Discussion for Islam: In Ibn al-Kalbi’s The Book of Idols, he describes what Islam often refers to as “the time of ignorance,” in a work of history that tries to document out what religion in the Arabian peninsula looked like before the rise of Islam. Al-Kalbi’s concern is to portray what Islam has moved away from, what it has “corrected,” in part to show the problems it is trying to solve. What seems of most concenr to Al-Kalbi in this excerpt? Are there other religions such as Christianity have looked at a particular time in history to highlight the problems they emphasize, or to suggest a time in which we can find examples of things when they were “correct”? How do religions use stories about the past to convey their teachings? please provide 250 words; 100% Plagiarism Free Solution with Reference Solved by verified study co-pilot All Study Co-Pilots are evaluated by…

Identify which terroristic element who believe to be the most dangerous to the United States and why? There are no wrong answers per se and consider this an opportunity to use critical thinking to address an important homeland security issue. Answer: I believe that there is a culmination of threat that are all taking place within our borders that are based on various ideological extremism.

What does Bastien say lies at the heart of the Eurocentred concept of culture? How is that different from its Siksikaitsitapi counterpart?
What does Bastien say lies at the heart of the Eurocentred concept of culture? How is that different from its Siksikaitsitapi counterpart? According to Bastien, Eurocentred concept of culture describes the nature of humanness is represented by an objectified self while in the Siksikaitsitapi concept of culture originated from spiritual relationships as well as kinship relations (p. 16). They heavily emphasize on cosmic relationships and alliances with the natural world. In the heart of the Eurocentred concept of culture, self-intelligence and selfknowledge is what represents humanness. It is based on individuality and reality, which is opposite to the Siksikaitsitapi concept of culture. In the Eurocentred concept, human development and education came from dealing with realistic ideas and knowledge, rather than events or experiences. Bastein states, “Culture and self thus have become abstractions that can be controlled and manipulated in accordance with the values of Eurocentred societies” (p.17). The Eurocentred concept…
How do McPherson & Rabb define Indigeneity? Based on the evidence presented, do you agree with them that Indigeneity has survived the colonial experience? Why or why not?
How do McPherson & Rabb define Indigeneity? Based on the evidence presented, do you agree with them that Indigeneity has survived the colonial experience? Why or why not? In the McPherson and Rabb readings, in the Ojibwa and other Native world view, Indigeneity is defined as having close relations and identification with the land, such as rocks, soils, and other animals and acknowledging them as ‘persons’. In the Ojibwa perspective, a person can either be a human-person or an other-than-human persons. This is to imply that they show respect to nature and would treat nature as they would a human being. They also do not believe there is a hierarchy system in nature, but that humans, other animals, and the land itself are all equal. They really emphasize on “living with the land” as opposed to “living on the land” (p. 10-11). McPherson and Rabb also defines Indigenous peoples as…

Identify and discuss the various ways that individuals might adopt leadership roles within their communities. Are there examples of women holding leadership roles? In the different ecozones of what is now Canada, the First Peoples had various ways that individuals might adopt leadership roles within their communities. In the Subarctic Cultures, different individuals would take on leadership roles as there were no formal chiefs. Both men and women contributed in making group-decisions. In the Northwest Coast Cultures, the villages had hierarchical system that ranked its people. The rank of the individual depended on how closely related they were to the leader of their group, where the social status was high if closely related to the chief. The wealth of an individual or family was based on possession of valuable resources such as copper or fish oil. In the Plateau Cultures, there were many chiefs with each having responsibility over a…
