  • Tibetan Independent Movement: The Tibetan Independence Movement

    571 Words  | 2 Pages

    Spiritual belief can be a very powerful political force. It can be used as a method of oppression or a mode of revolution. For example it can also offer a spark of hope to people defying oppression at their own risk of violence and or death. The feeling of a reality greater than ourselves, and the belief in a spirit that eclipses the horrors of the world around us, can inspire strength, loyalty and faith. This is most noticeable in the Tibetan Independence Movement, which is where Buddhism has played a huge part in the counteraction of the totalitarian rule of the People’s Republic of China. Tibet’s struggle for independence from the People’s Republic of China can be thoroughly described through the origins of the cause and the significant effects from the conflict.

  • History Of Haiti

    Growing up in Haiti, I liked every subject in school, but three of them. I actually feel like I hated Haitian History, Geography, and Civics. They were the three courses that an average Haitian student takes every year or at least every two years. There was always something new to learn about the history of Haiti, its geography, and Civics. Every night or four days a week, students were assigned one to three pages of Haitian History, Geography, or Civics notes to memorize a recite for a grade the next day. I honestly did not see the point of any of it, but I still had to do it.

    In Nepal, I experienced both the progressive style of family living and the older medieval style where custom and tradition count first no matter what. More than 90% of the people in Nepal who were born between 1978 and 1998 (the Generation Y youth) still live in old medieval-style families where cultural rules govern everyday life. The people of Nepal are socially segmented along lines of caste, sub-caste and ethnicity, and values and traditions also differ from one caste to another.

  • Suicide In Nepal Essay

    922 Words  | 2 Pages

    Another reason for a lack of good access to public health care for the Nepalese women is caused by religion. The major religions in Nepal are hinduism (82.62%), buddhism (10.74%), islam (4.20%), kirant (3.60%), and christianity (0.45%). Previously the economic and political power was centralized interlinking it with the Hindu caste system since the majority of the Nepalese population are Hindus. The hindu caste system consisted of the Brahmins(priests) at the top of the pyramid, Kshatriya (warriors and Kings) just beneath, followed by Vaishya (Merchants) and the Sudra (peasants and labourers), and at the bottom of the pyramid were the “untouchables” (butchers, carcass and waste cleaners). Although Nepal was declared a secular country in 2006 and the caste system abolished, the hierarchy in the caste system still lingers on.
