“Shakespeare in the Bush” by Laura Bohannan is an example of how culture is essential to be able to grasp the meaning behind the language being used. Laura Bohannan was given a copy of Hamlet before she left to West Africa. This copy was given to her in order to study Shakespeare and to “lift [her] mind… and possibly, by prolonged meditation, achieve the grace of correct interpretation.

is old and extremely difficult to understand. When Professor Laura Bohannan, an anthropologist who had spent many fellowships in her career conducting research in East Africa, visited a tribe of people called the Tiv of West Africa, she read Shakespeare’s Hamlet, and believed the story had a very clear plot and that the understanding of the story could not be interpreted multiple ways. In Bohannan’s short story “Shakespeare in the Bush,” she

Its amazing to think that our recent ancestors saw nothing wrong with burning ‘witches’ and hanging children for the crime of stealing a handkerchief while in today’s Western society it is universally accepted that these punishments are no longer acceptable. While studying AS level sociology I was struck by the way in which individuals can affect these hugely influential changes on the society around them.

Throughout the entire speech the three rhetorical appeals of pathos, ethos, and logos, are all used effectively and powerfully to get her message across. She mainly targets the audience of empowered women but she also

Unsatisfied with simply being in medical school, Morgan decided to look around Nashville to help his community while practicing and studying medicine. Morgan searched for places that would allow him to do both and found that Siloam Medical Center was the perfect place to bridge both of his passions - Christ and medicine. In fact, the mission statement of Siloam shows how perfectly both of these two seemingly unrelated ideas can come together. The mission statement reads, “Sharing the love of Christ

I never knew about Michelle Obama until her husband, Barack Obama was elected as the 44th, first African-American president. I chose the book Michelle Obama: A Life by Peter Slevin because I wanted know more about Michelle more than the First Lady she is.
