Europe Ethnographic Analysis

Geography was an important element in Europe’s culture. As stated in the article, “Conversely, this variegated landscape encouraged the growth, and the continued existence, of decentralized power, with local kingdoms and marcher lordships…”(17). This is beneficial because the power is split up and one government does not have all the power. The geography also resulted in altering climates. This led to differentiated products that could be traded. A crucial part in European culture was the steady improvement in ship’s armaments. “The siting of cannon on sailing vessels was a natural enough development at a time when sea warfare so resembled that on land...”(24). This improvement opened up a brand new way of warfare. It allowed Europe to control the water trade routes. Another element that contributed to European culture was the replacement of a feudal system by a three class system. The European class system changed by the addition of the middle merchant class. The middle class financed a social transformation that broke down feudal customs. As a result, there was a smaller gap between the different classes. These three elements were factors of the “European Miracle” which had a great impact on the culture of

When Europe was driving cars, Papua New Guinea was still hunting and gathering their food. The geography of a country is the main reason Europe was booming with development with others were going down, which caused major inequality today. Geography controlled the country's agriculture, what animals were available to be domesticated, what germs were introduced to the civilization, and if steel could be developed. Europe has geographical advantages that let them advance faster than other countries. The geographic location gave the Europeans many advantages. The geography gave their civilization the ability to develop productive agriculture and domesticated animals. With this the Europeans had a good food surplus, developed immunity to pandemic diseases, and forge steel. These geographical advantages allowed them to decimate other civilians, making them even more powerful.

Europe was a major power over the course of world history, before the rise of the United States, which was originally a British colony. As a result, many people wonder why that came to be. Why is it that Europeans became so dominant instead of the Native Americans or the Incas? Jared Diamond attempts to provide an answer to this question by writing the book Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies. In this volume, Diamond describes how geography is the major reason why history became history. Using Diamond’s explanation, we can see how geography determined Europe’s fate in the approaching future.

Africa and Eastern Europe are two vastly different regions on Earth but they share many more similarities than people would think. Both of these regions have exclusive geographical features that help define them apart from the rest of the world.Although Europe is a bit more economically sound than Africa, that wasn’t always the case. This proves that there is more to the history of regions of the world than meets the

Europe is the second smallest continent and though it is small it contains forty countries, it's heavily populated just under six hundred million people. Its countries have had and still have a major impact on world affairs, whether it's fashion industry, famous for their cuisines, and their advances in technology, and the way some of these European countries enjoy high level of development despite major physiographical challenges. Europe is rich for their resources like the cultivable soils which is great for their farming and wild animals that can be domesticated to do help with labors. They are also known for their rich fishing waters and they also contain deposits of oil and natural gas.

Courtney was not available to meet in person due to the time constraints. This was unfortunate because I would have preferred to do the interview in person, as it is easier to talk to people and is an important way of getting information from someone. We decided on doing a Skype session to talk about Jimmy and his disability. We decided on talking at 7 P.M. on a Wednesday night and allowed one and a half hours to talk about Jimmy. Since I have known Jimmy for many years, I did not want to come in to the interview with a bias. I asked very straightforward, basic, probing questions, assuming I did not know anything about Jimmy or his disability. Courtney is very passionate about working with children with Autism; she also studies Neuroscience

Queens is the most diverse borough in New York City, and one of the most diverse communities anywhere. To what Cultural or ethnic communities do you belong? Is there an art work (it can be a song, a piece of fine art, a dance or a performing art piece) that has a special significance in your culture? What is it and what does it signify to you?

I am from a Filipino family, but was raised in Guam, a very culturally and ethnically diverse island in the Western Pacific Ocean. Guam’s culture embraces the pluralist view of Michael Walzer 2004 that it is a place of diverse “ethnic, racial, and religious groups” (p. 635). Historically and culturally Guam has been exposed to many peoples from diverse backgrounds. But white people are usually referred to as “haole,” a Hawaiian term for a caucasian or non-native. There is definitely a culture that portrays “haole’s” as disrespectful, entitled, and ignorant. Despite this, many visitors of the island commend its hospitable and welcoming culture. The only reaction I can expect is that my brothers will be good hosts to my guest. And being in a

The true photographer knows many worlds other than this one. The true photographer is more than just an individual trained to capture images. They, like those creating with clay, ink, paint, or celluloid, are artists of a unique craft.

The skill that I feel very confident that I do really well is photography. I have loved photography for as long as I can remember. I remember there was a photography photo of a man and a woman surrounded by beautiful flowers. When I was about 10 my parents got me my first camera for my birthday. I love my camera I got every time my family goes camping I take a lot of pictures.

In conclusion, agriculture, domesticated animals, germs, and steel are all products that can be credited to geography and all helped Europe become the most powerful country in the world. Geography affects latitude which affects the climate of a region which impacts agriculture and domesticated animals, and all of the previous allow time to invent and build new tools and technology or lack of time and absence to the ability to evolve and progress in technology. Civilizations such as Europe were very fortunate with geography which meant agriculture, animals, germs, and steel would come with it. Generally, when a civilization has good crops and agriculture, the climate is suitable for domesticable animals, so people in the civilization build an

The European Union is one of the most famous Economic blocs in our recent times. It is the culmination of efforts after the devastating Second World War. It currently includes 28 states with varied cultural and historical backgrounds and even different languages. It now has more than 30 separate international trade agreements with many countries such as Colombia and South Korea (Encyclopedia of Management).

During the historical time period from 1450 to 1650, western Europe was arranged on an era of extraneous investigation and financial growth that distorted society. This duration took part in attending a stretch of European civilization to go a long way off of the borders of the continent. There were some factors that facilitated the expansion of European society from 1450 to 1650. There were also motivations both for the individual European explorers and the states that supported them.

The ethnomethodological conclusion I can make from my experiment is that people are so used to expecting certain things from people that when those exceptions are broken people feel uncomfortable and awkward, but the more years go by the more things people are being exposed to and things that weren’t normal are now normal. I think that’s why some people didn’t react awkwardly, because maybe they have been exposed to other things that other people. It can be because of their culture, or the friends they have now that have changed the way they think and their lifestyle. For example, I’ve been exposed to a lot of things this semester. Things that are not okay at home, but now that I am here in college I’ve learned how to have an open mind because
