    After the Civil War, America went through a controversial event that changed the social order of society. Because the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves, the white elite no longer controlled the African Americans. As a result, they felt threatened and wanted to secure their dominance in society by “incorporating” the influx of different cultures from immigrants and Native Americans. In Rebecca Edwards’ New Spirits: Americans in the Gilded Age, she states that there was an “incorporation of America” where assimilation began among certain groups to make them part of the whole. For example, the Native Americans faced a great deal of “incorporation” within what the whites thought of as an ideal society; as a result, their “incorporation” caused

By this, she means that instead of fighting for recognition as a sovereign Nation, Indians can also refuse to be categorized and treated otherwise. Her third and final claim is that anthropology and political science must come to challenge things that are perceived as “settled,” especially when it comes to the politics and culture of indigenous people. Simpson points out that Indians and settler colonialism has not yet been “settled” and should not be regarded as such.

In particular, it refers to those reckoned to have the aptitude of being inventive and rational, or which deploy languages which departed from the common usage.

  • Essay About The Right To Education In The Philippines

    1829 Words  | 8 Pages

    In the Philippines, the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares that education is a right of every Filipino (Maligalig, 2010). Thus, the policies of the government on education have been primarily about education for all citizens. Being a right, this must benefit every member of the Philippine population regardless of their language and ethnicity. The right to education, however, must not be confined in the context of being able to go to school or having more areas and structures for schooling. The right to education is undermined and meaningless if teachers are under-trained, learning curricula and materials are irrelevant and learning environment is unsafe and not conducive (Mapa, 2013).
