Cultural Diversity In South Sudan

Sudan is located in Africa next to Egypt, and it lays on the red sea. It was ruled at the time between 1896-1956. Sudan was at the time a backward, non-technological, simple life before imperialism. It had a lot of rich resources such as oil, natural gas, gold, silver, copper, nickel and agriculture which were the number one goal of any imperialist country. Sudan like any colonized country suffered from a lot of good effects and bad side effects some of them were short term impact and some are long term impact.

It was the summer of 1985 is Southern Sudan when many people sent out on a journey to have a better life. Salva, the main character was able to survive by using adaptability, positive attitude, and motivation. Salvas adventure was very crazy and scary. He watched many people die in front of him.

The Sudan Peoples ' Liberation Movement (SPLM) grew to enjoy the support of a large section of the rural poor and dispossessed in the North, since it addressed the fears of marginalized peoples. This marked a fundamental transformation of the original north-south division of the country, with ethnicity superseded by economic exigency. The ethnically mixed urban poor of Khartoum were able to say, "Inshallah, John Garang will liberate us". (The recent split in the SPLA- patched up again at the Abjure conference in June 1992 with the move by Garang towards the advocates of separation of the South - suggests that tribal and racial loyalties are still active factors, however, and that rhetoric may not always be matched by reality). The war in the South is best understood as resulting from opposing political approaches to the reality of diminishing resources. In the search for a lasting peace it is necessary to understand this new dimension to the old conflict.

“Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn't mind others being rich, as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense - the idea that anyone can make it” (Fareed Zakaria). The American Dream, to many Americans, is the notion of going from thousandaire to millionaire. It is the notion of that house with a green lawn and a white picket fence with a family and a dog. But to many in third world countries like Africa, the dream is merely freedom, opportunity and hope. In Sudan, wars ripped through the state, leaving millions dead and generations shredded in its devastating wake. The documentary film God Grew Tired of Us follows the journeys of the “Lost Boys” of Sudan and the few that were able to migrate to the United

If you could, would you want to be the richest person in the world, I bet you answered yes, but do you really know one of the most famous richest person in history was? Well, if you answered Mansa Musa you are correct! It is told that he was the richest person ever in history. Mansa Musa was the tenth emperor of the Mali dynasty. While Mansa Musa ruled from 1280 to 1337, Mali was an empire from 1235 to 1600 and many things happened during this time. Mansa Musa and his wealth was one reason Mali, lead to a site of cultural exchange, but Mali also became a site of cultural exchange because of the effects of trade, which also lead to spread of knowledge, ideas, and religion. Not only did Mali become a site of cultural exchange from the effects

“We are in the presence of a crime without a name,” said British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. The Nazis were always remembered for the killing of over six million European Jews, but at the time, there was no name for this wicked act. After the war, many of these Nazi war criminals were convicted of an act called genocide, a word that did not exist before 1944. Genocide is the intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial, or religious group. Genocide occurs because of many factors that trigger this cruelty. Although there are many reasons that can be considered to result in genocide, the three main reasons that result to this mass slaughter, are caused by: the authority that leads them, the ethnic tension between

Slava was forced to run at age 11 “Then he was running, too. Running as hard as he could, into the bush. Away from home.” The civil war in Southern Sudan started in 1985. The text follows a lost boy who was sucked into a perilous journey and facing situations where a split second could be the difference between life and death. This essay will be about how Salva, the main character in Linda Sue Park’s A Long Walk to Water is able to survive and overcome a variety of challenges through his hard work, relationships, and perseverance.

In 2014 Salvas foundation Water for South Sudan has drilled more than 200 wells for the tribes. The book's name is A Long Walk to Water. The author of the book is Linda Sue Park. The war in sudan started in 1983 and ended in 2005. The war killed at least 2 million people and left many people homeless without any place to go or anyone to go to for help. Salva is a survivor because he didn't get defeated by any of the animals, he almost got killed many times, and because his environment was very harsh.

The main lesson that you should have gained from this essay was that when you are in a bad situation, you should take small steps, and travel to places when in danger, use resources around you and adapt to the challenging environment The book A Long Walk To Water and the articles are very interesting and describe tons about the war in Sudan, and how they had to adapt to the challenging environment. One thing to remember is that George Bernard Shaw said, "Progress is impossible without change and those who cannot change their mind can't change anything." This means that change is needed in order to make something happen. In A Long Walk To Water by Linda Sue Park and in the articles “Salva’s Bio”, “Water for South Sudan: Salva’s Story”, and “Time Trip: Sudan’s Civil War,” it is shown that many people have to adapt in challenging environments in many

The Darfur genocide began in February 2003, and is still continuing today. Darfuri rebel groups, such as the SLM and JLM, are attacking the Sudanese and their government. They are “burning villages, looting economic resources, polluting water sources, murdering, raping, and torturing civilians” (Darfur Genocide). This violence all began between the groups fighting over oppression. After the government was accused of maltreatment, they fought back by doing an “ethnic cleansing” of Darfur’s non-arabs. The only pro of this was proving that there actually was persecution going on through the government in the Sudan. These oppressions and persecutions going on are just adding more fuel to the fire.

Is it possible to combine efforts to Care for Country with tourism and achieve Indigenous Australia aims? In relation to a specific case study, this essay evaluates Djabugay culture by discussing pro-poor tourism and how it can help the case study, the potential positive and negative impacts, and the impacts the culture faced in the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park. In a study conducted by Bottoms (1999), the Djabugay peoples have lived in the rainforest for at least 5,1000 years, and recent evidence has shown the Djabugay peoples have possibly belonged, and still do, there for the last 40,000 years. In 1938, "Djabugay" and "Tjapukai" were namd and "spelt ... by anthropologist, Norman Tindale in 1938" (Tindale, 1974). It was noted by Tindale

Despite hundreds of years of living together, both Africans and European have maintained their cultural identities. In some cases, the cultures fuse to create a different and richer culture that is regarded as a valuable national or regional resource. In a meeting of cultural misters of ALBA member states that include Antigua and Barbuda, Bolivia, Cuba, Dominica, Ecuador, Granada, Nicaragua, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Saint Kitts and Nevis and Venezuela, the ministers stressed on the need to promote “respect for cultural diversity within our multiethnic, multicultural and multilingual societies” (Castañeda,

I write this not as an Egyptian citizen, but rather as an individual that is worried about his homeland country’s future. Egypt is a nation that has many communities and therefore different cultures, beliefs and opinions. These different cultures form the final Egyptian culture with its traditions and customs. The citizens of Egypt are very proud of their culture and are trying to protect it from external modifications. Nevertheless, Egypt needs to integrate itself with diverse cultures as it is in the process of developing and needs to reshape and gain specific habits in order to advance. Immigrants shouldn’t fully assimilate themselves into the Egyptian culture. Instead they should consider themselves as multicultural. This in turn should

South Sudan is an independent country from Sudan. Sudan was plagued with major civil wars, and those in the Southern region of Sudan were targeted and attacked. Southern Sudanese were killed off in large numbers; many villages were raided. Those who weren’t killed or sold off into slavery had to make mass migration to surrounding countries- the most being allowed in Kenya in refugee camps. The civil war in Sudan results in immense deaths, child soldiers, and many displaced people. South Sudan gained independence in 2011 from Sudan, many years after the civil war began.

When we talk of diversity in the context of Nigeria, a number of criteria easily come to mind. Identified are six criteria which the typical Nigerian would consider relevant.
