![]() The final and third level of their government system is based on the Islamic law system and not an active office since there is not a predominate Muslim community (Yoruba Legal Systems). The second and next level, is the District Court that is based on the British System, where more high level legal matters were handled and connected to the state system of government and hierarchy (Mary M. This court handles family and land matters primarily. The first of the court systems were the customary courts at the local level, men were expected to sit on one side and women on the other, everyone voting on public matters (Yoruba Legal Systems). How is that possible you might ask? There are three types of courts for legal matters disputes in Yoruba. “Yoruba history and politics in Nigeria are dynamic rather than static.” Is how author Falola who studies African Affairs described the Yoruba government (Yoruba Identity). Based on this, I would say that religion effected gender roles in Yoruba culture by simply making the people aware of gender and it’s hierarchy in certain religions.įinally, how does the role of gender play into their societies government? To first answer this we need to know what type of government they conduct. At one point in history, a woman must pray to her husband’s Ifa and find her spiritual fate through her husbands (Peel). One consequence of this primary gender being the heads of religion is that the Yoruba people began to establish a hierarchy in religion based on gender (Peel). Christian pastors and Muslim Babalawo were predominately men. In Africa, more specifically, Yoruba, we have to understand that the Yoruba people worship many gods who did not have genders placed upon them (Peel).The influence of other religions started to help differentiate and define gender. What it interesting is that in Yoruban religion, women are typically the most respected of traditional priests (Ember). The largest findings of Muslim and Christians followers are in the Yoruba ethnic group. Fifty percent of Nigeria are Muslims, forty percent are Christian, and ten percent practice ingenious religions (Ember). Let’s explore what the effects of religion has been in regards to gender roles. There has been an obvious increase in polygamous marriages and I think that this stems from the encounter of new religions brought during colonialism. The leader of the Yoruba people, King Ojaja, has three wives and a recent divorce to his would have been fourth wife (). That is not the case today, one prime example of expressing polygamy is the Ooni of Ife. Also according to Johnson, the Yoruba people were traditionally monogamous and polygamy was reserved for the wealthy. One thing that does seem to have changed is that divorce was not a common occurrence in precolonial times and now a days a man has the free privilege to divorce a wife (Johnson). A woman was considered to be a possession of the family that she marries into, being passed to a brother if her husband died or the family having rights to the children she bore (Johnson). ![]() A woman’s place in society was once based on her being a daughter of her father and one of the In Yoruba, marriage is expected of each sex at the socially deemed appropriate age, women in their twenties and men in their thirties. ![]() Speaking of domestic roles, one interesting place to study is the Yoruba culture’s marriages and traditions in regards to gender roles. In a review of McIntosh’s book, another scholar Insa Nolte, concluded that, “Yoruba women adapted their skills to support more widespread cultural notions as well as continuing their domestic roles” (Nolte). According to McIntosh in her book Yoruba Women, Work, and Social Change, she summarizes that independent roles were played by women on agriculture and trade until colonial ideas about “female professions” changed the career paths of women (McIntosh). I don’t think that they shifted negatively for women, I believe it gave women more opportunity to have careers that they wished. ![]() In Yoruba I found that as time has changed and more outside influences were in contact with the Yoruba, the more the gender roles in Yoruba shifted. I found that in over sixteen countries people believe that men have the first right to jobs, that they believe males are more fit for political positions, and that women should have children to be fulfilled (Weziak-Bialowolska). To get these answer, I began to read about the differences in gender normality’s across different countries.

![]() This will stop Avira from updating the program but will keep updating the definitions so you will remain fully protected with out updating to the newest version of the program with the douche bad tool bar. In the mean time go into Avira settings and disable program updates. So that leaves Avast for now until they decide to sell out and become douche bags to. MSE wants to be the only program of that type on your computer. I had constant updating problems with it and the clowns at the support forum seem to have a standard answer of removing all other security programs from your machine as the solution. Than they were bought by some one and turned into a bloated POS. Light, free, good detection rates, problem free, well supported, etc. I used AVG for years and it was the best. Wow it’s just a matter of time before all the free AV become pieces of shit. My thanks goes to Nico who submitted the news via email. This also means that they stop recommending it which could in the long run reduce Avira's market share.Īre you currently using Avira products? If so, what is your take on the situation? It is usually the tech savvy users who get frustrated with a product and stop using it. What Avira may have neglected to consider is the negative perception of both partner companies on the Internet.

