The relationship between Political Science and Social Anthropology

Asia
On principle, social anthropology is concerned with the social struc­ture and culture of the primitive peoples. Social anthropology, despite its variants in the US, Europe and Asia, restricts itself to the study of the cultural and social ways of life of the people. On the other hand, quite opposite to the anthropological tradition, politics and for that matter political science is concerned with power and authority. The realms of focus are different; access to society is also different. But there are very close relations between the two disciplines. The traditional textbooks of social anthropology tread the oft-re-peated track of defining a particular discipline, show its subject matter and scope and finally mention the relationship. This does not take into consideration the empirical research position of the relationship of the two…

Short Essay on Capital Punishment

Canada
Capital punishment, also called as the death penalty, is the putting to death of a convicted criminal by the state as punishment for crimes that are listed as capital offenses.It is a cruel form of punishment which has been abolished in many countries. It is a brutal, inhuman, out-of-date concept that is carried out in the name of justice by a so- called civilized society. ADVERTISEMENTS: The death penalty exercises the most primal instinct to kill and extract revenge. While it claims to be an upright alternative for dealing with convicted criminals, it is in reality, hypocritical and cruel.It’s a paradox-the very society that loathes the act of murdering will resort to righteously murdering the criminal who committed the murder.

Essay on Development by Statutes of Constitution

United States
No constitution is complete by itself and nowhere has an attempt ever been made to reduce all details into writing. The framers of a constitution always leave room for the system to grow.Chief Justice Marshall declared in McCulloch v. Maryland that a constitution is “intended to endure for ages to come, and consequently, to be adapted to the various crises of human affairs.To have prescribed the means to which government should, in all future time, execute its powers, would have been to change, entirely, the character of the instrument and give it the properties of a legal code. It would have been an unwise attempt to provide, by immutable rules, for exigencies which, if foreseen at all, must have been seen dimly, and which can best be provided for as…

Most of the people have the habit of boasting about what they are going to achieve in the future in an exaggerated form.

It is extremely essential to remember that if your achievements are worth noticing, people will sooner or later come to know about them merely through the word of mouth.It is better to take a step ahead and work hard in achieving your dream rather than feeling proud about it. If for example, you are a good student and…

4 Important Factors That Influence the Rate of Extinction of Species

United States
4 Important Factors That Influence the Rate of Extinction of Species are as follows: 1. Population Size and Geographic Distribution: Smaller populations are at greater risk of extinction than larger ones. Rosenzweig and Clark (1994) examined data from their studies of bird populations of the British Isles (Diamond, 1984). Their study shows that extinction probability decreases as population size increases. Similar finding are on record in case of spider populations on islands (Schoenor and Spiller, 1992) and bighorn sheep (Berger, 1990).Small populations are seriously affected than large ones due to small changes in natality, mortality or environmental factors. Larger genetic variability and distribution pattern of large population serve as a buffer in protecting them from risk of extinction. Geographic distributions and longevity of many species can be estimated (Jablonski and…
