Bridewealth and Dowry
[ send me this paper ]
A 6 page paper assessing whether bridewealth and dowry practices in Africa protect women or further gender inequality. Both bridewealth and dowry have had the effect of redistributing wealth within the areas in which the people practicing it live, and in so doing also provide a homogenizing effect on class and status in Africa. The nature and uses of both forms have been changing in recent years, however, so that at present bridewealth among the elites often fills a role traditionally reserved for dowry. Though the concepts of bridewealth and dowry seem backward to those not practicing them, they have the effect of protecting women rather than undermining the advance of gender equality in Africa.

Cannibalism: Ancient Cultural Rituals, Acts of Desperation, and Acts of Psychological Deviancy
[ send me this paper ]
An 8 page discussion of the societal considerations of cannibalism. Approaches cannibalism first from the ritualistic perspective of ancient cultures which in many case see the act as preserving the connection between living and dead and the passing of the attributes of the dead to the living. The author then approaches the topic of cannibalism from the perspective of those who must resort to cannibalism in order to survive catastrophic events. Provides examples of the 1992 air crash in the Andes and the Donner Party in the winter of 1846-1847 in which the survivors ate the flesh of those that died in order to live themselves. Concludes with an example of the psychological deviancy of cannibalism in such cases as that of serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer who was convicted of killing and eating portions of the bodies of seventeen of his victims. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
