John Frum Revitalization Movement The Revitalization Movement and Salvation Rituals of the South Pacific Melanesians had a particularly interesting effect on colonization. Elements of Christianity make this movement syncretic and highlight the universality of the ideas of salvation and new beginnings. The Melanesian Cargo Cults first became known to the modern world shortly after World War II. The Australian government at the time was already heavily involved in the colonization of New Guinea and

an Oceania country called Micronesia. They use a lot of electricity. Finally, there is an African country named Equatorial Guinea. They use less oil and electricity which helps with pollution. These countries all have wonderful and terrible reasons to reside in them. However, there is one country that stands out beyond the rest despite some downsides. This country is Equatorial Guinea. There are many reasons why Equatorial Guinea is much better than Kazakhstan, Micronesia, and Bahrain. The first
introduced to a case study about increased rates of suicide of teen boys in Micronesia. Gladwell explains that suicide in Micronesia is common and it is triggered by the slightest things. Almost all of the suicides are males that are in their late teens and living at home. Usually, these teens are triggered by arguments with their girlfriends or parents. Gladwell then tells readers that teen suicide is a fatal epidemic in Micronesia that is related to another fatal epidemic: teen smoking in the West. Nobody
In The Tipping Point, chapter seven Malcolm Gladwell talked about suicide, smoking, and the search for the unsticky cigarettes. Malcolm Gladwell writes about the affects each epidemic has on a person. He compares Micronesian teens and teen smokers in America by classifying them as an infectious epidemic of peer pressure, self-destruction, rebellion, and engaged in for experimentation purposes. In Gladwell’s book, he talks about the way we should relay information to others on prevention. In his opinion
Paper #2 Music can be defined as a collection of sounds and silence, however, as we learned in class, music style and verity can differ greatly between regions of the world. In this paper, we will summarize each studied region by listing a few important characteristics and themes of each. We will first look into the regional themes and styles of China, followed by those from Japan and Bali, then move on to the Pacific Islands, and finally end with Pacific Latin America. We will also compare and
Futuna, Niue, Tuvalu, and French Polynesia. The settlements of the Polynesian people have also extended into New Guinea, Caroline Islands, Solomon Islands, Ratuma, and Vanuatu. Polynesia only makes up 1/3 of Oceana. The other 2/3s are made up by Micronesia and Melanesia. The Pacific Island people were originally from Taiwan until they

The culture and structure of life in the Pacific region, or Oceania, has always been fascinating to me. There are so many things to know and learn about the Pacific Islands and their way of life. In this paper I will look deeper into the culture and describe ways in which this culture has, and continues to, survive. In doing this I will examine this particular cultures society, family structure, life ways, unique and indigenous ways, history, future, and changing factors that effect their way of
my patience was close to slipping. I have been dealing with the hospital for hours trying to figure out what the problem was with my mother’s health insurance. My mother’s health insurance was from Micronesia. The coverage she had was supposed to cover her care in selected hospitals outside of Micronesia if her condition was an emergency or was severe. Apparently, my mother was the first person they have had to deal with that had that kind of health insurance coverage. I pride
“Obesity isn't as cool as it used to be, back in the earlier centuries. Before it was a reflection on your gross income, and now it's just plain gross.” ― Jarod Kintz, This Book is Not for Sale Increased portion sizes have gone unnoticed by consumers unaware of their unhealthy actions and has become the trend because of its gradual incorporation in our eating habits. In just twenty years, significant differences among the sizes of products can be noticed and most often seen to have doubled(1)
Throughout history, humans have been influenced by the ocean both directly and indirectly. We depend on the Ocean for many reasons; the air we breathe, the food on our plate, the items in our medicine cabinets and jobs and the economy. The ocean is something that we as humans take advantage of and don’t take the responsibility of caring for it. By doing this we are damaging beautiful and thriving ecosystems and killing the world as a whole that will affect how we live in the future. Most people don’t

Currently, not much is known with certainty about Zika, however, it is speculated there is a link between it and congenital malformations seen in newborns and other brain involved ailments which have been compared with the demyelization as it is seen in Multiple Sclerosis.

predicting the moves of the enemy earned him the high honor as a student at the Naval War College. Ellis would go on to teach at the Naval War College and write many works that were innovative for his time and ours. Advanced Based Operations In Micronesia, is arguably his most notable work. ELLIS’ WRITINGS PROVIDE SOLUTIONS TO MANY OF THE PROBLEMS WE FACE IN MODERN WARFARE AND BUSH BRIGADES IS PERHAPS THE MOST RELEVANT WORK OF ELLIS’ FOR OUR TIME. His works serve as the bases for Marine Corp Operations
In “Eating Christmas in the Kalahari” we are given an inside view of what a social anthropologist experienced while celebrating a tradition in another culture. In American culture Christmas is celebration of God, spending time with family members, and giving gifts to one another. On the other hand, in the Bushmen’s tradition they gather the biggest ox to offer to their people, and have a celebration. As a man from a different culture, Lee wanted to give the Bushmen’s one of the largest ox he could
W4A1 Question 1: a. Why do you believe each culture undertook the creation of your selected monumental work of architecture and sculpture despite the difficulties of accomplishing them? What can we assume about a work of art without such knowledge? The moai statues of Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, are some of the most mysterious structures ever seen (Cothren & Stokstad, 2011, p.873). Easter Island is one of the most remote islands in the world. It is 2,300 miles from the coast of South
One of my favorite hobbies is creating strategy and conquest board games. I have developed numerous games through adaptations of existing games and creation of completely new systems. Developing new game mechanics and environments with balanced sub-systems that provide the game with a good level of complexity while maintaining playability is rewarding. In fact, I have found that one of the most satisfying parts of this hobby is developing a new game with a balanced system that provides many possible
The short film documentary Basic Health Hawaii: Broken Spirits, Healing Souls by Keola Diaz shines a light on the struggles of COFA citizens in health care in the United States. The COFA agreement is between America, the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. COFA citizens were promised education opportunities, work opportunities, and healthcare services in the states. Naturally, COFA migrants often come to Hawaii for medical treatment. To
Manta Rays Ever since I first went Scuba Diving I have always wanted to see a manta ray up close. I have heard so many stories about them, and how awesome it was to dive with them. People have told me, "manta rays are very gentle creatures, and their size is overwhelming. They will come up to you as if you had called them like a dog, and soar gracefully over your head as you stare at them in disbelief." Right after I heard this I knew that I had to dive with, and learn everything about them
The Lapita culture became the focal point of the colonization of the islands of Polynesia, Micronesia, and parts of Melanesia (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 142). A major component of the Lapita culture was navigation of the sea which was facilitated by the development of large sail and paddle driven canoes (von Sivers, Desnoyers, and Stow 143)
