    America Vs Pakistan Research Paper

    Before arriving in American I was curious about American .I often wondered about their lifestyle and culture.People in Pakistan connect themselves to American ,they see people from the United States and think that they all are same. The fact that there are many differences between both of these countries. They may resemble one another in some way, yet are different from each other. I have spent eleven years of my life in Pakistan and I can see many differences between these two countries. In my opinion the most prime difference between these two countries is that they enjoy different kinds of celebrations and holidays, and have dissimilar costume styles.…

    Harappan Society

    Bibliography: -U. Singh: A History of Ancient Early Medieval India: From the Stone age to the 12th Century. This book provided me with information which allowed me to mould and develop both my thesis and the subjects examined. U. Singh 's analysis, while being on par with other well respected texts in terms of content and complexity, was accessible and comprehensive enough to be of use. Many of the texts I looked at were to refined to give someone who had no research background regarding the Indus Civilisation such as myself any relatable or easily understandable information. -bruceowen.com/worldprehist/EMC9f18.htm -G. Possehl: Harappan Civilisation and Rodji. -G. F. Dales: Excavations at Mohenjo Daro, Pakistan: the pottery. I was able to comprehend little of this book as it was written at a high level of specialisation yet what I could to extract was very useful in my discussion of Harappan pottery. -J. P. Joshi: Harappan Architecture and Civil Engineering. I found this useful when studying the houses and cities of the Harappans. -http://www.historytution.com/indus_valley_civilization/index.html -J. Marshall: Mohenjo-daro and the Indus Civilisation. -C. A. Winters: Harappan Basic Signs. This essay gave me a basic understanding of the Indus Script and its controversialities.…

    Life in Pakistan

    Coming from one country and adjusting to another where everything is different, was difficult for me. Until this year, I have lived all my life in Pakistan. There are many differences between these two countries like the lifestyle, culture, religion and others. The main difference I have found is the lifestyle. This huge difference in the lifestyle of the United States has made it quite difficult for me to adjust. In exploring how life in Pakistan differs from the U.S, I have drawn parallels from this transition to that of the wilderness and saying that every time I made a change in my life I am thrown into the wilderness.…

    A Brief History of Afghanistan

    The story of Afghanistan is in so many ways a very tragic one. Afghanistan is one of the most impoverished nations of the world. It is one of the most war-torn, most ravaged, and most beleaguered of nations. It is a nation that has been beset by invasion, external pressure and internal upheaval since before the time of Alexander the Great. Its people are a people who have endured more than most of us can ever imagine. In fact, for many Afghanis, all that has changed in the last one thousand years are the weapons which have been used against so many of them. It is therefore with great sadness and respect that I tell the story of Afghanistan.…

    Pakistan's War on Terror Up to and Beyond 2014

    While Pakistan continues to be a frontline state in the global war on terror, it is simultaneously fighting domestic terrorism in a war that will seemingly continue well beyond 2014. In recent months, terror attacks targeting the Shia Hazara minority in Baluchistan indicate a transformation of the terror problem in Pakistan. The Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) and Lashkar-e-Jhangvi present two different sides of Pakistan’s terrorism problem, however, the two organizations have increasingly converged operationally to the extent that Pakistan cannot eliminate one without simultaneously confronting the other.…