With record companies taking notice of Green’s musical ability, his father started to manage him and after knocking back offers from Capitol Records and other labels, Green eventually signed a five-year recording contract with Decca Records. Not surprisingly, he was labelled by Teen Scene magazine as “the youngest new face on the Hollywood scene”. During this time, Green also started writing music, and with the help of his grandfather, released his first record at the age of 12. ![]() Not long after, he shot his first television commercial and performed in his first major theatre production where he received strong reviews from LA Times. Aware of his obvious musical talent, Green’s parents sent him for both music and acting lessons.

However, in modern times less expensive lions, mass-produced in concrete and resin, have become available and their use is therefore no longer restricted to the elite. Indeed, a traditional symbol of a family's wealth or social status was the placement of guardian lions in front of the family home. Because of the high cost of these materials and the labor required to produce them, private use of guardian lions was traditionally reserved for wealthy or elite families. The lions are traditionally carved from decorative stone, such as marble or granite, or cast in bronze or iron. It may also be due to the misidentification of the guardian lion figures as representing certain Chinese dog breeds such as the Chow Chow ( 鬆獅犬 sōngshī quǎn 'puffy-lion dog') or Pekingese ( 獅子狗 Shīzi Gǒu 'lion dog'). Reference to guardian lions as dogs in Western cultures may be due to the Japanese reference to them as "Korean dogs" ( 狛犬・高麗犬) due to their transmission from China through Korea into Japan. However, Chinese reference to the guardian lions are seldom prefixed with 佛 or 福, and more importantly never referred to as "dogs". The term " Fo" or " Fu" may be transliterations to the words 佛 ( pinyin: fó) or 福 ( pinyin: fú), which means "Buddha" or "prosperity" in Chinese, respectively. In English and several Western languages, the guardian lions are often referred by a multitude of names such as: "Fu Dogs", "Foo Dogs", "Fu Lions", "Fo Lions", and "Lion Dogs".

When the alignment window opens it will display the first glued mesh and the second mesh, both with different colors to assist in the point selection.

She was determined to work on areas which needed relief and happily concentrated on areas at request. It is an hour long massage which was physically therapeutic. Also if you mention any special likes she kindly goes out of her way to customize the meal to your liking. She prepared such delicious meals that I had forgotten some foods had been eliminated from the diet that week.

She was able to gently demonstrate how to better position each individual during the sessions. Katya as the yoga instructor (and owner) was great with her technique. During the retreat there was a good balance of yoga to begin the day followed with down time and a massage while having the detox shakes throughout the day.

Hi we have recently suffered a case of really poor seating padding as well and the response has been so so, in fact I have gone so far as taking the product to 3 independent upholsterers and furniture manufacturers who all state the quality of the foam is very poor and not of seating standard.

Socialism is a less rigid, more flexible ideology. In communism, a violent revolution in which the workers rise up against the middle and upper classes is seen as an inevitable part of achieving a pure communist state. But industrial production, or the chief means of generating wealth, is communally owned and managed by a democratically elected government.Īnother key difference in socialism versus communism is the means of achieving them. ![]() A strong central government-the state-controls all aspects of economic production, and provides citizens with their basic necessities, including food, housing, medical care and education.īy contrast, under socialism, individuals can still own property.

Key Differences Between Communism and Socialism Marx and Engels themselves didn’t consistently or clearly differentiate communism from socialism, which helped ensure lasting confusion between the two terms. In fact, Marxists often refer to socialism as the first, necessary phase on the way from capitalism to communism. Marx argued that all history was a history of class struggles, and that the working class (or proletariat) would inevitably triumph over the capital class (bourgeoisie) and win control over the means of production, forever erasing all classes.Ĭommunism, sometimes referred to as revolutionary socialism, also originated as a reaction to the Industrial Revolution, and came to be defined by Marx’s theories-taken to their extreme end. With his collaborator Friedrich Engels, Marx published The Communist Manifesto in 1848, which included a chapter criticizing those earlier socialist models as utterly unrealistic “utopian” dreams. Then came Karl Marx, the German political philosopher and economist who would become one of the most influential socialist thinkers in history. In the first half of the 19th century, early socialist thinkers like Henri de Saint-Simon, Robert Owen and Charles Fourier presented their own models for reorganizing society along the lines of cooperation and community, rather than the competition inherent in capitalism, where the free market controlled the supply and demand of goods. Many workers grew increasingly poor even as factory owners and other industrialists accrued massive wealth. Socialism emerged in response to the extreme economic and social changes caused by the Industrial Revolution, and particularly the struggles of workers. |
