The Golden Path is not a modern culture. For our American standards this community is third world. The citizens of The Golden Path had the opportunity to have all of the technology of the modern age. However, they turned it down after seeing the corruption of the American people that had such technology. They did decided to keep guns and learned to make ammunition.
The main belief system for the people in The Golden Path community would be a system based on Karma. They believe that the more good deeds you do the better your afterlife will be. If one lives a good life then they would have great rewards in the afterlife. They believe that if you are bad then you will be punished 10 fold. They would somewhat believe in polytheism, multiple gods, but they would have one main god who controls their fates in the afterlife. The priest would be dressed in the finest clothes. The rest of the citizens would dress in plain earthy colors. The people of The Golden Path would like

Even the young children in the community have jobs, which could be as simple as holding the baskets for the berries their moms collect. When there is time to play the children have target competitions with either a bow and arrow or a gun. The youngest children may run races and play hind and seek. The majority of their days are spent learning from the elders. The best part of the day is at night around the fire when the elders tell stories of the past.
The Golden Path does not fit with any of the three perspectives. Marx looked at the love of money and how few got rich from overworking the poor. This is not a problem in this community because there is no money. The closest sociological view to The Golden Path would be Weber. The Golden Path is absolutely a community based off of tradition. The elders pass everything down to the younger generation. There is little change in ideas or how people
The women were in charge of the house and sometimes the field. The women also had to cook and skin the animals. The men were in charge of hunting and fishing for food. The hardest responsibility was making war and protecting the village.
They believed in sharing what they have, especially any hunting or fishing gains, to others in the village to include the elders. Their worldview consists of principles, or ideals that made sense of the world around them. This view of the world enabled them to make artifacts (tools for hunting and fishing, clothing, and shoes to name a very few) that were apt for their world. Everything that they made was sufficient, efficient, renewable, natural, eco-friendly, and compatible to their worldview. This was done as to not offend the animals or harm the landscape.
Nourishment was also an essential part of their everyday life and just like in the Stone Age era, the natives were classified as hunter-gatherers. The hunting was mainly done by the men and the women would be in charge of the cooking and the collection of edible plants. However; these activities were not set in stone and sometimes men would do the cooking while women made the
The gilded age of the United States is an extremely interesting era that generally gets diluted in the teaching of American history. However, this age was very critical in the development of many modern ideas and institutions we utilize today. Change and continuity are both prevalent in this time, but change is the primary element from 1877 to 1900.
A ‘golden age’ can be interpreted in many ways; it can be a time of
“In the years which followed the gold discoveries, society was not stratified. Moral and religious principles were often disregarded, and all kinds of irregular situations could be found.”3
... as “thieves and police,” hide and seek, tenta (tag) and electisado (statues). Children also play with simple materials such as shells and stones, and girls make dolls out of dough. Some school grounds have soccer fields, and the game is popular with both sexes. Boys also enjoy baseball, while girls prefer basketball or volleyball.
From the period between the 1870’s through the 1890’s, it became an era known as the Gilded Age. The term was characterized by a famous American Literature author named Mark Twain. The writer tried to point out that the term means that while on the outside society may seem perfect and in order, underneath there is poverty, crime, corruption, and many other issues between American society’s rich and poor. This era’s gild is thicker than the cheaper material it’s covering. This can be shown through the countless numbers of achievements and advances America has made during the period of reconstruction and expansion, industrialization, and foreign affairs.
The discussion of children and school also gives well meaning of an organized and well-balanced village the people have put together, one the average parent would want their children raised in. “They tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into boisterous play, and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, of books and reprimands (p.445).” The thought of children playing also illustrates of a positive outlook for the rest of the story, a sense of happiness.
The Cheyenne Indians had quite an interesting life and many different customs that even live on today. The daily life of a Cheyenne always began before the sun rose. Women and men each had their own separate duties for the day. The women would prepare the meals while the men and boys would herd up the horses back to their camp. Each day, also, there were daily activities announced to everyone in the tribe. These activities included the children to go out and play for most of the day, the women would clean and have their time to converse with the other women, and the men would go out and play w...
"Gilded" means covered with a layer of gold. The Gilded Age was an era known by a derogatory name. This era had great economic boosting but corruption caused by corporate dominance of politics and to the oppressive treatment of those left behind in the scramble for wealth. Of course, Howard Zinn (author of History is a Weapon; A People's History of the United States) and Eric Foner (author of Give Me Liberty; An American History) had different perspectives of the Gilded Age. Zinn thought mainly about economic growth which helped the United States overall, but Foner without a doubt focused more on politics.
The Gilded Age (1870-1900) was considered the golden age of America. The term the Gilded Age was coined by Mark Twain and Charles Dudley Warner in their book The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today (1873). The Gilded Age had success, like the economic boom and the formation of labor unions, but the weaknesses of that era were far greater than those accomplishments, like the ill prepared government, the unequal distribution of wages and the racial discrimination held against the Chinese, African Americans and the Indians
In Tibet, what they did for entertainment at their homes was that they played outside all day long when they were little. Yina said, “When I was young, I would sneak out of the house and play outside all day, so I wouldn’t have to do chores and more things”. In Tibet, they hated playing inside because it was too boring and there was nothing to do. They had few or no toys to play with too, so they played with sticks and things you would find outside to play with. Most of the parents and grandparents mostly work while the children play. Yina's parents and grandparents are “completely different people than the people in the US” (Yina). People in the US don’t live their grandparents while in Tibet four to five generations live in one household
Saul Bellow is known as one of the most influential and important writers in the post World War II era and has won numerous awards for his work including the Pulitzer Prize, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the Nobel Prize for literature. One of Bellow's famous short stories, "A Father-to-Be" follows a single day in the life of a young scientist, Rogin, who is starting to feel pressure from his fiancee, Joan, and the stress of marriage and possibly fatherhood. "The Gonzaga Manuscripts" is another short story of Bellows that is examined by many critics. The story tracks the expedition of an American scholar, Charles Feiler, who is in search for the works of a Spanish poet, Gonzaga. To find the poems would be an act of deliverance in Feiler's mind and he believes bringing that little part of Gonzaga to the world would be an act of hope the world needs.A final example of Bellow's short stories is "Looking for Mr. Green". The tale outlines the first day on the job for a relief check delivery man, George Grebe and his struggle in finding his first receiver in a Chicago ghetto. In Saul Bellow's critically acclaimed novella, Seize the Day, which includes three short stories, Bellow explores the central theme of the protagonist's fight against the unpredictable conflicts of life and the search for transcendence and truth.
