Examples include the satire on the political sphere like Walpole and his statesmen, or the social sphere with the biased law system due to the inequality between the rich and the poor. Or even the satire on Italian Operas being too dramatic. The formation of this opera eventually led to the term "Ballad Opera" being coined; considering the

During the early years of settler colonization during the 17th century, the Iroquois nation, rather known as the Haudenosaunee people, faced growing pressure to maintain legal traditions over time. The Iroquois practiced "the Great Law of Peace," or Kainerekowa, which is known as a "complex and sophisticated" legal tradition (Borrows, 73). Along with the Great Law of Peace, the Two Row Wampum, also recognized as the Gus Wen Tah, were important foundations of Iroquois customs. The legal tradition

Abstract Being an aborigine in a white dominated society is a complicated identity. Australia, one of the white governed nations, also owns many aboriginal tribes. They lived harmonious lives in the early period. But European colonization has made a profound effect on the lives of Aboriginals in Australia, which led to the total demolition of their native culture, identity and history. As a result the new generation Aboriginals have lost their Aboriginal heritage and have been accepted neither by

In 1871, the first treaty was signed in Fort Garry, Manitoba. This treaty set the tone for the rest of the treaties that the Crown made with the First Nations People. Although the treaties were written documents there was a vastly different understanding with what the First Nations understood and what the Crown understood.

In the late 1950’s independence was beginning to look as though it was quickly approaching and New Zealand was now beginning to realise that there was a critical shortage of trained and experienced Samoan administrative personnel. New Zealand understood that in order to continue appearing to the outside world as a helping figure to the Samoans they needed to quickly train the Samoans in order to have hard proof that they were helping and not deceiving the world and more specifically the United Nations

The two treaties I chose were Treaty 6 and the Two Row Wampum. Treaty 6 was created in the late 19th century as part of the process of establishing the Dominion of Canada and facilitating westward expansion into what is now central and northern Alberta and Saskatchewan. The Treaty was negotiated between representatives of the Crown and Indigenous peoples, including the Plains and Woods Cree, Assiniboine, and other band governments at Fort Carlton and Fort Pitt, Saskatchewan.

On November 5th 1881, a terrible atrocity occurred at Parihaka, an area in Western Taranaki which had become a settlement dedicated to peaceful protest against the appropriation of Maori land. 1600 Pakeha police officers and volunteers stormed the village, arrested the leaders, and dispersed the majority of the inhabitants, leaving a wake of destruction behind as they did so.

What happened there during the six weeks of Japanese occupation in December 1937 during the Second Sino-Japanese War is one of the foremost atrocities ever committed in the history of humankind
