great Britain to prevent French claims on the western third of the continent.Western Australia did not receive significant inflows of immigrants from the UK, Ireland or elsewhere into the British Empire until the early 20th century when projects - such as the Group Settlement Scheme of the 1920s w...

Ram and Font spent four years in England and are obsessed with English civilization and culture, but they also despise British colonialism and hypocrisy and they participated in guerilla fighting against the British during the Suez War.there is this comparsion of the eastern culture vs the western culture that made the novel intresting to view from one point.Font and Edna return to Egypt at the eruption of the Suez crisis, but Ram stays on in Britain, is ejected because his visa has lapsed, and then works for a period in a factory in Germany.The characters, Ram and Font, are Egyptians who are Anglophone and upper class, and so are out of touch with the new order.The room also contains a book, purportedly the “Life Story” of MS, dedicated...

The motif of the red dragon in the Welsh flag is a symbol of the Welsh people´s resistance against Anglicization and of the perpetuation of their culture and language.Until the eighteenth century, Welsh society was divided into an Anglicized élite of Welsh descent, loyal to the kings of England, and Welsh peasantry whose lifeways remained practically untouched by English culture.This is a sort of fair which offers a cross-section of all domains of Welsh culture and language, including literature, theater and the visual arts.The most populous Celtic community in Great Britain are the inhabitants of Wales in the western part of England.Medieval history is dominated by the struggle of the Celts in Britain against Anglo-Saxon supremacy.

Berger used the term to describe a process ‘by which sectors of society and culture are removed from the domination of religious institutions and symbols.’ (Berger 1973) Wilson applied the term secularisation to ‘the process by which religious institutions, actions and consciousness lose their social significance.’ (Wilson 1982) Secularisation was not only used to illustrate the influence religion has on society, but also how it has been altered to deal with the changing values of society as it ceases to be the ‘cement’ of all social life and is slowly becoming privatised.(Hunt 2002) Secularisation is associated with Max Weber’s work as he explores one phase, ‘the disenchantment of the world’ that he regarded as a prominent aspect of Wes...

(Hillstrom 2007) Conclusively, the paper has discussed and argued over some of the impact of industrial revolution on British, Europe, and Americans, and provided various arguments supporting earlier occurrence of Industrial Revolution in Britain.Besides, working attitudes, government was effective in providing huge amount of funding to new industries, in order to motivate them in achieving their goals and in providing employment to locals that is considered another valid argument to support occurrence of Industrial Revolution in Britain before Europe and America.This is another major argument related to earlier occurrence of Industrial Revolution in Britain, as wood was the major resource of Britain for their energy and heat purposes, a...

It is very hard to isolate one factor as the key-factor as they are all interrelated, and all play a large role in climatic conditions here.It is important to remember that the air masses bring different weather depending on the season, so the seasons are actually affecting the air masses themselves and the extent to which they affect UK weather and climate.The Jet Stream is key in determining which air mass affects us, as it meanders north and south over Britain, allowing warmer air masses to dominate as it moves north and colder air masses to dominate as it moves south.Therefore, in my view, it would be wrong to say that the air masses alone are responsible for producing the climate experienced on these Islands.These wet, unstable char...

Increased demand of Opium by Chinese was a business opportunity from Western Countries, India and Ireland.Another factor that contributed to rise of conflict between China and Britain during the Second Opium war was slave trade (Trocki, 216).The major cause of the wars was due to opium smuggling in China by drug traffickers from Ireland and United Kingdom of Britain (Willoughby, 13).It emerged that to win the war against opium, there was need to adopt Western technology.The Chinese Imperial government had put on measures to adopt Western technology so as to win the war against opium.
