    The Hopi culture is a diverse one and when first encountered by the Spanish they were described as Pueblo people due to the fact that they lived in villages. Even today most of their people remain isolated from the outside world with the goal of helping to preserve the beautiful culture they have established over the centuries. It is still a vibrant and living culture with the main ethic being peace and goodwill. The type of homes the Hopi built were mostly adobe and stone apartment villages which is what they are most known for thus generating their name of Pueblo people. I personally was not able to distinguish an exact form of how they made their everyday living but from what continues to be emphasized was that they were farmers so my theory…

    Though considered two different ethnic groups, the Tutsis and Hutus speak the same language, inhabit the same regions, have the same customs and traditions, and have intermarried for generations. In fact, there are very little physical differences between the two groups at all. In 1916 when Belgian colonists arrived in Rwanda, they distinguished between the two groups and consequently began to treat them differently. They believed that the minority Tutsis were superior and offered them better jobs and education, leading to ethnic tension. It is believed by some historians that the two were never defined by ethnicity, but by class or caste. Traditionally, the Hutu herded cattle and grew crops, whereas the Tutsi herdsmen became the landowners, a leading position that may have led to the belief held by the Belgians.…

    In just three months, from April to July of 1994, more than half a million Tutsi people were murdered. Some sources say that the Rwandan genocide should be renamed “The genocide against the Tutsi” because not both groups were affected. The mass killing took place in Rwanda, located in Africa near the equator. It is one of the most populated countries in Africa, and is also one of the poorest countries in the world. The feud started because Rwanda was under the Belgian administration and the Tutsi were being treated better than the Hutu people were (Longman 2-3).…

    Richard Franke argues that traditional West African cultures invented better adaptations to their environments than were developed later through outside, Western Influences. As is stated in the first page, "the historical record so far suggests strongly that Western policies have been major contributors to the current degraded state of the Sahel that renders its food production systems so vulnerable to shifts in the weather." (Franke, p. 257) The thought, is that this is because we do not have the historical background or scientific knowledge to do what was envisioned. The relationship between the herder and the farmer is very important and something that you have to be very careful with when trying to find a solution.…
