design shall suffer death or any other punishment as a court martial shall think fit. That is exactly what Captain Bligh’s crew took upon themselves. The crew had no reason to blame him for the rations of water because he was doing it to keep the breadfruit alive which was the whole reason for the mission. Indubitably the crews actions were unlawful. The Captain of the HMS Bounty was William Bligh. He was very strict in his actions and in his punishment. He followed the “Articles of War” like the Pope
When it comes to raising children, the culture is somewhat different than that of Americans. Infants are typically nursed until the age of two or three or until an older sibling is born. Around the age of four or five the children are required to begin helping around the house. They do things such as help with younger siblings, run errands, and do small chores here and there. The young boys of the family are typically allowed to do some exploring as well as helping with fishing and gathering. All
The fruits provide nutrient density, while lau lau provides a good source of protein without adding a lot of salt or added calories. Culturally acceptable foods that should be modified include poi, pipilaula, poke, and breadfruit. Poi should be modified to add fruit instead of added sugar, in order to lower the total sugar content. Pipilaula should be limited due to the use of salt and sweetener. If you remove the additional items, it could potentially alter the dish to
Ital is Vital Food is more than fuel for our bodies, it nourishes our souls and feeds our hearts. A significant part of Rastafarianism is eating Ital. Ital is a rastafarian term for a saltless and vegetarian diet. Not all rastafarians strictly follow this diet, however it is held as an ideal. In Nyabinghi ceremonies, eating Ital is part of the ritual protocol for all participants. There are many different aspects of an Ital diet, many different singular beliefs and philosophies on eating Ital,
Food: Puerto Rican food is a blend of Spanish, African, Taíno, and American influences being somewhat similar to Spanish, Cuban, and Mexican cuisine. Locals call their cuisine “cocina criolla” (Créole cooking) which can be traced back to the Arawaks and Tainos, the original inhabitants of the island, who thrived on corn, tropical fruit, and seafood. The Spanish brought beef, pork, rice, wheat, and olive oil while slaves from Africa brought okra and taro (known in Puerto Rico as yautia). All of the
were not so much concerned with money and material wealth as in living freely. Households at the time—and this can also be seen sometimes today—consisted of a sleeping house and a cooking house, surrounded by an ua ma, or pit for storing fermented breadfruit could be found.
The ecosystem I have chosen is tropical rainforest. In the following paragraphs, I am going to firstly introduced the structure of tropical rainforest in brief, with the second part of the plant ecology and last the diversity within this ecosystem. Geographical location- basically, tropical rainforest is roughly taking place within the latitude 28 degrees north or south of the equator, concentrated in South America at the same time, scattered in Africa and south Asia. The Peninsula de osa in Costa
The Jamaican culture is a religion and lifestyle that defines the people of Jamaica. The culture is mixed with different ethnic groups. The society is diverse. There has always been a question about the language spoken in Jamaica. People in Jamaica speak English (from British influence) with a dialect called Patois (Patwa). This language is spoken mostly throughout Jamaica. This language is a combination from different inhabitants in its history. For example first there were The Taino people who
The Catastrophic Impact of Rising Oceans on the Pacific Islands All over the world indigenous communities are faced with an array of new problems, though the public continues to gain insight into the lives of these people they continue to be marginalized in the global arena as well. The Pacific Islands are an entity far removed from the minds of most westerners. The primary focus of any political discourse within the United States places most emphasis on Australia and New Zealand ignoring the
Customs Tipping is optional in French Polynesia; it is not required nor expected. Usually, people do not tip others unless you/they have received a superb amount of excellence in service (though most will not accept it but the fact that some restaurants will have it written in the bill on whether tips are welcomed or not). There are also many churches in French Polynesia, but there are no cemeteries. When one passes away, they bury the deceased on their lawn, as you can often see a small, concrete
Growing up in Hawaii, I’ve had many unique experiences that other teenagers in the U.S. have not. My family has been living in Hawaii for several generations and ever since I was born, my mom strongly encouraged me to know and learn more about my heritage. Since my mom is from Molokai, she has had many different Hawaiian experiences. Also since my grandmother lives there, I’ve spent just as much time on Molokai as I have on Maui. To me, the real Hawaiian experience is on an island such as Molokai
The Movement of People Caused Environmental and Linguistic Effects 1. There were a number of technological advancements used in the construction of Viking longships to make them more efficient. The unique planking technique utilized when building the ship was one advancement that made the ship higher in quality and ability than previous ships. Instead of using a saw to create the planks necessary for the foundation of the boat, woodworkers would use broad axes when cutting planks for the Viking longships
La Isla Del Encanto I wake up at six in the morning barely having slept the night before because of this big day. All possible scenarios played out in my head; good ones and bad ones like driving to the airport an hour or two earlier so I would find parking and avoid traffic on the highways or something as bad as locking the keys inside of the car right before checking into the airport to board my luggage. I stayed in bed an extra five minutes contemplating these ideas with groggy eyes but soon
The Red One Jack London was one of America’s greatest authors. His works were of tales from the unexplored savage lands of the Klondike to the cannibal infested Philippine Island chain of the vast Pacific, and even the far reaches of space and time. Jack London himself was a pioneer of the unexplored savage frontier. London wrote about this unknown frontier with a cunning sense of adventure and enthrallment. “He keeps the reader on tenterenters books by withholding facts in a way that
1,766 miles south, 6 hours of flight, how different can it be? Jamaica is a totally different place than the small square we call home here in Barry county. Is there anything that is the same? What all is different? I can tell you that there is a lot to be said on this, and there is almost more difference than similarities when you travel that far down, and walk into a totally different culture and climate. The first thing you notice once you get off the plane, is the heat. Jamaica is in the tropic
diet of the Melanesians and Micronesians, who ate boiled or baked corms and the leaves of taro. Young taro leaves are used as a main vegetable throughout Melanesia and Polynesia. They are boiled or covered with coconut cream, wrapped in banana or breadfruit leaves and cooked on hot stone. Thus, taro is one of the few major staple foods where both the leaf and the underground parts are equally important in the human diet. Within the last sixty years, investigators have confirmed the superiority of
Jamaica is a wonderful place to visit and is popular for tourism. It is an island located in the Caribbean within the tropics. Jamaica is known for its food, art, music (dancehall and reggae). Many people are fascinated by Bob Marley because of his songwriting, musician, and a guitarist, which eventually achieved international fame and acclaim. My experience on the small island was very interesting. I have learnt so much in the two weeks while I was there. The culture is very warm and welcoming as
Giving to others through humanitarian projects is not only inclusive of providing monetary solutions for food. Philosophies and intention to reach specific goals are also associated with the needs of others. The Hunger Project is designed with the central goal of eradicating poverty. However, it is found that this is not done only by feeding the poor, but instead through empowerment initiatives that allow others to change their lives. When looking at the approach used to The Hunger Project, it can
In the continent of Oceania, halfway between Australia and Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean, lies a group of 32 islands and a coral atoll straddling the equator. This country is named The Republic of Kiribati (pronounced kee-ree-bahs), or simply Kiribati. Kiribati is a unique country with intriguing customs and people. It comes from a European and Asian background but has developed a culture of its own with unique government, customs, history, religion, and more. Sadly, this country is one natural disaster
